Coercive environmentalism and political legitimacy in the age of climate change
Examines the legitimacy implications of coercive environmental governance through a case study of militarized fisheries enforcement in Uganda. • Finds that while coercive policies improve fisheries protection, they undermine political legitimacy by increasing social conflict and economic inequalities. • Demonstrates that environmental success does not necessarily translate into public support for the government or its policies. • Explores how mar…
Inherent Dilemma
Natural resource governance often grapples with the challenge of balancing conservation efficiency and social equity. While both objectives are essential, their persistent collision exposes an inherent dilemma. Suggesting that existing studies fail to grasp the depth of such dilemmas adequately, this paper examines the comprehensive impacts of natural resource policies that strive to maximize conservation targets. I hypothesize that (1) the attai…
Immigration, ethnic diversity and public goods provisioning
A considerable body of literature suggests that immigration undermines voluntary contributions to public goods because it leads to ethnic diversity, which erodes social trust. This article posits that the effect of immigration outweighs that of ethnic diversity, so that immigration may explain why ethnic diversity is negatively associated with social trust and public goods provisioning. I also highlight a need to emphasize the moderating influenc…
Can Immigration Explain Why Ethnic Diversity is Negatively Associated with Common Property Management
A persistent question for social scientists is the extent to which societal levels of ethnic diversity, and rates of immigration, make collective action difficult to achieve (or maintain). Here I examine whether immigration can explain why ethnic diversity is negatively associated with collective action. The focus is on two aspects of collective action for common property management (that is, voluntary contributions to toilet construction and vol…

Commons Management in Migrant Communities
This article examines whether (and why) migrant communities are less likely to support institutions for managing common pool resources. Focusing on Buvuma Island, which is situated in Uganda’s portion of Lake Victoria, I study the efforts at locally supporting forestry regulations among randomly selected communities. These communities have varying proportions of both immigrants and prospective out-migrants, and they are confronting the degradatio…
