Lessons for human survival in a world without ecological templates
Kaaronen, R. O., M. A. Manninen, E. Roe, J. I. Hukkinen, and J. T. Eronen. 2021. Lessons for human survival in a world without ecological templates: what can we learn from small-scale societies? Ecology and Society 26(3):2. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-12476-260302
Food supply chains and the antimicrobial resistance challenge
This paper presents a critique of supply chain responses to a particular global wicked problem - antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It evaluates the understanding of AMR (and drug-resistant infections) as a food system challenge and critically explores how responsibility for addressing it is framed and implemented. We place the spotlight on the AMR strategies applied in UK retailers' domestic poultry and pork supply chains. This provides a timely an…
Attuning to laboratory animals and telling stories
Posthumanism has challenged the social sciences and humanities to rethink anthopocentricism within the cultures and societies they study and to take account of more-than-human agencies and perspectives. This poses key methodological challenges, including a tendency for animal geographies to focus very much on the human side of human-animal relations and to fail to acknowledge animals as embodied, lively, articulate political subjects. In this pap…
Exploring the Role of Animal Technologists in Implementing the 3Rs
The biomedical industry relies on the skills of animal technologists (ATs) to put laboratory animal welfare into practice. This is the first study to explore how this is achieved in relation to their participation in implementing refinement and reduction, two of the three key guiding ethical principles--the "3Rs"--of what is deemed to be humane animal experimentation. The interpretative approach contributes to emerging work within the social scie…
Environmental Ethics
Environmental ethics is interested in probing how humans rationalize the relationship they have with the nonhuman world of plants, animal, rivers, geological landforms, and so on, and the morally right or wrong thing to do. Both anthropocentric and nonanthropocentric approaches to studying environmental ethics are discussed. Illustrative examples are drawn primarily from the rise in concern for the welfare of animals in UK society and globally. C…
Policy messes and their management
Becoming ecological citizens
Engaging the interest of Western citizens in the complex food connections that shape theirs' and others' personal wellbeing around issues such as food security and access is challenging. This article is critical of the food marketplace as the site for informing consumer behaviour and argues instead for arts-based participatory activities to support the performance of ecological citizens in non-commercial spaces. Following the ongoing methodologic…
Experimental partnering
This paper proposes that established research techniques can be developed in new directions by becoming attentive to the ways in which novel epistemological and ontological frameworks can shape the production of research knowledges. Drawing upon ideas from performance theory and science studies, and two brief fieldwork examples – archival research on the MRC’s Common Cold Unit and participant observation of the challenge of moving a herd of cattl…

Working for Policy
Toward a Comparative Framework for Measuring Resilience in Critical Infrastructure Systems
A major problem in building community resilience in the face of disasters is understanding resilience as an organizational property. A fundamental problem in this understanding is the imbalance in disaster research between the large number of variables and the relatively few cases involved. While resilience is a complex process with many variables at work in determining outcomes, disasters afford far fewer cases with which to compare and understa…
A control room metric for evaluating success and failure in high reliability crisis management
The focus of this article is specific: we propose a metric for evaluating crises that start in or require the response of control rooms of major critical infrastructures. Rather than addressing the vexed issue of how to evaluate crisis management in terms of success or failure, we focus on a subset of crises that carry with them a standard for evaluating how they are managed. We begin with a central focus in research on high reliability managemen…
Governance for the Environment
Ethics, Space, and Somatic Sensibilities
Drawing on geographies of affect and nature - society relations, we propose a radical rethinking of how scientists, social scientists, and regulatory agencies conceptualise human and animal participants in scientific research. The scientific rationale for using animal bodies to simulate what could be done in human bodies emphasises shared somatic capacities that generate comparable responses to clinical interventions. At the same time, regulatory…
From Ethical Principles to Response-Able Practice
Chapter 3 of When Species Meet opens with a fictional encounter between a laboratory animal caretaker and the guinea pigs he works with. The laboratory is used to research sleeping sickness in cattle. As part of the experimental process, guinea pigs are shaved and placed in tight little baskets, wire cages filled with biting flies are placed over them, and their skins are painted with poisons to see if these sicken the flies. During a discussion …
Geographies of food
This third and final 'Geographies of food' review is based on an online blog conversation provoked by the first and second reviews in the series (Cook et al., 2006; 2008a). Authors of the work featured in these reviews - plus others whose work was not but should have been featured - were invited to respond to them, to talk about their own and other people's work, and to enter into conversations about - and in the process review - other/new work w…
Preventing Transboundary Crises
Setbacks—unanticipated, unwanted, and often sudden checks on moving forward—are common in crisis prevention. Managing setbacks, however, is rarely discussed. Even less discussed is the central role that setback management can play in preventing transboundary crises across interdependent critical infrastructures for electricity, water, transportation, and financial services. With a focus on the ongoing financial crisis and on strategies for resili…
Towards a Geography of Bodily Biotechnologies
Guest Editorial. Since Katz and Kirby (1991) noted the challenge biotechnology presented to existing understandings of the relationship between an externalised nature and the human individual, geographers have increasingly begun to venture into the complex and fascinating spaces mapped out by advances in the life sciences. The political, economic, cultural, and theoretical implications of hybrid entities, such as genetically modified (GM) foods, …
Three—Not Two—Major Environmental Counternarratives to Globalization
Opposition to globalization by environmentalists tends to fall into two camps: a so-called “green” counternarrative and an “ecological” one. The green counter-narrative assumes that we have already witnessed sufficient harm done to the environment due to globalization and thus prescribes taking action now to oppose further globalizing forces. It is confident in its knowledge about the causes of environmental degradation as they relate to globaliz…
High-Reliability Bandwidth Management in Large Technical Systems
A great deal of interest has arisen among organization theorists and practitioners about the high-reliability management of large hazardous technical systems and society's critical service infrastructures. However, much of the reliability analysis is centered on particular organizations that have command and control over their technical cores. Many technical systems, including large-scale water supplies and deregulated electricity generation, are…

Poverty, Defense, and the Environment
In addition to being uncertain and complex, the policy world is incomplete; at any point in time, most of the work of policy makers and policy analysts is unfinished or yet to be done. Policy incompleteness, uncertainty, and complexity have made fastthinking imperative: just-in-time thinking to match our just-in-time schedules in our just-interrupted task environments. The usual remedy, more deliberation, is frequently no longer possible and, eve…

Global warming as analytic tip
Global warming, like many other environmental controversies, mixes pervasive uncertainty with the certainties of expert (but contradictory) opinion. How can we know who is right about global warming, if the only things we have to work with are the scientists’ competing scenarios, the truth‐value of which has yet to be established? One approach is to rely on narrative policy analysis to identify the non‐scientific, but policy‐relevant role played …

Lantern on the Stern
If men could learn from history, what lessons it might teach us! But passion and party blind our eyes, and the light which experience gives is a lantern on the stern, which shines only on the waves behind us! Coleridge A contradiction hitherto not adequately examined exists between historical research and policy analysis in modern African studies. The more familiar difficulty between policy-makers, who want answers, and historians and social scie…

The Expatriate Advisor as Senior Policy Analyst
Few first‐hand accounts on advising exist by government advisors working in Third World countries. Other writers suggest that such advising is different from that found in the governments o f the industrialized countries. A framework for comparing expatriate advisors in Africa with senior policy analysts in the United States is developed which finds a great deal of similarity between the two types of advisors. Examples are drawn from the literatu…
Management Crisis in the New Class
In a recent article, Piccone discussed some of the emerging social conflicts between the New Class (the technocratic-bureaucratic managerial elite) and the people it is supposed to manage. He neglected to mention, however, the emerging conflicts within this elite. In particular, the New Class manages an administrative state which is becoming increasingly difficult to manage. In brief, the US government is over-administered, but under-managed. Its…
Individualism versus Community in Africa? The Case of Botswana
This short note provides one answer to an anomaly that has perplexed many an observer of rural development in sub-Saharan Africa: How is it possible that two deeply-rooted values in some African societies - the people's sense of individualism and their sense of community - have persisted through time when they seem to work against each other

The Zone of Acceptance in Organization Theory
Theories and less formal explanations have been used to account for the destruction of the space shuttle Challenger on January 28, 1986. The accounts typically conclude that the accident was the predictable outcome off technological deficiencies, organizational problems, and human error; Yet such appeals to in evitability of the shuttle accident do not explain why it was the Challenger slight, and not earlier ones, that sailed. An organizations "…
Artificial Negativity and Affirmative Action in Universities
Where did affirmative action go? Even minority faculty who have presumably benefited from these programs are increasingly critical of them. A recent report of an advisory committee on Latino issues wrote to the president of the University of California about the “elaborate and time-consuming affirmative action monitoring procedures” for staff on some of the university's campuses and complained that the “University is tangled in a web of numbers a…

On Really Existing Communities - Organic or Otherwise
The good news is that Telos has moved beyond critique towards a positive program for federalism and communities, or what Paul Piccone calls "federal populism." While the model of federal populism seems to have shifted from the European Community to the Lombard League, this focus on examples of federalized communities is to be encouraged. The bad news is that Telos has not subjected "federalism" and "communities" to the same thorough-going critiqu…

Critical Theory, Sustainable Development and Populism
What is sustainable development? Why is it an issue? What needs to be done? What can be done about it? These questions increasingly preoccupy policy-makers, resource managers and the public. This note parses the four questions through that brand of neo-Adornian Critical Theory often referred to as “the theory of artificial negativity” because of its emphasis on the drive of government to rationalize itself and the dominant ideology by means of in…
Sustainable development and cultural theory
What is sustainable development? Why is at an issue? Ideally, what needs to be done? and Practically, what can be done? are answered here by relying on the cultural theory of Mary Douglas and her colleagues, more especially Aaron Wildavsky and Michael Thompson, both of whom have used the model to address sustainable development. The implications of cultural theory for sustainable development are substantial. The article is divided into five secti…

Sustainable development and the local justice framework
Jon Elster's notion of 'local justice systems' helps recon ceive sustainable development in several fresh ways. Keeping options open for the future use of resources turns out to be a justice/injustice cycle: the more sustainable development becomes a global phenom enon, the more locally unjust its uniform application would necess arily be. The more uniform the application, the greater the local pressure for suitably varied alternatives. But the m…
