Advantages of a Polycentric Approach to Climate Change Policy

Lack of progress in global climate negotiations has led scholars to reconsider polycentric approaches to climate policy. Several examples of subglobal mechanisms to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions have been touted, but it remains unclear why they might achieve better climate outcomes than global negotiations alone. Decades of work conducted by researchers associated with the Vincent and Elinor Ostrom Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University have emphasized two chief advantages of polycentric approaches over monocentric ones: they provide more opportunities for experimentation and learning to improve policies over time, and they increase communications and interactions — formal and informal, bilateral and multilateral — among parties to help build the mutual trust needed for increased cooperation. A wealth of theoretical, empirical and experimental evidence supports the polycentric approach

Optical coupling of flexible microstructured organic light sources for automotive applications

In this paper, we report on modelling and processing of customised optical patterns coupled with microstructured large area organic light emitting device (OLED) sources for automotive lighting. Different approaches for the optical control of the light emitted from an OLED are discussed and compared with the aim to fulfil automotive specifications for the following devices: side-marker, ceiling light and glove-box illuminators.
