Projekt
Summary
This dissertation project deals with governance and (neoliberal) governmentality perspectives in the
socio-ecological mobility transformation. Its contribution is twofold: First, it aims to expand the
academic literature on multimodality and mobility hubs by developing a multi-level governance
framework. Second, it elaborates multi-level governance frameworks and underlying power relations
more critically based on the concepts of governmentality and dispositf as developed in the late work
of Michel Foucault. Based on these perspectives, the overall research question for this project is how
multimodal mobility can be realized and thereby contribute to a sustainable transformation.
Methodologically, it follows an interpretive research design. It combines theoretical approaches of
governmentality research with political science approaches of multi-level governance and applies
them to empirical case studies investigating urban contexts and local mobility policies. Examining
governmental power at the societal and individual levels allows for a critical demarcation from the
neoliberal paradigm and a reflection on the dominant logic of technical optimization and focus on
market-based solutions. Ultimately, it contributes to a holistic understanding of socio-ecological
mobility transformation, identifies obstacles, and allows for practical recommendations on
successfully implementing an attractive, widespread, and equitable multimodal transport system. The
dissertation project is designed as a publication-based dissertation.Research Group
