Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course provides an introduction into selected core themes of the geography of innovation and sustainability transitions. The main focus is on current issues, theoretical approaches, methods and empirical examples related to
- Alternative forms of green regional development,
- Transformation processes of socio-technical systems such as mobility, energy and food,
- Transformative socioeconomic resilience, and
- Emerging approaches to innovation and industrial policies.
The aim is to provide students with basic skills to understand, critically discuss, and analyse the transformation of socio-economic structures and processes in space and over time in the era of grand societal challenges.
The underlying core questions are: Why are there places that are leading the way and making significant change toward new socioeconomic structures, while other places are lagging behind? What economic, institutional, social and political factors at what spatial scale shape socioeconomic change? What are the conditions and pathways that lead to change or resistance? What or who are the driving and detracting forces?
Course approach: lectures, mini assignments prepared with assigned literature, student presentations (related to one of the core topics), reflection paper
