A Multi-Perspective Consideration of Transformation Processes in Europe and Beyond
摘要
Recent (geo)political, environmental, social, and economic developments demonstrate a world in constant flux, in response to which continuous structural transformations are necessary. Throughout this anthology, the aim is to illuminate theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches, and empirical insights relating to such transformation processes in Europe and beyond, with a special focus on the USA. In combination with considerations of the processes themselves, the approach to horizontal geographies runs like a common thread through the contributions of the interdisciplinary group of authors, offering significant potential for comparative analysis. The introductory remarks discuss the central characteristics of the transformations concerned, outline conceptual ideas of horizontal geographies, and present the structure of the anthology.
