Am Beispiel der Grünen-Gentechnik-Debatte zeigt Birgit Freitag die Macht der Sprache bei der Wissensherstellung über einen umstrittenen Sachverhalt auf. Sie beschreibt die von den Akteuren verfolgten Strategien, um deren Position im Diskurs durchzusetzen, und verdeutlicht damit, dass nicht nur das Wissen, das ein Akteur über einen umstrittenen Sachverhalt weitergibt, sondern auch ganz besonders die Art und Weise der Vermittlung einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf das über diesen Sachverhalt entstehende Wissen hat.   Der Inhalt •                  Sprachwissenschaftliche Analyse von fachexternen Texten und Medientexten über Grüne Gentechnik •                  Handlungsstrategien der Diskursakteure im Kampf um Wissen •                  Experten-Laien-Kommunikation •                  Linguistische Diskursanalyse   Die Zielgruppen •                  Dozierende und Studierende der Germanistik, Soziologie, Biologie, Sprachwissenschaft, Politik •                  BiologInnen, PolitikerInnen, ExpertInnen in Industrie und Kirche     Die Autorin Birgit Freitag ist seit Abschluss ihrer Promotion an der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg als Führungskraft in der freien Wirtschaft tätig.

This approach was also at work when another planet-threatening event-ozone depletion-was reversed.In Green in Gridlock, Paul Walden Hansen, the former head of the Izaak Walton League, takes stock of what has been accomplished and what has been squandered in the many environmental contests in which he was involve

This book examines the political response to current environmental concerns in the context of the British Isles. How have the issues been assimilated by political parties? Which ones have been given priority? Who are the main actors and what is the role of ecologists?Answers to questions such as these are provided in this collective work, not only through valuable insights into the theories and concepts found in political ecology, but also with specific examination of present political debates, such as the Liberal Democrats' stance, the question of nuclear energy or the salient issue of climate

Developing growth strategies that promote greener lifestyles requires a good understanding of the factors that affect people's behaviour towards the environment. Recent OECD work based on periodic surveys of more than 10 000 households across a number of countries and areas represents a breakthrough by providing a common framework to collect unique empirical evidence for better policy design This publication presents a data overview of the most recent round of the survey implemented in five areas (energy, food, transport, waste, and water) and 11 countries: Australia, Canada, Chile, France, Israel, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. The new survey confirms the importance of providing the right economic incentives for influencing our decisions. The findings indicate that "soft" measures such as labeling and public information campaigns also have a significant complementary role to play. Spurring desirable behaviour change requires a mix of these instruments.
