  • At a time marked by intensive transnational interaction at all levels and in all fields of society, it may appear anachronistic and indeed almost absurd to present a collection of essays designed to inform the geographical community in one of Germany’s neighbouring states, of all places, about German perspectives under a transnational heading. The explanation is as simple as it is embarrassing: geographers on both sides of the River Rhine publish the greater part of their research findings in either German or French, so that highly effective language barriers lead to an inadequate or much delayed reception of ideas in the neighbouring states. Although the publication of summaries or overview articles in English could alleviate the negative effects of this regrettable situation, this strategy is not the rule in either country. Thus it is indeed legitimate to present ideas and findings, some of which have already been published, to fellow geographers in the neighbouring country. The contributions contained in the following are concerned with a group of issues that have also attracted growing interest in the French geographical community in recent times. An example is the initiative of the However, it is true both of Germany and of France that the growing significance of civil society actors in a large range of thematic fields and arenas since the last third of the 20 In Germany, where political geography led a shadow existence for a long time after 1945 because of its geopolitical entanglement in the 20 The following contributions reflect important aspects of these approaches, while simultaneously augmenting them with themes and perspectives that have not yet been systematically studied in Germany or abroad. At the same time they are deeply embedded in geographical debates which are of major significance in Germany, as evident in the linguistically ambiguous German term While the following contributions are therefore intrinsically closely interconnected, they do of course merely represent selected aspects of a much broader debate in Germany. However, readers will have no difficulty in acquiring comprehensive information on many further issues and approaches in the German discourse on the basis of the geographical and general literature discussed in each chapter. Thus the first part of Bläser’s/Soyez’ joint contribution quite deliberately begins with a broad conceptual introduction that also includes ideas from the most important political and social sciences disciplines in Germany and abroad. In the second part of their article they concentrate on examples, mostly from the area of economic geography and relating to the spatial effects - and some spatial preconditions – of the activities of transnational civil society actors which they analyse and categorize from a geographical point of view. Bläser’s article, in contrast, focuses on the influence of spatial specificity on the actions of these actors, understood as chance spatial structures characterised by both opportunities and limitations, using the examples of two European nodes of transnational civil society activity, i.e. Brussels and Geneva. Of fundamental interest in this context is the evidence that the embeddedness of actors in a local institutional context is perceived as essential to the success of their activities, even in the context of transnational issues. Langer’s contribution shifts its perspective to locations in many parts of the world, but with an unusual emphasis: the worldwide network analysed here targets only one company and its subsidiary branches. He is interested in the direct spatial action of the actors, which can be measured in the company’s environmental behaviour at different locations, whereby particular attention is paid to the role of non-codified knowledge in the network. Finally, the chapter by Flitner aims to expand the issues discussed so far into a new direction. Using the example of the conflicts surrounding the issue of noise pollution caused by Basle-Mulhouse airport in the Swiss-French-German border triangle, he demonstrates the necessity of augmenting the geographical interest in The key concepts of this last contribution – justice, recognition, power – direct the reader’s attention to fields that have hardly been examined in any detail in the existing geographical literature in the field of transnational civil society actors. Interesting links can be made with the growing significance of a first world political ecology, where the new political actors apparently enjoy growing significance. This should not distract us from the fact that there has been practically no research on NGOs in authoritarian state systems or in so-called In this context we can return to the theme of the CNFG conference mentioned in the first paragraph, with the following modification: NGOs and other civil society actors may not be “les nouveaux maîtres des territoires”, but they do shape and alter space, spatial processes and spatial imagination so radically 174 that they have become an essential topic of geographical research. We would like to express our gratitude to the editors and peer reviewers of the Annales de géographie for their generous support of this project. Similar synopses of the work of French geographers in German geographical journals are equally necessary – and would be most welcome... Dietrich Soyez 5a8
