Zur naturschutzrechtlichen Verpflichtung der Verwendung autochthonen Saat- und Pflanzguts bei der Straßenbegleitbegrünung*

Von naturschutzfachlicher Seite wird seit einiger Zeit die Forderung erhoben, dass für Begrünungsmaßnahmen nur noch autochthones Saat- und Pflanzgut eingesetzt werden sollte, weil die Verwendung von Saat- und Pflanzgut aus gebietsfremden Herkünften Risiken für die Erhaltung der genetischen Vielfalt bergen könnte. Der folgende Beitrag zeichnet die Diskussion nach und befasst sich mit den rechtlichen Regelungen zum Schutz der genetischen Vielfalt, insbesondere mit den Anforderungen an die Länder, die sich aus § 41 Abs. 2 Bundesnaturschutzgesetz (BNatSchG) ergeben. * Für wertvolle Anregungen und Kritik danke ich Herrn Dr. Herwig Unnerstall und Herrn Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Köck.

RACIAL–ETHNIC INTOLERANCE AND SUPPORT FOR CAPITAL PUNISHMENT: A CROSS-NATIONAL COMPARISON*

This article tests cross-nationally the minority group threat thesis that public sentiments toward repressive crime-control policies reflect conflicted racial and ethnic relations. Using multiple data sets representing France, Belgium, the Netherlands, East and West Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Denmark, Great Britain, Greece, Spain, Finland, Sweden, Austria, Canada, Ireland, and Portugal, we examine whether racial and ethnic intolerance—animus, resentments, or negative sentiments toward minorities—predicts greater support for the death penalty. Our results reveal that the respondents were significantly more likely to express support for capital punishment if they were racially or ethnically intolerant while controlling for other covariates of public opinion. These findings indicate that the link between support for capital punishment and racial and ethnic animus may occur universally in countries with conflicted racial and ethnic relations.     

Failed States After 9/11: What Did We Know and What Have We Learned?

This paper addresses the relationship between accumulated knowledge and U.S. policy dealing with failed states and terrorism. The central thesis is threefold: (1) that more was known about the possible linkages between failing states and terrorism than appears in pre-9/11 U.S. policies; (2) that since 9/11 some important realignment of knowledge and practice has occurred, but it remains partial and incomplete; and (3) that new knowledge, especially about the policies to sustain and promote legitimate governance, needs to be generated in order to support an effective grand strategy for addressing the threats and challenges of the twenty-first century. The paper recommends such a grand strategy and, in addition to the required new knowledge, a significant reorganization of the U.S. national security policy-making apparatus. International studies curricula appear well suited for contributing to that new knowledge and the practitioners we require.     

"他者"视域下的犹太伦理思想

犹太伦理的核心概念是“他者”,从外延上看,“他者”分3个层次:上帝、同胞、国人;从内涵看,“他者”的本质在于将自身客体化,做“他人的人质”。“他者”与我的关系构成了犹太伦理思想体系的主要内容,也形成了犹太伦理的特点,使它既不同于基督伦理,也有别于儒家伦理。“他者”在场的伦理规范体现为公义、赎罪和慈善。
