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 presents a dynamic game of strategic delegation between a principal and an agent. The principal can choose between two organizational designs: a traditional hierarchy where she retains authority over the choice of projects to be implemented or a delegation where she allows her agent to select the project. The key objectives of this model are to identify the long-run determinants of the principal’s choice and verify the impact of the authority allocation on the agent’s effort levels and on the principal’s payoffs. We apply the model to the relationships between institutional donors and nongovernmental organizations.

This paper studies the aid allocation of European nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Once population is controlled for, poverty consistently appears as the main worldwide determinant of NGO aid allocation. NGOs do not respond to strategic considerations. Their funding source does not seem to exert a great influence on their aid allocation decision. We also find differences across regions. Militarization and the political nature of the regime of the recipient country affect aid allocation in the Middle East. Life expectancy influences aid allocation in countries in the Western Hemisphere and the Middle East.
