Navigating conflictual cooperation: Temporary power coalitions in the planning and approval of large-scale Chinese green technology projects in Eastern Germany

In: Conflicts in urban future-making: Governance, institutions, and transformative change, Editors: Monika Grubbauer, Alessandra Manganelli, Louis Volont

Langguth examines the diverse conflicts arising during the planning and approval procedures of two large-scale Chinese green technology projects in Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt in Eastern Germany. He uses these conflicts as analytical windows to explore the underlying interests and power dynamics between planning, administration, and policy professionals, as well as their cooperation partners – including Chinese investors, subcontractors, and German car manufacturers.
