German and British parliaments and conceptions of the global climate threat during the United Nation Earth Summit of 1992
2019
Ever since the beginning of international climate conservation politics there has been variation across nations in political traditions in debating the climate issue. Political decision-makers have interpreted the scientific findings on global warming with different emphases, thereby giving rise to variation in views on preferred national or international solutions. These tensions first became evident before and during the Earth Summit of the United Nations in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, when the United Nations Climate Change Convention was prepared and eventually signed. This article discusses the historical background of international climate conservation politics and illustrates the tensions…

Od przyjaźni nakazanej do współpracy partnerskiej: kontakty Wrocławia i Drezna w ramach współpracy miast na przestrzeni siedemdziesięciu lat
2017
The article shows the evolution of the contacts between Wrocław and Dresden within the framework of city partnership agreements against the background of the general state of Polish-German relations. It also mentions activities taken as part of the second Wrocław-Wiesbaden partnership. Since the 1950s, there have been formal and extremely limited contacts between the authorities and political organozations of Dresden and Wrocław. With the passage of time and, above all, after the political changes in Poland and Germany and the signing of the Polish-German border treaty of 1990 and the Good Neighbourhood and Friendly Cooperation Agreement of 1991, these contacts have become more universal, t…
Need for speed? Exploring the relative importance of patents and utility models among German firms
2017
Despite the wide use of two-tiered patent systems (patents and utility models (UMs)), there is little empirical evidence about how often UMs are actually used, what kind of firms use them to protect their intellectual property, and how firms rank them relative to patents. We offer such an analysis using data from Germany. We find that larger firms are more likely to use both protection methods. Moreover, a short life cycle of products and services is associated with an increased likelihood to use UMs. The features and functioning of the German UM system are of broader interest because it has been a benchmark for several second tier patent protection systems around the world. peerReviewed

Speaking of politics in parliament : experiences of writing a book on the digitized Bundestag debates, 1949–2017
2022
This article consists of ex post methodological reflections on the procedures and practices that I applied in my monograph Politik als parlamentarischer Begriff: Perspektiven aus den Plenardebatten des Deutschen Bundestags (Leverkusen, 2021). The book analyses through 18 parliamentary terms the conceptualization of politics in German Bundestag plenary debates from 1949 to 2017. The book was an illustration of my long-term aim of combining political theorizing with the empirical analysis of debate. In writing the book, my guiding idea was to apply Ludwig Wittgenstein’s point, that the meaning of a concept lies in its use, to an analysis of how parliamentary debates open a perspective on the …
