The rural consolidation state
This paper examines the effects of austerity policies on financially weak rural municipalities in Germany, focusing on debt support programmes that make financial aid conditional on municipal efforts to increase revenues and cut expenditures. These programmes effectively enforce austerity at the municipal level. Drawing on Streeck's concept of the consolidation state and austerity urbanism literature, we develop the concept of the rural consolida…
Territorial development in Bavaria between spatial justice and austere federalism
This paper examines the territorial development reforms in the federal state of Bavaria, Germany between 2008 and 2018 in light of the rise of austerity policies, introducing the concept of ‘austere federalism’ as a new state spatial process in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. Methodologically, the paper draws on the historical-materialist policy analysis and identifies three processes – municipalisation, competitisation, and respons…
Beyond Haushoferism
For decades, German geographers’ entanglement with Nazi rule has been described as primarily related to geopolitics and, more specifically, to the figure of Karl Haushofer – the ‘black sheep’ of an otherwise ‘scientific’ discipline. While research has been dismantling this ‘Haushoferism’ since the 1980s, the academic geography environment in which Haushofer was embedded in Munich has not been studied thus far. The present article seeks to fill th…
Globalizing geography before Anglophone hegemony
The relationship between “national” geographical schools and an increasingly globalized geographical theory-building under the logics of Anglophone hegemony has generated critical debate within geography. This paper aims to contribute to current discussions on the development of differential, language-based “schools of thought” in geography and how these are mobilized and de- and recontextualized when they travel beyond their origins. However, it…
Schleichende Krise strukturschwacher Kommunen
Der Beitrag nimmt das gestiegene Problembewusstsein für kommunale Daseinsvorsorge zum Ausgangspunkt, um die Auswirkungen kommunaler Finanzschwäche zu diskutieren. Neben der ungleichen räumlichen Entwicklung geht er auf den zunehmenden Wettbewerb zwischen den Gemeinden ein. Anhand einer Analyse der kommunalen Maßnahmen zur Haushaltskonsolidierung in Hessen und Nordrhein-Westfalen zeigt der Beitrag auf, dass die Entschuldungsprogramme negative Ausw…
Auf dem Weg zum austeritätspolitischen Föderalismus in Bayern? Eine historisch-materialistische Politikanalyse sparpolitischer Restrukturierungsprozesse in der Raumordnung
Die als Erfolgsmodell geltende bayerische Raumplanung wurde in den letzten Jahren kontinuierlich geschwächt. Mit der materialistischen Staatstheorie lässt sich dieser Wandel als Folge austeritärer Staatlichkeit fassen. Vor diesem Hintergrund ergründet der Beitrag die Konsequenzen dieser Verschiebung für die Raumordnung. Anhand feststellbarer Prozesse der Kommunalisierung, Verwettbewerblichung und Responsibilisierung lässt sich die Herausbildung e…
Räumliche Sozialstruktur und raumbezogene Semantiken – Aushandlungen von „Peripherie“ und „Peripherisierung“ am Beispiel dreier Orte
Recent research in social geography is noted for its frequent use of concepts such as discourse, framing or imaginaries to address the space-relatedness which lies at the heart of culture. Less well-known in these discussions is the distinction made within systems theory between social structure and semantics. The distinction aims to organize the variety and complexity of social relations by separating them analytically into an accepted reality (…
