Im Prozess der Promotion konnte ich in vielerlei Hinsicht von seiner Beratung im fachlichen wie sprachlichen profitieren. Ein besonderer Dank gilt auch Herrn Professor Maximilian Mayer. Ich kann mich noch an die Tage und Nächte erinnern, in denen wir nicht nur über den Inhalt dieser Dissertation, sondern auch über europäische Politik, China und die Beziehungen zwischen Technologie, Gesellschaft und Mensch diskutierten. Weiter danke ich Herrn Professor Tilman Mayer für die einwandfreie Organisation und Leitung des Prüfungsausschusses, der mir maßgebliche Ratschläge für die Dissertation geben konnte. Dabei bin ich auch Herrn Professor Christoph Antweiler für seine Teilnahme am Prüfungsaus- schuss dankbar. Er konnte wertvolle Fragen aufwerfen, die einen besonderen Mehrwert für meine Forschung dargestellt haben. Ein besonderer Dank geht auch an Herrn Tim Wenniges und die Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, die mich vor allem auch in den schwierigen Phasen meiner Dissertation unterstützten.
