Did doctors’ moral experiences of providing assisted dying align with their expectations? A qualitative longitudinal study of doctors in Queensland, Australia
Rationale Assisted dying (AD) is now legal in all Australian states, joining a growing number of countries internationally which permit the practice. Limited studies have investigated the moral impact of AD participation on doctors, despite their essential role in the process. Objective This study aims to establish whether there is alignment between doctors’ expectations of providing AD and their experiences one year into practice. Methods Qualit…
Grieving Assisted Dying: A Synthesised Grief Framework
The recent legalization of assisted dying (AD) in New Zealand has reshaped experiences of dying and grief, yet AD-related grief remains under-theorised. Guided by the questions of whether particular forms of grief are more prominent at different stages of the AD process, and how these manifestations can inform a grief framework tailored to AD, this qualitative study explores and explains how grief theories apply to AD. Using appreciative inquiry,…
Assisted Dying Makes Us Think Differently About Care
The Role of Medical Ethics in Voluntary Assisted Dying: A Regulatory Space Analysis
This article reflects on the role of medical ethics in voluntary assisted dying (VAD) practice from the perspective of the field of regulation. Through employing Regulatory Space Theory, which seeks to understand how individual and institutional behaviour is guided by competing and conflicting sources of normative guidance, the article will make three arguments. First, medical ethics, along with the institutions and individuals that employ medica…
A structuralist theory of phenomenal intentionality
This paper argues for a theory of phenomenal intentionality (herein referred to as ‘Structuralism’), according to which perceptual experiences only possess intentional content when their phenomenal components are appropriately related to one another. This paper responds to the objections (i) that Structuralism cannot explain why some experiences have content while others do not, or (ii) why contentful experiences have the specific contents that t…
Enacting recovery: Virtual reality, active inference, and cognitive behavioural therapy for depression
Attempts to use virtual reality technology in the treatment of depression have yielded disappointing results, lacking foundational theoretical principles. In this article, we aim to provide the theoretical foundation and guidelines for the principled use of virtual reality in cognitive behavioral therapy treatments for depression. We leverage the active inference framework, a neuroscientific theory grounded in probabilistic belief updating and ac…
Physicians’ preferences for their own end of life: A comparison across North America, Europe, and Australia
OBJECTIVE: To study physicians' personal preferences for end-of-life practices, including life-sustaining and life-shortening practices, and the factors that influence preferences. DESIGN: A cross-sectional survey (May 2022-February 2023). SETTING: Eight jurisdictions: Belgium, Italy, Canada, USA (Oregon, Wisconsin, and Georgia), Australia (Victoria and Queensland). PARTICIPANTS: Three physician types: general practitioners, palliative care physi…
Comparative Analysis of Individual Case Reviews in Assisted Dying Oversight Systems Internationally
As more jurisdictions consider introducing assisted dying laws, questions are raised as to optimal oversight mechanisms. There have been a variety of approaches taken internationally to oversight of individual cases of assisted dying. All jurisdictions examined in this article require clinical prospective review, where a second practitioner assesses the person’s eligibility. Jurisdictions also uniformly permit some kind of state retrospective rev…
Changing perspectives on participation in assisted dying in Queensland, Australia: A one-year qualitative longitudinal study of doctors
Although assisted dying (AD) is increasingly legalized globally, in limited circumstances, many doctors choose not to participate. This study is the first qualitative longitudinal study comparing doctors' intentions to participate in AD in Queensland, Australia to actual participation, to identify any changes. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 27 doctors at two time points: after the law passed but before AD was legally available and…
Institutional objection to assisted dying: A qualitative study of stakeholders in Aotearoa New Zealand
As more countries legalize assisted dying (AD), one issue increasingly debated is institutional objection. This is when an institution decides it does not want to provide AD and wishes to prohibit some or all aspects of the AD process from occurring onsite. Aotearoa New Zealand legalized AD in 2021 but its legislation does not address institutional objection. This paper presents the first detailed examination of this issue in Aotearoa New Zealand…
Monitoring medical assistance in dying (MAiD) in Canada: Perspectives of physicians, nurse practitioners, and organizational regulatory actors
Canada's federal monitoring system for medical assistance in dying (MAiD) commenced in 2018 and was expanded in 2023 to enhance data collection. This article sought to understand the role of monitoring in the regulation of MAiD in Canada. It reports on qualitative interviews conducted with 68 participants from two key groups: MAiD assessors and providers; and "organizational actors" from a range of bodies including government, regulators, profess…
Community knowledge of voluntary assisted dying: A cross-sectional survey of the public in Queensland, Australia
This research, undertaken in Queensland, Australia aimed to explore community members' knowledge of voluntary assisted dying (VAD) 17 months after it became a lawful option. Adults living in Queensland ( n = 1000) completed an online survey about knowledge of VAD as a legal option and awareness of how to access VAD and information about it. Quotas were set for age, gender and geographical region within Queensland. Only 33% ( n = 329) of community…
Preparing for voluntary assisted dying: A qualitative analysis of practitioners’ perceptions of voluntary assisted dying before the law begins in Queensland, Australia
Legalization of voluntary assisted dying (VAD), is increasingly being considered in many countries worldwide. Some regimes have a designated implementation period, after the law has passed but before it comes into force, to develop processes and systems required for VAD to be integrated within existing healthcare. This study is the first qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with 31 medical practitioners holding no in-principle objec…

Shifting boundaries, extended minds: Ambient technology and extended allostatic control
This article applies the thesis of the extended mind to ambient smart environments. These systems are characterised by an environment, such as a home or classroom, infused with multiple, highly networked streams of smart technology working in the background, learning about the user and operating without an explicit interface or any intentional sensorimotor engagement from the user. We analyse these systems in the context of work on the “classical…
When Safeguards Become Stumbling Blocks: A Call to Remove the State Residence Requirement for Voluntary Assisted Dying in Australia
The requirement that a person has been ordinarily resident in a state for at least 12 months is the most litigated criterion of eligibility for voluntary assisted dying in Australia. The state residence criterion is problematic for people who live a nomadic lifestyle, spend long periods of time interstate or overseas, move between states for work, or have retired to another state. We analyse the case law on this issue, and the policy reasons for …
Labour and Land in Indonesia: An Introduction
This article provides a reflective overview of Indonesian agrarian history, contemporary agrarian dynamics and the growing field of Indonesian agrarian studies. By charting the evolution of the field and highlighting landmark studies, it traces the work and influence of both foreign researchers and the lesser known tradition of agrarian political economy by Indonesian scholars. In doing so, it highlights compelling themes within the political eco…
Generational Reproduction of Indonesian Smallholder Farming: Cases From Java and Flores
This article explores the generational reproduction of farming and agrarian relations in the Indonesian islands of Java and Flores. Concentrating mainly on women and men who have managed, or are trying, to establish farming livelihoods, we ask how, why and when do young rural people find-or fail to find-pathways into farming? And in today's increasingly diversified rural contexts, how far do land transmission processes between the generations con…

Class and Gender in Older People Care in Rural Yogyakarta
This article explores care arrangements for older people in rural Yogyakarta, comparing and contrasting the experiences of older people in three agrarian classes: significant landowners, petty commodity producers and ‘classes of labour’. The study was conducted in two villages in Kulon Progo and Sleman Regencies. Qualitative interviews, observations, life histories and information on the changing social and economic contexts are used to analyse o…

Patients' and Caregivers' Suggestions for Improving Assisted Dying Regulation: A Qualitative Study in Australia and Canada
INTRODUCTION: Assisted dying (AD) has been legalised in a small but growing number of jurisdictions globally, including Canada and Australia. Early research in both countries demonstrates that, in response to access barriers, patients and caregivers take action to influence their individual experience of AD, as well as AD systems more widely. This study analyses how patients and caregivers suggest other decision-makers in AD systems should addres…
Australian Indigenous people and treatment decision-making at end-of-life
This article analyses Australian law and literature to identify the key cultural and legal considerations that can arise in medical treatment decision-making with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples at the end-of-life. The authors explore how First Nation peoples’ cultural values, connection to Country, family, and community, history, and health care experiences, intersect with end-of-life medical treatment laws, providing valuable insi…

Ambient smart environments: Affordances, allostasis, and wellbeing
In this paper we assess the functionality and therapeutic potential of ambient smart environments. We argue that the language of affordances alone fails to do justice to the peculiar functionality of this ambient technology, and draw from theoretical approaches based on the free energy principle and active inference. We argue that ambient smart environments should be understood as playing an'upstream' role, shaping an agent's field of affordances…
The new enclosures: Critical Perspectives on Corporate Land Deals
The contributions to this collection use the tools of agrarian political economy to explore the rapid growth and complex dynamics of large-scale land deals in recent years, with a special focus on the implications of big land deals for property and labour regimes, labour processes and structures of accumulation. The first part of this introductory essay examines the implications of this agrarian political economy perspective. First we explore the…
Towards a better understanding of global land grabbing: An Editorial Introduction
Over the past several years, the convergence of global crises in food, energy, finance, and the environment has driven a dramatic revaluation of land ownership. Powerful transnational and national
Resistance, acquiescence or incorporation? An introduction to land grabbing and political reactions 'from below
Political reactions 'from below' to global land grabbing have been vastly more varied and complex than is usually assumed. This essay introduces a collection of ground-breaking studies that discuss responses that range from various types of organized and everyday resistance to demands for incorporation or for better terms of incorporation into land deals. Initiatives 'from below' in response to land deals have involved local and transnational all…
Emancipatory rural politics: Confronting Authoritarian Populism
A new political moment is underway. Although there are significant differences in how this is constituted in different places, one manifestation of the new moment is the rise of distinct forms of authoritarian populism. In this opening paper of the JPS Forum series on 'Authoritarian Populism and the Rural World', we explore the relationship between these new forms of politics and rural areas around the world. We ask how rural transformations have…
Governing Global Land Deals: The Role of the State in the Rush for Land
Over the past decade, there has been a dramatic increase in large-scale land deals, often from public lands to the hands of foreign or domestic investors. Popularly referred to as a 'global land grab', new land acquisitions are drawing upon, restructuring and challenging the nature of both governance and government. In the Introduction to this special issue, we argue for an analysis of land deals that draws upon the insights of political ecology,…
The politics of evidence: Methodologies for Understanding the Global Land Rush
Since the most recent 'land rush' precipitated by the convergent 'crises' of fuel, feed and food in 2007-08, the debate on the consequences of land investments has been massively heightened, with widespread media coverage, policy commentary and civil society engagement. The 'land rush' of recent years has been accompanied by a 'literature rush', with a fast-growing body of reports, articles, tables and books with varied purposes, metrics and meth…
Gendered experiences of dispossession: Oil palm expansion in a Dayak Hibun community in West Kalimantan
This article explores the gendered experience of monocrop oil-palm expansion in a Hibun Dayak community in Sanggau District, West Kalimantan (Indonesia). It shows how the expanding corporate plantation and contract farming system has undermined the position and livelihood of indigenous women in this already patriarchal community. The shifting of land tenure from the community to the state and the practice of the 'family head' system of smallholde…
Agrofuels capitalism: A View From Political Economy
This article considers the global expansion of agrofuels feedstock production from a political economy perspective. It considers and dismisses the environmental and pro-poor developmental justifications attached to agrofuels. To local populations and direct producers, the specific destination of the crop as fuel, food, cosmetics or other final uses in faraway places is probably of less interest than the forms of (direct or indirect) appropriation…
Global land deals: What Has Been Done, What Has Changed, and What's Next
In 2010, the Land Deals Politics Initiative formed to study the rising number of large-scale land deals taking place around the world. As the so-called 'global land grab' took shape, we organised small grant competitions to generate more empirical research into the phenomenon, and we organised conferences to debate the parameters and dynamics from the local level to the global. In this article, we take stock of what has been written about land gr…
Agriculture and the Generation Problem: Rural Youth, Employment and the Future of Farming
Youth unemployment and underemployment are serious problems in most countries, and often more severe in rural than in urban areas. Small-scale agriculture is the developing world's single biggest source of employment, and with the necessary support it can offer a sustainable and productive alternative to the expansion of large-scale, capital-intensive, labour-displacing corporate farming. This, however, assumes a generation of young rural men and…
Marx and Chayanov at the margins: Understanding agrarian change in Java
Starting from the notes which Marx made on Java in 1853 and 1881, this contribution explores the history of research and debates on the survival, reproduction and differentiation of Java's peasant communities. Rural differentiation and concentration of landholdings are long-standing, established facts; however this has produced not a capitalist large-farmer class but growing numbers of share tenants, as the landowning 'masters of the contemporary…
Agroindustry and contract farmers in upland West Java
This study examines the experience of contract farmers in the hilly southern region of West Java, using illustrations from two types of upland contracting schemes. The nucleus in one case (smallholder dairy farming) is a co-operative, and in the second (smallholder hybrid coconuts) a large nationalised plantation corporation. In both cases contract farming communities deviate markedly from the neo-populist vision of homogeneous, modernising famil…
Remembering the Indonesian Peasants' Front and Plantation Workers' Union (1945-1966)
The absence of a strong national peasant and agricultural workers' movement in Indonesia can be traced back to the violent destruction of the Indonesian Peasants' Front (BTI) and Plantation Workers' Union (SARBUPRI) in 1965-1966. This contribution reflects on their role in building a progressive movement of peasants and workers in the face of continual attempts to squash them by the Indonesian state and military. How did the cadres learn about th…

Gender and generation in Southeast Asian agro-commodity booms
This article introduces the Special Issue on 'Gender and generation in agrarian and environmental transformation in Southeast Asia'. The contributions to this collection focus on the intersecting dynamics of gender, generation and class in Southeast Asian rural communities engaging with expanding capitalist relations, whether in the form of large-scale corporate land acquisition or other forms of penetration of commodity economy. Gender and espec…
We are not all the same: Taking gender seriously in food sovereignty discourse
The vision of food sovereignty calls for radical changes in agricultural, political and social systems related to food. These changes also entail addressing inequalities and asymmetries of power in gender relations. While women’s rights are seen as central to food sovereignty, given the key role women play in food production, procurement and preparation, family food security, and food culture, few attempts have been made to systematically integra…
Defining the Intolerable: Child Work, Global Standards and Cultural Relativism
This article explores some of the unresolved tensions between `universalistic' and `relativistic' approaches in the establishment of standards and strategies designed to prevent or overcome the abuse of children's capacity to work. Global standards (on children's rights, on unacceptable or intolerable forms of children's work, etc.) require universal notions of (ideal, normal or `tolerable') childhood, while cultural relativism stresses the idea …
Generational transmission of smallholder farms in late capitalism
Despite contextual differences, the future of smallholder farming faces many similar challenges worldwide. This introduction to the special section previews case studies from Australia, Austria, Ireland and Japan of generational transmission of smallholder farms in late capitalism. It frames key issues in the generational reproduction of smallholder farming, combining perspectives from agrarian studies and youth studies. The cases include intrafa…
Children, Work and ‘Child Labour: Changing Responses to the Employment of Children
This article examines the ways in which the problem of child labour has been perceived and addressed, from the beginnings of social concern about these issues until the present, with illustrations from The Netherlands and Indonesia. National and international responses to the problem of child labour reflect a number of assumptions which are almost completely at odds with the views and the preferences of children themselves. Paradoxically, powerfu…

Delegitimizing Solidarity: Israel Smears Palestine Advocacy as Anti-Semitic
In response to growing Palestine solidarity activism globally—and particularly in countries that have been traditional allies of Israel—the Israeli government has launched a well-resourced campaign to undermine such efforts. A key element of this campaign consists in equating Palestine advocacy; the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement; and anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism. The concerted effort to delegitimize solidarity with the Palestin…

Coercion and quality in Indonesian family planning; A response to Anke Niehof
This editorial response charges that Anke Niehofs review of Development and Social Welfare: Indonesias Experiences under the New Order fails to adequately and fairly reflect the contents of the book. Instead Niehof used her review to rail against what she feels is unjustifiable criticism of practices of coercion in Indonesias national family planning (FP) program in the early 1990s. Jan Breman and Ben White are targets of Niehofs review even thou…
