Social Movements and Climate Adaptation: The Provincial Politics of Coastal Reclamation in Indonesia
Anti-reclamation movements are common in Indonesia, but their effectiveness varies. Such movements, which oppose the infilling of coastal waters and wetlands, consistently draw support from environmentalists, fisherfolk, and coastal residents.

In this paper, I apply the concept of political opportunity to explain variation in the ability of anti-reclamati…

Through an analysis of the Disney Parks blog, we introduce the concept practical magic discourse , which entices users to indulge in the fantasy of transcending the constraints of reality, while obscuring the labor involved in the system’s development and maintenance. Practical magic discourse differs from existing conceptualizations of magical discourse…

These types of businesses benefit from improvements in public infrastructure, so they empower their associations to monitor m…

We compile a rich micro dataset of asking prices for residential, commercial, and undeveloped land from a nationwide classifieds database. Through a hedonic price analysis we identify the im…
