How does rampant #assetisation and variation in #assetmanagement affect social conflicts? Our special issue co-edited with @theobourgeron.bsky.social in New Political Economy proposes a framework to analyse such asset struggles and brings together 7 papers with key empirical studies. 🧵

Second paper from our #assetstruggles SI now online: @hadoose.bsky.social makes the crucial point that asset struggles over climate governance not only include climate vulnerable & climate forcing assets – but that climate policy itself often takes an asset form, reconfiguring power. Check it out!

Incredibly happy and relieved that our special issue Asset Struggles co-edited with @theobourgeron.bsky.social is now accepted for publication at NPE! More on the issue soon. For now: a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been involved in this over the past few years – you are the best!

Mit sogenannten Share Deals können Unternehmen Grundstücke kaufen, ohne Grunderwerbsteuer zu zahlen. So zahlte Deutschlands größtes Immobilienunternehmen Vonovia keinen Cent Grunderwerbsteuer beim Erwerb des zweitgrößten Konkurrenten Deutsche Wohnen. 👉 s.gwdg.de/BUZZ9J @hadoose.bsky.social

In der neuen "Gesellschaftsforschung" nehme ich Share Deals und ihre nur zögerliche Regulierung unter die Lupe. Share Deals sind eine Konstruktion, die es großen Immobilienkonzernen ermöglicht, das kommunale Vorkaufsrecht & die Grunderwerbsteuer zu umgehen. Zum Beitrag: www.mpifg.de/1447256/2025...

Ewige Reformbaustelle: Ungleichheiten bei Immobiliendeals

Im Jahr 2021 übernahm Deutschlands größtes Immobilienunternehmen Vonovia den zweitgrößten Konkurrenten Deutsche Wohnen – ohne einen Cent Grunderwerbsteuer zu zahlen. Die dahinterstehende Kaufkonstruktion, die vor allem Großunternehmen nutzen können, sorgt immer wieder für Schlagzeilen: So beim schleppenden Wohnungsbauprojekt im Düsseldorfer Glasmacherviertel, das die LEG von der Adler Group unter Umgehung des kommunalen Vorkaufsrechts erwarb. Beide Beispiele funktionieren über Anteilskäufe, sogenannte Share Deals. Bereits zum dritten Mal in Folge versprechen Bundesregierungen in ihren Koalitionsverträgen, diese Schlupflöcher zu schließen. Seit 2015 hat es immer wieder Initiativen gegeben, auch auf Länderebene, um Share Deals bei Immobilien, inklusive landwirtschaftlicher Flächen, einzuschränken. Die aktuelle Koalition will das kommunale Vorkaufsrecht, das Recht von Städten und Gemeinden, beim Verkauf bestimmter Grundstücke als Käufer einzuspringen, dadurch stärken, dass sie die Umgehung durch Share Deals unterbindet. Doch was sind Share Deals und warum fällt es der Politik so schwer, sie zu begrenzen?

Dear Colleagues, On behalf my co-organisers, I am writing to invite abstract submissions for the ‘Re-centring land conflicts in the post-globalisation order’ mini-conference (MC11) as part of the SASE 2026 Conference in Bordeaux (1-3 July). sase.org/events/2026-... Deadline: December 16th

In this mini-conference, we are seeking to have a critical debate about land struggles over sovereignty, resources and means of survival. We are inviting folks to submit abstracts (no more than 1000 words) which raise land as the main object of analysis of power in a ‘post-globalisation order’. By seeking to re-centre the Land Question in contemporary socio and political economic debate and scholarship, we aim to illuminate how land and the power it confers shape institutions, create and mediate conflicts, and determine possibilities for both domination and resistance in an era marked by ecological crisis and geopolitical realignment.

We are particularly interested in hearing about research which speaks to one of our key themes:

1. Land conflicts and new imperialisms
2. Extractivism and resource conflicts
3. Digital infrastructure and the material internet
4. Institutions and power in the regulation of land
5. Consequences of urban and rural land concentration
6. Land rent and heterodox economics

📢 CALL FOR PAPERS 📢 "Moral Economies of the Polycrisis. Conflict, Critique, and Legitimation in Critical Times" Workshop, June 16-17 University of Hamburg Deadline for abstracts: 07/04 Supported by the Economic Sociology section of @dgsoziologie.bsky.social linuswestheuser.com/cfp-moral-ec...

Moral Economies of the Polycrisis
Conflict, Critique and Legitimation in Critical Times

International Workshop. 16-17 June 2025. University of Hamburg. Organizers: Laura Lüth (University of Hamburg), Till Hilmar (University of Vienna), and Linus Westheuser (Humboldt University Berlin).

By disrupting what is taken for granted, moments of economic, political, and ecological crisis reveal the implicit modus operandi of a society. As routines get derailed and settled arrangements come under strain, institutions are forced to explicate the “implicit social contract” (Barrington Moore) underpinning power, domination, and inequality. Who deserves protection when times get rough? Whose suffering matters and whose claims are made to count? Who is blamed? And what even counts as a crisis and what is shrugged off and fades into a ‘new normal’?

These questions touch on a tacit structure of social expectations commonly discussed under the heading of moral economy. Drawing on thinkers like E.P. Thompson, James C. Scott, or Marion Fourcade, the moral economy perspective examines expectations of unequal reciprocity and distributive claims in economic relations; ideas of systemic legitimacy resting on mutual obligations between dominant and dominated groups; or political priorities tied to assumptions about the (un)deservingness and moral worth of social groups. Moral economy approaches focalize the ideational and institutional architecture of capitalist societies by parsing how legitimacy and hegemony are embedded in everyday moral reasoning. In addition these approaches also often look at social practices, struggles, and forms of critique centered around the violation of moral claims.

At our workshop, we want to discuss work in the moral economy paradigm that sheds light on the current “polycrisis” composed of geopolitical turmoil, economic shocks, ecological breakdown, as well as crises of care and political legitimacy.

What can the moral economy perspective teach us about the way capitalist societies navigate these crises?
To what extent do crises open up a space in which dominated groups can critique inequality and demand a renegotiation of the implicit social contract?
How do demands and political responses informed by existing moral economies deepen inequality and domination?
How do institutions like the welfare state or social and eco-social policies seek to mend rifts in the moral economy?
What are moral background assumptions that make some developments (such as migration) but not others (such as poverty and extreme wealth) appear as crises?
And what is the explanatory status of moral economy as a concept? For instance, are popular moral sentiments and subjective aspirations a driver of political and economic action, or are they merely a symptom of existing power relations? Is moral economy about agency or structure? And if both, how exactly?

These are some of the questions we want to discuss with a group of international scholars.

We invite papers taking a moral economy perspective to empirically research or theorize the current conjuncture. Papers can be at all stages of development, the event is meant to collaboratively discuss work in progress. We especially welcome submissions from doctoral and post-doctoral researchers. Limited funds are available to assist with travel and accommodation for those lacking institutional support.

Please send an abstract of max. 500 words to: laura.lueth@uni-hamburg.de, till.hilmar@univie.ac.at and linus.westheuser@hu-berlin.de

Deadline for abstract submissions: 7 April, 2025

The workshop is supported by the Economic Sociology Section of the German Sociological Association (DGS), the Research Unit Economic Sociology at the University of Hamburg, and the Research Unit Macrosociology at Humboldt University Berlin.
