  • Representations of ‘the local’ in British colonial and contemporary business media (1850s–2010s)

    Open AccessFelicity Goldsmith, Grace Y Wong et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2026

    Printed business media, such as daily newspapers and periodicals, historically played a central role in public understanding of the colonial enterprise. They informed and shaped the view of entrepreneurial activities, often with the effect of legitimising the colonial project. We explore representations of ‘the local’ within business media, how these have changed (or not) over time, and the mechanisms that facilitate the stickiness of representat…

  • Evaluating transformative policies in complex land-use systems

    Open AccessN Droste, Huntley Brownell et al.ARTICLEEcological Economics2025Referências: 19

    Policies that facilitate sustainability transformations require knowledge about the dynamics of complex socio-ecological systems, including biophysical mechanisms and diverse human-nature relationships. Such a comprehensive evidence base can only be built by integrating multiple types of knowledges. Ontology, epistemology, and semantics are a well-established terminology to structure and facilitate such knowledge integration. Co-creation with soc…

  • Forest Ethnography

    Open AccessAyonghe Akonwi Nebasifu, Sakah Bernard Nsaidzedze et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2025Referências: 23

    Ethnography has increasingly gained prestige in the forest arena, challenging various assumptions about people-nature relations. The importance of participant observation in navigating turbulent forest environments is often overlooked, as demonstrated in the lead author's dissertation, "Knowledge Integration in Co-management," a 6-year study with the People of the Mount Cameroon National Park (MCNP) published in 2022. We argue that revisiting beh…

  • Forest policy in Nordic countries

    Open AccessAyonghe Akonwi Nebasifu, Niina Pietarinen et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2024

    There are broad calls in national and international forest policy processes for basing decision-making on the best obtainable scientific knowledge. Simultaneously, there is also a need to accommodate plural values and objectives people and society in general have associated with forests. An essential step for building an evidence base that accommodates pluralistic understandings is to capture informant views on forest policies and the alternative…

  • Mapping two centuries of forest governance in Nordic countries

    Open AccessAlexia Fridén, Dalia D’amato et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2024Citada por: 3Referências: 14

    Forest ecosystems play a crucial role in the production and protection of economic, social, and environmental values. To understand current challenges and trajectories shaping future strategies within the Nordic forest sector, it is important to map and trace past and present policy and governance developments. The core contribution of this short communication is to present an open-access database that compiles key forest-related public national …

  • Comparing Nordic forest governance

    Open AccessAyonghe Akonwi Nebasifu, Dalia D’amato et al.ARTICLEForest Policy and Economics2024Citada por: 3Referências: 1

    There is a growing call for comparative analyses of forest governance to facilitate knowledge exchange for the sustainable management of Nordic forest systems, addressing the needs of societal stakeholders in enhancing both the quality and quantity of forest resources. This study traces the development of nation-wide policy instruments implemented in four Nordic countries; Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark between 1970 and 2023, based on interv…

  • Prospects for Localizing Co-management

    Ayonghe Akonwi Nebasifu, Francisco CuogoARTICLEInternational Critical Thought2021Referências: 14

    Since the institutionalization of biodiversity conservation in the 1980s, co-management has been employed as an economic policy for regulating the joint use of natural resources. However, barriers to its effectiveness may at times arise, as when imported initiatives are poorly acculturated to local needs. Inspired by contributions on the commons, globalization, and critical policy studies, we examine lapses in co-management and related natural re…

  • Discourses of Cultural Continuity among the Bakweri of Mount Cameroon National Park

    Open AccessAyonghe Akonwi Nebasifu, Ngoindong Majory AtongARTICLECulture and Local Governance2020

    In recent years, the separation of people from their land through protected areas and conservation initiatives of local governance has been at the core of criticism in the people–park discourse. However, vital questions remain as to how people maintain cultural relations to parks and their peripheral zones. This paper explores circumstances where people are not entirely disconnected from their culture despite the state management of Mount Cameroo…

  • Expressing agency in antagonistic policy environments

    Open AccessAyonghe Akonwi Nebasifu, Ngoindong Majory AtongARTICLEEnvironmental Sociology2019Citada por: 1Referências: 5

    Studies have shown how centralized institutions in resource management lead to adverse impacts on communities. However, important questions remain about the mechanisms through which people thrive under unfavorable policy environments. This paper examines how locals around the Mount Cameroon National Park (MCNP) carve space for articulating their agency despite unsympathetic management initiatives. Using focus group discussions and thematic analys…
