German Foreign Economic Policy in the Tension Field of East and West by Thomas Bernhardt Pdf

Nord Stream – a gas pipeline project situated in the Baltic Sea – has repeatedly attracted attention in public and political arena in recent years. The pipeline brings Russian gas directly to Germany and avoids transit states. The project was initiated by Chancellor Schröder and President Putin as well as several German and Russian energy companies in 2005. Two tubes have been operational since 2011 (Nord Stream 1). Two further tubes (Nord Stream 2) are now added, for which planning started in 2015 and completion is scheduled for 2019. The economic rationale of the pipeline is to reduce transportation costs, create capacities and avoid dependencies on transit states. This project is under intense debate for economic, political and security matters, whereby European and US stakeholders are participating in the discussion. At a time when the post-World War II order has come to an end and alliances are being reshaped, Nord Stream 2 evokes a fundamental international relations question: Has the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project divided Germany from its traditional partners and allies in its Russia policy in the long term? This dissertation discusses and illustrates the considerable foreign policy impact of the Nord Stream 2 project on Germany’s international relations in above context and offers possible policy routes forward.

German Foreign Policy Since Unification by Volker Rittberger Pdf

This book examines the extent to which German foreign policy has changed since unification, and analyzes the fundamental reasons behind this change. The book has three main aims. The essays develop theories of foreign policy to predict and explain Germany's foreign policy behavior. They test competing predictions about German foreign policy behavior since unification in several issue areas. They also assess the much-debated question as to whether post-unification Germany's foreign policy is marked by continuity or change.

Information Asymmetries in Equity Crowdfunding by Simon Kleinert Pdf

Digital fundraising platforms diffused all over the globe and enabled entrepreneurs to exploit opportunities for which traditional financing is not yet available. While several new financing alternatives emerged, equity crowdfunding is the preferred choice for entrepreneurs with particularly innovative business models, high capital needs and growth aspirations. Although of great potential for entrepreneurs, equity crowdfunding involves severe information asymmetries because amateur funders with little investment experience invest in risky new ventures. Resolving this kind of asymmetric information is not only a condition for the success of entrepreneurial funding campaigns but also the durability of equity crowdfunding markets at all. This doctoral thesis comprises three scientific studies that shed light on information asymmetries in equity crowdfunding, its consequences, and solutions. The first study uses a mixed-method approach and explores 574 discussions that were initiated by investors to communicate with their peers and the entrepreneurs. The second study draws on a dataset of 221 funding campaigns and provides evidence for a strong signaling effect of prior financing that is of particular relevance for uncertain and less developed companies. Based on a cross-platform panel dataset of 13,531 funding days and a conjoint experiment with 127 amateur investors, the third study examines the relationship between information asymmetries and herd behavior. The results of the three empirical investigations contribute to an emerging research field and provide practical implications for entrepreneurs, platform providers, and policy makers.

Stakeholder Support and Collaboration in Entrepreneurial Ecosystems by Anne Kathrin Bischoff Pdf

This thesis examines stakeholder relationships in entrepreneurial ecosystems by focusing on the importance of sustainability, education and culture in this context. A three-staged research approach on the topic is employed. First, based on a systematic literature review the relevance of stakeholder theory for the creation of sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems that encourage sustainable entrepreneurship is examined as conceptual approach. Second, a qualitative empirical stance is used to investigate stakeholder involvement from the entrepreneurial ecosystem at 20 higher educational institutions in 19 European countries with regard to entrepreneurship education. Third, comparative, quantitative empirical research is conducted to identify cross-cultural and stakeholder-related factors that determine the perceived strength of the sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems in Austria and Germany. The findings of this thesis indicate that stakeholder theory, sustainability, education and culture all matter for developing strong entrepreneurial ecosystems. These results can be of interest for policy makers, entrepreneurship educaters, entrepreneurs and other entrepreneurial stakeholders, who aim at strengthening regional entrepreneurial ecosystems.

Economic Aspects of German Unification by Paul J.J. Welfens Pdf

German unification is changing central Europe, the EC and international economic and political relations. Prosperous West Germany with its "social market economy" has absorbed the socialist GDR which is facing a complex systemic tranformation process. This volume analyzes the causes, developments, and processes that are associated with German unification. The merger of the two Germanies provides a unique laboratory like example of institutional and economic changes against which established economic theoreis and economic policy concepts can be tested. German unification raises, of course, many new questions for Grmany itself, Europe, and the whole international community. Will the enlarged Germany become a new economic giant in Europe and can the FRG maintain stability and prosperity? What macroeconomic and structural problems are faced by the new Germany and what are the effects for trade, investment, and growth in Germany`s partner countries? Will East Germany catch up with the West and can this process serve as a model forEastern Europe? What are the views of Poland and the USSR, and what implications arise for Western Europe and the United States? Finally, how isthe triangular relationship between the U.S., the EC, and Japan affected, and how does this affect the United States` ability to organize economic cooperation with Japan, Germany, and other leading economies?

The Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in the Global Economy by Marie Lavigne Pdf

The Soviet Union and Eastern Europe are moving away from a centrally planned economy toward integration within the global economy. How did this transition begin? Is this an aim which all the countries can afford? What conditions are to be met so that the countries will achieve a level of development comparable with the average level of their industrial partners? In this 1992 volume, leading international political economists from both the East and West provide an in-depth analysis of these questions. The contributors assess how the transition to the market requires liberalizing foreign trade, introducing convertibility, and transforming property structures, all of which are also part of the ongoing domestic reform. They also examine how these countries overcome their development lag and implement a restructuring policy.
