A critical political economy approach to agroecological transitions: A social multi-criteria evaluation of agricultural policies in Senegal
Globally, food systems are at the center of an ecological, social, and health crisis. In the Global South, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the reorganization of food systems is crucial to achieving economic development while addressing the various crises. Raising agricultural productivity is important, within a broader development strategy, if it does not imply the destitution of millions of peasants. Agroecology, with its focus on labo…
A Marxist critique of Circular Economy: From alienation to ecological civilization
The Circular Economy (CE) represents a highly popular articulation of the environmental discourse and practice. It is loaded with expectations to achieving the necessary transition towards a sustainable development model. In this article, we begin by pointing to the constraints posed to the CE by the laws of thermodynamics. Subsequently, we discuss why, despite the thermodynamic critique, the environmental discourse and practice remains predomina…
Changing social relations of production is essential to advance a sustainability transformation
The world is facing a polycrisis, in terms of both environmental and social dysfunctions. A powerful call for transformation has emerged from both the scientific and the political communities. A significant amount of research suggests that the root of the polycrisis lies in the global integration of production, distribution and consumption into capitalism. The sustainability transformation literature openly refers to the need to transcend capital…
Why Economic Valuation Does Not Value the Environment: Climate Policy as Collective Endeavour
Economics takes an individualistic approach to human behaviour. This is reflected in the use of ‘contingent valuation’ surveys to conduct cost benefit analysis for economic policy evaluation. An individual's valuation of a policy is assumed to be unaffected by the burdens it places on others. We report a survey experiment to test this supposition in the context of climate change policy. Willingness to pay for climate change mitigation was higher …
Using the Constitutionality Framework to Understand Alliances, Collective Action, and Divisions Between Indigenous and Peasant Communities in the Chaco Salteño
This article analyzes bottom-up institution-building processes in a region considered deforestation and environmental degradation hotspot. Utilizing the constitutionality approach developed by Haller, Acciaioli, and Rist (2016), we examine two recent cases of bottom-up institution-building in the department of Rivadavia, Chaco Salteño, Argentina. We highlight the similarities and differences between both constitutionality processes and identify v…
The dialectics of capital: Learning from Gran Chaco
The critical impact of humans on the biosphere has led scientists to coin the term Anthropocene. The global environmental changes associated with it are happening under the aegis of capitalism. A transition towards sustainability requires a critical scrutiny of capitalism. The social–ecological system (SES) approach conceptualises the relationship between the socio-economic subsystem and the biosphere. However, in its various operationalisations …
The role of protected areas and land tenure regimes on forest loss in Bolivia: Accounting for spatial spillovers
Talking about trees: The territorial classification of native forests in the Argentinian Chaco
Deforestation represents an important contributor to climate change. For this reason, identifying conditions that enable the adoption of policies halting or reversing this process is crucial to avoid catastrophic climate change. The Argentinian Gran Chaco is a hotspot of deforestation, mainly due to the expansion of capital-intensive agriculture. In Argentina, the introduction of the national forest law (NFL) represents an important step to prote…
Social multi-criteria evaluation of land-use scenarios in the Chaco Salteño: Complementing the three-pillar sustainability approach with environmental justice
Perceptions on deforestation in the Chaco salteño: An environmental justice perspective
This note analyses the issue of deforestation in the Gran Chaco from an environmental justice perspective. The main purpose of the article is to understand the prevailing perceptions on the issue of deforestation and to assess possible ways forward. For this purpose, first the results of qualitative interviews were analysed through the use of Q method, which allows classifying local perceptions on deforestation in the Chaco Salteño through the us…
Perceptions of deforestation in the Argentinean Chaco: Combining Q-method and environmental justice
The super-rich and cropland expansion via direct investments in agriculture
Understanding the adoption of sustainable silvopastoral practices in Northern Argentina: What is the role of land tenure
Indigenous peoples' land rights and agricultural expansion in Latin America: A dynamic panel data approach
Assessing adaptive capacity through governance networks: The elaboration of the flood risk management plan in Austria
Jevons paradox and the loss of natural habitat in the Argentinean Chaco: The impact of the indigenous communities’ land titling and the Forest Law in the province of Salta
Prescriptive conflict prevention analysis: An application to the 2021 update of the Austrian flood risk management plan
Flood events have become more frequent in Europe, and the adaptation to the increasing flood risks is needed. The Flood Directive set up a series of measures to increase European resilience, establishing Flood Risk Management Plans (FRMPs) at the level of the river basin district as one relevant action. In order to efficiently fulfil this objective, the involvement of stakeholders as well as the analysis of their roles, responsibilities, and dema…
