Da international vergleichende Studien trotz zunehmender Einigkeit über die Bedeutung von Humankapital für Wachstum und Beschäftigung mangelnde Vergleichbarkeit und Datenqualität von Bildungsvariablen zu inkonsistenten Ergebnissen kommen, wurde die Bedeutung von Humankapital mit Daten auf der Ebene der deutschen Raumordnungsregionen überprüft. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass regionale Disparitäten für das Humankapital bestehen, die nicht im Zeitverlauf konvergieren. Die Altersstruktur der beschäftigten Bevölkerung ist hierfür nicht verantwortlich. Die Branchenzusammensetzung erweist sich als moderierende Variable für die Wirkung von Humankapital auf die Beschäftigungsentwicklung. Eine Wachstumsregression unterstreicht, dass dem Humankapital eine wichtige Rolle zukommt, was jedoch nicht für den Anteil von Beschäftigten mit Hochschulabschluss gilt. Signifikante Effekte haben aber die
durchschnittlichen Jahre formaler Bildung der Beschäftigten und der Anteil von Abiturienten
mit und ohne Berufsausbildung.

This article discusses the structure and the functioning of the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) and then proceeds to analyse ARF's achievements, expectations, as well as increasing perceptions of its irrelevance as a security institution. It suggests that any analysis of the relevance of the ARF first has to examine whether the interests of its central members are opposed to the ARF's agenda and raison d'être. The three most powerful national actors (the United States, China, and Japan) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) all have an interest in supporting the ARF. It argues that the ARF is a forum that reflects the convergence of strategic interests of both the regional and external actors. Nevertheless, it concludes with the observation that the effects of the ARF are surely not sufficient to fully secure peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific, but it is arguable whether any form of institution could satisfy this goal.
