Energie- und geopolitische Akteure im Südkaukasus
Andranik Eduard Aslanyan analysiert mit Blick auf Geographie, Geschichte und Interessen die Macht- und Energiepolitiken von Russland, dem Iran, der Türkei, den USA sowie der EU als externe Akteure im Südkaukasus. Es ist eine Region mit dem Strukturmuster von „frozen conflicts“. Die nach dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion hier gegründeten neuen kleinen Staaten versuchen ihre nur schmalen politischen Gestaltungsspielräume zu nutzen, sich aus dem Griff von bloßen Objekten externer Mächte zu lösen, um sich als politisch-selbstbestimmte politische Subjekte zu behaupten.
Konstruktive Konfliktkultur in Karabach
Einleitung Karabach bedeutet im Aserbaidschanischen «schwarzer Garten». Die Auseinandersetzungen um den «schwarzen Garten» verwandelten sich neulich in einen lokalen militärischen Konflikt, der 44 Tage (27.09.2020 – 09.11.2020) dauerte. Der zweite Berg-Karabach Krieg unterscheidet sich erheblich vom ersten (1988-1994). Im ersten Krieg (1991-1994) besetzten die Armenischen Streitkräfte Berg-Karabach und umliegende 7 Aserbaidschanische Gebiete, die zweimal grösser als die Berg-Karabach Autonome Oblast selbst waren. Im zweiten Karabachkrieg verlor Armenien die russische Unterstützung und ging als Verlierer hervor. Es ist der Aserbaidschanischen Republik gelungen, die besetzten 7 Gebie...
Azerbaijan and the EU. Are Azerbaijan's oil and gas more important than European values?

Conflicts, Participation and Acceptability in Nuclear Waste Governance
This book is the last part of a trilogy and concludes a long-term project that focussed on nuclear waste governance in 24 countries. It deals with core themes of the disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW), e.g. the wicked problems of housing nuclear waste disposal facilities, public participation and public discourse, voluntarism and compensation in siting as well as the role of advisory bodies and commissions. The volume reflects on the diverse factors that shape the debate on what can be considered an ”acceptable solution” and on various strategies adopted in order to minimise conflicts and possibly increase acceptability. The various theoretical and empirical contributions shed light on several mechanisms and issues touched upon in these strategies, such as the role of trust, voluntarism, economic interests at stake, compensation, ethics, governance, and participation.
The Technological and Economic Future of Nuclear Power
This open access book discusses the eroding economics of nuclear power for electricity generation as well as technical, legal, and political acceptance issues. The use of nuclear power for electricity generation is still a heavily disputed issue. Aside from technical risks, safety issues, and the unsolved problem of nuclear waste disposal, the economic performance is currently a major barrier. In recent years, the costs have skyrocketed especially in the European countries and North America. At the same time, the costs of alternatives such as photovoltaics and wind power have significantly decreased. Contents History and Current Status of the World Nuclear Industry The Dramatic Decrease of t...
The Ecological Modernization Capacity of Japan and Germany
Cognitive-strategic capabilities of a country are decisive for overcoming the strong path dependence in climate-related policies and to achieve ecological and economic modernization. This is the result of a unique comparison approach focusing on four highly intertwined policy areas (Automobiles, Nuclear Energy, Renewables and Rare Earth) in Japan and Germany. Both countries have in principle sufficient economic, technological and institutional capacities for an ecological transformation, but they are lacking an integrated policy strategy to mobilize and organize the existing capacities in favor of structural changes. The focused four policy areas are analyzed in depth and compared by experts from political science.
Orchestrating Local Climate Policy in the European Union
Can we sidestep tedious climate policy negotiations and forge a coalition of the willing instead? Many international organizations and scholars hope to spur local climate action by orchestration, indirect and voluntary governance arrangements. Lena Bendlin looks beyond the apparent success of voluntary initiatives using the example of the Covenant of Mayors, often heralded as an exemplary multi-level EU initiative. Five in-depth case studies show why, how, and with what difficulties local governments engage in this voluntary commitment scheme. The analysis identifies durability, intensity, and causality as crucial building blocks for more cautious orchestration theorizing and derives recommendations for appropriate incentives and support at the regional, national, and international level.
