Abstract
Contemporary society is characterized by highly specialized forms of communication which create special conditions for governance. Extreme forms of specialization are compensated for by intensive forms of interaction and interdependence between the different communicative functions. The result is, paradoxically, that different functions and tasks are drawn closer together in the face of their differences. Distinctively different logics interdepend on each other in ways which may be difficult to fully grasp and understand.
