Towards an Urban Political Ecology of Coastal Land Reclamation
Coasts, deltas and estuaries have been reshaped for generations by land reclamation projects for the purposes of expanding settlements and agricultural lands as well as protecting coasts. Since the mid‐twentieth century, technical progress has allowed for land reclamation to occur at an unprecedented speed and scale. Regardless of the key role that land reclamation has had in the past as well as in more recent coastal urbanisation efforts, the is…
Adapting to Uncertainty
Along the southern coast of India, hard protective infrastructure has become the default response to increasingly frequent cyclones and severe coastal erosion. However, such interventions not only intensify erosion by disrupting sand movement, but also obscure its root causes, which are often contested through diverging narratives and knowledge claims about the sand and the sea. Making use of the burgeoning literature on ‘geosociality’ and ‘situa…
What Is at Stake? The Ontological Dimension of Environmental Conflicts
Beyond Protection, toward Respect
The cement industry is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than international air traffic, it takes up massive amounts of water and energy in the production process and creates highly destructive stone pit mines. The case we are presenting here stands for a complex transnational struggle for environmental justice involving the indigenous Sedelur Sikep community and a subsidiary of the German HeidelbergCement AG linking the Javanese lime…
Contested estuary ontologies
The ongoing fairway adaptation of the Elbe Estuary is one of the most contested infrastructure projects in Germany in recent years. After a 17-year, highly contested planning process, delayed by a number of court proceedings, the dredging works started in 2019. The dredging aimed to establish a depth of at least 17.40 m below mean sea level, permitting the port to handle larger container vessels independent of the tide. Environmental NGOs, fisher…
Towards transnational agrarian conflicts? Global NGOs, transnational agrobusiness and local struggles for land on Sumatra
The article explores the spatial dimension of the contested renegotiation of society-nature relations in the context of the oil palm boom in Indonesia. Drawing on qualitative research as well as on concepts of political ecology, materialist state theory and literature on the transnationalization and internationalisation of the state, it argues that conflicts in the context of the oil palm boom cannot merely be conceptualised as local negotiation …
Introduction to the special issue “Climate and marine justice – debates and critical perspectives”
This special issue (SI) shows that environmental justice perspectives are especially useful for analysing current socio-ecological conflicts. These perspectives help to bridge epistemological and ontological gaps in inter- and transdisciplinary settings and promote normative and justice-oriented discussions on environmental struggles within and beyond the academy. Currently, the following two interrelated environmental crises and their impacts re…
Post-conflict transition and Redd+ in Colombia
REDD+ is a mechanism to address climate change by reducing deforestation and forest degradation. In this article, the implementation of the REDD Early Movers- REM/Visión Amazonia program in Guaviare, Colombia, is analyzed, focusing on the implementation challenges and scope of the program when addressing deforestation drivers in a post-conflict context. By taking a historical perspective on regional deforestation challenges in Guaviare, we link t…
Operationalizing Ocean Health
Deforestation and the Paris climate agreement
More than ten years after REDD + (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation) entered the UN climate negotiations, its current state and future direction are a matter of contention. This paper analyses 162 INDCs (Intended National Determined Contributions), or climate action plans, to assess whether and how countries plan to use REDD + in their implementation the Paris Agreement. Our analysis suggests that REDD + continues to ha…
The Transnationalisation of Competing State Projects
Indonesia's peatlands can be considered as conflict arenas where different state projects and actors compete. The case presented here stands for a new conservation controversy. The Berbak Carbon Initiatives overlap with a settlement project, inducing struggles among different state apparatuses, transnational actors, and peasants. This article is based on a novel conceptual approach building on political ecology, politics of scale and state theory…

The primordial refugees
Global responses to Syrian refugees reveal a contradiction in state-society relations. Many groups in civil society want to assist the refugees, while many state officials want to limit or entirely prevent refugee admissions. To explain the anomaly of civil society pressuring a reluctant state to open its borders to refugees, this essay reviews forced migration traditions in five world religions, three of them monotheistic and one each pantheisti…
The Changing Face of World Cities
Politicians and Social Movements
Political opportunity theory predicts that increased access to the political system benefits social movements by disadvantaged groups. To test this prediction, this paper evaluates the impact of two elected Hmong American officials on social movement campaigns in their community during their time in office. Content analysis of newspaper reports is used to (i) create a sample of nine local, national, and transnational social movement campaigns in …
The Urban Ethnic Community and Collective Action
This paper replicates and extends Sampson et al.'s (2005) collective efficacy explanation of civic action events to ethnic communities formed through international migration. It examines political, social movement, and civic collective action of Hmong Americans in Minneapolis–St. Paul through a content analysis of events reported in one of the community's ethnic newspapers from 2002 to 2011 (N = 541). Initially a dispersed group of refugees from …
Race Relations Stories
The contact hypothesis (Allport 1954) predicts that cross-racial interaction can produce social bonding under certain status, relational, and institutional conditions. We extend this classic theory on ingroups and outgroups using qualitative data on Cambodian and Hmong refugees' recollections of casual conversations about ancestry with black and white peers. To cope with affective trauma, these refugees have created personal narratives about forc…
Shifting Ethnic Boundaries and Inequality in Israel
The Preconditions and Consequences of Social Movement Actions
A new branch of the social movements literature calls attention to the lack of research on the unintended consequences rather than intended outcomes of social movements. This paper examines one of these potential unintended consequences: negative attitudes toward the intended beneficiaries of the movement. The paper departs from past analysis of public opinion, however, by focusing on the views of local polity members. Specifically, the paper ana…
Crossing National Borders
International migration and other types of cross-border movement are becoming an important part of international relations in Northeast Asia. In this pioneering study, experts on China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and Russia examine the political, economic, social, and cultural dimensions of the interaction between border-crossing individuals and host communities. The book highlights the challenges facing national and local leaders in each country an…

Challenge to the Nation-State
This volume presents the latest research by some of the world's leading figures in the fast growing area of immigration studies. Relating the study of immigration to wider processes of social change, the book focuses on two key areas in which nation-states are being challenged by this phenomenon: sovereignty and citizenship. Bringing together the separate clusters of scholarship which have evolved around both of these areas, Challenge to the Nati…
Legal Adaptation among Vietanmese Refugees in the United States
This article examines an overlooked dimension of adaptation among international migrants: how they use the host society's legal system to seek redress for grievances that arise during the resettlement process. The article terms this process legal adaptation and focuses on foreign-born plaintiffs in civil litigation. A sample (N=137) of state and federal civil cases with at least one Vietnamese litigant is used to analyze the temporal patterns in …

Interpersonal Discrimination Against Hmong Americans
Different racial and ethnic minorities are commonly compared across various measures of macrolevel inequality but have thus far not been compared with respect to microlevel inequality. Using data from interviews with forty-eight Hmong Americans, this article systematically extends Feagin's (1991) analysis of interpersonal discrimination against African Americans to the experiences of everyday racism among a group of foreignborn Asian Americans. H…
Refugees, Immigrants, and the State
A realist versus nominalist debate within the field of international migration questions whether refugees are fundamentally distinct from immigrants or whether the category is a social construction masking similarities with immigrants. Contemporary refugee and immigrant flows conform to patterns of the world system. However, refugee migrations are caused by changes in the nation-state. Like immigrants, refugees organize migration through social n…

From Migrant to Minority
The social constructionist perspective of ethnicity suggests that international migrants may not consider themselves ethnic minorities even when they objectively hold this status. Interview data from forty Hmong refugee leaders support this thesis. One-third have an entirely migrant orientation, while few have an entirely minority orientation. However, one-third are primarily minority in orientation. The migrant orientation prioritizes the ethnic…

Do 'New Immigrants' Become 'New Minorities
The term 'new immigrants' describes the Asians, Latin Americans, and Caribbeans who have arrived in the United States since the liberalization of immigration laws in 1965. Sociologists have begun using terms like 'new foreign minority' in their research on these migrants' adaptation to American society. This article questions this extension of a difference in international migration to a difference in race and ethnic relations by analyzing the em…
State Incorporation of Migrants and the Reproduction of A Middleman Minority Among Indochinese Refugees
This article examines how state incorporation reproduces a middleman minority group's occupational role after the migration of that group to the United States. An extension of middleman minority theory is developed to explain why ethnic Chinese refugees from former Indochina are overrepresented in intermediary social service occupations in comparison to Vietnamese, Laotian, and Cambodian refugees. Three propositions are developed and tested focus…

International Migrants or Welfare Clients
Government funding of nonprofit organizations is a dominant trend in American social welfare and it has greatly influenced the voluntary agencies resettling Indochinese refugees. Some agencies identify their clients as international migrants from the Third World, but others view them primarily as welfare recipients. These distinctive master statuses lead agencies to provide different services, thus affecting the refugees' initial adaptation to Am…
Immigrants, Natives and the French Welfare State
This research note examines immigrants and natives’ interactions with foyers d'hébergement or lodging hostels in France. These populations differ in how they locate foyers, the importance they attach to the social dimensions of this institution, and their responses to its social control function. North African and especially Algerian immigrants show the greatest differences from the French. Ethnicity accounts for the variation between immigrants …
Migrants in Europe
The 12 articles in this collection document migration fields which are social systems that include the places or origin and destination of migrants. In such systems social political and economic changes that take place in one point in the field have an immediate impact on other parts of the same field. Government policies regarding migration in both sender and host countries as well as specific treaties between countries may regulate movements wi…

Civil rights are usually conceptualized as a minority-majority issue. Comparison of public policy to promote racial and ethnic equality in the United States and France indicates that civil rights also influence interminority relations. American policy is based on rights to resources. It emphasizes racial and ethnic differences, interest groups, and distribution of jobs and other social goods. French policy is based on rights to membership. It emp…
