    The great lakes clean-up program : a role model for international cooperation?
    (1991) Renn, Ortwin; Finson, Rachel
    This report explores the possibilities of transferring organizational and procedural structures of The Great Lakes water quality policies to other regions with similar environmental problems. Exploratory in nature, this report describes the policy making process regarding the Great Lakes, summarizes the viewpoints of various policy actors, and attempts to draw some general conclusions about the policy process and its transferability . The data for this report was compiled from three different sources, official documents and other literature, telephone interviews with key actors, and personal interviews with several actors involved.

    Attitudes towards nuclear power: a comparison between three nations
    (1984) Swaton, Elisabeth; Renn, Ortwin
    The attitudes toward the use of nuclear energy of three student samples of roughly equal size (N=150) from FR Germany, Japan and the Philippines were elicited and compared by means of a questionnaire. Concerning their overall attitudinal positions the Japanese students were predominantly in favour of nuclear energy, the German students were less unanimous while the Philippine students showed the most anti-nuclear resentment. These positions were equally influenced by considerations about benefits and risks; whereas the awareness of risks associated to the use of nuclear energy seems to prevail in all three samples, favourable or unfavourable attitudes are predominantly based on the acceptance or denial of perceived benefits. However, agreement about particular risks or benefits was found to be much stronger within each national level than among proponents and opponents of nuclear energy of the combined sample. In addition, the relevance of the issues presented in the questionnaire for the debate about nuclear energy was demonstrated.
