Global forest governance and sustainable development
The late John Spears' international career coincided with the emergence of global forest governance. His contributions at the World Bank, the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) and at the World Commission on Forests and Sustainable Development (WCFSD) are characterized by an unfailing call to integrate objectives towards forests and trees into broader development goals and particularly to tap the power of forests an…
Preparing for Resettlement Associated with Climate Change
Mitigation and adaptation projects will lead to increased population displacement, calling for new research and attention to past lessons.
Power politics
An overview is presented of the influence of social forces on technological change, based on the experiences involved in the establishment of the Pennsylvania-New Jersey Interconnection (PNJ), the first 220-kV transmission system between independent companies in the US that was established in 1927. None of the precursor efforts-federal, state, or private-were able to develop a politically acceptable administrative framework for high-voltage inter…
A Method for Minimizing the Impact of Distributional Assumptions in Econometric Models for Duration Data
Conventional analyses of single spell duration models control for unobservables using a random effect estimator with the distribution of unobservables selected by ad hoc criteria. Both theoretical and empirical examples indicate that estimates of structural parameters obtained from conventional procedures are very sensitive to the choice of mixing distribution. Conventional procedures overparameterize duration models. We develop a consistent nonp…
La Lecon d'Althusser
Jacques Rancière made his theoretical debut when, under the Althusserian umbrella, he published a long essay in the 1965 edition of Lire le Capital. This essay was later omitted from the 1969 edition. Why? It has been suggested that Rancière's contribution was particularly vulnerable to a critique written by André Glucksmann. As such its omission was part of a “premeditated partial withdrawal, in order to narrow tactical flanks.” This is true, th…
