The lived experiences of farming under profound landscape transformation – The case of the Sand Ridge, Hungary
Food production became particularly challenging in our current food system under the conditions of the ecological crisis, including climate change. According to our political-ecological approach, landscape transformations and the everyday experiences of agricultural producers are partly the result of uneven geographical development and vice versa, industrial agriculture contributes to uneven development through the production of nature and landsc…

Towards a greener future? Environment and economic recovery in old industrial regions
The paper focuses on how the environmental assets of old industrial regions were commodified and channelled in new productive processes , along with domesticating and distributing old and new negative externalities and risks unevenly in spatial and social terms. We adopted a political ecological approach to grasp how the emergence and dynamics of agency in such spaces are related to the mobilization of environmental resources, how peripheral indu…
Locked In: Reindustrialisation and the Production of Multiple Marginalities in an Old Mining Town of Hungary
This paper aims to unfold how peripheral reindustrialisation in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) produced multiple marginalities in local spaces. Relying on a cultural political economic (CPE) approach, we analyse how the imaginary of reindustrialisation encompassed the discourses on development and the strategies and practices of powerful agents of economic restructuring in an old mining town of Hungary, which entailed new dimensions and depths …
Power relations and local agency: A comparative study of European mining towns
Local agency is marked by its structural boundedness including nation state strategies. We investigate the dynamic and mutually constitutive interrelationship between agency and state strategies to better understand and explain change in local development with the examples of four mining towns: Kiruna (Sweden), Zeitz (Germany), Most (Czechia) and Tatabánya (Hungary). They embody processes of industrial transition and mining activities that are he…
Peripheralization, Political Discontent, and Social and Solidarity Economy—Case Studies From Rural Hungary and Germany
The reintegration of Central and Eastern European (CEE) economies into globalized capitalism resulted in increasing regional polarization and the emergence of internal peripheries. The crisis of the globalized capitalist economy in 2008 resulted in the further peripheralization of rural areas, and the related crisis of representative democracies triggered rural resentment against the existing order. Inhabitants of peripheralized areas have a feel…
Crisis, institutional change and peripheral industrialization: Municipal-central state relations and changing dependencies in three old industrial towns of Hungary
A szentesi modell és napjaink versenyképességi kihívásai - növekvő gazdasági, társadalmi és környezeti kockázatok: Hu
Tanulmányunk egy alföldi, zöldségtermesztőket integráló termelői értékesítő szervezet (TÉSZ) működését kísérő kihívásokat és a szervezet integrációs modelljének változásait elemzi egy empirikus kutatás eredményei alapján. A szóban forgó TÉSZ a szentesi termelőszövetkezetek által alakított integrátori modellből nőtt ki a rendszerváltást követően. A válság ellenére talpon maradó szövetkezet kezdeményezte az önálló termelőket integráló szervezet lét…
Policy reform instead of policy transformation? Experiences of participatory action research (PAR) on desegregation policy in Szeged, Hungary
To move towards more just and ecologically sustainable societies, we must structurally transform our current socio-economic system at a deep level. Participatory Action Research makes much of this term ‘transformation’, yet on closer examination, the concept is not only conceptually but also practically vague. What exactly is required for socio-environmental spatial policies to be ‘transformational’? Our aims in this paper are twofold. First, we …
Újratermelődő „gettók”? A helyi fejlesztés lehetőségei és korlátai egy szélsőségesen marginalizált kistelepülésen
A szélsőséges társadalmi-térbeli marginalizáció eredményeként a társadalmilag kirekesztett csoportok területileg is koncentrálódnak, vidéki „gettókba” „záródnak” (Mihály 2019a). A szegregátumokban kialakuló, a többségi társadalomtól elzárt párhuzamos intézményrendszer (pl. szegregált iskola, óvoda, illegális bolt, közmunka) tovább nehezíti a helyiek számára a marginalizált helyzetből, terekből való kitörést. Ha a (társadalmi) teret a cselekvés fo…
