Climate governance experiments: Current practices and their meta-governance embedding in Berlin’s solar energy transition
Cities are elective sites for experimenting and testing-out new technologies, infrastructures, social practices and governance arrangements in search for policy change. The article explores the relevance of experimental governance practices in climate change policy. The experimental nature of involved practices entails allowing for degrees of flexibility and the inclusion of novel actors, and highlights the searching, adaptive and open-ended natu…

Beyond the post-political: Exploring the relational and situated dynamics of consensus and conflict in planning
This Special Issue explores the problematique of the consensus and conflict binary that has emerged in the critical analysis of the post-political urban condition. Focusing on the interstitial spaces existing between consensus and conflict reveals a more relational dynamic that positions consensus and conflict as co-constitutive and continuously being shaped by the performance of politics by state and non-state actors. Critiques of the post-polit…
Who governs’ Berlin’s metropolitan region? The strategic-relational construction of metropolitan scale in Berlin–Brandenburg’s economic development policies
‘Who governs’ Berlin’s metropolitan region—and how? The article addresses this question by inquiring into the way metropolitan space is being constituted in current economic development policies for Berlin–Brandenburg. It follows the hypothesis that no single-unitary understanding of metropolitan space exists in Berlin as expression of an explicit metropolitan project, but rather a heteronomy of policy practices which express diverse and possibly…
Institutional Capacity Building as an Issue of Collective Action and Institutionalisation: Some Theoretical Remarks
This Chapter addresses the issue of institutional capacity building according to two basic assumptions. First, the constitution of institutional capacity is considered as sharing the same basic theoretical and practical challenges as the constitution of forms of collective action. Second, a specific critical dimension of the constitution of collective action, affecting its effectiveness and ability to sustain itself as well as its openness to adj…
Metropolitan regions as contested spaces: The discursive construction of metropolitan space in comparative perspective
Metropolitan regions as contested spaces: the discursive construction of metropolitan space in comparative perspective. Territory, Politics, Governance. This paper explores how metropolitan space as a spatial category of politics and policies is constructed discursively. It sheds a light on a variety of discursive, ideational or cognitive practices that contribute to the production of metropolitan scales. It understands metropolitan space as an o…
Planning and Conflict: Critical Perspectives on Contentious Urban Developments
When confl icts arise, emotions come into play. Planning is change, and in that process it is inevitable that not everyone agrees about future plans. A chapter on using narrative to understand and deal with planning confl icts must therefore start by recognizing the importance of emotions. The professional in the above quote explains that he had to face the fear of his own emotions in order to allow himself to listen and really hear the stories o…

The rescaling of governance in Europe: New spatial and institutional rationales
A renewed theoretical interest in geographical concepts has emerged in recent decades in the wake of a more general trend towards the “spatialization” of the social sciences. While involving a reco...
Integration, Diversity, Plurality: Territorial Governance and the Reconstruction of Legitimacy in a European ‘Postnational’ State
This article deals with the European ‘legitimacy crisis’ from a neglected perspective, looking at ‘Europe’ not primarily as a set of formal (or formalisable) institutions, but rather as an emergent, policy-driven institutional construct. In this perspective, European integration may be very much seen as the outcome of the policies that are enacted in the European supra-national arena as well as of the way such policies are continuously reinterpre…
Regionalization as 'experimental regionalism: The rescaling of territorial policy-making in Germany
The federal system of intergovernmental relationships in Germany was greatly affected in the 1990s by the increased importance of transnational rationales and by strong orientations to competitiveness in domestic political discourse. New territorial imperatives have given rise to a variety of innovative institutional approaches to policy-making, the main focus of which is the need to jointly identify new political arenas and new territorial domai…
Challenges to multi-level governance: Contradictions and conflicts in the Europeanization of Italian regional policy
Research on European integration is devoting increasing attention to the reconstruction of distinctive strategic attitudes and mediating capacities at the state level. Nevertheless, contradictions and conflicts in the Europeanization of state policies, whilst crucial for understanding the dynamics of institutional change in a European multi-level polity, are still scarcely highlighted. This paper addresses this dimension based on a case study fro…
