Urbanization and human health in urban India: Institutional analysis of water-borne diseases in Ahmedabad
Diseases are rapidly urbanizing. Ageing infrastructures, high levels of inequality, poor urban governance, rapidly growing economies and highly dense and mobile populations all create environments rife for water-borne diseases. This article analyzes the role of institutions as crosscutting entities among a myriad of factors that breed water-borne diseases in the city of Ahmedabad, India. It applies 'path dependency' and a 'rational choice' perspe…
Knowledge Cluster Formation as a Science Policy in Malaysia: Lessons Learned
Regional science policy aims to create productive knowledge clusters, which are central places within an epistemic landscape of knowledge production and dissemination. These so-called K-clusters are said to have the organisational capability to drive innovations and create new industries. Many governments have used cluster formation as one of their development strategies. This paper looks at Malaysia's path towards a knowledge-based economy and o…

Transboundary Water Resources Management: A Multidisciplinary Approach
improving water allocation in the Volta Basin of the West African savannah zone under climate change conditions. One of the main objectives of the project is the development of a scientifically sound and user-friendly decision support system (DSS) to be used by water management actors at different societal levels. One potential user for a DSS operating at trans-boundary level is the Volta Basin Authority, created in 2006 by the

Globalizing Local Knowledge: Social Science Research on Southeast Asia, 1970-2000
New knowledge is produced at great speed and fed into a global epistemic machinery of data banks, publications, and think tanks. In reverse, global knowledge is absorbed and used locally. Locally produced knowledge is on the increase as society moves towards a knowledge society. Social science research adds to knowledge of societies. If it is locally produced, it can be interpreted as reflexive modernization in so far as it provides paradigms for…
Wissen als Produktionsfaktor: Südostasiens Aufbruch zur Wissensgesellschaft
Die Soziale Welt ist eine der großen, auch im Ausland gelesenen Fachzeitschriften innerhalb der deutschen Soziologie. Sie bringt empirische und theoretische Arbeiten aus allen Bereichen des Faches und versucht auf diese Weise, die Entwicklung der Soziologie einerseits zu spiegeln und ihr andererseits auch neue Impulse zu geben. Dies geschieht neben den viermal pro Jahr erscheinenden regulären Heften auch durch die Arbeit an Sonderbänden mit einhe…

Crisis Management: Chinese Entrepreneurs and Business Networks in Southeast Asia
Global Market Cultures and the Construction of Modernity in Southeast Asia
Belief in the benevolence of free markets has become a fundamental credo of professional experts, economists, business people and politicians. We regard this discourse as part of a new culture of markets, which has also taken root in Southeast Asia. Expanding markets and using high-tech devices of communication are interpreted as cultural systems that are used in the construction of modernity. An `unbridled romanticism of productivity' (Baudrilla…

The Culture of Planning: Transmigration Area Development in East Kalimantan, Indonesia
Development planning presupposes that target areas are defined as underdeveloped. In planning an area development project, experts have therefore to conceptually create 'underdevelopment' to legitimise their intervention in the social and economic processes of their target area. On the basis of field research in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, it is shown that a lack of information hides existing structures and institutions which in turn leads to the…
