  abstract  = {Am 24. Mai 2002 verstarb der Alexander-von-Humboldt-Forscher Kurt-R. Biermann nach kurzer, schwerer Krankheit. Am 5. Dezember 1919 in Bernburg an der Saale geboren, konnte Biermann seine wissenschaftliche Laufbahn nach Krieg und Gefangenschaft erst als Mittdreißiger beginnen. Im Zentrum seiner Forschungst{\"a}tigkeit stand die Arbeit in der Alexander-von-Humboldt-Forschungsstelle der Berliner Akademie der Wissenschaften, an deren Aufbau er maßgeblich beteiligt war und die er von 1969 bis 1984 leitete. Hier setzte Biermann durch die Ver{\"o}ffentlichung der Briefwechsel Alexander von Humboldts mit dem Mathematiker Carl Friedrich Gauß, dem Astronomen Heinrich Christian Schumacher, um nur zwei Beispiele zu nennen, Maßst{\"a}be f{\"u}r die quellenkritische personen- und werkbezogene wissenschaftshistorische Arbeit. Auch als Emeritus blieb er der Forschungsstelle eng verbunden. Bis 1996 wirkte er in der Alexander-von-Humboldt-Kommission der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Viele seiner sp{\"a}ten Aufs{\"a}tze verfaßte er mit Co-Autoren, denen er in der praktischen Arbeit seine F{\"o}rderung angedeihen ließ. Mehrfach wurde Biermann als Tutor wirksam, darunter auch f{\"u}r Stipendiaten der Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung. Biermann erwarb sich auch einen internationalen Ruf als Mathematikhistoriker. Sein Buch {\"u}ber die „Mathematik und ihre Dozenten an der Berliner Universit{\"a}t 1810-1933" (2. Aufl. 1988) gilt heute als Standardwerk und trug ihm die Bezeichnung „father of historiography of Berlin mathematics" (1998) ein. Unter den Ehrungen, die Biermann f{\"u}r seine herausragenden Leistungen erfuhr, ist die 1971 erfolgte Wahl zum Membre effectif de l'Acad{\´e}mie internationale d'histoire des sciences hervorzuheben. Von 1989 bis 1993 war er Vizepr{\"a}sident dieser Akademie. Im Jahre 1972 w{\"a}hlte ihn auch die Deutschen Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina zu ihrem Mitglied und 1991 ernannte ihn die Gauß-Gesellschaft in G{\"o}ttingen zu ihrem Ehrenmitglied. Zu verschiedenen Anl{\"a}ssen widmeten ihm Kollegen und Sch{\"u}ler Festschriften und publizierten Bibliographien seiner Arbeiten. Die 2002 in 5., erg{\"a}nzter Auflage erschienene Zusammenstellung der Ver{\"o}ffentlichungen Kurt-R. Biermanns (Berliner Manuskripte zur Alexander von Humboldt-Forschung, H. 9) verzeichnet 22 Monographien, Sammelb{\"a}nde und Editionen sowie 287 Aufs{\"a}tze. Eine annotierte Bibliographie, die das Gesamtwerk dieses großen Forschers erschließt, wird bis zum Ende des Jahres 2002 fertiggestellt. Zu seinem f{\"u}nfundsiebzigsten und seinem achtzigsten Geburtstag ver{\"o}ffentlichten die Mitteilungen der Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung ausf{\"u}hrliche W{\"u}rdigungen des wissenschaftlichen Werkes von Kurt-R. Biermann (Nr. 65, Juli 1995, S. 82-83; Nr. 74, Dezember 1999, S. 87-88).},

  abstract  = {European integration provokes competition between the European metropolitan areas. At the same time, the question at which locations services of highest centrality are produced remains open. The paper analyses how far the German capital Berlin accepts the challenge to accomodate headquarters of multinational firms. Our investigation shows that Berlin's qualifications to attract headquarters are quite well. The number of headquarters residing in Berlin has increased subtly but contiuous during the last 15 years. One advantage could be the spatial proximity to the Eastern European markets.},

Auf der fallbezogenen Ebene zeigt sich, dass die urspr{\"u}nglich in der Berliner Median-Budgetierung intendierten Anreizfunktionen bei den Amtsleitern weitest gehend nicht verfangen. Vielmehr produziert das Verfahren Anreize, die dysfunktionale Verhaltensweisen f{\"o}rdern. Auf der generellen Ebene kann hierzu ein Zusammenhang zwischen theoretischen Annahmen zu Dysfunktionen und den Beobachtungen der Einzelfallstudie hergestellt werden.

  abstract  = {Bad governance causes economic, social, developmental and environmental problems in many developing countries. Developing countries have adopted a number of reforms that have assisted in achieving good governance. The success of governance reform depends on the starting point of each country - what institutional arrangements exist at the out-set and who the people implementing reforms within the existing institutional framework are. This dissertation focuses on how formal institutions (laws and regulations) and informal institutions (culture, habit and conception) impact on good governance. Three characteristics central to good governance - transparency, participation and accountability are studied in the research. A number of key findings were: Good governance in Hanoi and Berlin represent the two extremes of the scale, while governance in Berlin is almost at the top of the scale, governance in Hanoi is at the bottom. Good governance in Hanoi is still far from achieved. In Berlin, information about public policies, administrative services and public finance is available, reliable and understandable. People do not encounter any problems accessing public information. In Hanoi, however, public information is not easy to access. There are big differences between Hanoi and Berlin in the three forms of participation. While voting in Hanoi to elect local deputies is formal and forced, elections in Berlin are fair and free. The candidates in local elections in Berlin come from different parties, whereas the candidacy of local deputies in Hanoi is thoroughly controlled by the Fatherland Front. Even though the turnout of voters in local deputy elections is close to 90 percent in Hanoi, the legitimacy of both the elections and the process of representation is non-existent because the local deputy candidates are decided by the Communist Party. The involvement of people in solving local problems is encouraged by the government in Berlin. The different initiatives include citizenry budget, citizen activity, citizen initiatives, etc. Individual citizens are free to participate either individually or through an association. Lacking transparency and participation, the quality of public service in Hanoi is poor. Citizens seldom get their services on time as required by the regulations. Citizens who want to receive public services can bribe officials directly, use the power of relationships, or pay a third person - the mediator ("C{\`o}" - in Vietnamese). In contrast, public service delivery in Berlin follows the customer-orientated principle. The quality of service is high in relation to time and cost. Paying speed money, bribery and using relationships to gain preferential public service do not exist in Berlin. Using the examples of Berlin and Hanoi, it is clear to see how transparency, participation and accountability are interconnected and influence each other. Without a free and fair election as well as participation of non-governmental organisations, civil organisations, and the media in political decision-making and public actions, it is hard to hold the Hanoi local government accountable. The key differences in formal institutions (regulative and cognitive) between Berlin and Hanoi reflect the three main principles: rule of law vs. rule by law, pluralism vs. monopoly Party in politics and social market economy vs. market economy with socialist orientation. In Berlin the logic of appropriateness and codes of conduct are respect for laws, respect of individual freedom and ideas and awareness of community development. People in Berlin take for granted that public services are delivered to them fairly. Ideas such as using money or relationships to shorten public administrative procedures do not exist in the mind of either public officials or citizens. In Hanoi, under a weak formal framework of good governance, new values and norms (prosperity, achievement) generated in the economic transition interact with the habits of the centrally-planned economy (lying, dependence, passivity) and traditional values (hierarchy, harmony, family, collectivism) influence behaviours of those involved. In Hanoi "doing the right thing" such as compliance with law doesn't become "the way it is". The unintended consequence of the deliberate reform actions of the Party is the prevalence of corruption. The socialist orientation seems not to have been achieved as the gap between the rich and the poor has widened. Good governance is not achievable if citizens and officials are concerned only with their self-interest. State and society depend on each other. Theoretically to achieve good governance in Hanoi, institutions (formal and informal) able to create good citizens, officials and deputies should be generated. Good citizens are good by habit rather than by nature. The rule of law principle is necessary for the professional performance of local administrations and People's Councils. When the rule of law is applied consistently, the room for informal institutions to function will be reduced. Promoting good governance in Hanoi is dependent on the need and desire to change the government and people themselves. Good governance in Berlin can be seen to be the result of the efforts of the local government and citizens after a long period of development and continuous adjustment. Institutional transformation is always a long and complicated process because the change in formal regulations as well as in the way they are implemented may meet strong resistance from the established practice. This study has attempted to point out the weaknesses of the institutions of Hanoi and has identified factors affecting future development towards good governance. But it is not easy to determine how long it will take to change the institutional setting of Hanoi in order to achieve good governance.},

  abstract  = {The Prussian geologist Leopold von Buch was a lifelong friend of Alexander von Humboldt and had a significant influence on Humboldt's geological ideas. In a talk, held in Berlin in 1831, which is published here for the first time, von Buch presented the Duria Antiquior of 1830 by the English geologist Henry De La Beche. The Duria Antiquior is widely regarded as the earliest depiction of a scene of prehistoric life from deep time. The print raised new questions about the processes of geohistorical change. The talk reveals that Leopold von Buch was a true scientist of the Romantic Age. His descriptions of geohistorical organismic transformations are taken from pictorial examples of organismic transformation from the classical literature. The talk also illustrates how influential English geologists were for geo-historical reconstructions in Germany.},
