It identifies emerging frontiers of environmental justice research and introduces the contributions of this special issue. Finally, we call for further research on the role of the state in environmental justice struggles and for more participatory methodologies in environmental justice research.

Hierzu zählen bspw. der methodologische Individualismus (Werlen), der methodische Situationalismus (Knorr Cetina), die transitive Methodologie (Schäfer), eine Praxeologisierung des Blicks (Schmidt) oder zyklische Verfahren zwischen Datengenerierung und Reflexion wie etwa in der Grounded Theory. Darüber hinaus stellt sich die Frage, wie mit der praxistheoretischen Grundannahme umzugehen ist, dass nicht nur empirische Forschung, sondern konsequenterweise auch jegliche wissenschaftliche Theoriebildung als Praxis verstanden werden muss. Eine Antwort darauf ist der Anspruch an die Forscher*innen, ihre Positionalität zu reflektieren. Hierzu reichen aber gesellschaftlich fixierte soziale Differenzkategorien nicht aus. Ebenso genügt auch nicht eine Reflexion der professionellen Perspektive, die man in Ausübung des Berufes als Wissenschaftler*in einnimmt. Eine angemessene Reflexion schließt vielmehr die konkreten Situationen und Positionalitäten, die im Forschungsprozess hervorgebracht werden, mit ein. Darüber hinaus stellt dieses Kapitel die Konsequenzen dar, die sich daraus ergeben, wenn man Methoden der empirischen Sozialforschung konsequent als Praktiken begreift. Methoden, verstanden als Praktiken, werden erst im Vollzug existent und dabei auf eine von vielen potentiellen Möglichkeiten fixiert. So kann es weder die eine »richtige« Ausführung einer Methode geben noch ein durch diese Methoden gewonnenes »wahres« Ergebnis. Forschende, Beforschte, Methode sowie Ergebnis bringen sich gegenseitig situativ hervor und konstituieren sich nur im Vollzug des Forschens. In diesem Sinne ist die Fähigkeit zentral, Methoden adäquat an die jeweilige Forschungssituation anpassen zu können.

In particular, the emerging calls for ‘food sovereignty’ (FS) and ‘migrate with dignity’ (MWD) show how most vulnerable groups from the Global South, i.e. small-scale farmers and inhabitants of small Pacific islands, respond to deteriorating environments by claiming universal and emancipatory rights ‘from below’. These contestations show that the struggle over land is tied not only to the potential loss of physical resources but also to the struggle over cultural and political sovereignty, as well as to the emergence of post-national forms of citizenship. In drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Bolivia and Kiribati, where these claims – FS in the former case, MWD in the latter – are currently being negotiated and fought over, this contribution aims to sketch a ‘geography of emerging rights' to make transnational politico-legal responses to environmental injustice visible and understandable. Conceptually, it draws on the assumption that, by now, environmental justice research has paid too little attention to the sphere of 'the legal', and that conversely, legal geography research has been reluctant to analyze dimensions of law and social order within deteriorating environments. This contribution thus discusses analytical entry points from legal geography, legal anthropology, and political theory in order to bring these disciplines into dialogue with empirically grounded research on movements struggling for land and sovereignty.

This chapter takes a closer look at the different types of rural municipalities in the vicinity of metropolitan areas in the northern part of Germany. Methodology – The examination of the most important dimensions of rural development was done by means of a factor analysis. A cluster analysis was conducted in order to identify certain categories of municipal development paths and to ascertain possible causes for their spatial distribution (e.g., central-peripheral or regional). Findings – Five different types of development paths were identified: urban, residential, growing, agricultural and stagnant municipalities. The spatial distribution of these clusters suggests that the development of exurban areas is more fragmented than general explanations may suggest. Development paths which resemble a “rural gentrification” may first of all be found in “urban municipalities” and “residential municipalities”. Anyway, often in immediate vicinity to these municipalities we either find municipalities which are characterized by a rapid growth of the population or still show clear traces of a local dominance of agriculture. Local development paths are shaped by a multitude of factors reaching from macro-economic impulses to the implications of regional planning and further down to the local socio-political dynamics in the municipality itself. Originality/value of chapter – The chapter analyses data on periurban development in Germany and contribute in this way to the scientific discourse on periurbanity in Western Europe.
