From grassroots to centralization—the development of local and regional governance in the german energy transition
In the process of sustainability and especially electricity transition, the local and regional levels gain a new importance. Both social movements as well as governments from different levels (state, federal) are mobilizing and/or addressing local actors. The way this has been done and the capacities for local actors to have a say in the way transition processes do unfold, however, has changed significantly over the last decades in Germany. The p…

The enactment of socio-technical transition pathways
This paper aims to make two contributions to the sustainability transitions literature, in particular the Geels and Schot (2007. Res. Policy 36(3), 399) transition pathways typology. First, it reformulates and differentiates the typology through the lens of endogenous enactment, identifying the main patterns for actors, formal institutions, and technologies. Second, it suggests that transitions may shift between pathways, depending on struggles o…
Die Energiewende im Ländervergleich
Der Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien wird in Deutschland und im Vereinigten Königreich von unterschiedlichen Dynamiken, Zielen und Akteuren getrieben: Während im Vereinigten Königreich die Politik und die großen Energieversorger den Ausbau forcieren, ist in Deutschland das Engagement der Bürger(innen) ausschlaggebend - das Monopol der Großkonzerne schwindet
One or many transitions
A characterizing feature of the German electricity transition is that it started as a movement arising from the civil society. Initially the movement was directed against nuclear energy and later on turned into a movement favouring decentralized forms of energy production and distribution as well as local control over energy issues. Once these demands found official recognition and regulatory support, a dynamic development ensued in which a host …
The Governance of Innovations in the Energy Sector
The field of electricity supply has slowly evolved over a long period of time. Electricity supply constitutes an example of a large technical system resistant to sudden changes or reorientations. The essential incentives for changes have come from the so called oil-price shocks in the mid ninety-seventies of the last century, the Chernobyl accident and the resulting critical attitude towards nuclear energy in many countries, the liberalization of…
Die Rolle lokaler Initiativen bei der Transformation des deutschen EnergiesystemsThe Role of Local Initiatives in Transforming the German Energy Supply System
Die Energiewende wird gern als der Versuch einer gerichteten Transformation eines großen sozio-technischen Systems interpretiert. Diese Interpretation übersieht, dass vielfältige lokale und dezentral organisierte Initiativen der offiziellen Energiewendepolitik vorausgingen und diese entscheidend prägten

Introduction
Economic globalization and regional penetration
This paper explores the emergence of direct linkages between the international economy and the state government of Baden–Württemberg, Germany. In the early 1990s Baden–Württemberg embarked on a plan in which the laender government took the lead in organizing a large–scale, high technology project for the development of interactive television. Creating a ‘network’ between itself and major economic actors the laender government sought to enhance th…

Towards regional convergence in the European information society? 1
This paper discusses the implications of the concept of the European information society for the development of Europe's regions. Many policy documents of the European Union express general optimism that information and communications technologies (ICTs) will have a positive influence on the regions and will increase regional coherence. As a review of pertinent research shows, however, the effect of ICTs on regional development is more complex th…

Policy‐making in a system of multi‐level governance ‐ the Commission of the European Community and the restructuring of the telecommunications sector
This article examines the dramatic restructuring of the telecommunications sector during the 1980s and continuing through the present decade. The European Commission has worked hard for that restructuring, but the activities of the Commission can hardly be explained using the standard analytical repertoire found in international relations or comparative political research. After a look at the state of current integration theory, the article analy…

Das Konzept der Ökologie in der amerikanischen Geographie
In recent times, interest in the ecological thought pattern has been revived in German geography by chorological research (Troll/Paffen) as well as by studies in social geography. There is, however, only little knowledge of the fact that a special body of ecological theory was developed in American geography between 1900 and 1930, thus anticipating the spread of ecological thought in European geography. This period is generally neglected in the p…
