Circular economy, methane capture, and climate education in US HEIs
Purpose This study aims to analyze the involvement of US colleges and universities in methane capture projects in the waste sector and their related educational initiatives aiming to build circular economies and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Design/methodology/approach The authors compiled a subset of 22 “early adopting” institutions – those that received media attention for solid or liquid waste methane capture projects from 1999 to the…
Geoeconomic Assumptions, Insecurity, and 'Free' Trade in Central America
The Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) exemplifies interconnections and contradictions between geopolitical and geoeconomic agendas, including security, democracy, and resource marketing. Central American sovereignty is selectively weakened as states are increasingly dependent on the US and must synchronise governance with the expectations of their most important trade partner or risk becoming defendants in international tribunals. Sal…
Market Citizenship in Eastern Nicaraguan Indigenous Territories

Case studies of three prominent disputes linked to protected areas and tourism demonstrate that where territorial recognition and land titling has not occurred, or the rights and responsibilit…
Renewable Energy and Human Rights Violations: Illustrative Cases from Indigenous Territories in Panama
Local implementation of international climate policies is frequently obscure. The objective of our research is to unpack the “black box” of carbon offsetting as it is being conducted in Latin American indigenous territories. Our two case studies of renewable energy projects under construction in Naso and Ngöbe villages in western Panama show that carbon offsets in oppressive societies have the potential to cause social harm. Our cases illustrate …

Overlapping transnational networks attempted to reconcile divergent perspectives- some favoring rejection, others reform-and leverage change in the U.S. government's framing of the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). The experience of the Stop CAFTA Coalition shows that protest movements cannot be fully understood from the perspective of a single period in time. Core coalition members began organizing decades prior to CAFTA's proposal,…
