Rahmenbedingungen für Innovationen zum nachhaltigen Wirtschaften -riw- Kooperative Institutionen fuer einen nachhaltigen Paradigmenwechsel in der Industrie - Das Beispiel der chemischen Industrie (COIN)

Description: Industrielle Innovationsprozesse verlaufen typischerweise entlang bestimmter Pfade, die von der vergangenen Entwicklung und der dabei entstandenen Problemsicht, Wissensbasis und Kapitalstruktur gepraegt sind. Diese Pfade sind u.U. mit langfristiger oekologischer Zukunftsvorsorge nicht vereinbar, so dass sich die Notwendigkeit einer grundlegenden Neuorientierung ergibt. Ziel des Projektes ist es, Eignung und Umsetzbarkeit kooperativer Regulierungsstrategien fuer derartige Weichenstellungen am Beispiel der chemischen Industrie zu untersuchen. Diese Fragestellung wird in einem Verbundprojekt unter Beteiligung von Oekonomen, Historikern, Juristen und der Bayer AG untersucht. Die einzelnen Arbeitsfelder umfassen eine historische Aufarbeitung bedeutender Innovationsfaelle in der chemischen Industrie, eine oekonomische Institutionenanalyse denkbarer kooperativer Steuerungsarrangements sowie eine ordnungspolitische und rechtswissenschaftliche Bewertung. Die Ergebnisse sollen einerseits wissenschaftlich publiziert werden, andererseits in konkrete Empfehlungen fuer politische Massnahmen einfliessen.

  Title: Cooperative institutions for a sustainable paradigm shift within the industrial sector - the example of the chemical industry (COIN)
  Description: Industrial innovation processes are shaped and influenced by a multitude of factors. Typically the market and competition conditions, specific strategies of corporations, the statutory regulations, and the political and societal environment have to be taken into consideration. Thus, the direction of the innovations and their particular features are formed in a complex interaction of these factors. Hereby the state takes part in a multifaceted way, for example through technological policy, environmental policy or the provision of public infrastructure. In this process public measures have to take the particularities of the specific innovation systems into account in order to influence an innovation into the direction of a sustainable development. For a successful accomplishment of a political steering goal it is also important to consider, that industrial innovation processes show a historical dimension. Consequently these processes are not open in their development in the medium term, but influenced by the past through the existing knowledge base, capital structure und given social values. In some cases the paradigms or paths of technological development which are derived from the past are not compatible with the expected long-term ecological restrictions. Moreover, most of these restrictions become more clearly only with increasing information. Therefore, the aspect of intergenerational precaution could make it necessary to develop new basic innovation paradigms to make a successive reorientation possible. Such a change normally does not happen without any conflicts, but will be formed through interaction of private, societal and political actors respectively through a negotiation of their interests. The discussion about new technological paradigms in the past could be characterized as a strong confrontation of the involved actors. On the one hand the state tried to reach a restriction of the actors previous activities through direct regulation, and the industry tried to avoid financial burden and restrictions in their fields of business; on the other hand environmental associations acted against state and industry with blockade and protest actions. With regard to the stimulation of sustainable innovations this constellation has certainly not been most favourable. Within the actors conflict substantial change to sustainable development and long-term oriented policy was difficult, and the given framework for the industry has been insecure. Recently the idea of cooperation between the economy and the state in environmental policy becomes more important. This means, that the classical form of public environmental regulation or the utilization of taxes were substituted or even in parts complemented by cooperative mechanisms. The cooperation principle has been realized in German environmental policy in different forms, in bargaining in procedures of permission granting, in workgroups and committees to define technical standards or in ... https://ufordat.uba.de/UFORDAT/pages/PublicRedirect.aspx?TYP=PR&DSNR=78763
