INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR APPLIED SYSTEMS ANALYSIS 2361 Laxenburg, Austria PREFACE This case study was performed in the context of a larger research project at IIASA: the Study on Liquefied Energy Gas Terminal Siting (~un- reuther, Linnerooth, et al, 1982). A comparison of four concrete decision processes in four countries (namely the Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States), is an intrinsic part of this project. All the studies are concerned with siting decisions on major energy gas import or export facilities that were made in the last decade. The comparative evaluation of these case studies seeks, in par- ticular, a greater insight into the way technical studies succeed or fail to influence political decisions. In the FRG the selected decision concerns the siting of an import ter- minal to unload, store, and regasify liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipped in special tankers from distant producing countries. This project was con- ceived around 1970 by German energy companies. Approximately ten years later, in July 1979, the plans for an LNG terminal at Wilhelmshaven had received all the necessary approvals, licenses, and permits for con- struction to be started. The description and analysis of the public decision-making process leading to this approval is the topic of the study presented here. Since the main goal of this research is a deeper under- standing of the events leading up to such a decision, it does not matter that the project has yet to be realized. It would have been impossible to carry out this study without the obliging support of representatives from most of the institutions involved in the decision process under consideration. I wish to express my thanks to all these individuals for giving us their time and providing us with important material and information on the siting process. Furthermore, I am indebted to my colleagues from the Risk Task Group at IIASA, in particular to Joanne Linnerooth and Howard Kun- reuther, who, through numerous discussions, suggestions, and comments contributed substantially to this case study. Among the various persons reviewing the first draft of this report, Volker Ronge played an outstand- ing role by the depth of his theoretical remarks and his familiarity with political decision making in the FRG. Moreover, he participated in a cou- ple of key meetings with representatives from industry. Special thanks also go to Eryl Ley and Derek Delves for smoothing my English, and to Noel Blackwell and Rhonda Starnes who patiently endured numerous revisions in producing this final manuscript. Finally, I wish to acknowledge the continuous active interest in this case study of Werner Salz, of the Bundesministerium fiir Forschung und Technologie (Federal Ministry for Research and Technology), who was responsible for the entire Liquefied Energy Gas study. It is not necessary to mention that this project was made possible only through the Ministry's financial support.

The sensitivity of health and safety issues, the possibility of catastrophic accidents, and uncer- tainty about the long-term consequences of certain industrial activities have resulted in technological risks frequently being at the center of pub- lic debate. As a consequence, the development of methods to assess the effects of technical installations, in particular those relating to health and safety, has become a focus of scientific interest. For more than a decade risk assessment and, more generally, risk research has developed as an independent field of scientific activity (Conrad 1980, Kunreuther 1982). Yet most of this research has been normative in nature. Further research has been devoted to psychological aspects of risk perception, but the reality of societal decision making with regard to risk-prone activities is as yet only poorly understood (Kunreuther and Ley 1982). Clearly, this lack of knowledge limits the effectiveness of prescriptive risk research. The case study presented here attempts to reduce precisely that gap by accounting rather extensively for a concrete decision making process in the FRG. Having stated the descriptive emphasis of this study, we can explain its goals by contrasting the idealized model of decision making that underlies prescriptive analysis with societal reality. Normative decision theory usually assumes a situation where a single decision maker has to make one particular decision on the basis of clear objectives, preferences and framing conditions. Actual public decision making involves a variety of actors with different interests. It is a sequence of partial decisions in a complex institutional setting whose final outcome may be influenced in an unpredictable way by external information, unexpected events, or changes in the societal environment. The decision problem itself is not even well defined but may be changed during the process according to particular parties' interests. These and similar factors are likely to influ- ence the actual use and impact of technical analysis in ways not con- sidered in the idealized normative model of rational decision making. For our purposes it is very important to obtain a better understanding of pre- cisely those relations in order to contribute to an explanation of why cer- tain kinds of technical analysis are preferred to others, or why they do not have the effects promised by their promoters.

  • The German North Sea Ports' Absorption Into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914
    From Unification to Integration: The German North Sea Ports' absorption into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914 Henning Kuhlmann Submitted for the award of Master of Philosophy in History Cardiff University 2016 Summary This thesis concentrates on the economic integration of three principal German North Sea ports – Emden, Bremen and Hamburg – into the Bismarckian nation- state. Prior to the outbreak of the First World War, Emden, Hamburg and Bremen handled a major share of the German Empire’s total overseas trade. However, at the time of the foundation of the Kaiserreich, the cities’ roles within the Empire and the new German nation-state were not yet fully defined. Initially, Hamburg and Bremen insisted upon their traditional role as independent city-states and remained outside the Empire’s customs union. Emden, meanwhile, had welcomed outright annexation by Prussia in 1866. After centuries of economic stagnation, the city had great difficulties competing with Hamburg and Bremen and was hoping for Prussian support. This thesis examines how it was possible to integrate these port cities on an economic and on an underlying level of civic mentalities and local identities. Existing studies have often overlooked the importance that Bismarck attributed to the cultural or indeed the ideological re-alignment of Hamburg and Bremen. Therefore, this study will look at the way the people of Hamburg and Bremen traditionally defined their (liberal) identity and the way this changed during the 1870s and 1880s. It will also investigate the role of the acquisition of colonies during the process of Hamburg and Bremen’s accession. In Hamburg in particular, the agreement to join the customs union had a significant impact on the merchants’ stance on colonialism.

  • INLAND WADER COUNTS &Hyphen; FIRST PROGRESS REPORT
    -20- INLAND WADER COUNTS- FIRST PROGRESSREPORT by OA6Mi]nsfer Count data for 1980 is now quite cc•plete (except for the British Isles) allowing production of a sc•what more cc•prehensive report on the project than that in WSGBulletin No. 31. It is apparent from the map (Fig. 1) that the number of counting sites has increased since 1979. There will be a further increase in 1981, especially in France and the Netherlands. The information about the locations and numbers of the British sites have not yet reached the BiologischeStation in M•nster. The organisational work for the Inland Wader Counts has been improved for 1981 by finding two additional national coordinators: in France all data forms, questions etc. should be directed to Alain Sauvage, 14 Porte de Bourgogne, 08000Charleville-Mezi•res, France; in the Netherlandsto Arendv. Dijk, Ootmandijk1, 7975 PRUffelte, The Netherlands. 1980 was the first year in which counts were made throughout most of the period when wader migration occurred inland. However, the data can not yet yield any representative results, the period of counting being still much too short. The purpose of this paper is to give an impression of the differences which might exist between the migration patterns of waders at different sites. As examples several frequency patterns of Ruff Philc•achus pugnax, Wood Sandpiper Tringa glareola and Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa at different sites are given, and the species cc•munities at a number of sites with different habitats are s•hown. Frequency patterns The sites chosen for analysis usually held enough waders to produce "reasonable" frequency patterns for the given species for one year.

  • Long Term Regional Disparities [PDF, 53
    BASIC STRUCTURES IN EUROPE AND GERMANY – LONG TERM REGIONAL DISPARITIES Professor Lothar EICHHORN Statistical Office of Lower Saxony, Germany Summary A. The Statistical Office of Lower Saxony has, since 1998, been calculating, on an annual basis, poverty and wealth rates in the Bundesland of Lower Saxony on the basis of the microcensus, whereby net equivalent incomes are calculated using graded income data for various types of household. The threshold values for poverty and wealth have, since 1998, been 50% and 200% respectively of the net equivalent income. However, there has always been a need for more detailed regional data, as Lower Saxony (a NUTS I region) covers a very varied territory, ranging from dynamically growing areas in the west to areas with shrinking economies in the south and east. There are very wealthy areas, mainly around the big cities, and – at least by German standards – rather poor ones. For this reason, the last calculation, for 2004, was also carried out for the 11 regional conversion strata in the Land microcensus – these are larger regions or combinations of several smaller NUTS III regions. The question arose as to which average to use for calculating the poverty threshold. The average income in Germany, in Lower Saxony or in the region in question? This is important, since there are considerable regional income disparities, as the following table shows. In the table, the poverty rate is calculated on the basis of the relevant regional ("regional concept") or national ("national concept") average income. Ostfriesland Lower Saxony Germany Net equivalent 1032 € 1145 € 1150 € income 2004 Poverty rate 12.7 % 14.5 % 14.5 % "regional concept" Poverty rate "national 19.0 % 14.7 % 14.5 % concept" If the poverty rate in Ostfriesland is calculated using the regional average, it is the lowest in Lower Saxony, but if it is calculated on the basis of the German average income, it is the highest in Lower Saxony.
