Regional identity-building processes in the in-between spaces of city-regions
Mega-regionalisation is reshaping regional development patterns, drawing attention to both city-regions and ‘in-between spaces of city-regions’ (ISCRs) within a megaregional system. However, it remains unclear how regional identities emerge in such intermediary territories when infrastructure investment and corridor development reorganise territorial relations before a coherent region takes shape. Existing regional identity studies primarily focu…
Special Economic Zones and the integration of spatial considerations
Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are often framed as tools for regional development, yet research has largely overlooked how national regulatory design shapes their trajectories. This paper examines Indonesia, a decentralised archipelago with significant regional disparities, to assess how its SEZ legal and regulatory framework produces either isolated enclaves or place-based embedded outcomes. It offers a content analysis of SEZ-specific and sector…
Understanding informal mechanisms in integrated urban water management (Iuwm)
A paradigm shift from segregated water management to an integrated approach is receiving increasing attention since fragmentation affects urban water availability. Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) may enhance coordination between policies and actors, thereby establishing internal and external coherence for the efficient use of water resources, equitable and universal water distribution, and environmental conservation. However, studies on …
The Dutch fisheries sector and the North Sea Accord
Integrated, participatory forms of marine governance can form a basis of stakeholder support on which to base increasingly complex marine planning efforts, in the EU and beyond. Yet such stakeholder support is often the product of a constellation of external factors at the local, national and international level as well as of the internal organisation of a given interest group. This paper presents a qualitative study of an outlier case, examining…
Connecting Soft Power, Message Framing, and Political Actors’ Involvement in Online Media
The research aims to examine media message framing in the selected Southeast Asia countries (Indonesia and the Philippines) surrounding events focusing on ASEAN’s 50th anniversary in 2017. The research explores the relations between media framing and ASEAN’s soft power, taking an interdisciplinary research approach combining political communication studies and international relations. The concept of soft power is divided into (a) strategic narrat…
Activism and non-activism
This paper aims to explore how under authoritarian regimes, undergoing reform processes, divergent forms of environmental activism may emerge. Two severe cases of environmental degradation serve as our starting points: the marine disaster in the central coast of Vietnam in 2016 and the Mekong Delta's ongoing environmental degradation. While the former offers a case of rural grievances over mass fish death in Central Vietnam triggering protests on…
National Human Rights Institutions (nhris) in asean
This paper analyses and compares the protection capacity of National Human Rights Institutions ( nhri s) in the Philippines and Thailand, as well as the impact of governmental action on their performances. Here, protection capacity means the extent to which the law authorizes the nhri s to carry out protective functions in dealing with human rights violations. This comparison evidences that the Philippines’ nhri has greater protection capacity an…

Human Rights Norm Diffusion in Southeast Asia
Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) have played an increasingly vocal role in their struggle to advance both human rights protection and promotion in Southeast Asian countries. Most notably, CSOs have become a more important actor in dealing with human rights issues in particular by virtue of their role in drawing attention to human rights violations. In the case of massive human rights violations happening in Southeast Asia, CSOs pursue various s…
State‐Sponsored Homophobia and the Denial of the Right of Assembly in C entral and E astern E urope
State‐sponsored homophobia emerged in certain C entral and E astern E uropean states in the past decade, with the denial of the right of assembly for gay pride marches. However, more recently there has been progress in the recognition of the fundamental democratic right of assembly. What accounts for this progress in fulfilling commitments enshrined in the E uropean human rights treaties? This article proposes that the response of E uropean organ…

Bonding, bridging and ethnic minorities in the Netherlands
The discourse on the integration of ethnic minorities in the Netherlands has undergone profound changes over the past few decades. This article analyses how discourses in politics and academia have revolved around changing emphases upon the social capital processes of ‘bonding’ of individuals within groups and ‘bridging’ of individuals to the wider society. Four episodes of discourse and policy may be distinguished: denial of being a country of i…
Democratic Legitimacy and the European Union
This is an introduction to a Special Issue that first considers representative and deliberative conceptions of democratic legitimacy in the EU, and then presents empirical research on how the institutions of the EU are attempting to increase the democratic legitimacy of the multi‐level political system. The first three articles concern central democratic concepts and use political theory and institutional analysis. The second set of three article…
The power of opposition parliamentary party groups in European scrutiny
This paper investigates the power of opposition parliamentary party groups when scrutinising their governments' decision-making concerning European Union issues, an important component in assuring democracy within the emerging multi-level system of governance in the EU. It first sets out the advantages that this provides to the political system, including improving government performance, improved democratic legitimacy, the channelling of disagre…
National Parliamentary Scrutiny Over EU Issues
This article compares national parliamentary scrutiny over European Union matters in two countries with coalition governments, Germany and the Netherlands, based on interviews with members of parliament serving on their European Affairs Committee. While acknowledging that legal powers and institutional structures are important when evaluating parliamentary-government relations, the examination focuses on the goals and methods of party groups when…
Campaign Communication and Strategic Responses to Change in the Electoral Environment
This study presents a priming model of party competition which proposes that broad-based parties adapt their campaign communication to respond strategically to changes in their electoral environment. Party competition during election campaigns is seen as the struggle to `prime' the electorate; i.e. to set the electorate's agenda and the criteria for which the electorate will evaluate the parties. This model is used to analyze the strategic respon…
