Students:Summer school 2012

Case study - Ore mountains & Most region

The ISPoS Summer School is concentrated on the local problems of a specific region where the huge impacts of supra-regional industries are visible. Like last year, we will use the opportunities to see and experience the situation on site. Aditionally, we will not only explore and describe the current situation but also reflect upon it (in case studies), apply theoretical concepts (social capital), and analyse it using the actor analysis method applied to the local situation. We will deliver the results of our deliberations to the local inhabitants in public hearnig organized at the end of the week.
