Factors influencing winegrowers’ adoption of soil organic carbon sequestration practices in France
A comprehensive quantification of global nitrous oxide sources and sinks
Greenhouse gas mitigation in animal production: Towards an integrated life cycle sustainability assessment
Religion and the Rise of Global Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate social responsibility reflects the idea that businesses have obligations to society involving consideration of factors beyond profit maximization and strict adherence to legal regulations. Although there are many avenues through which Christians attempt to influence corporate priorities and behavior, socially responsible investment is a primary mechanism. Increased shareholder activism among Christians (and among interfaith coalitions w…
Coastal dune conservation on an Irish commonage: Community-Based Management or Tragedy of the Commons
In Ireland 'commonage' refers to lands jointly owned by several individuals who have grazing rights. Commonage can provide the low-intensity grazing regime regarded as optimal for habitat conservation, and it is also unlikely to suffer the negative impacts of building development or coastal engineering. Today, however, the traditional control systems of coastal commonage are generally moribund, leading to habitat degradation. The only viable futu…
Land tenure type as an underrated legal constraint on the conservation management of coastal dunes: Examples from Ireland
Legal factors play an underrated but significant role as constraints on conservation management. In this paper, based on observations in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, mode of land tenure is assessed to determine its influence on the conservation management of coastal dunes. The tenure types considered are: private ownership, corporate private ownership, tenancy, secured tenancy, leasing, common (joint) ownership, uncertain ow…
Developing Integrated Participatory Management Strategies for Atlantic Dune Systems in County Donegal, Northwest Ireland
Development planning and resource management in the Irish coastal zone have traditionally followed sectoral, top-down models, with limited opportunities for public participation or concertation of administrative effort. Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) is often proposed as an appropriate policy response in cases where these approaches have been seen to fail. In this paper, we argue that ICZM may be more sustainable if first introduced at…

The Evolution of Legislative Jurisdictions
We consider the clarity of the jurisdictions of the committees of the U.S. Congress over the entire post-war period. We offer a theory to explain changes in clarity over time, emphasizing how the rise of new issues and the redefinition of existing ones undermine the clarity and stability of committee jurisdictions. We present results from a new dataset on all congressional hearings between 1947 and 1994-67,291 cases in all. Using new summary indi…
Witnesses at the Confirmations? The Appearance of Organized Interests at Senate Hearings of Federal Judicial Appointments, 1945-1992
Previous research suggests that groups increasingly dominate the se lection of federal court judges. We evaluate this conventional wisdom with longitudinal data tracing the appearance of organized interests at nearly 2,000 lower court confirmation hearings between 1945-1992. We find mixed support for the conventional wisdom. Organized interests do not appear more often before the Senate Judiciary Committee than in the past but there has been a co…
