Eigenes Forschungsprojekt
Contestations around the Public Good and the Future of the Commons: Property Relations in the Context of Welfare Transformation (C04 with Prof. Silke van Dyk)
The research project inquires into the role of commons to address the social question in the context of austerity politics and the impact on (local) property regimes. We consider the empirical interplay across three levels: First, the research examines the processes of welfare re-structuring and disembedding in Spain and Great Britain since 2008, and then, secondly, considers their implementation and contestations (including strategies of re-municipalization) in two urban contexts (Barcelona and Liverpool). Third, we look at civic initiatives in the metropolitan regions that seek to close gaps in public services on the basis of commoning practices and how they relate to their contexts politically.
