'''Literature review'''
'''Resource 1''': '''“The Economic, Social and Political Elements of Climate Change”''' published by Walter Leal Filho, Springer-Verlag, Berlin Heidelberg, 2011
'''a) Content of the resource'''
The book is a collection of articles from several authors about phenomena of Climate Change.
'''b) Usefulness of the resource'''
The book is divided into 50 several articles. Every article is from another author. It has the parts “Social Aspects of Climate Change“, “Economic Aspects of Climate Change“, „Political Aspects of Climate Change“ and „Practical Aspects, Initiatives, Frameworks and Projects“.
Interesting for my case study is the chapters about the economic aspects. The chapter about carbon emissions certificates is especially important for my case study because of the detailed presentation of the several matters. But all the examples are affected of the climate change. But my globalization case study should also display some of these climate change affects.
'''c) Limitations of the resource'''
Most case studies in book have their focus on the climate Change aspects and not so much on aspects of globalization. So it’s only in some aspects useful for my case study writing process.
'''Resource 2: „Peking versteht die Globalisierung nicht“'''published on the 20.10.2010 by Christoph Bertram
[http://www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2010-10/china-globalisierung-politik]
'''a) Content of the resource'''
It is an article witch has been published on “Zeit online” The author writes about the differences in the development of economic and politic aspects in newly industrialized countries. He shows it in the example of china.
'''b) Usefulness of the resource'''
The article let us know that it’s not clear that a country which is economical high developed has not the same standards of democratic for example as we in the most countries in Europe.
'''c) Limitations of the resource'''
I think this article is only limited useful for my case study. But I think it will make sense to look for some other literature about such standards.
'''Resource 3:„Schwellenländer müssen die Weltordnung mitgestalten“''' published on the 11.11.2010 by Jeanne Lätt on Zeit Online
[http://www.zeit.de/politik/2010-11/werte-universell-schwellenland]
'''a) Content of the resource'''
The author describe in the article the chances and opportunities of emerging economies to influence the world governance. She describe that countries of the south and countries of the north have not the same values and expectations about the environment, the climate change and the other political, economic and social values. And if the countries of the south would more raise their voices together they would get more influence in the world’s governance.
'''b) Usefulness of the resource'''
The text is in one point useful. He shows that political, economic and social aspects have a different awareness in several countries and because of the globalization process we get a more intensive dialog about this values and opportunities.
'''c) Limitations of the resource'''
There is no direct connection between the directions which my case study should follow and it’s not concrete enough in point of the economic effects.
'''Resource 4:”Globalisierung – Segen oder Fluch?”''' Published on the 24.01.2009 by Anette Dowideit, Steffen Fründt, Sebastian Jost und Christiane Kühl on Welt online
[http://www.welt.de/finanzen/globalisierung-kinder/article3083634/Globalisierung-Segen-oder-Fluch.html]
'''a) Content of the resource'''
The article is about the pros and cons of globalization. The authors show some members of the young generation, who are winners of the globalization. They consume global distributed products and live a globalized way of live with the Internet and global brands like “MTV”.
'''b) Usefulness of the resource'''
The article is a good entrance into the pros of the economic aspects of the globalization process. I think some other literature will be useful for a more detailed view of the pros and cons of the economic aspects.
'''c) Limitations of the resource'''
The article shows much more winners and pros of the globalization than losers.
'''Resource 5: “Brauchen wir eine CO2-Steuer auf alles?”'''Published on 04.01.2010 by Gebhard Kirchgänser and Sonha Peterson on Zeit Online
[http://www.zeit.de/zeit-wissen/2010/01/Klimawandel-CO2-Steuer]
'''a) Content of the resource'''
The authors compare the alternative of the emissions certificates trade and an emission tax. In the first part of the article he describes the pros of an emission tax instead of emissions certificates and the second part describes the pros of emission certificate trading instead of a tax system.
'''b) Usefulness of the resource'''
The authors describe their opinion they have of the two different systems in the debate and the reader of the article must decide which side is the favorable.
'''c) Limitations of the resource'''
The article only displays the system of an emission tax and the system of emission certificate trading, but they don´t say anything about other systems which may be possible or attractive.
