It concludes by exploring the dangers and the implications for governments of differing capabilities starting out on the decentralisation path. More specifically, the paper stresses the underlying incentive structures within states in reform. It suggests a country-specific discussion of both vertical and horizontal incentive structures in decentralisation, as well as clear-cut accountability within a public sector in change. While vertical incentive structures mean defined rules for intergovernmental relationships, horizontal incentive structures mean defined rules between local governments, their citizens and the local private sector. Both sets of incentives need to be reformed jointly to stimulate better results from decentralisation and for better performance of local government. Neglecting one of them, could harm development. Above all, politics and processes are key to understanding, and eventually, managing decentralisation effectively.}, language = {en} } @article{HoehneFuhrHickmannetal.2018, author = {H{\"o}hne, Chris and Fuhr, Harald and Hickmann, Thomas and Lederer, Markus and Stehle, Fee}, title = {REDD plus and the reconfiguration of public authority in the forest sector}, series = {Global Forest Governance and Climate Change}, journal = {Global Forest Governance and Climate Change}, editor = {Nuesiri, Emmanuel O.}, publisher = {Palgrave}, address = {Basingstoke}, isbn = {978-3-319-71946-7}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-71946-7_8}, pages = {203 -- 241}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Since the 1980s, central governments have decentralized forestry to local governments in many countries of the Global South. More recently, REDD+ has started to impact forest policy-making in these countries by providing incentives to ensure a national-level approach to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. H{\"o}hne et al. analyze to what extent central governments have rebuilt capacity at the national level, imposed regulations from above, and interfered in forest management by local governments for advancing REDD+. Using the examples of Brazil and Indonesia, the chapter illustrates that while REDD+ has not initiated a large-scale recentralization in the forestry sector, it has supported the reinforcement and pooling of REDD+ related competences at the central government level.}, language = {en} } @incollection{LedererHoehneStehleetal.2020, author = {Lederer, Markus and H{\"o}hne, Chris and Stehle, Fee and Hickmann, Thomas and Fuhr, Harald}, title = {Multilevel climate governance in Brazil and Indonesia}, series = {Climate governance across the globe : Pioneers, leaders and followers}, booktitle = {Climate governance across the globe : Pioneers, leaders and followers}, editor = {Wurzel, R{\"u}diger K.

The chapter focuses especially on the role of multilevel governance in bringing about pioneership and leadership and on the different types of that have emerged. It also explores whether and, if so, to what extent domestic pioneers and leaders attract followers and whether there are signs of sustained domestic leadership. The chapter identifies the actors that constitute pioneers and leaders and assesses the processes which lead to their emergence. The chapter authors take up Wurzel et al.'s (2019) call to open up the black box of the nation-state. But instead of stressing the role of non-state actors, the chapter authors focus on vertical interactions among different governmental levels within nation states. The main argument put forward is that international and transnational processes, incentives, and ideas often trigger the development of domestic pioneership and leadership. Such processes, however, cannot be understood properly if domestic politics and dynamics across governmental levels within the nation-state are not taken into account.}, language = {en} } @article{FuhrLederer2008, author = {Fuhr, Harald and Lederer, Markus}, title = {Emerging modes of governance and climate protection : the Role of green companies in newly industrializing countries}, isbn = {978-81-8450-080-6}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{FuhrLedererSchroeder2007, author = {Fuhr, Harald and Lederer, Markus and Schr{\"o}der, Miriam}, title = {Klimaschutz und Entwicklungspolitik : der Beitrag privater Unternehmen}, isbn = {978-3-8329-3154-4}, year = {2007}, language = {de} } @article{FuhrLederer2009, author = {Fuhr, Harald and Lederer, Markus}, title = {Regieren in der Globalisierung}, isbn = {978-3-16-149743-8}, year = {2009}, language = {de} } @article{FuhrLederer2009, author = {Fuhr, Harald and Lederer, Markus}, title = {Varieties of carbon governance in newly industrializing}, issn = {1070-4965}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @incollection{HoehneFuhrHickmannetal.2018, author = {H{\"o}hne, Chris and Fuhr, Harald and Hickmann, Thomas and Lederer, Markus and Stehle, Fee}, title = {REDD+ and the reconfiguration of public authority in the forest sector}, series = {Global Forest Governance and Climate Change}, booktitle = {Global Forest Governance and Climate Change}, editor = {Nuesiri, Emmanuel O.}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-71945-0}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {203 -- 241}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @article{HeckeFuhrWolfs2021, author = {Hecke, Steven van and Fuhr, Harald and Wolfs, Wouter}, title = {The politics of crisis management by regional and international organizations in fighting against a global pandemic}, series = {International review of administrative sciences : an international journal of comparative public administration}, volume = {87}, journal = {International review of administrative sciences : an international journal of comparative public administration}, number = {3}, publisher = {Sage}, address = {Los Angeles, Calif.

Next to this crisis of multilateralism, the COVID-19 pandemic now seems to question the added value of international organizations for addressing global governance issues more specifically. This article analyses this double challenge that several organizations are facing and compares their ways of managing the crisis by looking at their institutional and political context, their governance structure, and their behaviour during the pandemic until June 2020. More specifically, it will explain the different and fragmented responses of the World Health Organization, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund/World Bank. With the aim of understanding the old and new problems that these international organizations are trying to solve, this article argues that the level of autonomy vis-a-vis the member states is crucial for understanding the politics of crisis management.
Points for practitioners
As intergovernmental bodies, international organizations require authorization by their member states. Since they also need funding for their operations, different degrees of autonomy also matter for reacting to emerging challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The potential for international organizations is limited, though through proactive and bold initiatives, they can seize the opportunity of the crisis and partly overcome institutional and political constraints.}, language = {en} } @article{Fuhr1997, author = {Fuhr, Harald}, title = {Globale Herausforderung, internationale Beziehungen und Entwicklungspolitik : offene Fragen und einige Anregungen}, year = {1997}, language = {de} } @article{Fuhr2012, author = {Fuhr, Harald}, title = {Klimawandel und Entwicklungspolitik}, isbn = {978-3-86956-173-8}, year = {2012}, language = {de} } @article{Fuhr1998, author = {Fuhr, Harald}, title = {Staatsreform und Verwaltungsmodernisierung : zur neuen Rolle des Staates in Lateinamerika = Reforma del Estado y modernizaci{\´o}n administrativa : acerca del nuevo papel del Estado en America Latina}, year = {1998}, language = {de} } @article{Fuhr1998, author = {Fuhr, Harald}, title = {Konstruktiver Globalisierungsdruck? : einige {\"U}berlegungen zu den ver{\"a}nderten Rahmenbedingungen staatlichen Handelns in Entwicklungsl{\"a}ndern}, year = {1998}, language = {de} } @article{Fuhr2013, author = {Fuhr, Harald}, title = {Klimawandel und Entwicklungspolitik}, isbn = {978-3-941880-62-7}, year = {2013}, language = {de} } @book{ChhibberCommanderEvansetal.1997, author = {Chhibber, Ajay and Commander, Simon and Evans, Alison and Fuhr, Harald}, title = {World Development Report 1997 : the state in a changing world}, publisher = {Oxford Uni.
