Both states are already reaping the benefits of networking in science and advanced technologies, in the film and media industries and in the health-care sector. They have strong international appeal and are perceived as one unified region. Berlin and Brandenburg have been working together for some time, not only in business development, but also in many other administrative areas. Together we are a high-growth knowledge and science region with a high quality of life for all its residents. This is largely the result of our mutual efforts in recent years. Now both governments have resolved to implement a model for our next years of co-operation in developing the Capital Region. It was created with broad public participation and will serve as a guideline for everyone grappling with the future challenges facing the Capital Region Berlin-Branden- burg. We know that we can only hold our own in the national and international competition for jobs and investment, for chances for development and the future, by facing them together. This is why we intend to use the respective strengths of both states to combine our forces and to create the future of the Capital Region by involving the people who live there. Historical experience has shown that Berlin cannot be a metropolis without the region. And in this constellation Brandenburg, with its own economic, scientific and cultural development, profits from the strong appeal and internationality of Berlin at its centre. Everyone is invited to make an active contribution to the future of the Capital Region Berlin-Branden- burg. Berlin and Brandenburg: Together we are stronger.

January 2011 Accreditation of the city of Delmenhorst as “Safe Community” within the programme of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Community Safety Promotion Impressum Accreditation of the city of Delmenhorst as “Safe Community” of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Community Safety Promotion Editor: The registered association Infantile Health (GiK e.V.), Delmenhorst City of Delmenhorst Editorial staff: Dr. Johann Böhmann, Dr. Birgit Warwas-Pulina, Andreas Kampe, Stella Buick Contact: Dr. Johann Böhmann, head physician of the paediatric clinic of Delmenhorst, Wildeshauser Str. 92, 27753 Delmenhorst Peter Betten, coordinator of the round table “Injury prevention”, city of Delmenhorst, Service 3 Delmenhorst, January 2011 II Preface Road traffic or household injuries, violence against women, children or dissidents cause damage to each individual and to the community, which cannot be accepted. Therefore prevention is very important in the community of Delmenhorst. The city of Delmenhorst has undertaken the task of avoiding injuries caused by accidents and violence by means of systematic precaution as far as possible. A successful prevention is the precondition for a cross-departmental and systematical approach. The prevention must not only include the reaction to the current occurrences, but must also include a comprehensive and systematic long-term, active strategy. With the report on hand “accreditation of the city of Delmenhorst as safe community” the community of Delmenhorst applies for the acceptance to the international network of the “Safe Communities”. The stakeholders in Delmenhorst would like to learn from the experiences of other countries and they want to provide the international community with their knowledge regarding prevention.

  • Green Growth in Brandenburg: an Analysis of the Regional Growth Core Schönefelder Kreuz
    Green Growth in Brandenburg: An analysis of the Regional Growth Core Schönefelder Kreuz Highlights 2 Green Growth in Brandenburg: An analysis of the regional growth core Schönefelder Kreuz The green transition and its challenges The pressure to decarbonise our economies and production systems is growing, and there is increasing need for policy attention to accelerate the industrial transition required to achieve the levels of emissions reduction required to avoid dangerous climate change. The challenge of the green transition for policy attention is also being matched by other short- and long-term policy challenges. The economic recessions and continuing high levels of unemployment in many OECD member countries are stretching public resources. Demographic trends, such as an ageing popula- tion, are also affecting labour markets over the coming four decades to 2050: • An additional 2 billion people will need to be accommodated, with rising living standards across all countries and a quadrupling of global GDP. • Increasing life expectancy will mean an ageing population for some countries, while for other countries, particularly developing ones, young populations and workforces will be a competitive advantage. • The majority (70%) of people will be living in cities by 2050, offering resource efficiency opportunities but also placing greater emphasis on the need for solutions to air pollution, traffic congestion and the management of water, waste and energy in urban environments. The growth of carbon emissions at the global scale continues, although there is significant regional variation. In Annex 1 to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change countries, annual emissions in 2010 were collectively 3.7% below 1990 levels, with Kyoto Protocol coun- tries collectively at 12.4% below 1990 levels.

  • 1 Co? Was? German-Polish Linguistic Attitudes in Frankfurt (Oder)
    Co? Was ? German-Polish Linguistic Attitudes in Frankfurt (Oder) Megan Clark Senior Linguistics Thesis Bryn Mawr College 2010 In this study I analyze the linguistic attitudes held by Polish and German speakers in the border towns of Frankfurt an der Oder, Germany and Słubice, Poland, held together by a cross-border university. I consider the historical background in the relationship between the two communities, including but not limited to the effect of Germany and Poland’s separate entrances into the European Union and Schengen zone, which have divided the two countries until recently, as well as the adoption of the Euro in both Germany and, later, Poland. With consideration of this history, I explore the concept of linguistic attitudes in other border communities to mark parallels and differences in the attitudes of speakers on each side of the border, most notably different because of the presence of the university on both sides of the dividing river. I supplement this research with a study conducted on speakers themselves within each side of the community to explore the underlying thoughts and ideas behind attitudes toward speakers of the other language, investigating why so many Polish speakers are fluent in German, while only a few German students endeavor to learn Polish. The research we have conducted here explores a very important aspect of language attitudes as a proxy for European geo-political relations as exemplified in the role of Poland as an outlier in the European Union due to its late joining and reluctant acceptance of the Euro. Though student relations on the border are strong, the heart of Słubice remains untouched by German residents, despite full osmosis of Polish citizens into the heart of Frankfurt.

  • Brandenburg-Prussia, 1466-1806: the Rise of a Composite State'
    H-War Sandberg on Friedrich, 'Brandenburg-Prussia, 1466-1806: The Rise of a Composite State' Review published on Tuesday, March 5, 2013 Karin Friedrich. Brandenburg-Prussia, 1466-1806: The Rise of a Composite State. Studies in European History Series. Houndmills: Palgrave Macmillan, 2012. xxiv + 157 pp. $26.00 (paper), ISBN 978-0-230-53565-7. Reviewed by Brian Sandberg (Northern Illinois University) Published on H-War (March, 2013) Commissioned by Margaret Sankey Prussia has long been blamed for the evils of German nationalism, authoritarian government, social militarization, social discipline, and armed aggression. Some historians have claimed that the Prussian “character” ultimately allowed for the rise of fascism in Germany and the horrors of the Holocaust. Karin Friedrich rejects the Sonderweg (particular path) notion of early modern Prussia as progenitor of modern Germany, arguing that this vision emerged only in the early nineteenth century as a byproduct of romantic nationalists’ fascination with the Teutonic Knights and then later became enshrined in German historiography. Friedrich reassesses early modern Prussia by setting it into a broader central European perspective, straddling the divide between western and eastern Europe. Brandenburg-Prussia is part of Palgrave Macmillan’s Studies in European History series, edited by John Breuilly, Julian Jackson, and Peter Wilson. In a compact volume, Friedrich offers a clear presentation of early modern Prussian history, organized around thematic chapters on state building, estate society, monarchy, and diplomacy. These chapters are framed by an introduction, an initial chapter on medieval legacies, and a final chapter on the Enlightenment transitions toward modernity. The book includes a series of maps and a glossary of administrative and legal terms, useful in understanding the complexities of the Prussian composite state and its relationship to the institutions of the Holy Roman Empire.
