Wir hoffen, dass viele von Euch den Abend mit uns verbringen und die tolle Atmosphäre in einer völlig umgestalteten Halle genießen. Um Euch Badminton etwas näher zu bringen, gib es erstmal ein wenig Hintergrundinformationen. Danach möchte wir Euch den Deutschen Kader der Nationalmannschaft sowie einige Spieler der niederländischen Nationalmannschaft vorstellen. Bis zum Redaktionsschluss stand die vollständige Aufstellung der Spieler noch nicht fest, so dass die Spannung, wer denn nun nach Camberg kommt, erhalten bleibt. Bundestrainer Poste zu dem Einsatz des Mannschafts-Vizeeuropameister Kai Schäfer: "Wir versuchen immer bei den Länderspielen auch nach regionalen Gesichtspunkten unsere Spieler zu nominieren. Der Einsatz von „local Heroes“ hat sich bisher immer gelohnt. Wir planen daher in Bad Camberg auch mit dem Einsatz von Kai Schäfer vom Bundesligisten Union Lüdinghausen. Er ist seit einigen Jahren einer unserer Spitzenspieler.“ Wir wünschen allen Karteninhaber und die es noch werden wollen, einen wundervollen, spannenden Abend. Badmintonkracher in Bad Camberg Am 3.

  • A CASE STUDY of the LITHUANIAN Ngdos in FOREIGN AID POLICY MAKING
    130 POLITOLOGIJA 2017/3 (87) (Online) ISSN 2424-6034 TOO WEAK TO INFLUENCE? A CASE STUDY OF THE LITHUANIAN NGDOs IN FOREIGN AID POLICY MAKING MARTA GADEIKIENĖ For the East Central European Countries (ECE), the membership in the European Union also meant an entry into the foreign aid donor community. To understand the international development policy change in over a decade and a policy divergence among the ECE countries that have started from relatively similar situations, this article offers the case study of Lithuania and the analysis of domestic policy actors, namely the non­governmental development organizations (NGDOs) as one of the policy change facilitating factors. It provides an empirically­rich account of how Lithuanian NGDOs participate in the national foreign aid policymaking and explains factors that affect Lithuanian NGDOs’ capacity to influence government decisions. Szent­Ivanyi’s and Lightfoot’s theoretical model guided the analysis of the Lithuanian NGDOs umbrella organisations composition and power relations, their organizational capacities, foreign donor assistance and attitudes of the state actors. The article concludes the limited, yet increasing Lithuanian NG- DOs’ role in shaping Lithuanian foreign aid policies, as undermined as they are by the chronic lack of resources to fund advocacy from national sources and the dependency on the EU project­based funding. Consequently, these circumstances constrain the NGDO Platforms’ focus mostly on the EU de- Marta Gadeikienė – lecturer, PhD candidate at Vytautas Magnus University (email: [email protected]). © Marta Gadeikienė, 2017 Straipsnis įteiktas redakcijai 2017 m. kovo 26 d.
