Adaptive Spaces and Rural Futures
Contemporary rural change in Southeast Asia is shaped by complex, intersecting forces that defy simplistic narratives. Researchers must therefore develop new ways to grasp nuanced, non‐linear, and locally specific processes to understand how transformational shifts may occur (or not) in the region. This collection of articles explores how climate change, agrarian dynamics, and knowledge politics intersect to produce ‘adaptive spaces’, where poten…

Envisioning Climate Politics From Below
Climate Change is political ‘all the way down’. Yet, the nature of the ‘everyday politics’ emerging from below as climate change impacts rural societies remains underexamined. How do increasing climate variability and climate policies shape agrarian politics and rural futures? How, in turn, do agrarian politics, practices and aspirations for specific rural futures influence the perception of climate change and the implementation of climate polici…

Ascertainment of Patient Suicides by Veterans Affairs Facilities and Associations With Veteran, Clinical, and Suicide Characteristics
Objectives. To evaluate the sensitivity of health care facility documentation of suicide deaths among US veterans with recent Veterans Health Administration (VHA) care and assess variation in identification by veteran, clinical, and suicide death characteristics. Methods. Cross-sectional analyses included 11 148 veterans who died by suicide in 2013 to 2017, per National Death Index death certificate information, with VHA encounters in the year of…
A rapid assessment framework for food system shocks
The frequency and severity of shocks to food systems is accelerating globally, exemplified by the current COVID-19 outbreak. In low- and middle-income countries, the impacts have exacerbated existing food system vulnerabilities and poverty. Governments and donors must respond quickly, but few tools are available that identify interventions to build food system resilience, or emerging opportunities for transformation. In this paper we reflect on t…

Indigenous Rights and Agrarian Justice Framings in Forest Land Conflicts in Indonesia
Community advocates for land rights justice in post-reformasi Indonesia frame their claims in terms of either indigenous (adat) rights or agrarian justice discourses. This study considers how these framings function, how effectively they support land rights struggles, and how they advance justice claims. The article provides analytical insights by comparing two conflicts involving communities and large-scale forest plantation companies in Sumatra…
The paradox of progressing sideways
Despite economic growth in middle-income countries across the global south, pockets of food poverty persist in the countryside. An accepted account suggests that many of the poor are stuck in a 'truncated agrarian transition' where neither agriculture nor labour markets provide sufficient opportunities. Yet, statistics indicate that many have moved out of poverty, even as undernourishment continues. Exploring an Indonesian periphery, this paper i…
Trajectories of land acquisition and enclosure
While the size and speculative nature of land transactions in the wake of energy, food and climate crises have surprised observers, the reasons for partial implementation of many land developments remain largely unexamined.This contribution investigates trajectories of land acquisition and enclosure by analyzing four acquisition processes in Indonesia -those associated with rice, oil palm, Jatropha and carbon sequestration -considering their impl…

Community Driven Development and Structural Disadvantage
Community-driven development (CDD) programmes have emerged on a large scale in the Global South following research and policy work regarding social capital, capabilities and empowerment. This paper analyses one of the largest international examples of the ‘social’ turn, examining the effects of the CDD approach in governmental, structural and relational terms. While the CDD approach successfully generated new political rationalities and governmen…
Land and Development in Indonesia
Indonesia was founded on the ideal of the “Sovereignty of the People”, which suggests the pre-eminence of people’s rights to access, use and control land to support their livelihoods. Yet, many questions remain unresolved. How can the state ensure access to land for agriculture and housing while also supporting land acquisition for investment in industry and infrastructure? What is to be done about indigenous rights? Do registration and titling p…

Reconsidering the links between poverty, international labour migration, and agrarian change
The role of international labour migration in processes leading to the (re)production of rural poverty in the rural South continues to shape critical academic and policy debate. While many studies have established that migration provides an important pathway to rural prosperity, they insufficiently analyse the profound effects that migration and remittances have on agrarian and rural livelihoods. This article uses the case of rural Nepal, where o…
The Conflicted Nature of Food Security Policy
Given the multiple problems presented by food policy, food security presents a complex dilemma for policy-makers. This paper examines the contradictions presented by competing food security, food self-sufficiency and food sovereignty framings, the challenge of policy-making across multiple levels amidst competing agendas of agricultural commodity production and production for self-provisioning populations, and the need to balance economic develop…

Predictive Modeling and Concentration of the Risk of Suicide
Objectives. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) evaluated the use of predictive modeling to identify patients at risk for suicide and to supplement ongoing care with risk-stratified interventions. Methods. Suicide data came from the National Death Index. Predictors were measures from VHA clinical records incorporating patient-months from October 1, 2008, to September 30, 2011, for all suicide decedents and 1% of living patients, divided rand…

Using community led development approaches to address vulnerability after disaster
Community Led Development and Vulnerability in a Post-Disaster Context
One reading of the social capital literature suggests that the networks and the social relationships which enable collective action can be used to address critical livelihood needs, even in disaster contexts. This paper concerns post-tsunami Aceh, where following the largest disaster in forty years, one of the biggest reconstruction programmes in history implemented livelihoods projects, making use of community led recovery approaches. This paper…
Processes of inclusion and adverse incorporation
Changes in globalised agriculture raise critical questions as rapid agricultural development leads to widespread social and environmental transformation. With increased global demand for vegetable oils and biofuel, in Indonesia the area under oil palm has doubled over the last decade. This paper presents a case study of how micro-processes that are linked to wider dynamics shape oil palm related agrarian change in villages in Sumatra, Indonesia. …
Policy narratives, landholder engagement, and oil palm expansion on the Malaysian and Indonesian frontiers
Over recent decades a structural transformation has affected agriculture in the frontier areas of Malaysian Borneo and Outer Island Indonesia with the rapid conversion of agricultural lands, fallows, and formerly forested areas into oil palm. These frontiers have similar positions in the international political economy of oil palm and have complementary resource endowments. In both cases, state planners face the common challenges of finding a dis…

Regulating the Oil Palm Boom
The large environmental impacts associated with agro-industrial development in Indonesia are both striking and increasingly important, especially with increased demand for biofuels and the rapid extension of oil palm plantations. Recently, Indonesia has also seen a series of transformations in the regulatory regime for pollution control with decentralization and a shift towards new environmental policy instruments. This article considers the effe…

Turning in Circles
Indonesia is rapidly losing its forests. In some measure this is due to the extensive illegal logging networks operating in heavily forested districts across the archipelago. While the extent of this critical problem is now understood, insufficient attention has been paid to its underlying political and social causes at the district level. Based on fieldwork carried out in Sumatra during 1996-1999, this article examines the emergence and operatio…

Certifying in Contested Spaces
Over recent years systems of civil or private regulation have emerged across several commodity sectors in developing countries. This paper compares two regulatory systems applied to parallel food and forestry problems: the Forest Stewardship Council (fsc) and the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (rspo). Analysing these regulatory systems as attempts to extend procedural and distributional justice into contested forested and agricultural spaces,…

Suicide Among Patients in the Veterans Affairs Health System
Objectives. Using national patient cohorts, we assessed rural–urban differences in suicide rates, risks, and methods in veterans. Methods. We identified all Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) patients in fiscal years 2003 to 2004 (FY03–04) alive at the start of FY04 (n = 5 447 257) and all patients in FY06–07 alive at the start of FY07 (n = 5 709 077). Mortality (FY04–05 and FY07–08) was assessed from National Death Index searches. Census criter…
Suicide Mortality Among Individuals Receiving Treatment for Depression in the Veterans Affairs Health System
Objectives. We sought to report clinical and demographic factors associated with suicide among depressed veterans in an attempt to determine what characteristics identified depressed veterans at high risk for suicide. Methods. We used longitudinal, nationally representative data (1999–2004) to determine suicide rates among depressed veterans, estimating time until suicide using Cox proportional hazards regression models. Results. Of 807694 vetera…
Status Differences in Cross-Functional Teams
Cross-functional teams (CFTs) play an increasingly important role in health care. However, despite their potential, CFTs often fail to function effectively. This paper contributes to the literature in medical sociology by examining how the steep and well-defined hierarchy characteristic of the health occupations proves to be dysfunctional in the CFT setting. Previous research has shown that status differences among members of work teams negativel…
The Changing Regime
This article explores the dominant explanations of the failure of forest management in Indonesia within the public discourse of the late New Order period. Drawing on a review of salient literature and relevant case studies, the major part of the article discusses the underlying historical, institutional and political causes of the failure of the state property regime. By taking a narrow view of the issues, public discourse during the New Order (1…

Experimental Control, Subject Selection, and Problems of Generalization in Research with Schizophrenic S s
This report focuses on the severe reduction in sample size caused by the introduction of experimental controls in research with schizophrenic Ss and the limitations which this places on the generalizing of findings to the total population of schizophrenics. The selection procedures of a representative study were examined, and it was found that Ss meeting the selection criteria represented only 11.4% of the male schizophrenics in the hospital and …
Who are Paranoid Schizophrenics
The importance of the paranoid-nonparanoid dichotomy in research with schizophrenic Ss was discussed and the question raised as to the equivalence of the various procedures of differential diagnosis reported in the literature. For 65 schizophrenic Ss, classification into paranoid and nonparanoid subgroups was made on the basis of both ward-record diagnosis and a current assessment. There was agreement between the two on 41 cases (63%) but disagre…

A personal monitoring study to assess workplace exposure to environmental tobacco smoke
We enrolled 15 nonsmoking volunteers to evaluate the feasibility of measuring personal exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) at work and to characterize workplace exposures. During one workshift, we obtained questionnaires on exposure, saliva and urine for cotinine, and personal air samples for respirable particles and nicotine. The levels of cotinine, respirable particles, and nicotine varied widely with self-reports of exposure to ETS, …
The case for language awareness in the Irish primary school curriculum
Some 21% of primary schoolchildren in the Irish Republic are currently learning a foreign language on a fee‐paying, extracurricular basis. This substantial phenomenon is developing largely in an unstructured manner — there is little if any coordination between primary and post‐primary programmes and other language learning. This paper raises some of the related theoretical issues and proposes a framework within which an integrated approach with o…
Towards a conceptual framework for implementing a cross‐curricular approach to language awareness in the school curriculum 1
One of the most important perceived benefits of language awareness is its facilitative effect on all language learning, and it has been assumed that this effect is increased by establishing linkages and pathways between the learners’ various language learning experiences. At the same time, among the major problems identified as militating against a cross‐curricular approach has been the lack of suggestions for bringing together teachers of the mo…
