Leadership Starts From Within
Developing identity structures that enable leaders to grow and be adaptive is an important element for leader development. Our aim is to shift theorizing on leader identity development beyond a singular leader identity toward developing “leader identity interconnectedness”—that is, higher levels of complexity in how individuals situate their leader identity within their network of multiple salient identities. We propose a framework for identity-b…
Developing international guidance to make impact assessment follow-up happen – reflections on an interactive design process
To advance impact assessment (IA) practice worldwide the International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA) has long promoted and published a series of international best practice principles, including the recently revised best practice principles for IA follow-up. IA follow-up refers to any kind of undertaking that seeks to ‘understand the outcomes of projects or plans’ that have been subject to IA. To support the implementation of these pri…
Kropotkin, Pyotr (1842–1921)
Pyotr Kropotkin was a nineteenth‐ and early twentieth‐century Russian political philosopher, scientist, historian, explorer, and writer. He is best known for relinquishing his noble birthright for a life as an anarchist promoting social and economic revolution, his theory of mutual aid as a factor of evolution, and his attempt to develop a brand of so‐called “scientific” anarchism. His work spoke to a number of contemporary concerns and conversat…
Strategic environmental assessment of urban plans in New Zealand
This paper aims to understand the practice of SEA in the urban development sector in New Zealand. In New Zealand, SEA has been practiced over the last two decades under the Resource Management Act (RMA) of 1991. Given this legal context, the SEA process of a major urban plan was evaluated against a set of procedural criteria. The results indicate that the SEA has, in general, fulfilled key procedural requirements, albeit with a few shortcomings. …
Reassessing the Role of Theory and Machine Learning in Forecasting Civil Conflict
We examine the research protocols in Blair and Sambanis’ recent article on forecasting civil wars, where they argue that their theory-based model can predict civil war onsets better than several atheoretical alternatives or a model with country-structural factors. We find that there are several important mistakes and that their key finding is entirely conditional on the use of parametrically smoothed ROC curves when calculating accuracy, rather t…
The Making of Kropotkin’s Anarchist Thought
This book argues that the Russian thinker Petr Kropotkin’s anarchism was a bio-political revolutionary project. It shows how Kropotkin drew on late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century European and Russian bio-social-medical scientific thought to the extent that ideas about health, sickness, insanity, degeneration, and hygiene were for him not metaphors but rather key political concerns. It goes on to discuss how for Kropotkin's bio-political …
Strategic environmental assessment of urban plans in Australia
This paper aims to understand the procedural effectiveness of strategic environmental assessment (SEA) of urban planning in Australia. The SEA has been practiced in Australia over the last two decades under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act of 1999. After the reform of EPBC Act in 2006, the application of SEA in urban sector has been widened. By evaluating the procedural practice of SEA of Melbourne Urban Extensi…
Terrorism and the Varieties of Civil Liberties
How do government protections, and violations, of its citizens’ civil liberties influence the country's exposure to terrorism? Existing research remains divided. We contribute clarity to these debates by examining the distinct effects of specific types of civil liberties: physical integrity (e.g., freedom from extra-judicial torture and killing), political liberties (e.g., freedom of expression and assembly), and private liberties (e.g., freedom …
State of the world 2018
This article analyses the state of democracy in the world in 2018, and recent developments building on the 2019 release of the V-Dem dataset. First, the trend of autocratization continues and 24 countries are now affected by what is established as a "third wave of autocratization". Second, despite the global challenge of gradual autocratization, democratic regimes prevail in a majority of countries in the world (99 countries, 55%) in 2018. Thus, …

Environmental Impact Assessment
Environmental impact assessment (EIA) has developed from its origins in US legislation in 1970 to become one of the most important and widely used environmental management tools. Its purpose is to ensure that the wider implications of proposals are considered before final commitments are made to proceed with an action, whether a policy or a project. Many forms of impact assessment have emerged over the last 50 years, raising the question of how t…
Impacts of the delay in construction of a large scale hydropower project on potential displacees
Literature on impact assessment and involuntary displacement mostly explains the impacts that might occur or have occurred on the local communities during and after involuntary displacement induced by development projects. However, there is only very limited research that considers the impacts local communities experience during the pre-implementation phase of the project. Our research attempts to highlight the impacts caused by large-scale proje…

What makes health impact assessments successful? Factors contributing to effectiveness in Australia and New Zealand
We have confirmed previously identified factors influencing effectiveness of HIA and identified new factors such as proactive positioning. Our findings challenge some presumptions about 'right' timing for HIA and the rationality and linearity of decision-making processes. The influence of right timing on decision making needs to be seen within the context of other factors such as proactive positioning. This research can help HIA practitioners and…

Morgan R. Exploring how fishermen respond to the challenges facing the fishing industry: a case study of diversification in the English Channel fishery, Regional Studies. Commercial fishing remains important to employment and wealth creation in peripheral regions, yet fishermen currently face a range of administrative, socio-economic and environmental challenges that affect the viability of their profession. One response to these challenges is to…
The impact assessment ‘arms race’ and visions for the future
In this commentary on Morrison-Saunders et al.'s [Morrison-Saunders A, Pope J, Gunn JAE, Bond A, Retief F. 2014. Strengthening impact assessment: a call for integration and focus. Impact Assess Project Appraisal. 44] position paper we focus on two main issues: their (1) call for unification and (2) assessment of the implications for impact assessment (IA) of the better regulation agenda. The importance of names and naming, plus the existence of g…
The effectiveness of health impact assessment in influencing decision-making in Australia and New Zealand 2005–2009
This study clearly demonstrates direct and indirect effectiveness of HIA influencing decision making in Australia and New Zealand. We recommend that public health leaders and policy makers should be confident in promoting the use of HIA and investing in building capacity to undertake high quality HIAs. New findings about the value HIA stakeholders put on indirect impacts such as learning and relationship building suggest HIA has a role both as a …

Coping with Drought in Botswana
Since African states began to obtain their political independence almost three decades ago, drought has exacerbated critical problems of social equality. In domestic politics, élites have used their control over food aid to enhance their power vis-à-vis those suffering from declines in agricultural production. Two scholars recently concluded that 'food-relief programmes...have helped to widen the gap between rich and poor in virtually every count…

Copper accumulation in soils from two different‐aged apricot orchards in Central Otago, New Zealand
In recent years there has been a move in New Zealand to convert small, uneconomic orchards to other agricultural uses. Overseas research has demonstrated that copper from fungicide sprays often accumulates in the soils of orchards and can cause certain problems for plant growth and livestock. To date, no assessments appear to have been made of the degree of copper accumulation in such older orchards in New Zealand. This study presents the results…

The interminable issue of effectiveness
An analysis of studies of the outcomes of environmental impact assessment (EIA) indicates that its role in consent and design decisions is limited, due primarily to passive integration with the decision processes it is intended to inform. How much EIA helps sustainable development is largely unknown, but it is hypothesised that it is more than is typically assumed, through a plethora of causes, including emancipation of stakeholders and increment…
Improving quality
Reviews of environmental impact assessment (EIA) practice, particularly by industrial proponents, have highlighted common shortfalls. EIA would benefit from more ‘common sense’, which is not very common. For example, issue scoping usually includes too many inconsequential factors, and issues not directly affecting project decisions. Consideration of significance is often vague, misleading or inconsistent. Quality of environmental impact statement…
