  • The War in Ukraine and Food Security in Eastern Europe

    Eszter Krasznai Kovacs, Agata Bachórz et al.ARTICLEGastronomica The Journal of Food…2022

    This dispatch outlines some of the immediate consequences and long-term challenges posed by the Ukraine war on food security and production systems in Eastern Europe.

  • Provincializing European responses to the refugee ‘crisis’ through a Hungarian lens

    Open AccessEszter Krasznai Kovacs, Kavita Ramakrishnan et al.ARTICLEPolitical Geography2022Cited by: 2References: 24

Through ethnographic work that documents and analyses refugee reception after the so-called 2015 refugee crisis, we shed l…

Combining analysis and a wealth of case studies, this book offers concepts and tools for addressing distributive issues in biodiversity policy. It will help pol…
