The concept of spatial justice and the European Union’s territorial cohesion
Regional disparities and inequalities have been a key concern in the EU. This paper develops a concept of spatial justice to examine the European Union policy of territorial cohesion and its reforms. It identifies three key dimensions of spatial justice that distinguish it from social justice: spatiality, which draws attention to spatial aspects of justice; integration of distributive and procedural justice, which goes beyond this controversial d…
Interventions and intersections: Institutional environment and local level autonomy in Leader. A comparative study
In 2010, when hope emerged that the new conservative government would improve the governance of the LEADER Programme, the Naturama Alliance, a co-operative network of seven Hungarian LAGs, issued a Declaration that summarised procedural issues to be addressed by a revision[1]. After introducing the alliance, the first chapter was entitled “Decentralisation and Autonomy”, indicating the direction of the desired shift towards a more autonomous oper…
Leader and Spatial Justice
Recent papers have argued that spatial justice should be pursued through a place-based approach, which enables local people to assert their own capacity to act and to pursue their own positive visions: an approach fundamental to LEADER. This paper considers the extent to which LEADER constitutes local action addressing spatial justice through a case study in England. Analysis of this case leads to questions about the extent to which apparent loca…
City-regional imaginaries and politics of rescaling
This paper proposes a new conceptualization of scale as performative imaginary and deploys that to explore the what, the why and the how questions of scalar fixing. Drawing on city-regionalization in England, it argues that a distinct imaginary of city-regions as economic- and city-centric spaces has been normalized through two forms of knowledge: one rationalizing the scalar positioning of this imaginary, the other demarcating its spatial bounda…
Rural Women Veterans Demographic Report: Defining VA Users’ Health and Health Care Access in Rural Areas
PURPOSE: While many women choose to live in rural areas after retiring from active military duty, a paucity of studies examine rural women veterans' health care needs. This report is the first of its kind to describe the population demographics and health care utilization of rural female veteran patients enrolled in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). METHODS: Using the National Patient Care Datasets (n = 327,785), we ran adjusted regression…
Providing Culturally Competent Services for American Indian and Alaska Native Veterans to Reduce Health Care Disparities
Objectives. We conducted an exploratory study to determine what organizational characteristics predict the provision of culturally competent services for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) veterans in Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health facilities. Methods. In 2011 to 2012, we adapted the Organizational Readiness to Change Assessment (ORCA) for a survey of 27 VA facilities in the Western Region to assess organizational readiness and…
When Does Unequal become Unfair? Judging Claims of Environmental Injustice
The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, it presents a pluralistic framework for justice that combines an expanded interpretation of distributive justice with concerns for recognition, participation, capability, and responsibility. It argues that the latter has not attracted the scholarly attention that it deserves in the environmental justice debate. Secondly, the paper demonstrates how this multidimensional framework can be applied in pra…
Rural Native Veterans in the Veterans Health Administration: Characteristics and Service Utilization Patterns
PURPOSE: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Indian Health Service (IHS) signed a Memo of Understanding in 2010 to strengthen their partnership in improving health care services for Native veterans, who are disproportionately rural. This paper describes the demographic and service use profile of rural Native veterans who access VA health care. METHODS: Data were abstracted from the 2008 Veteran Health Administration (VHA) medical data…
Evolutionary Resilience and Strategies for Climate Adaptation
The aim of this study is to develop a framework by drawing on three broad perspectives on resilience, engineering, ecological and evolutionary, and to use this framework to critically examine the approach adopted by the draft London climate change adaptation strategy. The central argument of the study is that the Strategy's emergency planning-centred approach to climate adaptation veers between a standard ecological understanding of resilience an…

A survey of smoking and quitting patterns among black Americans
A sample of adult Black policyholders of the nation's largest Black-owned life insurance company was surveyed in 1986 to add to limited data on smoking and quitting patterns among Black Americans, and to provide direction for cessation initiatives targeted to Black smokers. Forty per cent of 2,958 age-eligible policyholders for whom current addresses were available returned a completed questionnaire. Population estimates for smoking status agree …
Changes in Form and Function of Property Rights Institutions under Threatened Resource Scarcity
Institutions governing the development and use of groundwater on the High Plains changed following the expanded irrigation demand of the 1960s and 1970s. We compared the regulatory systems embodied in the common law standard of reasonableness with the legislatively authorized administrative programs. While the substantive components of the common law standard remained intact in the legislative and administrative programs, the form and function of…
