Analyzing citizens' preferences for sufficiency policy in municipalities — An experimental approach
Sufficiency policies address unsustainable consumption and production patterns by promoting ways of living and economies that prioritize “enough” over “more,” reducing resource use while safeguarding fundamental human needs. Public support is crucial for the effective implementation of sufficiency policies, yet empirical research on citizens' preferences and their underlying mechanisms remains scarce—particularly concerning quantitative studies a…
Alpine Spatial Planning, Energy Transition, and Open Spaces
Energy, climate, and biodiversity crises pose major challenges to the European Alps. A rapid energy transition is needed, which is linked to the expansion of renewable energies that will lead to further intensified industrial use of the Alpine environment. However, the biodiversity crisis makes the restoration of ecosystems and the proactive preservation of open spaces imperative. Alpine spatial planning serves as a regulatory instrument for addr…
Advancing national Shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs)
Combined composition- and derivation-based approach to create up-to-date SSPs. • Complied quality requirements result in legitimate, plausible, consistent scenarios. • Proposed procedure provides national SSPs on a new basis. • Up-to-date SSPs include new scenario variant covering new type of societal future. • Broad public and expert participation suitable for national scenarios. Socioeconomic scenarios have become an important instrument for ad…
Sufficiency policy
Compared to the prevailing sustainability strategies of efficiency and consistency, sufficiency is poorly represented both in scientific literature and in political debate but has increasingly gained attention in recent years. However, the discussion lacks a uniform understanding on sufficiency policy and how to conceptualize it. Furthermore, the sufficiency scholarship neglects the role of municipalities in realizing sufficiency policies. This a…
Regenerative tourism in Australian wine regions
The tourism industry is complex and deeply embedded into the social, environmental, and cultural fabric of social-ecological systems. Tourism presents an additional rural development pathway for regions to diversify their economies and strengthen resilience at both micro (individual/business) and macro (community/regional) scales. In an Australian context, expansion of the tourism industry is an important strategy for rural development, particula…
Rethinking geographies of sovereignty
We engage with debates on shifting geographies of sovereignty in the digital age by providing a conceptual framework for "situated sovereignty". Our contribution draws on a review of the scholarly literature and current sovereignty practices. We aim to move beyond state-centred and territorial understandings of sovereignty. A common discussion is the necessity of reconfiguring notions of sovereignty. However, hardly any studies have discussed the…
Assessing Spatial Planning Outcomes – A Novel Framework Based on Conformance and Governance Capacities
Most studies use quantitative measures to assess spatial planning outcomes. Instead, this paper proposes a novel qualitative framework to assess spatial planning outcomes that seek to understand why outcomes conform to, or deviate from, the intentions of spatial planning instruments. This novel framework links the conformance perspective with governance research. We tested our analytical framework in six Swiss and German municipalities. Drawing o…

Open Spaces in Alpine Countries
Open spaces in the Alps are becoming noticeably scarcer, and the long-term consequences for humans and the environment are often overlooked. Open spaces preserve ecosystem services but are under pressure in many Alpine valleys due to demographic and economic development as well as corresponding technical and tourism infrastructure. This article conceptualizes and measures open spaces in Alpine environments. In addition to analyzing existing spati…
Responding to the Covid‐19 Crisis
In the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) crisis, uncertain and experimental forms of governance have emerged. Administrative routines and established management techniques have dissolved amid emergency actions and management by the state of exception. We refer to these emerging governance forms as transformative governance. Discussing examples from Switzerland, we illustrate how policy responses to COVID‐19 reflect transformative govern…
Exploring the linguistic landscape of Cameroon
This contribution focuses on the study of Linguistic Landscapes in the Central/Western African state of Cameroon, with particular reference to its capital, Yaoundé. Linguistic landscapes is a relatively recent area of research, and can be broadly defined as the visual representation of languages in public space. This paper will show that the field of linguistic landscapes can act as a reflection of linguistic hierarchies, ideologies and acts of r…

Endangered Languages and Languages in Danger
This peer-reviewed collection brings together the latest research on language endangerment and language rights. It creates a vibrant, interdisciplinary platform for the discussion of the most pertinent and urgent topics central to vitality and equality of languages in today's globalised world. The novelty of the volume lies in the multifaceted view on the variety of dangers that languages face today, such as extinction through dwindling speaker p…

Winter Tourism, Climate Change, and Snowmaking in the Swiss Alps
Technical snowmaking has become an important measure in winter tourism destinations to deal with decreasing snow reliability, seasonal weather variability, and growing customer demand. This study analyzes tourists' attitudes toward technical snowmaking, their preferences for snow reliability, and other factors that influence destination choice. We interviewed tourists at 3 Swiss winter tourism destinations: Davos, Scuol, and Braunwald. In additio…
Winter Tourism and Climate Change in the Alps
The winter tourism industry is facing considerable challenges with climate change; it is increasingly responding with investments in snowmaking facilities. We present a study on 3 tourism destinations in the Swiss Alps that addressed resource consumption of snowmaking, snow reliability, and future snowmaking potential in a warmer climate. The energy consumption of snowmaking in the ski resorts was in the lower range of what could be expected from…
The Future of French in Nigeria's Language Policies
In a surprise announcement in December 1996 in a speech at the Nigerian Institute for International Affairs, the late Nigerian Head of State, General Sani Abacha said ‘Nigeria is resolutely launching a programme of national language training that will in a short order, permit our country to become thoroughly bilingual’.1 1. General Abacha's idea of Nigeria becoming ‘thoroughly bilingual’ should not be interpreted as being a parallel with the situ…
'Along the Routes to Power'
Explorations in Linguistic Relativity
About a century after the year Benjamin Lee Whorf (1897–1941) was born, his theory complex is still the object of keen interest to linguists. Rencently, scholars have argued that it was not his theory complex itself, but an over-simplified, reduced section taken out of context that has become known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis that has met with so much resistance among linguists over the last few decades. Not only did Whorf present his views muc…

Language maintenance & language shift in the speech behaviour of German‐Australian migrants in Canberra
This paper is an attempt to describe and analyse the speech behaviour of one particular ethnic minority in Australia which is said to constitute the fifth biggest overseas‐born group from outside the British Isles, i.e. the German speech community in Canberra. It is not the purpose of this paper to describe the linguistic competence of the German community members, but rather their use of German and/or English in different situations from the per…
