ABSTRACT Ernst Fraenkel’s seminal study about Nazi law, in which he described the co-existence of a ‘normative state’ and a ‘prerogative state’ as principles of government, is to be rediscovered in the new age of the prerogative. Through a critical reading of The Dual State and other important texts by Fraenkel, this article seeks to contribute to the contemporary debate on regime types and governmental power in (at least) three regards: first, by clarifying Fraenkel’s concept of and perspective on law; second, by discussing the methodological demands for the beneficial application of the dual state concept; and, third, by showing the usefulness of such an application, even beyond the field of authoritarian states in the narrower sense. Law-eroding prerogative developments cannot only be witnessed in hybrid regimes, but also in democratic states, which resort to reflections and practices of an ‘enemy criminal law’, and in the European Union’s recent crisis politics.

在特权与合法性之间——阅读 Ernst Fraenkel 的《双重国家》作为当前威权统治的分析工具

摘要 Ernst Fraenkel 对纳粹法的开创性研究，其中他将“规范国家”和“特权国家”的共存描述为政府原则，将在特权的新时代重新发现。通过对弗兰克尔的《双重国家》和其他重要文本的批判性阅读，本文试图在（至少）三个方面为当代关于政权类型和政府权力的辩论做出贡献：第一，阐明弗兰克尔的法律概念和观点；第二，通过讨论双态概念的有益应用的方法论需求；第三，通过展示这种应用的有用性，甚至超出了狭义威权国家的领域。不仅在混合政权中，而且在民主国家，都可以看到侵蚀法律的特权发展，
