Neopatrimonialism revisited : beyond a catch-all concept
No full textThe article provides a critical discussion of the literature on “patrimonialism” and "neopatrimonialism” as far as the use in Development Studies in general or African Studies in particular is concerned. To overcome the catch-all use of the concept the authors present their own definition of “neopatrimonialism” based on Max Weber’s concept of patrimonialism and legal-rational bureaucracy. However, in order to make the concept more useful for comparative empirical research, they argue, it needs a thorough operationalisation (qualitatively and quantitatively) and the creation of possible subtypes which, in combination, might contribute to a theory of neopatrimonial action.Der Artikel unterzieht die beiden Konzepte „Patrimonialismus“ und „Neopatrimonialismus“, wie sie in der entwicklungstheoretischen Literatur und in Afrikastudien Verwendung finden, einer kritischen Analyse. Damit dem Konzept des Neopatrimonialismus mehr als nur eine heuristische Bedeutung zukommen kann, präsentieren die Autoren eine eigene Definition des Begriffs, die sich eng an die Weber’schen Konzepte des Patrimonialismus und der legal-rationalen Bürokratie anlehnt. Darüber hinaus ist auf dieser Grundlage (1) eine sorgfältige (qualitative und/oder quantitative) Operationalisierung des Konzeptes und (2) die Bildung von möglichen Subtypen notwendig. Erst dann kann das Konzept sinnvoll für die vergleichende empirische Forschung eingesetzt und möglicherweise etwas wie eine neopatrimoniale Handlungstheorie entwickelt werden
Collaborative conservation in action: a real-time Colorado case study
No full textPresented at the Bridging the gap: collaborative conservation from the ground up conference, September 8-11, 2009, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado, sponsored by the Center for Collaborative Conservation, https://collaborativeconservation.org/.

Carl Palmer is co-founder of Beartooth Capital Partners. Dieter Erdmann is Director of Conservation Operations for Colorado Open Lands.Colorado Open Lands, Park County, and Beartooth Capital (a private investment fund) have been collaborating to conserve and restore top priority conservation properties in South Park for the past several years, building on the more than 10-year track record of partnership between Park County and Colorado Open Lands. Beartooth Capital is a private investment fund dedicated to making investments that conserve important ranches while generating returns for investors, and its involvement is enabling the partnership to extend its reach and achieve conservation goals that had been thought out of reach. In this session, Dieter Erdmann, Director of Conservation Operations for Colorado Open Lands, and Carl Palmer, co-founder of Beartooth Capital, will introduce their organizations and each party's role in the partnership, exploring the details, strengths and challenges to this kind of innovative approach to landscape-scale conservation

He first studiedtheology at the University of Wittenberg, but switched to medicineafter a year and became a student of Professor Friedrich LudwigKreysig (1770–1839), largely known for his work with cardiologicaldiseases. In 1802 Erdmann defended his doctoral thesis on electrolysistitled Utrum aqua per electricitatem columnae a celeberrimo Voltainventae in elementa sua dissolvatur? at the University of Wittenbergand obtained a degree in medicine and surgery. After the defence ofhis thesis he completed his studies in Vienna under the supervisionof Johann Peter Frank (1747–1821) who was regarded a pioneer inthe field of public health. After his return to Wittenberg in 1804 Erdmannbecame Professor of Pathology and Therapy at the local university.In 1810 Erdmann was invited to take the post of Professor of Medicineat Kazan University in Russia. Erdmann accepted the invitationand as he had no knowledge of Russian, he delivered his lecturesat Kazan University in Latin. In addition to his posts of professorand dean of the medical faculty (1814–1817), Erdmann was in chargeof inspecting schools at the governorate of Saratov, Simbirsk, Astrakhan,Perm and Tobolsk. As a member of the school committee, heundertook long journeys to these governorates from 1815 to 1816,familiarising himself with the conditions of schools in Russia and theactivities, habits and traditions of the local people. One of his interestswere mineral springs.On the basis of his impressions of Russia Erdmann compiled amonograph in three volumes, the first part titled Medizinische Topographiedes Gouvernements und der Stadt Kasan, nebst mehrerendarauf Bezug habenden historischen, geographischen, statistischenund ethnographischen Notizen von Dr. Johann Friedrich Erdmann.Beiträge zur Kenntniss des Innern von Russland was printed in 1822in Tartu. It was meant for Germans to study the conditions in theheartland of Russia. The author wrote about different peoples livingin Russia, including Finno-Ugric nations.In 1817 Erdmann was invited to the University of Tartu/Dorpatto take the position of Professor of Pathology, Semeiotics, Therapyand Clinics. He became head of the polyclinic as well. Erdmann's firstperiod of activity in Tartu lasted from 1818 to 1823, after which heheaded to Germany to improve his health. In 1828 he returned toTartu and became Professor of Dietetics, Pharmaceutics, History ofMedicine and Medical Literature. He was also Dean of the Faculty ofMedicine and head of the Institute of Professors. Erdmann retired in1843 and returned to Germany, where he died in Wiesbaden in 1846.After Erdmann's first period of professorship, several medical topographicaldissertations were written and defended at the Universityof Tartu from 1823 to 1848. Thus, in 1823 a medical topographywas compiled about Tartu, followed by dissertations about Riga(1828), Archangelsk (1828), Tallinn (1836), Greece (1836), Courland(1838) and Orenburg (1848).Erdmann may have had an influence on the structure of theseworks, starting with the history, demographics and climate of thechosen location. The works frequently include interesting aspectsabout ethnographical details, as well as hints about the local languages.Erdmann’s monograph from 1822 was mostly quoted when theauthor of a dissertation described Russian people and their lifestyle.Erdmann's attitude towards different nations was rather liberal,whereas in the dissertations presented in Tartu local people wereoften criticised.Future research topics may include the further analysis of Erdmann'swork and correspondence as well researching the medicaltopographies presented in Tartu from an ethnological point of view
