Thema des Vortrages:
„Unterschiedliche Wissensformen und die Governance der arktischen Commons“
Aufgrund ihrer Rolle für die Dynamik des Erdsystems wird die Arktis häufig als ein globales Gemeinschaftsgut betrachtet. Jedoch besteht nur wenig Hoffnung auf ein kohärentes internationales Regime zum Schutz der Arktis. Im Gegensatz dazu funktioniert das kollektive Management lokaler Ressourcen überraschend gut. Dafür gibt es verschiedene Gründe: z.B. die Größe und die kulturelle Integration von Institutionen sowie partizipative Verfahren der Regelgestaltung und -durchsetzung. Am Beispiel des traditionellen ökologischen Wissens der indigenen Völker der Arktis und seinem Verhältnis zur modernen Wissenschaft werden die Herausforderungen für die arktischen Governance beleuchtet.
Professor Amitava Dutt
(U. Notre Dame)
Thema des Vortrages:
"Consumption and happiness: microeconomic versus macroeconomic approaches"
A phenomenon observed in many affluent countries, of increasing consumption without significant increases in happiness, broadly defined, has been widely discussed in recent years. Numerous explanations for the phenomena have been offered, which can be classified into microeconomic and macroeconomic ones. The two approaches will be distinguished and compared. It will be argued that although both approaches make interesting contributions, they are both incomplete, and require to be synthesized to obtain a fuller understanding of this important phenomenon.

Thema des Vortrages:
"Measuring outcomes in social care: The Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit (ASCOT)"
Social care services, which include care and support in private households and care homes, are concerned with primarily with compensating for the effects of health states on individuals rather than changes in those health states. The Adult Social Care Outcome Toolkit (ASCOT) provides a variety of techniques to capture the outcomes of such services. The ASCOT measure is intended to provide a utility index that reflects eight domains of social care related quality of life.
