Impacts of climate change, such as sea-level rise and changes in annual precipitation, are becoming increasingly visible around the world and within Germany, thus increasing pressures to adapt. Forces of stability and change within established policy fields greatly determine the extent to which governance systems can adapt to worsening existing risks and new challenges. Employing a lock-in perspective and a comparative analysis of the governance of coastal risks in Schleswig-Holstein and water scarcity in Thuringia, we show how infrastructures, institutions, actors, and cognitive framing shape policy landscapes and together constitute dynamics of policy stability and change in the face of long-term climate impacts. This paper offers a comprehensive, systemic perspective of how adaptation challenges fit into established policy paradigms and programs as it highlights how non-material and material components are intertwined and can act as constraints to policy-making.... view less

Die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels, wie etwa der Anstieg des Meeresspiegels oder zunehmende Dürre und Wassermangel, werden vermehrt auch in Deutschland spürbar und erzeugen einen wachsenden politischen Handlungsbedarf. Widerstreitende Kräfte von Wandel und Stabilität innerhalb etablierter Politikfelder bestimmen dabei, inwieweit sich bestehende Governancesysteme an diese neuen Herausforderungen und Klimarisiken anzupassen vermögen. Mithilfe eines Lock-in-Ansatzes und einer vergleichenden Analyse zweier Fallstudien zur Governance von Küstenrisiken in Schleswig-Holstein und von Niedrigwasser in Thüringen verdeutlicht dieser Beitrag, wie das Zusammenspiel von Infrastrukturen, Institutionen, Akteuren und kognitiven Frames die Stabilität bzw. den Wandel etablierter Politikfelder vor dem Hintergrund langfristiger Klimarisiken beeinflusst. Damit zeigt dieser Beitrag eine übergreifende, systemische Perspektive auf, um zu erfassen, inwieweit bestehende Politikfelder mit ihren etablierten Programmen und Paradigmen fähig und geeignet sind, neuen politischen Problemlagen zu begegnen, und wie materielle und immaterielle Faktoren den politischen Handlungsspielraum begrenzen.... view less
