On Violent Conflict, Land Scarcity, and Power in an urban Frontier in Congo
The relationship between land and violent conflict in Africa has long been a focal point for scholarly inquiry and development policy. According to an influential neo-Malthusian narrative, violent land conflicts erupt when land scarcity, population pressure, and state failure combine. In this paper we join a growing corpus of researchers arguing that the links between violent conflict and land scarcity are not linear, but embedded in complex and …
Pushing the limits to participation in Argentina’s protected areas
This article analyzes the efforts to create and consolidate spaces for indigenous participation within a protected area in Argentina. It explores the significance of co-management in the indigenous Mapuche people’s struggles for autonomy over the decisions made within their ancestral territories. Co-management represents an important step towards institutional transformation in the relationship between park administration and people, but it is co…
Everyday property-making
Property rights are a major issue in cities marked by armed conflict in the global South. This article draws on research conducted in Bukavu, a city situated in the conflict-affected eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Using a relational theory of property and mixed methods, including 150 semi-structured interviews, surveys with 568 heads of households, case studies of land conflicts, and participant observation, we demonstrate that…
Struggles over Access to Shea Trees in Burkina Faso and Ghana
Class Dynamics at the Margins
In recent decades, the increasing international demand for shea nuts has resulted in changes to the livelihoods of women collecting and processing these nuts in West Africa. Market integration of shea nut collectors affects social dynamics as capitalist relations and significant income differences among the collectors emerge. Using survey data, we establish a typology to describe shea nut collectors, based on the financial capital that they inves…
Re-Imagining Land
Global production networks and medicinal plants
Knowledge of spatial and temporal actor dynamics in global production networks (GPNs) based on renewable natural resources remains rudimentary. This article contributes to reducing this knowledge gap by showing how upstream actors shape the territorial embeddedness and value dynamics (creation, enhancement, and capture of value) of GPNs. Empirically, we present a fine-grained analysis of the upstream section of the global production network for c…
Poverty Trap or Means to Escape Poverty? Empirical Evidence on the Role of Environmental Income in Rural Nepal
Understanding how poverty persists and how this affects environmental reliance has policy implications for poverty reduction and environmental conservation. Employing a panel data-set from rural Nepal, we shed light on this issue, using a combination of parametric and nonparametric models. Results show that, as a population, households will converge at a single equilibrium point in the long-term, hence indicating the absence of a poverty trap. Th…

Combining Household Income and Asset Data to Identify Livelihood Strategies and Their Dynamics
Current approaches to identifying and describing rural livelihood strategies, and household movements between strategies over time, in developing countries are imprecise. Here we: (i) present a new statistical quantitative approach combining income and asset data to identify household activity choice variables, characterise livelihood strategy clusters, and analyse movements between strategies, and (ii) apply the approach using an environmentally…
Livelihood Strategies and Dynamics in Rural Cambodia
Into the urban wild
Quantifying the economic contribution of wild food harvests to rural livelihoods
Traditional medicine for the rich and knowledgeable
Traditional medicine is commonly assumed to be a crucial health care option for poor households in developing countries. However, little research has been done in Asia to quantify the reliance on traditional medicine and its determinants. This research contributes to filling in this knowledge gap using household survey data collected from 571 households in three rural and peri-urban sites in Nepal in 2012. Questions encompassed household socioeco…
To process or not to process? Factors enabling and constraining shea butter production and income in Burkina Faso
Combining income and assets measures to include the transitory nature of poverty in assessments of forest dependence
Rural People’s Reliance on Forests and the Non-Forest Environment in West Africa
Deforestation and the Limited Contribution of Forests to Rural Livelihoods in West Africa
Contribution of “Women’s Gold” to West African Livelihoods
People, plants and health
BackgroundA large number of people in both developing and developed countries rely on medicinal plant products to maintain their health or treat illnesses. Available evidence suggests that medicinal plant consumption will remain stable or increase in the short to medium term. Knowledge on what factors determine medicinal plant consumption is, however, scattered across many disciplines, impeding, for example, systematic consideration of plant-base…
