Benedikter is co-author of Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker’s "Report to the Club of Rome 2003: Limits to Privatization. How to Avoid too Much of a Good Thing". He is author of three books - one of them about the "Sustainable Democratization of Iraq" (see: Post-invasion Iraq, 2003–present) through culture- and ethnicity-oriented strategies, one about "Social Banking and Social Finance: Answers to the Economic Crisis" (see: Late-2000s financial crisis) and one about the current "Zeitgeist" as embodied in the "Attention Economy" and in Sport as a mediatical and cultural phenomenon -, and of more than 200 book chapters and essays in books (a.o. Routledge, Francis and Taylor, Springer, Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press) and specialized journals. He is editor and co-author of 12 books (a.o. „Economy and Culture in Dialogue“ and „The Social Sciences in the 21st Century“), of 19 articles in 4 international encyclopedias, and of more than 40 essays for newspapers in Russia, Turkey, Slovenia, Germany, Austria and Italy.

His writings – originally mainly in German, English and Italian - have been translated into French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Slovenian, Turkish, Persian, Korean and Macedonian, and re-published repeatedly, also on the Internet. Given to their broadly accessible style and language, Benedikter's publications have been considered as "exceptionally powerful and inspiring" (Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker).

A Journal of Science, Technology, Ethics, and Policy"; "Cultural Intelligence: Issues in Security and Defense"; and “Philosophy, Ethics and Humanities in Medicine“.
