Localising aid
Globally, tens of millions of forcibly displaced people live in informal urban neighbourhoods. Although critical sites for humanitarian and development intervention, municipal authorities may have only a limited presence. Especially in conflict and post‐conflict settings, other non‐state actors emerge to compete for public authority. While the localisation agenda of international donors seeks to better engage local governance actors, little is kn…
Migrant digital placemaking for wellbeing
This article analyses migrants’ use of social media and considers their relation to placemaking and urban wellbeing. It develops an easy to replicate experimental methodology drawing on netnography techniques to analyse Facebook group activity by Latin-American migrants in and on their way to London. Findings indicate that Facebook offers a multitude of public spaces facilitating mundane activities that are significantly generative of material, r…
Displaceability, placemaking and urban wellbeing
This Special Issue of Wellbeing, Space & Society aims to shed new light on locally grounded and contested processes of placemaking in a global context of profound urban displacement. It examines placemak?ing as the processes by which spaces are imbued with meaning to become places (Ho and Douglass, 2008) and assesses its significance for displaced people’s wellbeing
Urban displacement and placemaking in public space for wellbeing
Cities and towns are critical geographies of refuge for a globally unprecedented number of forcibly displaced people. Yet urban processes also expose these groups and the local urban poor to recurrent displacements. While such experiences are shared, studies often treat these populations as distinct. Drawing on Yiftachel’s notion of displaceability, this paper systematically reviews and synthesizes a global literature on diversely displaced peopl…
Social Assistance and Forced Displacement
Social protection is a well-accepted means to tackle poverty. This article focuses on social assistance, one aspect of social protection primarily involving non-contributory transfers, in cash or in-kind. Forcibly displaced people, particularly those displaced across international borders, have typically been excluded from state-provided social assistance. This has begun to change. In addition, informal sources of social assistance—community orga…
Land registry in Syria after a decade of conflict
This study offers an original analysis into the nature of the governance of the land registry system in three Syrian cities controlled by armed non‐state actors during the civil war. It adopts aqualitative methodology to compare Douma, al Raqqa and Idlib. The management of the land registry has witnessed both localised transformations and significant resilience. As state institutions collapsed and new non‐state governing actors emerged, the old l…
Framing ‘slums’
Slums and informal settlements have long been a policy concern, particularly in post-independence cities of the global South. Although national and local governments devise public policy seeking to address these habitations, these policy initiatives occur in conversation with the often far less visible global policy discourses of international urban development actors. Positing their ideational influence, this study analyses how global discourses…
Bringing together urban systems and food systems theory and research is overdue
Urban dwellers’ food and nutritional wellbeing are both dependent on infrastructure and can be indicative of wider wellbeing in urban contexts and societal health. This paper focuses on the multiple relationships that exist between food and infrastructure to provide a thorough theoretical and empirical grounding to urgent work on urban food security and nutrition in the context of rapid urban and nutrition transitions in the South. We argue that …

How to prevent and address safeguarding concerns in global health research programmes
Safeguarding is rapidly rising up the international development agenda, yet literature on safeguarding in related research is limited. This paper shares processes and practice relating to safeguarding within an international research consortium (the ARISE hub, known as ARISE). ARISE aims to enhance accountability and improve the health and well-being of marginalised people living and working in informal urban spaces in low-income and middle-incom…
Evaluating Parliamentary Advocacy for Nutrition in Tanzania
Process Tracing the Policy Impact of ‘Indicators’
In recent years, a range of new indices, benchmarking and scorecard tools—also known as ‘indicators’—have been developed to influence public policy and to promote accountability. While subjected to important technical and political critiques, the policy impact of ‘indicators’ is often assumed yet rarely demonstrated. Suitable evaluative methods are in their infancy. This article adopts an innovative process tracing analysis to assess the policy i…
A Common Sense Approach to the Right to Food
Despite growing activism around the right to food in the past decade, there has been little exploration of how people understand the right and its implications. This article analyses original research that explored how people at risk of hunger understood the right to food in diverse settings in Africa, Asia and Latin America, in the aftermath of the global food crisis of 2008. The article explores understandings of the term in different contexts,…
Wellbeing and urban governance
We analyse wellbeing priorities and satisfactions in seven informal settlements in three Bangladeshi cities (Dhaka, Chittagong, Bogra) • Wellbeing priorities are similar across settlements but satisfaction with achieved wellbeing outcomes differs by site and by socio-economic groups • People's subjective assessments of how they fare on wellbeing priorities are consistent with relevant objective indicators of their wellbeing • Wellbeing outcomes a…

Choosing between Research Rigour or Support for Advocacy Movements, a False Dichotomy
Using the case study of the Hunger and Nutrition Commitment Index (HANCI), this article seeks to answer key questions relating to the conceptualisation and operationalisation of engaged excellence, exploring the tensions between research and policy advocacy. While the concept of ‘engaged excellence’ recognises that excellence can be constituted by high‐quality research as well as by research that supports efforts to influence policy, it could be …
Equate and Conflate
As political commitment is an essential ingredient for elevating food and nutrition security onto policy agendas, commitment metrics have proliferated. Many conflate government commitment to fight hunger with combating undernutrition. We test the hypothesis that commitment to hunger reduction is empirically different from commitment to reducing undernutrition through expert surveys in five high-burden countries: Bangladesh, Malawi, Nepal, Tanzani…

Young People in African (Agricultural) Policy Processes? What National Youth Policies Can Tell Us
The ‘youth in agriculture problem’ makes up part of a growing set of ‘youth in development’ issues occupying the minds of aid practitioners and bilateral and multilateral donors. Aid agendas seek to enhance youth participation in policy processes and mainstream youth?related goals on health, education, employment and governance into development policies. Yet, these agendas routinely ignore national youth policies (NYPs), which in many African cou…
Introduction
In introducing this collection of articles we argue that policy framing and policy responses to the ‘problem’ of young people and agriculture in Africa are hampered by a lack of research and evidence that is theoretically and historically informed, conceptually sound and context sensitive. The result is policy that is well intentioned, but unlikely to address the underlying social or agricultural concerns. To address this we outline a research ag…
Measuring Political Commitment to Reducing Hunger and Under-nutrition
Food justice in India requires stronger governance and greater political commitment. This article introduces the Hunger Reduction Commitment Index (HRCI): a novel approach to assess governments' political commitment to reduce hunger and malnutrition. Cross-country comparisons and within-country analyses aim to demystify what such commitment may look like, in order to foster accountability and to provide practical policy directions for civil socie…
Democratic Governance for Social Justice
This overview introduces three articles that examine some of the varying forms and dimensions of the politics of social protection policies and programmes, to give us an insight into their transformative potential. The analysis highlights the importance of the multitude of actors and their interactions that mediate the processes and outcomes of social protection programming, in both the policymaking and implementing arenas. This demands attention…
