("Where you live is who you are". Gated Communities in Metro Manila)
Boris MichelGated communities are perceived as one of the fastest-growing segments in the private property sector worldwide and have recently become a major focus of research in urban studies. Gated communities have been part of Metro Manila’s cityscape for several decades. Initially a symbol of upper-class wealth and power, they were gradually adopted by the middle classes and are now a central part of their modern lifestyle in many countries. Starting from contemporary debates on gated communities, this article attempts to show that the success of this form of built environment is not a single-cause phenomenon, but is linked to a series of local and global factors.

Sozialstruktur und Arbeitsteilung.
Eine historische Skizze am Beispiel Festlandsüdostasiens
(Social Structure and the Division of Labour.
A Historical Outline Taking Mainland Southeast Asia as an Example)
Boike RehbeinThe history of social structures in Southeast Asia displays many traits that we consider typical for recent tendencies in globalisation: migration, diasporas, multiculturalism, the absence of nation states, and local and regional diversity. The European social sciences emerged during the rise of the nation states, which they still take as their units of analysis. Their concepts are therefore not adequate enough for analysing historical and contemporary social structures in Southeast Asia. The argument made in this paper is based on the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu, albeit with several revisions of his theory. A central conceptual distinction is made between social structure and division of labour, terms which tradition has confused. "Division of labour” is conceived of as a division of work (including activities that go beyond labour) and comprises a variety of different cultures. These cultures have developed historically as divisions of work and persist as sociocultures even in modernised societies. In Southeast Asia, subsistence ethics prevails among the rural population, while patrimonialism has remained the dominating socioculture in urban environments. These sociocultures are superseded but not done away with by globalisation and modern cultures like bureaucracy and capitalism. In different parts of Southeast Asia varying configurations of sociocultures and structures emerge that build on historical and contemporary differences.

Hegemonialer Interventionismus oder humanitäre Stabilisierung?
Die Entwicklung der australischen Pazifikpolitik zur pazifischen Integration
(Hegemonial Interventionism or Humanitarian Stabilisation?
The Development of Australia’s Pacific Policy in the Direction of Pacific Integration)
Andreas HoltzSince the first coups took place in Fiji in 1987, the South Pacific has become an ever more precarious region. In Australia’s eyes, the arc of instability in Melanesia is the main reason for concern. After the attacks in Bali in 2002, the contemporary government of Prime Minister John Howard decided to change the hands-off approach adopted until then and instead take a hands-on approach to the Pacific. This seems a new step, but in fact it was only a policy shift and not a shift of paradigms in Australia's Pacific policy.
In this essay the author attempts to show that Australia has only intensified its old policy by using co-operative interventionism and instruments of a shared sovereignty. In the course of this kind of interventionism, Australia has underlined its position as a leading country in the region. As a result, Australia is responsible for the restructuring of the regional economic system and the Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI). The next step is the so-called Pacific Plan, which is changing the region in an integrated way due to the Pacific Forum being restructured. Australia's security and economical interests in the South Pacific appear neo-colonial to many Pacific islands leaders for this reason.
