Such (potentially) crisis-like developments take place on different levels of spatial scale in the local over the regional to the global context, but are closely intertwined.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Development research makes use of a wide range of instruments in its empirical case studies at all levels. At the same time, there is also the demand for a conceptual location of the empirical studies. On the one hand, this means that we orient ourselves to (more recent) theoretical models and concepts. On the other hand, our projects should ideally also contribute to the further development of theoretical concepts or eliminate explanatory deficits. The theory orientation is complemented by references to development practice: By trying to expose and question different perspectives and to empirically substantiate development processes, we can ideally point out ways for problem solutions to stakeholders and decision-makers in development cooperation and policy. We are always aware of the problem of the concept of development. Such understood geographic development research works in a committed and practical way, but with clear theoretical references.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"\"><div class=\"accordion\">\n<div class=\"\"><div class=\"accordion-group inherit\"><h3 class=\"accordion-heading\"><span class=\"read-mode-only\">Arbeitsgruppen<\/span><button class=\"accordion-toggle\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-name=\"panel_f3851803\" data-href=\"#panel_f3851803\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"panel_f3851803\">Arbeitsgruppen<\/button><\/h3><div id=\"panel_f3851803\" class=\"accordion-body\" aria-labelledby=\"panel_f3851803\" role=\"region\"><div class=\"accordion-inner clearfix\">\n\n<p><br>Detailed information and current projects can be found on the pages of the working groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a title=\"AG Kr\u00fcger\" href=\"https:\/\/geographie.cms.rrze.uni-erlangen.de\/forschung\/ag-krueger\/\">WG Routines and Ruptures in Cultures and Cities<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geographie.nat.fau.de\/en\/forschung\/ag-pohle\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.geographie.nat.fau.de\/en\/forschung\/ag-pohle\/\">WG Development Research: Rural Change &amp; Development<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rrze-elements-collapse \"><div class=\"accordion-group \"><h2 class=\"accordion-heading\"><button class=\"accordion-toggle\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-name=\"urban-studies-and-regional-development-research\" data-href=\"#urban-studies-and-regional-development-research\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"urban-studies-and-regional-development-research-section\" id=\"urban-studies-and-regional-development-research\">Urban studies and regional development research<\/button><\/h2><div id=\"urban-studies-and-regional-development-research-section\" class=\"accordion-body \" aria-labelledby=\"urban-studies-and-regional-development-research\" role=\"region\" name=\"urban-studies-and-regional-development-research\"><div class=\"accordion-inner clearfix\">\n\n<p><em>The development of cities and regions is a highly complex process.
