Description of the research topic:
According to ecological economics, there is a need for socioeconomic transformation in order to make a move toward environmentally sustainable and socially just economic and social processes. The reason is that the incremental “greening” (environmental reform) might not be enough for a transition to sustainable and just socio-economic order.
Within present research topic doctoral students are supposed carry out research in relation to socioeconomic transformation/transition processes/initiatives which are aimed at sustainability and social justice on different spatial levels (from the local to the global).
In relation to research design, qualitative and especially cooperative and participatory research approaches are supported.
