Despite the best of intentions, donors can inadvertently undermine statebuilding processes. When the resources they deliver or the reforms they advocate weaken rather than strengthen the state's decision- and policy-making functions, their efforts can do more harm than good. Donors can also do harm by creating a brain drain away from state organizations - for instance, by hiring the most qualified civil servants. When aid is delivered in a way that actually acts as a disincentive to states to consolidate their own revenue base, this can slow the development of the state's own capacity. How can donors ensure they do no harm? How can they be sure they intervene constructively in fragile situations? This publication provides practical guidance based on the results of research undertaken on behalf of the OECD DAC International Network on Conflict and Fragility (INCAF). The book is based on comparative case studies of six countries (Afghanistan, Bolivia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nepal, Rwanda and Sierra Leone) and a comprehensive literature review. It addresses how the interventions of OECD countries may risk undermining positive statebuilding processes, and makes recommendations as to how this may be avoided in the future.--Publisher's description

Der Siegeszug der Nutzpflanze Mais zur weltweit wichtigsten Getreidepflanze wird auf Grund diverser Voraussetzungen nachvollzogen, wobei nicht nur auf das hohe Ertragspotential, die vielfache Verwendbarkeit und weitläufige Klimaverträglichkeit Bezug genommen wird,sondern auch auf die kulturelle Bedeutung der Pflanze in den Hochkulturen Mittel- und Südamerikas, die durch Auslese und Wiederanbau, sowie Tausch und Handel zur Ausprägung einer Vielzahl von Merkmalen beigetragen hatten. Aufbauend auf dieser genetischen Vielfalt und in Zusammenhang mit dem wissenschaftlichen Nachweis des Heterosiseffektes, kam es im Laufe der letzten 100 Jahre zur Unterstützung diverser Forschungsnetzwerke, um das Ertragspotential sowie weitere Eigenschaften dieser Pflanze zu erkunden und auszubauen, um sie unter unterschiedlichen lokalspezifischen Anbaubedingungen weiterzuentwickeln. Dies verlief besonders dann erfolgreich, wenn sich Forscher, Fachleute und Landwirte zu längerfristigen Forschungskooperationen zusammenfanden, Forschungsziele gemeinsam formulierten und sich zum freien Austausch von Informationen und Materialien bekannten.Derartige kooperative Forschungsinitiativen wurden anfangs vorwiegend seitens humanitärer Stiftungen unterstützt, die sich mit Fragen der Ernährungssicherheit befassten, wohingegen das erste europäische Netzwerk der Maisforscher mit finanzieller Unterstützung seitens des Marshallplans über die Bühne lief. Diese Marshallplan-unterstützte Forschungsinitiative findet in der deutschsprachigen Literatur kaum Erwähnung, konnte allerdings anhand von zahlreichen englischsprachigen Berichten und Artikeln nachvollzogen werden, wobei auch die damit in Verbindung stehenden regionalen und gesamtwirtschaftlichen Entwicklungsimpulse zur Sprache gebracht werden, die besonders auch in Österreich sichtbare Auswirkungen mit sichbrachten. Aufbauend auf den Erkenntnisgewinnen aus diesen ersten Getreideforschungsnetzwerken der Nachkriegszeit kam es in den 1960er Jahren zur Gründung der ersten internationalen Agrarforschungszentren, die in enger Zusammenarbeit mit nationalen Forschungseinrichtungen beeindruckende Resultate hinsichtlich der Eindämmung von akuten Ernährungskrisen in Asien und Afrika erzielen konnten. Zusätzliche Agrarforschungszentren wurden in den 1970er Jahren ins Leben gerufen, nachdem sich zahlreiche Vertreter nationaler und multilateraler Entwicklungsorganisationen zusammengeschlossen hatten und die ursprünglich auf Ernährungssicherheit ausgerichteten Forschungsaufgaben auf den Schutz natürlicher Ressourcen, Klimawandel und Umweltbelange ausweiteten. ; The rise of maize to become the most important cereal in terms of worldwide production is highlighted from the perspectives of yield potential, multiple use and broad climatic adaptability. The role of maize is also based on its importance to Central- and South American indigenous cultures whose careful selection and exchange activities over centuries and long distances contributed to a wide range of desirable plant characteristics. Taking advantage of this genetic diversity and based on the scientific discovery of 'hybrid vigor or heterosis, several research networks were created over the past 100 years with the aim to investigate and enhance the yield potential and other characteristics under a wide range of growing conditions. This kind of cooperative research initiatives were particularlysuccessful when researchers, technicians and farmers joined forces to pursue commonly defined research goals and committed to free exchange of information and materials. Most initial networks were supported by philanthropic foundations concerned with food security, whereas in the case of the European network of maize researchers, the financial support was provided by the Marshall Plan. This support to maize research during the postwar period is barely mentioned in German-language literature dealing with the Marshall Plan. Consequently, this work draws on several unpublished reports, articles and books published in English in order to obtain insights into the vast impacts this generated in termsof regional and overall socioeconomic development, particularly also in the main growing regions of Austria. Drawing on these and similar experiences from other crop research networks during the postwar period, philanthropic visionaries and political decision makers decided to support the creation of the first international agricultural research centers in the 1960s, which in close collaboration with national research institutions managed to generate impressive contributions to containing the looming food shortages in Asia and Africa. Additional international agricultural research centers were created in the 1970s, when the representatives of numerous national foreign assistance agencies and multilateral development organizations joined forces to widen the focus from food security to naturalresources management, climatic change and environmental and human health. ; vorgelegt von Mag.

Das wichtigste Ergebnis des 15. Iberoamerikanischen Gipfeltreffens, das am 14. und 15. Oktober im spanischen Salamanca stattfand, war die Institutionalisierung und Konsolidierung der Iberoamerikanischen Staatengemeinschaft als internationale Organisation. Das neue Generalsekretariat in Madrid soll, unter der Leitung des Ökonomen und langjährigen Chefs der Interamerikanischen Entwicklungsbank Enrique Iglesias, die Entwicklungsprojekte koordinieren sowie die von Spanien angeführte Staatengemeinschaft international positionieren und als neuen Akteur profilieren.
