Diese Open-Access-Publikation untersucht die Akzeptanz der
sächsischen Bevölkerung gegenüber Energie- und Rohstoffvorhaben
sowie die Eignung von Kommunikationsmaßnahmen zur Verbesserung des
Akzeptanzniveaus. Die Bürger:innen werden erstmals repräsentativ
zu ihrer (In-)Akzeptanz gegenüber Anlagearten befragt. Dabei wird
nachgewiesen, dass die Akzeptanz bei lokalen Projekten immer
geringer ist als soziopolitisch. Bei den erneuerbaren
Energieumwandlungsanlagen ist die Akzeptanz gegenüber Wasserkraft-
und Solaranlagen am höchsten, gegenüber Biomasseanlagen am
geringsten. Fossile Energieumwandlungsanlagen sind weniger
akzeptiert und Tage- und Untertagebaue werden am schlechtesten
bewertet. Eine vergleichende Befragung der
Unternehmensvertreter:innen des Energie- und Rohstoffsektors ergibt
eine Dissonanz der von ihnen angenommenen zur erfassten
(In-)Akzeptanz der Bevölkerung: Das Akzeptanzniveau ist
unabhängig von der Art des Vorhabens geringer, als es die
Unternehmensvertreter:innen annehmen. Die Erkenntnisse werden
genutzt, um eine Webapplikation zu entwickeln, die es insbesondere
kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen ermöglicht, zur
Akzeptanzsteigerung geeignete Kommunikationsmaßnahmen
auszuwählen.
Stefanie Walter examines the visibility of European Union citizens
in the mass mediated European public sphere and argues that it can
help facilitate an exchange between decision-makers and ordinary
citizens. The results show that in comparison to other actor
groups, such as political parties or civil society organisations,
the visibility of European Union citizens is not marginal. Yet, the
image of the European Union citizenry that becomes visible via the
news media remains nationally entrenched and references to a truly
European citizenry are rare. The study also uses multilevel
regressions to explain the visibility of European Union citizens in
the news coverage. The empirical analyses are based on a
large-scale content analysis of TV news and newspaper articles of
the 2009 European Parliament election.p>

resolve? Why was it resolved in a manner in which some countries
bore a much larger share of the pain than other countries? Why did
no country leave the Eurozone rather than implement unprecedented
austerity? Who supported and opposed the different policy options
in the crisis domestically, and how did the distributive struggles
among these groups shape crisis politics? Building on macro-level
statistical data, original survey data from interest groups, and
qualitative comparative case studies, this book argues and shows
that the answers to these questions revolve around distributive
struggles about how the costs of the Eurozone crisis should be
divided among countries, and within countries, among different
socioeconomic groups. Together with divergent but strongly held
ideas about the 'right way' to conduct economic policy and
asymmetries in the distribution of power among actors, severe
distributive concerns of important actors lie at the root of the
difficulties of resolving the Eurozone crisis as well as the
difficulties to substantially reform EMU. The book provides new
insights into the politics of the Eurozone crisis by emphasizing
three perspectives that have received scant attention in existing
research: a comparative perspective on the Eurozone crisis by
systematically comparing it to previous financial crises, an
analysis of the whole range of policy options, including the ones
not chosen, and a unified framework that examines crisis politics
not just in deficit-debtor, but also in surplus-creditor countries.
When are policy makers willing to make costly adjustments to their
macroeconomic policies to mitigate balance-of-payments problems?
Which types of adjustment strategies do they choose? Under what
circumstances do they delay reform, and when are such delays likely
to result in financial crises? To answer these questions, this book
examines how macroeconomic policy adjustments affect individual
voters in financially open economies and argues that the
anticipation of these distributional effects influences policy
makers' decisions about the timing and the type of reform.
Empirically, the book combines analyses of cross-national survey
data of voters' and firms' policy evaluations with comparative case
studies of national policy responses to the Asian financial crisis
of 1997/8 and the recent global financial crisis in Eastern Europe.
The book shows that variation in policy makers' willingness to
implement reform can be traced back to differences in the
vulnerability profiles of their countries' electorates.
