This critical review and analyses of the development aid academic and institutional discourse identifies some major shortcomings. The dominance of economics at the expense of politics, and the imposition of development aid neoliberal conditionalities act as barriers to socio-economic development in aid recipient countries. An inference is offered to recast development aid through reconciliation within critical frameworks of different sides of the political spectrum.}, language = {en} } @article{Zhu2017, author = {Zhu, Jinshan}, title = {Assessing China's price review policy on Clean Development Mechanism projects}, series = {European Journal of Law and Economics}, volume = {43}, journal = {European Journal of Law and Economics}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0929-1261}, doi = {10.1007/s10657-016-9550-3}, pages = {285 -- 316}, year = {2017}, abstract = {The Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) allows developed countries to meet part of their obligational emission reductions by carrying out emission reduction projects in developing countries. China imposed a price floor to the CDM carbon credits produced in China through its price review policy. Scholars have not agreed on the purpose of China's price review policy. With a theoretical model and a coherent empirical study, the present study shows that the price floor imposed by China's price review is more likely to protect those domestic project owners against price discrimination, rather than to distort the CDM market. Nevertheless, China's price review has its own flaws. Although a regression study shows month of approval, types of projects and location of project can explain 55\% of price floor designation, the operation of price review remains quite random and unpredictable in individual cases. This would bring extra bureaucratically uncertainty on its way to curb market uncertainty. Its function can be fulfilled by alternative policy tools with better economic efficiency and legal legitimacy, such as mandatory price disclosure and trading forum, which doesn't have such drawback, but still be able to alleviate possible price discrimination in individual cases.}, language = {en} } @article{KailitzWursterTanneberg2017, author = {Kailitz, Steffen and Wurster, Stefan and Tanneberg, Dag}, title = {Autokratische Regimelegitimation und soziale Entwicklung}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r vergleichende Politikwissenschaft : ZfVP}, volume = {11}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r vergleichende Politikwissenschaft : ZfVP}, publisher = {Springer VS}, address = {Wiesbaden}, issn = {1865-2646}, doi = {10.1007/s12286-017-0330-4}, pages = {275 -- 299}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Gibt es einen Zusammenhang zwischen dem sozialen Entwicklungsstand einer Autokratie und ihrem Legitimationsanspruch?

They have shown that various new carbon governance arrangements have emerged, which operate simultaneously at different governmental levels. However, despite the numerous descriptions and mapping exercises of these governance arrangements, we have little systematic knowledge on their workings within national jurisdictions, let alone about their impact on public-administrative systems in developing countries. Therefore, this article opens the black box of the nation-state and explores how and to what extent two different arrangements, that is, Transnational City Networks and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, generate changes in the distribution of public authority in nation-states and their administrations. Building upon conceptual assumptions that the former is likely to lead to more decentralized, and the latter to more centralized policy-making, we provide insights from case studies in Indonesia, South Africa, Brazil, and India. In a nutshell, our analysis underscores that Transnational City Networks strengthen climate-related actions taken by cities without ultimately decentralizing climate policy-making. On the other hand, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation tends to reinforce the competencies of central governments, but apparently does not generate a recentralization of the forestry sector at large.}, language = {en} }
