Green electricity, blue innovation and state power on Belgium's offshore commodity frontier
The ongoing expansion of renewable energy goes hand in hand with the opening of new commodity frontiers. While academic literature has historically focused on extractivism enabled by (post-)colonial states in the Global South, the growth of renewables entails a reshoring of these frontiers to the Global North. Using Belgium as case study, we develop two arguments on these emerging manifestations of the relationship between the state and the commo…
Winds of Change
Small islands face complex governance challenges shaped by limited capacity, economic dependency, and spatial constraints. In Aruba—one of the world's most tourism‐dependent economies—these pressures are intensified by a growth‐centric tourism regime that shapes land use, institutional priorities, and public discourse. This article examines how environmental collectives—citizen‐led groups engaged in protecting socio‐ecological commons—navigate an…
The political ecology of compensation
Revisiting wildfire resilience from a territorial perspective
Wildfires are increasingly recognized as a complex socioecological phenomenon, yet their linkages with territorial development are not clearly spelled out. This article seeks to unveil the sociopolitical and sociospatial ramifications of wildfires by framing them as a territorial issue, and understanding fire-prone territories as dynamic entities that emerge in essentially political processes, defined by socioecological relations that unfold acro…
The politics of possibility in just transitions
Collective Subjectivation in Socially Innovative Commoning
This paper focuses on subjectivities of agents involved in socially innovative commoning practices. Social change agents, often influenced by neoliberal ideologies and individualist subjectivities, sometimes prioritize ‘practical’ approaches over approaches addressing the complexity of social relations and ethics in commoning; this can unintentionally undermine collective efforts, reinforcing the very systems these initiatives seek to dismantle. …

La investigación incorpora las voces de diversos actores involucrados en la valorización de la alfarería indígena, incluyendo alfareras, gestores de museos, responsables de extensión, académicos, especialistas en artes plásticas y vendedores. A través de la observación participante y entr…
Construyendo movimientos ecoterritoriales en áreas de conservación privado-comunitarias
La conservación medioambiental es un tema urgente a nivel mundial, en particular en cuanto a su integración con el desarrollo socioeconómico sostenible. En Latinoamérica, países como Perú enfrentan crecientes tensiones entre la conservación ambiental y modelos neoextractivistas. El giro ecoterritorial de los movimientos socioambientales en la región refleja una crítica a esta economía y busca una gobernanza colectiva del territorio. En este conte…
Transformations and eco-territorial governance innovations
A Participatory Action Research Using Affective Mapping to Promote Forest Commoning
Community-based forest policies are being implemented all around the world, but the engagement of local communities is not always ideal. This research article seeks to explore the role of affective relations in incentivising participation. It narrates the Participatory Action Research (PAR) conducted in a rural community (Ansiães, north Portugal) with low levels of participation. Ansiães is a mountainous parish district with a baldio (a historica…
A qualitative analysis of Non-Timber Forest Products activities as a strategy to promote sustainable land use in the Brazilian Cerrado
Governing Europe's forests for multiple ecosystem services
Europe's forest provide multiple ecosystem services for societies, ranging from provisioning (e.g. wood) and regulating (e.g. climate mitigation and biodiversity) to cultural (e.g. recreation) services. In this paper, we assess the state and prospects of forest ecosystem services provision in Europe, introducing new data from the European collaborative research projects SINCERE, NOBEL and CLEARING HOUSE, and combining it with findings from the li…
Blazing the trail
Mediterranean territories have co-evolved and been shaped by fire throughout history. However, global environmental change conditions are increasing the size, intensity and severity of wildfires, which have gone from a regular natural disturbance to a serious threat for civil protection, surpassing firefighting capacities. Therefore, building resilience in fire-prone territories is an increasingly relevant policy and management objective. However…
Disaster governance and institutional dynamics in times of social-ecological change
Re-building historical commons
There has been considerable research studying how the formal institutionalisation of community forests affects participation of local communities. This paper studies a historical commons in Galicia in order to provide insight into how formal institutions are enmeshed with a forestry logic and how this shapes community participation in historical commons in Europe. More specifically, we offer an alternative explanation for low levels of participat…

Social Innovation as Political Transformation
This book is an introduction to the works of a collective of academics on social innovation and socio-political transformation. It offers a critique of the dominance of market-based logics and extractivism in the age of neoliberalism. Calling for systemic change, the authors invite the reader to engage in the analysis and practice of socially innovative initiatives and, by doing so, contribute to the co-construction of a sustainable, solidarity-b…
Framing strategic storytelling in the context of transition management to stimulate tourism destination development
Historical commons as sites of transformation. A critical research agenda to study human and more-than-human communities
Social Innovation As Political Transformation
Learning from the rubble
Learning after a disaster is crucial in creating more resilient places. However, many societies are repeatedly overwhelmed by disasters. This can be because of missed opportunities to learn in post-disaster settings or because of actions implemented that seem to be highly relevant to recovery in the short term, but potentially constrain aspirations in the longer term. This paper assesses learning processes among state and non-state actors and the…
Un monde plus juste et durable est possible… comment pouvons-nous le créer
Cet éditorial a été rédigé au moment où l'hémisphère nord commence à laisser derrière lui un long et froid hiver afin d’accueillir les premiers rayons tièdes du soleil annonçant le printemps. Par nos fenêtres et lors de nos promenades du dimanche, nous devenons les témoins de l’apparition des premiers crocus dans les parcs de la ville, des bouquets de tulipes dans les marchés et aussi de la floraison des amandiers couvrant la Méditerranée avec de…
Socio-political drivers and consequences of landslide and flood risk zonation
Disaster risk zonation is often proposed as a long-term disaster risk reduction strategy by international treaties and academic research. This strategy has been implemented in the city of Limbe, which is known to be a disaster-prone one. Citizens are forced to settle in unsafe terrains, ranging from wetlands to unstable hillslopes due to the city’s geographical location and economic attraction. Following the fatal landslides and floods in 2001, a…
On the ‘complexity turn’ in planning
Complexity sciences have been long ago acknowledged to be useful at conceptualizing a variety of phenomena relevant to planning. Nevertheless, the actual mechanisms that will prove adequate to tackle complex planning issues are still under debate. Considering that in today’s so-called era of the Anthropocene such planning issues are more present and evident than ever, the need for further investigating the implications of complexity sciences into…

La nature de la durabilité sociale
Dans les débats sur le développement durable, la durabilité sociale est devenue un thème très important. Mais sa conceptualisation, qui est souvent isolée de la dynamique des autres piliers du développement durable, l’empêche de jouer son rôle structurant tant dans l’analyse que dans le processus de développement territorial durable. Les auteurs expliquent comment une « culturalisation » du développement durable, et en particulier de la durabilit…

The Vicissitudes of the French Regional Park Model Illustrated through the Life History of the Morvan
The diversity of socio-ecological territories on the European continent has led to a differentiation of institutions for nature protection, ranging from strict nature reserves to semi-protected areas designed to revitalise rural territories. This article examines the French regional park model and illustrates its governance distinctiveness through the life history of the Parc Naturel Régional du Morvan. First, the text analyses the challenging ro…
Sustainability and multi-level governance of territories classified as protected areas in France
This paper draws on recent debates on the multi-level governance of sustainable development to approach territories classified as protected areas. Based on original fieldwork carried out in the Parc naturel régional du Morvan, the paper examines the main governance challenges arising from the coexistence of natural areas and various embedded politico-administrative territories that have flourished in France in the last few decades. Considering sp…
Développement durable et territoire
Face aux problèmes globaux qui affectent la planète et ses habitants (dérèglements climatiques, épuisement de la biodiversité, niveau élevé des inégalités Nord/Sud...), le développement durable est généralement présenté comme une réponse globale. Une telle caractérisation n’empêche nullement que ce nouveau modèle de développement soit aussi appréhendé sous l’angle de ses possibles déclinaisons territoriales. De fait, depuis le début des années 90…
