Spatial planning policies for export-oriented green-hydrogen projects in Chile, Namibia, and South Africa
Export-oriented green-hydrogen projects (EOGH2P) are being developed in regions with optimal renewable-energy resources. Their reliance on economies of scale makes them land-intensive and object of spatial planning policies. However, the impact of spatial planning on the development of EOGH2P remains underexplored. Drawing on the spatial planning and megaproject literatures, the analysis of planning documents and expert interviews, this paper ana…

Infrastructure Bottlenecks as Opportunity for Local Development
Energy geography has not scrutinized the role of energy infrastructures and market design for decentralized energy production and local development. The paper addresses this research gap by looking at the emerging green‐hydrogen market in Germany. We argue, first, that the capacity and geography of infrastructures and associated bottlenecks determine how supply and demand can be matched at different scales. Second, market design and associated co…
The political ecology of geothermal development
This contribution explores the potential of large-scale geothermal projects to benefit local communities, a topic about which little is known. We address this gap in the scholarly literature by focusing on Iceland and Kenya, two countries that have pioneered geothermal power generation infrastructure for many decades. While many large-scale renewable energy schemes have ended up as green sacrifice zones, we inquire into whether there are also pos…
Third places and educational justice
Public libraries play an important role in supporting and safeguarding educational justice and societal participation. The so-called third place – with the home as the first place and the school or workplace as the second place – forms a central support structure beyond formal educational institutions. The corona crisis forced public libraries to close temporarily, adapt their services, and develop new formats. This article analyzes these latest …
Roads to Change
This article examines how rural roads relate to differences in livelihood patterns, attitudes toward social change, and land disputes in Baringo, Kenya. Although their direct use is limited for many residents, roads have a highly differentiating impact. While some households orientate themselves toward roads, those relying more on (agro-)pastoralist livelihoods avoid their proximity. Our findings suggest that better-off households are not the onl…

Cross-Scale Linkages of Centralized Electricity Generation
Based on a study of Kenya’s geothermal-energy development in Baringo-Silali, we explore how and with whom government actors and local communities in rural and peripheral areas interact when planning and implementing large-scale power plants. Starting from a comparison of decentralized and centralized energy systems, we demonstrate that the development of this large-scale infrastructure project and the associated investor-community relations are g…
Financing large-scale renewable-energy projects in Kenya
As energy transitions are progressing and economies of scale are kicking in, renewable-electricity generation begins to include, and be dominated by, large-scale operations. This shift is accompanied by far-reaching changes in the ownership and financing structures of renewable-energy projects, involving connections and (inter)dependencies between international and domestic investors and policies. With growing sizes and maturity, renewable-energy…
Knowledge Management in the Network Mode
There has been an ongoing debate on the changing geographical organization of the financial sector and the decreasing importance of regional financial centres. Our contribution explores a fresh perspective on this issue by looking at knowledge and risk management in different parts of the financial sector with an empirical focus on private equity in Germany. The argument we put forward is that the ways in which providers of finance manage knowled…

The Return of Depression Economics and the Crisis of 2008
The Return of Depression Economics and the Crisis of 2008, Paul Krugman, Penguin, London (2008). 191 pp. £9.99 (pbk). ISBN 9781846142390. This book is mainly a revised version of an earlier volume
Decentralized versus centralized financial systems
In recent years, stimulated by globalization, technological innovation and intensifying international competition, there has been a growing trend towards the increasing institutional and geographical concentration of financial systems and markets. At the same time, there has been mounting academic and policy interest in the financing problems faced by new and small firms, which are widely considered to suffer from a ‘funding gap’. These twin deve…
Venture capital programmes in the UK and Germany
Sunley P., Klagge B., Berndt C. and Martin R. (2005) Venture capital programmes in the UK and Germany: in what sense regional policies?, Regional Studies 39 , 255–273. The paper considers how far and in what ways venture capital policies in the UK and Germany have been constructed as regional policy interventions. It begins by explaining two justifications for adding a regional dimension to venture capital policy and outlines the development of s…
Spatial Proximity Effects and Regional Equity Gaps in the Venture Capital Market
The issue of 'equity gaps' has loomed large in recent discussions of enterprise formation and development, both in the United Kingdom and in Germany. One particularly intriguing, but highly elusive, aspect of this issue is the question of whether equity gaps have a regional dimension: are certain regions at a systematic disadvantage with respect to the provision of equity capital? In this paper, we explore this question in the context of the UK a…
Poverty Segregation in West German Cities - The "Americanization" Hypothesis and Its Empirical Evidence
It is generally assumed that the segregation of the poor in German cities is increasing as a result of cumulative polarization processes in a capitalist economy. This has led to the assumption that German cities are increasingly becoming similar to American cities. The idea of an "Americanization" specifically includes the development of the inner-city "poverty ghettos" and their adverse implications for urban social development in general, which…
Strukturwandel im Bankenwesen und regionalwirtschaftliche Implikationen
The influence of the banking system is often neglected when dealing with regional structures and disparities. The banking system, however, does play an important role for regional development. By looking at the functional, organizational and spatial aspects of the ongoing structural changes in the banking sector, the consequences for retail and corporate commercial banking are examined. Special emphasis is put on the interrelationship between loc…
A New Type of Family Homelessness
An increasing number of homeless families in Madison, Wisconsin, have lived in other places before becoming homeless in Madison: these families are the focus of this paper. While their demographic and socioeconomic characteristics fit the generally accepted understanding of homeless families, the reasons explaining their situation differ from those most frequently cited, which suggests that a new type of family homelessness has to be considered. …
