Sommario/riassunto |
|
This paper assesses competitiveness in the case of the Central African Republic, a postconflict country. The paper presents several conventional techniques for assessing competitiveness, namely the real exchange rate and recent trade performance. Several other measures are considered, in particular transport costs and governance measures, which may be more effective in capturing the obstacles to competitiveness posed by the poor security environment and weak institutions common to many post-conflict situations. The real exchange measure and trade measures suggest some mild erosion of competitiveness in recent years, while the other measures indicate that the competitiveness challenges faced by the Central African Republic are much deeper. |

Sommario/riassunto |

Als Mittel der Konservierung ist Kälte seit alters her von fundamentaler Bedeutung für die menschliche Kultur, doch erst mit dem Industriezeitalter wurden Möglichkeiten künstlicher Kühlung ersonnen, die heute selbstverständlich sind. Mit ihr gingen auch neue Möglichkeiten der Erkenntnisgewinnung einher. Die gefrorene Bewegung wurde zur Metapher der verlangsamten Aufzeichnung. Ohne Kryotechnik gäbe es keine modernen Rechen- und Bildgebungsprozesse. Diesen Möglichkeiten eiskalter Beobachtung |

stehen Sichtbarkeitsverluste durch Frost oder Niederschlag gegenüber, so wie die künstliche Absenkung von Temperaturen gerade durch ihren Energieverbrauch den Klimawandel weiter anheizt. Die Technik der Kühlung erreicht in jeder Hinsicht neue Tiefst- und Höchstmarken - mit umfassenden Folgen für das Wissen und die Wahrnehmung. |
Cold has always been of fundamental importance to human culture, but it was not until the industrial age that possibilities of artificial cooling were invented which are taken for granted today. However, colling was also accompanied by new possibilities for gaining knowledge. The frozen movement became a metaphor for technical still life, and without cryogenics, there would be no modern computing and imaging processes. Such possibilities of ice-cold observation are contrasted by losses of visibility, due to frost or precipitation, just as the artificial lowering of temperatures fuels climate change precisely through its energy consumption. Cooling technology is reaching new lows and highs in every respect - with extensive consequences for knowledge and perception. |
