Festschrift für Dr. Christiane Büchner in Würdigung ihres Wirkens am Kommunalwissenschaftlichen Institut (1994–2022)

Diese eher ungewöhnliche, aber sehr persönlich gehaltene Festschrift ist dem lang­jährigen Wirken von Dr. Christiane Büchner als „Geschäftsführerin“ am Kommunal­wissenschaftlichen Institut (KWI) der Universität Potsdam gewidmet. Die von Prof. Jochen Franzke zusammengestellte und herausgegebene Publikation enthält im ersten Teil neben dem Grußwort des Geschäftsführenden Direktors des KWI Herrn Prof. Thorsten Ingo Schmidt eine Reihe persönlicher Würdigungen von Kolleginnen und Kollegen, Gastwissenschaftlern und Mitarbeitenden, die seit 1994 in verschiedenen Phasen der Entwicklung des KWIs mit Dr. Christiane Büchner eng zusammengearbeitet haben. Der abschließende Dokumentationsteil der Publikation enthält neben Auszügen aus dem Schriftenverzeichnis von Dr. Christiane Büchner auch zwei Nachdrucke aus deren Feder zum Thema der Kreisgebietsreform in Brandenburg (von 2001) sowie über den Landkreis Barnim (von 2019).

Zwischen Demokratie und Autoritarismus

Die nach dem Zerfall der Sowjetunion allerorten wahrnehmbare Euphorie vom ›Ende der Geschichte‹ unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Demokratisierung postsozialistischer autoritärer Regime ist heute, drei Dekaden später, in der vergleichenden sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung einer Ernüchterung gewichen. Woran liegt es, dass, trotz des erhofften globalen Siegeszugs der Demokratie, die Transformationsprozesse in einigen Regionen auf der Strecke blieben und sich eine Reautoritarisierung, bzw. eine Renaissance der autoritären Regime beobachten lässt? Gründe für divergierende Entwicklungsdynamiken liefert dieser Band, der mit dem Baltikum und dem Südkaukasus zwei Regionen in den Fokus rückt, die sich nach 1991 völlig unterschiedlich entwickelt haben.

Increasing interest in lightweight and high-performance materials is leading to significant research activity in the area of polymers and composites. One recent focus is to develop multifunctional materials that have more than one property tailored as to the specified design requirements, in addition to achieving low density. The possibility of simultaneously tailoring several desired properties is attractive but very challenging, and it requires significant advancement in the science and technology of high-performance functional polymers and composites. This volume presents a selection of new approaches in the field of composites and nanomaterials, polymer synthesis and applications, and materials and their properties. Some composites/nanocomposites and interfaces are explored as well, some with medical applications. The authors also look at simulations and modeling, synthesis involving photochemistry, self-assembled hydrogels, and sol-gel processing.
