This meta-regression analysis i) summarizes direct links between adverse climatic events and migration, ii) maps patterns of climate migration, and iii) explains the variation in outcomes. Using a set of limited dependent variable models, we meta-analyze thus-far the most comprehensive sample of 3,625 estimates from 116 original studies and produce novel insights on climate migration. We find that extremely high temperatures and drying conditions increase migration. We do not find a significant effect of sudden-onset events. Climate migration is most likely to emerge due to contemporaneous events, to originate in rural areas and to take place in middle-income countries, internally, to cities. The likelihood to become trapped in affected areas is higher for women and in low-income countries, particularly in Africa. We uniquely quantify how pitfalls typical for the broader empirical climate impact literature affect climate migration findings. We also find evidence of different publication biases.}, language = {en} } @techreport{Zivkovic2018, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Zivkovic, Velimir}, title = {International Rule of Law Through International Investment Law}, series = {KFG Working Paper Series}, journal = {KFG Working Paper Series}, number = {16}, issn = {2509-3770}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-42218}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-422181}, pages = {33}, year = {2018}, abstract = {In challenging times for international law, there might be a heightened need for both analysis and prescription. The international rule of law as a connecting thread that goes through the global legal order is a particularly salient topic. By providing a working understanding of the content and contexts of the international rule of law, and by taking the regime of international investment law as a case study, this paper argues that assessing 'rise' or 'decline' motions in this sphere warrants a nuanced approach that should recognise parallel positive and negative developments. Whilst prominent procedural and substantive aspects of international investment law strongly align with the international rule of law requirements, numerous challenges threaten the future existence of the regime and appeal of international rule of law more broadly. At the same time, opportunities exist to adapt the substantive decision-making processes in investor-State disputes so to pursue parallel goals of enhancing rule of law at both international and national levels. Through recognising the specificities of interaction between international and national sphere, arbitrators can further reinvigorate the legitimacy of international rule of law through international investment law - benefitting thus the future of both.}, language = {en} } @techreport{ZimmermannBoos2018, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Zimmermann, Andreas and Boos, Felix}, title = {Bringing States to Justice for Crimes against Humanity}, series = {KFG Working Paper Series}, journal = {KFG Working Paper Series}, number = {12}, issn = {2509-3770}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-42203}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-422035}, pages = {24}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Draft Art. 15 CCAH attempts to strike a balance between State autonomy and robust judicial supervision. It largely follows Article 22 CERD conditioning the jurisdiction of the ICJ on prior negotiations. Hence, the substance of the clause is interpreted in light of the Court's recent case law, especially Georgia v. Russia. Besides, several issues regarding the scope ratione temporis of the compromissory clause are discussed. The article advances several proposals to further improve the current draft, addressing the missing explicit reference to State responsibility, as well as the relationship between the Court and a possible treaty body, It also proposes to recalibrate the interplay of a requirement of prior negotiations respectively the seizing of a future treaty body on the one hand and provisional measures to be indicated by the Court on the other.}, language = {en} } @techreport{Ziemann2022, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Ziemann, Niklas}, title = {You will receive your money next week!}, series = {CEPA Discussion Papers}, journal = {CEPA Discussion Papers}, number = {56}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2628-653X}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-56398}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-563983}, pages = {24}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Against the background of the increasingly discussed "Linguistic Saving Hypothesis" (Chen, 2013), I studied whether the targeted use of a present tense (close tense) and a future tense (distant tense) within the same language have an impact on intertemporal decision-making. In a monetarily incentivized laboratory experiment in Germany, I implemented two different treatments on intertemporal choices. The treatments differed in the tense in which I referred to future rewards. My results show that individuals prefer to a greater extent rewards which are associated with a present tense (close tense). This result is in line with my prediction and the first empirical support for the Linguistic Saving Hypothesis within one language. However, this result holds exclusively for males. Females seem to be unaffected by the linguistic manipulation.

As Krieger and Liese argue, this situation calls for assessment of the type of change that is currently observed, i.e. norm change (Wandel) or a more fundamental transformation of international law - a metamorphosis (Verwandlung)? To address this question, this paper details the bi-focal approach to norms in order to reflect and take account of the complex interrelation between fact-based and value-based conceptions of norms. The paper is organised in three sections. The first section presents three axioms underlying the conceptual framework to study norm(ative) change which are visualised by a triangular operation to analyse this change in relation with practices and norms. The second section recalls three key interests that have guided IR norms research after the return to norms in the late 1980s. They include, first, allocating change in and through practice, second, identifying behavioural change with reference to norm- following, and third, identifying norm(ative) change with reference to discursive practice. The third section presents the two analytical tools of the conceptual frame, namely, the norm-typology and the cycle-grid model. It also indicates how to apply these tools with reference to illustrative case scenarios. The conclusion recalls the key elements of the conceptual framework for research on norm(ative) change in international relations in light of the challenge of establishing sustainable normativity in the global order.}, language = {en} } @techreport{Westerhoff2002, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Westerhoff, Horst-Dieter}, title = {Die Zukunft der Argrarpolitik angesichts der EU-Erweiterung}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-53123}, year = {2002}, language = {de} } @techreport{Westerhoff2007, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Westerhoff, Horst-Dieter}, title = {Die amtliche Statistik in der demokratische Gesellschaft}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-16180}, year = {2007}, abstract = {Inhalt: Die Statistik als Spiegel der Gesellschaft - Statistik als „Weg in die Realit{\"a}t" - Statistik als Spiegel des politischen Systems Grundelemente der demokratischen Ordnung Statistik und Gewaltenteilung - Das Legalit{\"a}tsprinzip - Die vertikale Gewaltenteilung - Die Internationalisierung der Statistik - Exkurs: Statistik in einem monistischen System Statistik und konkurrierende Willensbildung - Mittel zur Konsensbildung - Die „informationelle Infrastruktur" - Voraussetzungen der Infrastruktur - Statistik in der politischen Diskussion Statistik und partielle politische Integration - Grenzen der amtlichen Statistik - Statistik im staatsfreien Raum - Die Privatisierung der Statistik - Das Volksz{\"a}hlungsurteil}, language = {de} }
