The Socio-Spatiality of Energy Borderlands – Multidimensional Discursive Practices Regarding the Turów Coal Mine Conflict
An important component regarding the climate and energy crisis and its implications is the upheaval in energy production and supply as a fundamental transition in favor of low-carbon energy. The regions of the German-Polish border area studied in this paper encounter different development paths of coal and renewable energy sources. One emblematic recent case in this context, is the legal dispute over the closure of the Turów coal mine. The author…
Institutionalizing collaborative regional governance in organizationally thin regions—Regional development agencies and the neglect of social innovations
This article compares one emerging and three established regional development agencies in rural regions in Germany as examples of collaborative governance for socially innovative regional development. We ask, firstly, how an emergent collaborative regional governance network can be institutionalized in the long term based on participatory mechanisms on several levels as well as between actors with different goals and values. Secondly, how an orga…

Socio-spatial dimensions in energy transitions: Applying the TPSN framework to case studies in Germany
Energy transitions cannot be fully grasped without appreciating their spatial implications. This paper takes up the idea of conceptualizing the socio-spatial dimensions of energy transitions and examines the respective value of the Territory, Place, Scale, and Network (TPSN) framework. The fundamental contribution of this framework is to move the focus of the debate away from whether one ontology of the socio-spatial is ‘better’ than another. By …
New energy spaces: Towards a geographical political economy of energy transition
Cultural Landscapes
Cultural landscapes are regarded as an expression of landscape change, as individual regions, and as the result of the interaction of humans with their physical and material environment. For decades, the notion of the landscape shaped the discipline of geography. Insights within the field of social sciences on the social construction and on the processual character of (cultural) landscapes have led to new discourses here. More recent studies anal…
Using focus groups to study energy transitions: Researching or producing new social realities
Political landscapes between manifestations and democracy, identities and power
This editorial discusses the importance of a political perspective on landscapes and comes to the conclusion that political aspects can be discovered in virtually all landscapes as they are inevitably imbued with politics, antagonistic dimensions and power. It furthermore analyses previous research on political landscapes and on 'the political' in relation to landscapes. It does so with reference to four key aspects: (a) physical and representati…
Is it all about collaborative governance? Alternative ways of understanding the success of energy regions
Transforming energy systems by transforming power relations. Insights from dispositive thinking and governmentality studies
Energy transitions bring about changes in the infrastructural energy system and in the social sphere. Crucially, these changes touch upon power relations. Thus, studying the social order through the perspective of the energy system should include an understanding of "power". Dispositive thinking and governmentality studies are two promising approaches for conceptualizing power relations. Whereas dispositive thinking is important for understanding…
The Social Construction of Landscapes: Two Theoretical Lenses and Their Empirical Applications
There is growing interest amongst landscape researchers on social constructivist perspectives on landscapes. This paper discusses two ways of conceptualising the social construction of landscapes: historical institutionalism and post-structuralist discourse theory. The aim is to explore the opportunities that both approaches offer, and to assess their strengths and limitations. Drawing on two local case studies from Germany, we illuminate the ont…
