Carl Joachim Friedrich

Wer erfahren will, wie die DDR ein halbes Jahrzehnt nach ihrer Grundung von einem deutsch-amerikanischen Team ausgezeichneter Kenner auf mehr als 600 Seiten analysiert und eingeordnet wurde, wird dafur kaum eine bessere Quelle finden als dieses nur als gebundener Manuskriptdruck erschienene (1956), weitgehend vergessene und kaum rezipierte Werk. Es erscheint in der Reihe Wege der Totalitarismusforschung des Hannah-Arendt-Instituts, weil es in unmittelbarem Zusammenhang zur Ausarbeitung der meistdiskutierten Totalitarismuskonzeption unter der Agide des Politikwissenschaftlers Carl J. Friedrich an der Harvard University entstand. Einer seiner engsten Mitarbeiter und Koautoren war der spatere US-Auaenminister Henry Kissinger. Die Liste der Autoren und Berater (u.a. Gerhard Abeken, Fritz Baade, Erich Matthias, Carl Mayer, Heinrich Rittershausen, Otto Stammer, Carola Stern, Karl C. Thalheim, Siegfried Unseld) liest sich wie ein Whos Who der fruhen DDR-Forschung.

Constitutional Reason of State: The Survival of the Constitutional Order is a book written by Carl Joachim Friedrich. The book is an exploration of the concept of ""reason of state"" and its role in maintaining the stability of constitutional democracies. Friedrich argues that reason of state is a necessary component of constitutional government, as it allows the state to take actions that may be necessary for the survival of the constitutional order, even if those actions may be contrary to individual rights or other constitutional principles. The book examines the historical development of reason of state, from its origins in the early modern period to its modern manifestations. Friedrich also explores the ways in which reason of state has been used and abused throughout history, including in authoritarian regimes and during times of crisis. Throughout the book, Friedrich emphasizes the importance of balancing reason of state with other constitutional values, such as individual rights and the rule of law. He argues that a healthy constitutional democracy requires a constant negotiation between these competing values, and that reason of state should be used sparingly and only when necessary to ensure the survival of the constitutional order. Overall, Constitutional Reason of State is a thought-provoking exploration of an important concept in constitutional theory, and a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners of constitutional law and political science.

Die Soziologie wissenschaftlichen Ruhms ist weitgehend unerforscht. Ein Versuch, ihn mit behavioristischen Methoden fur die Politikwissenschaft zu analysieren, den Somit und Tanenhaus unternahmen, zahlt zu den Faktoren, die wissenschaftlichen Ruhm bedingen: originelle Ideen, Beitrage zur Syste- matisierung, Anregung wissenschaftlicher Forschung, Publikation vielge- brauchter Lehrbucher und organisatorische Fahigkeiten. Carl Joachim Friedrich wurde bei dieser Analyse - obwohl ihr gelegentlich ein behaviori- stisches bias nachgesagt wurde - von einem grossen Prozentsatz der inter- viewten Politikwissenschaftler sehr haufig zu den bedeutendsten Gelehrten seines Faches gezahlt. Einmalig war die Dauer der wissenschaftlichen Hoch- schatzung, die er in einer Zeit einer immer kurzlebiger werdenden wissen- schaftlichen Reputation genoss. Friedrich war neben Lasswell einer der wenigen, die sowohl vor 1945 als auch nach 1945 unter den 15 bedeutendsten Politikwissenschaftlern genannt wurden. ! Es wird schwer sein, unter den funf Voraussetzungen wissenschaftlicher Reputation einen einzelnen Grund fur die Bedeutung C. J. Friedrichs herauszustellen. Neue Ideen entwickelte Friedrich - so umstritten manche (vor allem in der Totalitarismusforschung) gewesen sein mogen - besonders in der Erfor- schung des Konstitutionalismus, des Foderalismus und des Totalitarismus. Seine bekanntesten Beitrage zur Systematisierung der Forschungsergebnisse sind die Werke "Constitutional Government and Democracy" (1937 ff. ) und "Man and His Government" (1963).

Mr. Friedrich develops his own position within the framework of the history of Western legal philosophy from the Old Testament down to contemporary writers. In addition, he highlights some important problems of the present day, including certain aspects of legal realism. First published in 1958, this book has been revised and enlarged.
