Résumé -- Index. 330 $aThis book addresses the highly differentiated spatial, social, cultural and demographic structure(s) of Germany, with a particular focus on the reciprocal relations between different levels of spatial development. The historical development of Germany serves as a background in order to provide context for the development of spatially relevant ideas and ideals (whether in relation to politics, landscape, or culture). In this regard, questions of divergence and convergence become highly salient. The book makes the complexity of spatial and social developments in Germany comprehensible. The neopragmatic approach adopted here allows bringing together different theoretical strands while providing a basis for independent regional geographic research at the same time. Beginning with an overview of the physical structures of Germany which provides the material point of departure for the societal development of Germany, key aspects of the German history are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the reciprocal influence between material substrate and notions of landscape. Here, specific ?German? trajectories of aesthetic and normative conceptions of landscape become clear. A common theme throughout the book are questions of divergence and of efforts towards convergence, which become evident when considering past and present economic, political, and demographic developments. Efforts to tackle current challenges, such as adapting to climate change and mitigating it, or securing raw materials, also become apparent. The complexity of spatial processes in Germany is illustrated in case study regions dealing with the challenges of structural change in traditional industrial regions (such as the Ruhr area), or e.g. efforts of Berlin to position and find itself as the capital of a unified Germany. Overall, the book shows how theory-driven regional geographic research can make spatiotemporal complexities tangible and comprehensible. 410 0$aWorld Regional Geography Book Series,$x2363-9091 606 $aGeography 606 $aRegional economics 606 $aSpace in economics 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aEcology 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aRegional Geography 606 $aRegional and Spatial Economics 606 $aGeography 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aDevelopment Studies 615 0$aGeography. 615 0$aRegional economics. 615 0$aSpace in economics. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 14$aRegional Geography. 615 24$aRegional and Spatial Economics. 615 24$aGeography. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aDevelopment Studies. 676 $a914.3 676 $a914.3 700 $aKu?hne$b Olaf$f1973-$01251886 702 $aWeber$b Florian$c(Economics historian), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910551837403321 996 $aGermany$92921911 997 $aUNINA
