Agents of Technology Localization in East Africa
Technology localization refers to activities that seek to make particular technologies locally functional and locally embedded in order to overcome resistance to their adoption.

Contextualising emergency responses to famine among Turkana pastoralists in Kenya
The pastoralism of the Turkana has persisted in the challenging environment of northwestern Kenya for some 200 years.

Vale and its corporate sustainability performance in Itabira, Brazil
This paper looks at two questions underexplored in the corporate responsibility literature and of interest to impact assessment researchers. In low-income resource-rich communities with weak governance systems, what exactly does corporate commitment to sustainability achieve for the local community, and what is the role of government? The role of EIA? These are examined with reference to Vale's mining operations in Itabira, Brazil. Through the vo…
Contentious politics in environmental assessment
Environmental assessment (EA) is now institutionalized in over 100 countries but is widely criticized by practitioners and analysts for failing to convince decision-makers. Environmental sustainability is still not placed high on the list of criteria influencing project and programme approvals. This paper suggests that the failure of EA reflects the politically contested domain of EA. A framework for the analysis of public participation in EA bas…

Sustainable development and the nics
Sustainable development has achieved wide currency as a policy objective integrating environmental and developmental concerns. It adds an environmental decision to an already politically and theoretically contested development debate. Representatives of the low-consumption countries of the South have long questioned the validity of existing distributions of economic development and have demanded some form of redistribution of assets, income and m…
Structural adjustment programmes and the Unced agenda
One of the striking areas of agreement at the 1992 United Nations Conference in Environment and Development (UNCED) was over the importance of economic efficiency as a means to environmental ends. The language of economic efficiency and structural adjustment permeates UNCED documentation. The contradictions between economic efficiency and environmental sustainability can be illustrated by examining the market‐oriented structural adjustment progra…
