The report at hand presents first results derived from a quantitative impact evaluation of an intervention for enhanced land use planning in the Philippines. The SIMPLE (Sustainable Integrated Management and Planning for Local Government Ecosystems) approach embedded in the Philippine-German cooperation’s “Environment and Rural Development (EnRD)” program was implemented between 2006 and 2015, managed by the Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).

Sebastian H. Schneider untersucht anhand von Individual- und Aggregatdaten, welche individuellen und kontextuellen Faktoren die Beteiligung von Bürgerinnen und Bürgern an der kommunalen Haushaltsplanung („Bürgerhaushalte“) beeinflussen. Der Autor leistet einen Beitrag zur politikwissenschaftlichen Grundlagenforschung, da solche konsultativ-dialogischen Beteiligungsverfahren vermehrt Verbreitung finden werden. Zudem bietet die Studie Erkenntnisse für die kommunalpolitische Praxis, indem sie Wirkungszusammenhänge aufdeckt und somit Verständnis für Erfolg und Scheitern solcher Verfahren schaffen kann, wenngleich eine mechanische Steuerung der Partizipation weder möglich noch wünschenswert ist.

This article uses the example of European budget support to show the differences in applying principal–agent and collective action analysis to the donor–recipient relationship and the incentives of European donors. Our results show that the Paris Declaration, while formulating the ‘right’ principles, carries a number of assumptions regarding the (cap)ability of donors to act collectively. This assumption, however, fails to include the political economy of European donors and their own political, institutional and individual incentives that undermined this capability substantially. In other words, the domestic political costs and incentives for European donors to implement the Paris agenda, and in particular aid modalities such as budget support, were not given enough consideration when the aid effectiveness agenda was formulated.

We investigated whether an intergroup contact intervention that included two intergroup meetings between Jewish and Arab Israeli students in Israel led to improved long-term intergroup relations. Besides our interest in long-term intergroup contact effects in an intractable conflict, we analyzed minority–majority differences in this context. Before we calculated our results, measurement equivalence across time was ascertained. Data were computed using latent change models. Results for minority members (Arab Israeli) showed positive short- but no long-term contact intervention effects, that is, attitudes and behavior intentions improved shortly after the intervention but went back to the before-intervention level after nine weeks. Contrary to our expectation for majority members (Jewish Israeli), the intervention led to a reduction of positive intergroup relations both in the short- and long-run. By merging quantitative data with students’ comments about their intergroup experience, we identified that this effect was probably based on negative contact experiences. Results are discussed.
