| Summary: | In eleven propositions the article surrounds an ambivalent theme. It is related to the conditions found in Departments of Geography in German-speaking countries.
– On the one hand it pleads for a diseiplinary strategy to
integrate various human and physical geographies to
constitute a neo-holistic geography. This could contribute
to shape geography as a centre of competence for
current issues of regional and urban development. The
complex concept of sustainability – taken in its threefold
meaning as ecological. economic and social sustainability-lends itself as asound basis for this integrative
strategy. – On the other hand well-established
career routines of young scientists are a strong hindering
factor. These career paths require a degree of topical
specialization which runs counter to serious Steps of integration. |
