We can no longer go on with a system that just maximises private profit without consideration for its effects. Instead we have to conciously plan how to change to a fossil fuel free society. The need is urgent. The transformation will be vast. Nothing similar has been done in the West since the days of wartime mobilisation. This book explains the basic science of climate change before looking at the transformations needed to our energy and basic industries. It looks at the previous successful history of deliberate planning practiced in the UK from 1939 to the 1960s and how, using modern computing techniques it will be possible to organise resources so as to effect the change.}, language = {en} } @article{DrekeHungerlandStoelting2022, author = {Dreke, Claudia and Hungerland, Beatrice and St{\"o}lting, Erhard}, title = {Einleitung}, series = {Kindheit in gesellschaftlichen Umbr{\"u}chen}, journal = {Kindheit in gesellschaftlichen Umbr{\"u}chen}, publisher = {Beltz}, address = {Weinheim}, isbn = {978-3-7799-5831-4}, pages = {9 -- 40}, year = {2022}, language = {de} } @article{DrekeHungerlandStoelting2022, author = {Dreke, Claudia and Hungerland, Beatrice and St{\"o}lting, Erhard}, title = {Ausblick}, series = {Kindheit in gesellschaftlichen Umbr{\"u}chen}, journal = {Kindheit in gesellschaftlichen Umbr{\"u}chen}, publisher = {Beltz}, address = {Weinheim}, isbn = {978-3-7799-6508-4}, pages = {253 -- 258}, year = {2022}, language = {de} } @article{KazepovVerwiebe2022, author = {Kazepov, Yuri and Verwiebe, Roland}, title = {Is Vienna still a just city?}, series = {Vienna}, journal = {Vienna}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-0-367-68011-4}, doi = {10.4324/9781003133827-1}, pages = {1 -- 14}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @article{RiedererVerwiebeAhn2022, author = {Riederer, Bernhard Edwin and Verwiebe, Roland and Ahn, Byeongsun}, title = {Professionalisation, polarisation or both?}, series = {Vienna}, journal = {Vienna}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-0-367-68011-4}, doi = {10.4324/9781003133827-10}, pages = {99 -- 114}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @article{Paasch2022, author = {Paasch, Jana}, title = {Revisiting policy preferences and capacities in the EU}, series = {Journal of common market studies : JCMS}, volume = {60}, journal = {Journal of common market studies : JCMS}, number = {3}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0021-9886}, doi = {10.1111/jcms.13286}, pages = {783 -- 800}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Research on multi-level implementation of EU legislation has almost exclusively focused on the national level, while little is known about the role of subnational authorities.

I address this research gap and take a closer look at the legal transposition process in the German regional states. Using a novel data set comprising detailed information on about 700 subnational measures, I show that state-level variables, such as political preferences and ministerial resources, account for variation in the timing of legal transposition and repeatedly lead to subnational delay. To conclude, the paper addresses the role of subnational authorities in the EU multi-level system and points to their interest in shaping legal transposition in order to counterbalance their loss of competences to the national level.}, language = {en} } @article{DanielsenFleischer2022, author = {Danielsen, Ole Andreas and Fleischer, Julia}, title = {The effects of political design and organizational dynamics on structural disaggregation and integration in Norway 1947-2019}, series = {Governance : an international journal of policy and administration}, volume = {36}, journal = {Governance : an international journal of policy and administration}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {1468-0491}, doi = {10.1111/gove.12669}, pages = {299 -- 320}, year = {2022}, abstract = {In countries with long-standing agency traditions, the creation of new agencies rarely comes as a large-scale reform but rather as one structural choice of many possible, most notably a ministerial division.

The article utilizes data on organizational creations in the Norwegian central state between 1947 and 2019, in order to explore how political design and organizational dynamics help us understand the creation of agencies relative to ministry divisions over time.

To answer this question, we compared different dictionary and scaling methods used in predicting the sentiment of German literature reviews to the "gold standard " of human-coded sentiments. Literature reviews constitute a challenging text corpus for computational analysis as they not only contain different text levels-for example, a summary of the work and the reviewer's appraisal-but are also characterized by subtle and ambiguous language elements. To take the nuanced sentiments of literature reviews into account, we worked with a metric rather than a dichotomous scale for sentiment analysis. The results of our analyses show that the predicted sentiments of prefabricated dictionaries, which are computationally efficient and require minimal adaption, have a low to medium correlation with the human-coded sentiments (r between 0.32 and 0.39). The accuracy of self-created dictionaries using word embeddings (both pre-trained and self-trained) was considerably lower (r between 0.10 and 0.28). Given the high coding intensity and contingency on seed selection as well as the degree of data pre-processing of word embeddings that we found with our data, we would not recommend them for complex texts without further adaptation. While fully automated approaches appear not to work in accurately predicting text sentiments with complex texts such as ours, we found relatively high correlations with a semiautomated approach (r of around 0.6)-which, however, requires intensive human coding efforts for the training dataset. In addition to illustrating the benefits and limits of computational approaches in analyzing complex text corpora and the potential of metric rather than binary scales of text sentiment, we also provide a practical guide for researchers to select an appropriate method and degree of pre-processing when working with complex texts.}, language = {en} } @article{LilliestamPattBersalli2022, author = {Lilliestam, Johan and Patt, Anthony and Bersalli, Germ{\´a}n}, title = {On the quality of emission reductions}, series = {Environmental and Resource Economics}, volume = {83}, journal = {Environmental and Resource Economics}, number = {3}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Dordrecht}, issn = {0924-6460}, doi = {10.1007/s10640-022-00708-8}, pages = {733 -- 758}, year = {2022}, abstract = {To meet the Paris Agreement targets, carbon emissions from the energy system must be eliminated by mid-century, implying vast investment and systemic change challenges ahead.

In response, van den Bergh and Savin (2021) criticised our review in an article in this journal, claiming that it is "unfair", incomplete and flawed in various ways. Here, we respond to this critique by elaborating on the conceptual roots of our argumentation based on the importance of short-term emission reductions and longer-term technological change, and by expanding the review. This verifies our original findings: existing carbon pricing schemes have sometimes reduced emissions, mainly through switching to lower-carbon fossil fuels and efficiency increases, and have triggered weak innovation increases. There is no evidence that carbon pricing systems have triggered zero-carbon investments, and scarce but consistent evidence that they have not. Our findings highlight the importance of adapting and improving climate policy assessment metrics beyond short-term emissions by also assessing the quality of emission reductions and the progress of underlying technological change.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Juchler2022, author = {Juchler, Ingo}, title = {„…die im Dunkeln sieht man nicht"}, series = {Standortbestimmung Politische Bildung}, booktitle = {Standortbestimmung Politische Bildung}, publisher = {Wochenschau Wissenschaft}, address = {Frankfurt am Main}, isbn = {978-3-7344-1352-0}, doi = {10.46499/1900}, pages = {163 -- 175}, year = {2022}, language = {de} } @incollection{Ganghof2022, author = {Ganghof, Steffen}, title = {Typen von Forschungsdesigns}, series = {Forschungsstrategien in den Sozialwissenschaften}, booktitle = {Forschungsstrategien in den Sozialwissenschaften}, editor = {Tausendpfund, Markus}, publisher = {Springer VS}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-658-36971-2}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-658-36972-9_11}, pages = {257 -- 286}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Sozialwissenschaftliche Forschungsdesigns umfassen alle wesentlichen Entscheidungen, die im Forschungsprozess getroffen werden m{\"u}ssen.

We suggest that conflictual voting behavior affects voters through two mechanisms: as a signal of opposition valence and as means of ideological differentiation from the government. We present both aggregate- and individual-level analyses, leveraging a dataset of 169 party observations from 10 democracies and linking it to the CSES survey data of 27,371 respondents.

Key explanations include electoral competition and the post-term fate of previous post holders. What we do not know yet is how compliance with term limits may be tied to the current president's expectations for their post-term fate. In particular, we do not know whether leaders who attempt to remove term limits and fail to do so jeopardize their post-term career as a result, and conversely, whether leaders who comply will have better outcomes in terms of security, prestige, and economic gain. Hence, we ask how the decision of a leader to comply or not comply with term limits is conditioned by the expectation of their post-term fate.

The book starts with a new conceptualization of legitimacy crisis that looks at public challenges from a variety of actors. Based on this conceptualization, it applies a mixed-methods approach to identify and examine legitimacy crises, starting with a quantitative analysis of mass media data on challenges of a sample of 32 IOs. It shows that some, but not all organizations have experienced legitimacy crises, spread over several decades from 1985 to 2020. Following this, the book presents a qualitative study to further examine legitimacy crises of two selected case studies: the WTO and the UNFCCC. Whereas earlier research assumed that legitimacy crises have negative consequences, the book introduces a theoretical framework that privileges the activation inherent in a legitimacy crisis. It holds that this activation may not only harm an IO, but could also strengthen it, in terms of its material, institutional, and decision-making capacity. The following statistical analysis shows that whether a crisis has predominantly negative or positive effects depends on a variety of factors. These include the specific audience whose challenges define a certain crisis, and several institutional properties of the targeted organization. The ensuing in-depth analysis of the WTO and the UNFCCC further reveals how legitimacy crises and both positive and negative consequences are interlinked, and that effects of crises are sometimes even visible beyond the organizational borders.}, language = {en} } @article{Juchler2022, author = {Juchler, Ingo}, title = {Mit narrativen Medien lernen}, series = {Handbuch politische Bildung}, journal = {Handbuch politische Bildung}, edition = {5., vollst{\"a}ndig {\"u}berarbeitete}, publisher = {Wochenschau Verlag}, address = {Frankfurt am Main}, isbn = {978-3-7344-1362-9}, issn = {1435-7526}, pages = {476 -- 483}, year = {2022}, language = {de} } @article{HaenelSchuppert2022, author = {H{\"a}nel, Hilkje Charlotte and Schuppert, Fabian}, title = {Einleitung zu Serene Khaders "Decolonizing universalism: transnational feminist ethic"}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r praktische Philosophie}, volume = {9}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r praktische Philosophie}, number = {1}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Salzburg, Zentrum f{\"u}r Ethik und Armutsforschung}, address = {Salzburg}, issn = {2409-9961}, doi = {10.22613/zfpp/9.1.12}, pages = {305 -- 314}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Serene Khader ist eine der wenigen feministischen Philosoph:innen in der anglos{\"a}chsischen Philosophie, die sich gezielt mit globaler Ungerechtigkeit und Imperialismus aus Sicht jener Frauen besch{\"a}ftigen, die von kolonialer und kultureller Herrschaft betroffen sind.
