Advanced seminar
SoSe 23: Regional Inequalities
Stefan Liebig
Comments
Regional and spatial disparities are playing a growing role in scientific, public, and political debates on social inequality and social change. Economic opportunities are more limited in structurally weak areas, where e.g. processes of regional emigration and demographic change exacerbate the ero-sion of local infrastructures and opportunities, with far-reaching implications for people’s economic and social prospects. Residents of structurally strong regions, in turn, may profit from infrastructural expansion and increasing demand, but also experience rising living expenses (particularly for homes and rental housing), gentrification, and displacement. There is a large body of social science research examining these regional developments and especially their effects on the social oppor-tunities of individuals and households. This seminar provides an insight into this field of research. Theoretical concepts of "regional inequalities" will be introduced and the current state of research on the most important dimensions of social inequalities discussed. close
