In 1826 the state stud ("Landgestuet") at Warendorf was founded, and in March 1904 in Muenster the Westphalian Breed Registry opened.
Well-known Westphalian horses were the showjumper "Rasputin", the military horse "Sioux" and the dressage horse "Mariano" (not to forget "Rembrandt" - LM).

The transition from the Westphalian A to the Westphalian B was marked by changes in the dominance-diversity composition of swamps.
Late Westphalian D coal swamps represent a return to the basic habitat organization characteristic of the Westphalian A: flooded habitats dominated by monocarpic lycopsids, ecotonal habitats dominated by the lycopsid Paralycopodites and medullosans, and cryptic disturbance habitats dominated by polycarpic lycopsids with structurally complex vegetation.
The reassembly of the Westphalian A type of swamp habitat organization is modified by the persistence and further expansion of tree ferns as interstitial opportunists.

 Flit(tm): Do Islamists Understand Westphalianism?
However, this Guardian article leads me away from that conclusion to the disturbing idea that what we have is WW I redux, a system that is poorly understood by all major participants.
If Hizb and the rest of the Islamists have stumbled into their westphalian safe havens by accident, completely misunderstanding the nature of what's safe and what's not, we're in a load of trouble because, by accident, they will trigger a pre-westphalian explosion, just as they have done so in miniature in the Netherlands.
For any serious effort at post-westphalian progress, adjusting the westphalian system to eliminate the safe-havens of sub-national groups trying to monkeywrench the entire system, this prospect has to be considered an alarming one.

Territoriality is a defining attribute of the Westphalian state, the model upon which the framers of the US Constitution based their aspirations for a new nation.
Jurisdictional concepts in turn flow from territory; as Holmes famously stated, “the foundation of jurisdiction is physical power.” Westphalian territorial sovereignty became supreme in Europe throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, and spread slowly and unevenly to the rest of the globe.
This set of beliefs was consistent with the prevailing 19th century Westphalian vision which took territoriality seriously, accepted conquest as legitimate, and paid obeisance to the notion that one sovereign's laws could not intrude in the space of another.

One of the consequences of post-westphalianism is that by the breakdown of the westphalian limitations, there are an awful lot of things that we now have to keep track of that we don't have to under the westphalian rules.
Westphalian rule sets permit you to create a fl box called a country and you have very limited things you have to track.
Thus in westphalian foreign policy, we trust that the government of Iran will not permit a fatwa that is not official government policy to exceed the borders of Iran.

 State | Topic Definition | Find the Meaning and Define the Answer of State
The "state" can also be defined in terms of domestic conditions, specifically the monopolization of the legitimate use of force within a country.
The word "state" in contemporary parlance often means the "Westphalian state," in reference to the Peace of Westphalia of 1648.
A number of modern commentators have claimed the decline of the Westphalian state as the principal actor of the international system, pointing to economic, cultural, political, and technological changes in the world, such as globalization and the emergence of regional and supernational groupings such as the European Union.

 BrothersJudd Blog: WESTPHAILURE:
In fact, and contrary to the Westphalian system, the formation of the United States affirmed a new principle from which government derives legitimacy: the inalienable rights of the individual human being, including the inalienable right to be governed by their consent.
The assertion of this new legitimizing principle is evident from the Declaration of Independence through the entire process of ratifying the Constitution, in the course of the Federalist debates and in the evolution of the Supreme Court under Justice John Marshall.
While the Westphalian system is strictly and absolutely agnostic on the matter of legitimizing principle - in order to give primacy to the principle of sovereignty of the State - the founding of the American republic asserts the supremacy of its legitimizing principle (inalienable rights of the people) over the sovereignty of the State.

In the Westphalian system, it was the ruler of the nation-state, regardless of whether he or she was a monarch, a military dictator, a dear leader,or embodied in an oligarchy, an aristocracy, or a parliament.
With this, the American subversion of the Westphalian system commenced – passively and by distant example for the first century, somewhat more actively towards the end of the nineteenth and into the twentieth century, and beginning to mobilize for more energetic subversion now.
This is the Westphalian proposal for a post-Westphalian response to the American challenge of constitutionalism: subordinate national constitutions to international treaty law.

 NGO
The Westphalian system is characterized by inflexible versions of sovereignty which block responsibility for humanitarian issues beyond state borders, and focus on state sovereignty and interests in a narrow sense, providing little space in which actors, official or private, could address the roots of conflict.
This paper argues that it is in this late Westphalian context, via their focus on human security derived from a world view provided by conflict resolution approaches, that NGOs derive increasing levels of legitimacy, at both the local and global level.
Enemy images are deconstructed in the context of a global set of common needs or norms, the suppression of which provides a significant imperative for conflict and which are therefore a serious obstacle to conflict management and a reduction of tensions.

Although the state has many definitions, in international relations it is usually equated with the Westphalian model of a sovereign territorial entity enjoying a monopoly of authority within and legal equality without.
Generalizing from the Westphalian model conveys the appearance of a world divided into neat territorial compartments, each governed by a single set of authorities who command the exclusive loyalties of those residing within these boundaries.
IN this case, commitment to the westphalian ideal is a ritual of power, and this affects politics, in such a way that there is a general disquiet about uncertainty, about ambiguity, and this is why things like terrorism are so dangerous.

 [No title]
The Westphalian state system is often presented as a model of self-interested competitive behavior among states but a real understanding of the state system must be based on its history.
In some sense the high point of the Westphalian state system in Europe was reached in World War I when European states, none of which actually wanted to go to war, each mobilized to counterbalance what each saw as a threat to the balance of power.
From the beginnings of the Westphalian order in 1648, to its culmination in World War I and until its end in 1945, strategic considerations constituted a key element of warfare and a major aspect of treaty settlements.

 Enlargement and the Finality of European Integration
A contrast to this Westphalian model is provided by a neo-medieval model in which the borders are soft and never fixed, authority is dispersed, and multiple cultural identities co-exist.
If the core group of the EU is serious about constructing a Westphalian type of state, it will also need to provide an overlap between different the types of borders, frontiers, fringes and triads.
In short, the instruments of a Westphalian type of state are no longer available to contemporary territorial units.

 Nat' Academies Press, Learning from SARS: Preparing for the Next Disease Outbreak -- Workshop Summary (2004)
The key principle of the Westphalian structure is sovereignty (Brownlie, 1998; Scholte, 2001).
The sovereignty principle spins off corollary principles: (i) the principle of nonintervention (Jackson, 2001); and (ii) rules governing interactions among states arose from the states themselves and were not binding unless states consented to be bound (i.e., international law) (Brownlie, 1998; The SS Lotus, 1927).
The combination of sovereignty, nonintervention, and consent-based international law meant that Westphalian governance was horizontal in nature, so that governance (i) involved only states; (ii) primarily addressed the mechanics of state interaction; and (iii) did not penetrate sovereignty to address how a government treated its people or ruled over its territory.

A braidplain facies model for the Westphalian B Coal Measures of north-east England
Department of Applied Geology, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow G1 1XJ, UK The Westphalian B (Coal Measure) sediments of Northumberland, Durham, and the other northern English coalfields were deposited on extensive coastal plains between several peripheral source areas and the Saint George's Land block to the south.
We report here a facies model resulting from studies of fluvial sandstones in the Westphalian B of Northumberland and Durham and suggest that sandy braidplains were an important feature of the depositional environment in this coalfield.

 nancy fraser | transnationalizing the public sphere
The same is (largely) true for various critiques/reconstructions of public sphere theory from the perspectives of gender, race, and class.
The further point is to empower the body of (Westphalian-national) public opinion so generated vis-Ă -vis private powers and the national state, to hold the (Westphalian) state accountable to the (Westphalian-national) citizenry, and to "rationalize" (Westphalian) state domination.
Finally, the addressee of communication, once theorized as Westphalian state power to be made answerable to public opinion, is now an amorphous mix of public and private transnational powers (suggestively named "the nebuleuse" by Robert Cox), that is neither easily identifiable nor rendered accountable.
