This is the first book to explore ways of conceptualizing Germany’s ongoing energy transition. Although widely acclaimed in policy and research circles worldwide, the Energiewende is poorly understood in terms of social science scholarship. There is an urgent need to delve beyond descriptive accounts of policy implementation and contestation in order to unpack the deeper issues at play in what has been termed a 'grand societal transformation.' The authors approach this in three ways: First, they select and characterize conceptual approaches suited to interpreting the reordering of institutional arrangements, socio-material configurations, power relations and spatial structures of energy systems in Germany and beyond. Second, they assess the value of these concepts in describing and explaining energy transitions, pinpointing their relative strengths and weaknesses and exploring areas of complementarity and incompatibility. Third, they illustrate how these concepts can be applied – individually and in combination – to enrich empirical research of Germany’s energy transition. .

Der Wandel der Energiewirtschaft hin zu mehr Stromerzeugung aus erneuerbaren Energien spielt sich in physisch-materieller Hinsicht in Landschaften ab. Er wird von Praktikern der Raum- und Landschaftsplanung teils mit Skepsis und teils mit positiven Erwartungen begleitet. In dem Band wird den Fragen nachgegangen, welche Folgen die Energiewende auf die ästhetische Bewertung von Landschaften hat, welche neuen Akteurskonstellationen entstanden sind und welche Konflikte um das Landschaftsbild, die Landnutzung oder die Verteilung von Macht zu verzeichnen sind. Es werden die Konsequenzen der Umbrüche hin zu „neuen Energielandschaften“ für die Landschaftsforschung, aber auch für räumliche Planung und Governance thematisiert.   Der Inhalt • Akteure, Governance und Diskurse • Sichtweisen auf die Veränderung von Landschaften • Planungswissenschaftliche Ansätze Die Zielgruppen SozialwissenschaftlerInnen Landschafts- und RegionalplanerInnen GeographInnen Die Herausgeber Ludger Gailing arbeitet seit 2003 als Wissenschaftler im Leibniz-Institut für Regionalentwicklung und Strukturplanung (IRS) in Erkner. Dr. Markus Leibenath arbeitet seit 2000 als Wissenschaftler im Leibniz-Institut für ökologische Raumentwicklung (IÖR) in Dresden.
