Abstract

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.

巴伐利亚州在空间正义与严格联邦制之间的领土发展:巴伐利亚地区发展政治与政策的历史唯物主义政策分析，2008-2018

本文考察了2008年至2018年德国巴伐利亚联邦州在紧缩政策兴起的背景下的领土发展改革，引入了“紧缩联邦制”的概念，作为全球金融危机后新的国家空间过程。在方法论上，本文借鉴了历史唯物主义的政策分析，并确定了三个过程——市政化、竞争化和责任化——作为新霸权计划的关键要素。我们的研究结果表明，在危机之后的几年里，空间规划发生了范式转变，其特点是规划放松管制和紧缩纪律的胡萝卜加大棒政策。然而，这种转变非但没有缩小差距，反而有加剧空间不平等的风险。

期刊介绍： Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space is a pluralist and heterodox journal of economic research, principally concerned with questions of urban and regional restructuring, globalization, inequality, and uneven development. International in outlook and interdisciplinary in spirit, the journal is positioned at the forefront of theoretical and methodological innovation, welcoming substantive and empirical contributions that probe and problematize significant issues of economic, social, and political concern, especially where these advance new approaches. The horizons of Economy and Space are wide, but themes of recurrent concern for the journal include: global production and consumption networks; urban policy and politics; race, gender, and class; economies of technology, information and knowledge; money, banking, and finance; migration and mobility; resource production and distribution; and land, housing, labor, and commodity markets. To these ends, Economy and Space values a diverse array of theories, methods, and approaches, especially where these engage with research traditions, evolving debates, and new directions in urban and regional studies, in human geography, and in allied fields such as socioeconomics and the various traditions of political economy.
