At once a slogan and a vision for future scholarship, interdisciplinarity promises to break through barriers to address today's complex challenges. Yet even high-stakes projects often falter, undone by poor communication, strong feelings, bureaucratic frameworks, and contradictory incentives. This new book shows newcomers and veteran researchers how to craft associations that will lead to rich mutual learning under inevitably tricky conditions. Strikingly candid and always grounded, the authors draw a wealth of profound, practical lessons from an in-depth case study of a multiyear funded project on cultural property. Examining the social dynamics of collaboration, they show readers how to anticipate sources of conflict, nurture trust, and jump-start thinking across disciplines. Researchers and institutions alike will learn to plan for each phase of a project life cycle, capturing insights and shepherding involvement along the way.

This volume contains papers presented in a workshop of international experts in September 2008 in Berlin. The experts discussed how environmental consequences of EU legislation can be incorporated in a more effective way. In other words, this contribution focuses on the question of which measures can strengthen the cons- eration of environmental effects in the EU impact assessment procedure and in the subsequent legislative decision-making process. This allows drawing conclusions for the impact assessment process in Germany. This volume begins with an introductory paper (Bizer/Lechner/Führ) which served as the basis for discussion in our workshop. The questions raised in this paper are addressed by the authors of the subsequent chapters. Stephen White (DG Environment, EU-Commission) discusses the impact assessment from an int- nal perspective within the Commission. Pendo Maro (European Environmental Bureau) reviews the impact assessment practice from the perspective of an en- ronmental NGO. Martin Schmidt et al. discuss the potential for more formalism to strengthen environmental issues within impact assessments and favour a checklist.

Die Enquete-Kommission "Schutz des Menschen und der Umwelt" hat mit den ehrgeizigen Zielen, die Flächenausweisung bis 2010 auf 10 v. H. der Anfang der neunziger Jahre bestehenden Ausweisung zu reduzieren, sowie die Versiegelung auf dem jetzigen Stand einzufrieren, neue Maßstäbe für den Umgang mit Flächen gesetzt. Die vorliegende Studie beschäftigt sich mit drei möglichen Instrumenten, diese Ziele zumindest ansatzweise umzusetzen. Die drei Instrumente sind handelbare Flächenausweisungsrechte, ein modifizierter kommunaler Finanzausgleich und eine als Flächennutzungsteuer reformierte Grundsteuer.

Die häufig gestellte Forderung nach einem schlanken, aber dennoch effektiven Staat klingt paradox. Trotzdem ist dies der Kern einer Debatte, die von vielen Verbänden, aber auch in Kreisen der Ökonomie, des Rechts und der Politikwissenschaft seit einigen Jahren geführt wird. Der vorliegende Band beschreibt einen Ausweg aus diesem Dilemma: Die 'responsive Regulierung'. Danach agiert der Staat nicht mehr strikt imperativ, sondern antwortet auf die Interessenlage des Regelungsadressaten und auf die Anreizkonstellation, die sein Verhalten bestimmt. Vor diesem Hintergrund sind hier nun verschiedene Ansätze der Gesetzesfolgenforschung aus Ökonomie und Rechtswissenschaft, aber auch Politikwissenschaft und Philosophie versammelt und es wird nach den Bedingungen, unter denen eine disziplinenübergreifende Verständigung zwischen den beteiligten Wissenschaften gelingen kann, gefragt.
