A rich corpus of literature exists on traveling knowledges, their carriers, and connectivities. Yet there is less emphasis on how trajectories of mobility themselves, and the knowledges that circulate coevolve in the process of travel. In this article, we propose "epistemic mobilities" as a conceptual lens with which to empirically trace the transfer and translation of knowledges and practices as they come to be embedded in existing and new social realities. We draw inspiration from technological and policy interventions for living with sea-level change across two cases studies on Jakarta and Manila, and ask how these policies and practices constantly morph when being translated into specific sociopolitical and ecological contexts. We argue that the translocal transforming of adaptation practices and policies, within their contexts of arrival and negotiation, are key to conceptualizing "epistemic mobilities" via local systems and processes of socioinstitutional change.

'nordwest2050' hat untersucht, wie vulnerabel das politisch-administrative System in der Metropolregion Bremen-Oldenburg im Hinblick auf den Klimawandel ist und wie die Klimaanpassung aussehen sollte, um diese Vulnerabilität zu reduzieren. Die vorliegende Analyse konzentriert sich auf die Sensitivität und die Anpassungskapazität in der Region. Dabei wurden die sektorübergreifenden Steuerungsbemühungen zur Klimaanpassung in der Region analysiert sowie einzelne Funktionsbereiche detailliert für sich genommen betrachtet. Das sind der Hochwasserschutz, Küstenschutz, Bevölkerungs- und Katastrophenschutz, Wasserwirtschaft sowie Raum- und Regionalplanung. Bei der Bestimmung der Anpassungskapazität folgt die Studie dem politikwissenschaftlichen Ansatz von Gupta et al. (2010).

Der nordwest2050-Werkstattbericht Nr. 17 dokumentiert die Ergebnisse eines eintägigen Workshops, der zum Ziel hatte, Rahmenszenarien der Governance in der Nordwest-Region zu bestimmen. Es wurde eine Form der explorativen Szenariotechnik gewählt, deren Ziel es ist, Szenarien für mögliche Entwicklungspfade und denkbare zukünftige Situationen zu erstellen. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Frage "Was kann passieren?" Die von den Teilnehmenden des Workshops bestimmten Treiber bzw. Einflussfaktoren der Entwicklung der Nordwest-Region umfassen veränderte Formen von Staatlichkeit, veränderte Formen von Partizipation, Normen und Werte und entsprechende Prozesse des Wertewandels, der Umgang mit Randgruppen und Konflikten, die wirtschaftlichen Verhältnisse im Großen wie im Kleinen, sowie das Verhältnis von Regionen zueinander. Diese Treiber wurden im Rahmen von vier Szenarien situiert, die im Werkstattbericht ausführlich beschrieben werden: autoritärer Staat, starker Bürger-Staat, Gemeinwesen in Bürgerhand und Postdemokratie.

Marine coastal governance encompasses the formal and informal processes of interaction and decision-making of actors involved in any issue of public interest regarding the marine and coastal environment. This report focuses primarily on summarizing and describing the main state-driven processes related to the governance of the coastal fisheries and (marine) aquaculture sectors (i.e. mariculture) in Peru. However, we also explain the predominant tensions between resource-based development regulations and key user groups. These tensions include strategies of contestation and adaptation of users which can involve or relate to informal and illegal processes in marine and coastal resource management. In a short introduction we will first provide context to the described processes by framing them with broader debates about the ways in which resource-based development is organized in Peru, namely privately owned and centralized, and discursively naturalized through narratives that prioritize economic growth over sustainability. The following second section provides the broader institutional background of fisheries and aquaculture governance by sketching the cornerstones of the Peruvian legal and political systems. The third section of the report is dedicated to the governance of fisheries, especially artisanal and small-scale fisheries, paying special attention to the mech-anisms of different fishing access regimes. Peruvian artisanal and small-scale fishing is one of the most relevant economic activities of the Humboldt Current Upwelling System (HCUS) as it provides the majority of fish for domestic human consumption, targeting more than 300 species, and employing four times more people than the industrial fisheries. The fourth and last section then focuses on the governance of mariculture following the same structure as the previous one. In this section, the information presented is being related to the specific case of the Peruvian bay scallop [Argopecten purpuratus]. Together with the whiteleg shrimp [Litopenaeus vannamei], this species makes up for more than 99 percent of commercial mariculture in Peru over the last decades, and it is of particular importance in the two main research areas of our study. The fifth and sixth subsectionsof the governance of fisheries (i.e. third section) and mariculture (i.e. fourth section) describe the limits of current governance and important lines of conflicts respectively.
