Framing the Problem of Flood Risk and Flood Management in Metropolitan Los Angeles
This paper develops the concept of flood problem framing to understand decision-makers’ priorities in flood risk management in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Region in California (LA Metro). Problem frames shape an individual’s preferences for particular management strategies and their future behaviors. While flooding is a complex, multifaceted problem, with multiple causes and multiple impacts, a decision-maker is most likely to manage only those …
Research note: Climate change, peri-urban space and emerging infectious disease
There is a growing need to (1) better understand spaces in which human-animal interactions occur in ways that increase the risk of emerging infectious disease (EID), and (2) identify the opportunities for mitigating EID risk available to urban planning. Peri-urban areas—which are typically under-governed, undergoing significant environmental change and highly susceptible to zoonotic disease transfer--are especially important in this regard. In th…
Climate change‐triggered land degradation and planetary health: A review
Land is a vital natural resource for human socio‐ecological wellbeing. Around the world, land is being degraded due to various natural and anthropogenic factors such as flooding, wind erosion, agriculture and human settlement, and anthropogenic climate change. While significant research has been conducted on the separate dyads of: (1) anthropogenic climate change and land degradation and (2) land degradation and health, limited consideration has …

The past and future(s) of environmental peacebuilding
Environmental peacebuilding is a rapidly growing field of research and practice at the intersection of environment, conflict, peace and security. Focusing on these linkages is crucial in a time when the environment is a core issue of international politics and the number of armed conflicts remains high. This article introduces a special issue with a particular emphasis on environmental opportunities for building and sustaining peace. We first det…

Public Perceptions of Traumatic Events and Policy Preferences during the George W. Bush Administration: A Portrait of America in Turbulent Times
The American policy landscape during the George W. Bush administration was shaped by a series of traumatic events that confronted the nation and people of the United States. These included the terrorist attacks of 9/11 in 2001, the anthrax attacks in the fall of 2001, military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the threat of a flu pandemic in 2005 and 2006, the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, and t…

From Resource Scarcity to Ecological Security: Exploring New Limits to Growth
The Limits of Terrorism: A Network Perspective1
Capturing the spirit of the late 1970s and early 1980s, Robert Gilpin (1981) explained how the diffusion of technology and other capabilities was leading to the decline of US hegemony relative to rising challengers. After a brief hiatus during the halcyon decade of the 1990s that followed the end of the Cold War, the hegemon is once again under siege. This time, however, networks of discontented individuals and groups have joined the ranks of sta…
Single planet, divided world
Unlike other forms of life on planet earth, humans have contrived to flourish—or at least multiply—by splitting themselves horizontally into incommensurable units and vertically into a species above, or privileged within, the realm of nature. The human proclivity for division, exclusion, and alienation is not absolute; it is endlessly challenged and often diluted by integrating tendencies. Historically, phenomena such as Christianity and liberali…
