Long description: 1955 veröffentlichten Bertrand Russell und Albert Einstein das »Russell-Einstein- Manifest«. Es forderte ultimativ ein neues Denken, um künftig Kriege als Mittel der Politik und Instrument der Konfliktlösung rigoros zu verbannen, und legte den Grundstein für die internationalen Pugwash-Konferenzen. 50 Jahre später, anlässlich des Einsteinjahres 2005 und auf Anstoß des Einstein Forums, verfassten Hans-Peter Dürr, Daniel Dahm und Rudolf zur Lippe das Potsdamer Manifest und dessen »Mutter« die Potsdamer Denkschrift. 2005 wurden diese erstmals von der Vereinigung Deutscher Wissenschaftler VDW publiziert. Ein Brückenschlag zwischen Quantenphysik, Ökologie und Philosophie zeigt Vielfalt, Unterschiedlichkeit und Wandel als genuin in unserer lebendigen Welt, unverzichtbar für unsere Evolution. Kreativität, Differenz wie Verbundenheit sind ureigenste Charakteristika des Lebendigen. Die Zukunft ist offen. Über 130 renommierte Wissenschaftler*innen und Persönlichkeiten aus aller Welt unterzeichneten das Potsdam-Manifesto und die Potsdam-Denkschrift. Zu ihnen zählen Vandana Shiva, Hazel Henderson, Jacob von Uexküll, Bianca Jagger, Ibrahim Abouleish, Naika Foroutan, Günter Altner, Christine von Weizsäcker, Hartmut Graßl, Hunter Lovins, Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, Grazia Borrini-Feyerabend, Wolfgang Sachs, Horst-Eberhard Richter, Angie Zelter, Samuel S. Epstein, Manfred Max-Neef, Klaus Michael Meyer-Abich, Klaus von Klitzing, S. M. Mohamed Idris, David Krieger, Johannes Vogel u. v. a. Potsdamer Denkschrift und Manifest bildeten einen Meilenstein für die Debatte zu Lebendigkeit und ganzheitlichem ökologischen Denken; sie sind heute aktueller denn je. Eine grundlegende zivilisatorische Wende hin zu einem neuen, verbundenen Denken ist nötig, um die klimaökologische Krise zu überwinden und eine gerechte, lebensdienliche Zukunft zu ermöglichen.

This paper assesses the effectiveness of foreign aid in reducing poverty through its impact on human development indicators. We use a dataset of both bilateral aid and NGO aid flows. Our results show that NGO aid reduces infant mortality and does so more effectively than official bilateral aid. The impact on illiteracy is less significant. We also test whether foreign aid reduces government efforts in achieving developmental goals and find mixed evidence of a substitution effect.

Tracing the boom of local NGOs since the 1990s in the context of the global political economy of aid, current trends of neoliberal state restructuring, and shifting post-Cold War hegemonies, this book explores the “associational revolution” in post-socialist, post-conflict Serbia. Looking into the country’s “transition” through a global and relational analytical prism, the ethnography unpacks the various forms of dispossession and inequality entailed in the democracy-promotion project.

"This book examines the central role media and communication play in the activities of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) around the globe, how NGOs communicate with key publics, engage stakeholders, target political actors, enable input from civil society, and create participatory opportunities. An international line-up of authors first discuss communication practices, strategies, and media uses by NGOs, providing insights into the specifics of NGO programs for social change goals and reveal particular sets of tactics NGOs commonly employ. The book then presents a set of case studies of NGO organizing from all over the world-ranging from Sudan via Brazil to China - to illustrate the particular contexts that make NGO advocacy necessary, while also highlighting successful initiatives to illuminate the important spaces NGOs occupy in civil society. This comprehensive and wide-ranging exploration of global NGO communication will be of great interest to scholars across communication studies, media studies, public relations, organizational studies, political science, and development studies, while offering accessible pieces for practitioners and organizers"--
