  • Germany (1950-2018)
    Germany Self-rule INSTITUTIONAL DEPTH AND POLICY SCOPE Germany has two-tiered regional governance consisting of sixteen Länder and (Land)Kreise. Several Länder have a third tier between these two, Regierungsbezirke (administrative districts). Two Länder have a fourth tier of regional governance, Landschaftsverbände in North-Rhine Westphalia and Bezirksverband Pfalz in Rhineland-Palatinate.1 The 1949 Basic Law of the German Federal Republic granted eleven Länder extensive competences, which include legislative powers for culture, education, universities, broadcasting/television, local government, and the police (C 1949, Art. 74; Council of Europe: Germany 1999; Hrbek 2002; Swenden 2006; Watts 1999a, 2008). Länder also exercise residual competences (C 1949, Art. 70). In addition, the Basic Law states that Länder are responsible for the implementation of most federal laws (C 1949, Arts. 83–85). The federal government may legislate to preserve legal and economic unity with respect to justice, social welfare, civil law, criminal law, labor law, and economic law (C 1949, Art 72.2), and it has authority to establish the legislative framework in higher education, the press, environmental protection, and spatial planning (C 1949, Art. 72.3; Reutter 2006). The federal government exercises sole legislative authority over foreign policy, defense, currency, and public services (C 1949, Art. 73; Council of Europe: Germany 1999; Hrbek 2002; Swenden 2006; Watts 1999a, 2008). It also has exclusive authority over immigration and citizenship (C 1949, Arts. 73.2 and 73.3), though Länder administer inter-Land immigration and have concurrent competence on residence (Bendel and Sturm 2010: 186-187; C 1949, Arts. 74.4 and 74.6).2 However, this is not enough to qualify for the maximum score on policy scope.β The constitutional division of authority was extended to the five new Länder after unification in 1990.

  • Der Oberbergische Kreis Auf Einen Blick (Stand: Dezember 2008)
    Der Oberbergische Kreis auf einen Blick Der dem nördlichen rechtsrheinischen Schiefergebirge zugehörige Oberbergi- sche Kreis ist ein Übergangsgebiet zwischen der Talebene des Rheins und dem sauerländischen Bergland. Das Gummersbacher Bergland in der Kreismit- te bildet den höchsten Teil des Bergischen Landes. Dort sind zugleich die Quellgebiete der Agger und der Wupper. Schwerpunkte verdichteter Siedlung liegen in den industriedurchsetzten Tälern. In seiner derzeitigen Form entstand der Oberbergische Kreis durch die kom- munale Neugliederung zum 1.1.1975. Er zeichnet sich in besonderer Weise durch landschaftlichen Zusammenhang, Einheitlichkeit der Siedlungsstruktur und gemeinsame historische Beziehungen aus. Die aktuellen Berufspendler- verflechtungen weisen den Kreis als eigenständigen Wirtschaftsraum aus. Oberberg ist zwar Teil des hochverdichteten Agglomerationsraumes an Rhein und Ruhr, ist jedoch deutlich anders strukturiert als die ballungskernnahen Kreise. Derzeit weist der Oberbergische Kreis bei einer Fläche von gut 918 Km² rund 286.000 Einwohner auf. Die Industrie ist mittelständisch. Maschinen- und Fahrzeugbau, Edelstahlerzeugung, Stahl- und Leichtmetallbau, Eisen-, Blech- und Metallverarbeitung, Elektrotechnische Industrie und Kunststoffverarbei- tung sind die wichtigsten Branchen. Oberberg ist Bestandteil des Agglomera- tionsraumes Köln. Solche hochverdichteten Wirtschaftsräume sind Kristallisa- tionspunkte für Innovationen. Letzteres kommt u. a. in der Patentdichte (Pa- tentanmeldungen je 100.000 Einwohner) zum Ausdruck.

This dam is part of a group of 5 dams in total (Agger Project fact file and Genkeltalsperre, Stauweiher Bieberstein and Stauweiher Osberghausen). • ERHARD butterfly valves DN1600 It is protected by a designated water protection area of the Cologne regional • Full supply level/maximum administration. water level: 292.84 m asl • Pipe invert: 246.41 m asl Two waterworks on the Wiehl and Genkeltalsperre dams secure the drinking • Bottom outlet pipe: DN1600 mm water supply of an average 500,000 people in the Oberbergischen, Rheinisch • Flow rate Q max. at full supply Bergischen and Rhein-Sieg districts. Around 25 million m³ drinking water are level: 29 m³/s pumped annually. • Max. flow velocity: 14.5 m/s In 2012, almost 40 years after the dam‘s commissioning, the two bottom outlet valves were replaced with new butterfly valves of ERHARD Armaturen. The Wiehltalsperre dam became renowned throughout Germany thanks to a TV advertising campaign for beer by the Krombacher brewery. The two butterfly valves, each weighing approximately 3 tonnes, had to be lowered via the intake tower to a depth of almost 50 m. New butterfly valves for a clean and reliable drinking water supply The Wiehltalsperre dam was put into service in 1973, following a lengthy construction period. 11 villages had to be moved to make room for the construction of the dam.

  • Implementation of Public Sector Reforms: Unravelling the G8-Reform
    Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences (BMS), Implementation of public sector reforms: Unravelling the G8-reform Tania Weber B.Sc. Thesis July 2017 Supervisors: dr. V. Junjan dr. Harry F. de Boer Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences University of Twente P.O. Box 217 7500 AE Enschede The Netherlands Abstract The G8-reform, implemented in German federal states between 2001 and 2007, has caused a considerable ongoing public debate. With this phenomenon, the shortening of secondary academic education from nine to eight years portrays one of the most significant and controversial reforms in the education sector since Germany’s reunification. The most remarkable point about the G8-reform is its development over time, as only some German federal states maintained the reform, whereas the overwhelming majority reverted it partly and one federal state returned to the previous model of nine years. This thesis seeks to explain how these differences came about. After examining the complicated context in which the G8- reform is embedded in, the thesis traces the implementation process of the G8-reform in three federal states according to a set of six determinants of success: the level of complexity of actions, the availability of resources, the existence of correcting measures, the direction of political consequences, the frequency of changes in political leadership and the alignment of stakeholder positions. All determinants except for the level of resources seem to have an impact on the success of the reform and therefore its maintenance or reversion. Table of Contents 1. Introduction 1 1.1. Context 1 1.2.
