The politics of community forestry in a Global Age — A critical analysis
Examining equity
Redd Policy Impacts on Indigenous Property Rights Regimes on Palawan Island, the Philippines
Why Environmentally Constrained Towns Choose Growth Controls
Growth controls and growth management are nearly as common as progrowth boosterism in parts of the United States. Growth machine and associated urban regime theories propose that mobilized, upper–income communities are most likely to pursue growth management.

More recently, suburbs have adopted land use controls that promote upper cla…

Speaking Like a State
Government agencies fail to communicate effectively to key audiences about the hazards of eating self-caught, contaminated fish. As a result, government is not protecting African Americans, Latinos, and other ethnic groups that are disproportionately exposed to chemicals that contaminate the catch of recreational anglers. This review argues that remedying this environmental injustice requires agencies to change “government-speak” (bland, generic …
