“…Damit verbunden ist schließlich, dass Positionen, die einmal ins herrschende Recht eingeschrieben sind, qua juridischer Selektivität eine besondere Dauerhaftigkeit und Änderungsfestigkeit erlangen (Petzold, 2018). Vor diesem Hintergrund wird schließlich verständlich, warum die materialistische Rechtstheorie ein besonderes Augenmerk auf "Rechtskämpfe" (Pichl, 2021) Damit verbunden war zugleich ein Interesse am Wandel des Rechts selbst, der daraus resultiert, dass das Recht nicht mehr als bloß abstrakt-formaler Konfliktrahmen fungiert, sondern zu materiellen Steuerungszwecken genutzt wird -was Teubner (1984:306) als "Materialisierung des Formalrechts" bezeichnet.…”

Abstract. Accelerating and more comprehensive legislation and litigation indicate a new significance of law in recent years within climate change politics. However, this development has been scarcely reflected upon in German-language geographical research on climate change adaptation, which primarily focuses on climate adaptation politics and policies. In order to illuminate these issues, this article engages with the political and legal scientific debates on juridification; reflects these in the context of climate adaptation; and traces the processes of juridification of climate policies in the German context from a historical perspective. Intersecting with insights from legal geography, this contribution introduces the concept of „Legal Ecologies of Climate Change Adaptation“ as a novel and legally nuanced perspective. Within human geographic climate adaptation research, this perspective opens up new theoretical and conceptual interests, empirical domains, and possibilities for interdisciplinary collaboration.

“…General challenges include the financial restrictions faced by municipalities in Germany because of austerity politics, most notably the reduction of financial budgets (for a detailed description, see Petzold 2018). Our interviews illustrated that austerity works not only as a financial limitation upon the scope of policy-making, but it also shapes a discourse of balancing budgets and decreasing possibilities.…”

The progressive potential of urban politics is the subject of growing interest. However, debates have been largely focused on large cities with strong progressive constituencies of activists and Left-voting residents. We know little about the opportunities and challenges for progressive politics in smaller urban areas. This article addresses these shortcomings through a discussion of “progressive urbanism” in relation to small towns. In doing so, it makes three main contributions. First, it provides a definition of progressive urbanism as political projects of social justice, citizenship and democracy exploring the contingent potential of “localism”, “urban movements” and “municipal government”. Second, the article provides empirical insights on small towns in the German state of Brandenburg governed by mayors of the Left Party. Third, the article outlines challenges and opportunities of progressive urbanism in small towns, providing points of reflection for future research.

“…The debt brake, understood as the prohibition of structural debt, is generally interpreted as the most striking indicator of the emergence of austerity as a crisis resolution strategy (Blyth, 2013) that marks the transition to a consolidation state (Streeck, 2014) or austerity state (Jessop, 2018). While a rich body of literature has analysed the effects of austerity policies on different scales (Kitson et al, 2011;Peck et al, 2013;Petzold, 2018), in this paper we aim to trace the evolutionary processes of the austerity policy shift in territorial development policy.…”

This paper examines the territorial development reforms in the federal state of Bavaria, Germany between 2008 and 2018 in light of the rise of austerity policies, introducing the concept of ‘austere federalism’ as a new state spatial process in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. Methodologically, the paper draws on the historical-materialist policy analysis and identifies three processes – municipalisation, competitisation, and responsibilisation – as key elements of a new hegemonic project. Our findings suggest that the years following the crisis saw a paradigm shift in spatial planning taking place, characterised by a carrot-and-stick policy of planning deregulation and austerity discipline. Rather than diminishing disparities, however, this shift runs the risk of exacerbating spatial inequality.
