Introduction
Climate change poses a growing threat to poverty reduction in East and Southern Africa. Yet the level of welfare or wellbeing at which climate shocks can be resisted, or no longer have an impact on wellbeing status, is often underestimated. This article introduces a special issue of the IDS Bulletin, synthesising multi-country qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods evidence from these two regions. It shows that climate resilience is closely…
Reflecting the voices of prison officers with respect to their support, supervision, and wellbeing training needs
Prisons represent a significant public health concern. The challenging living and working conditions within prisons are widely acknowledged to contribute to elevated rates of ill health among both prisoners and prison officers. Officers hold a vital role in supporting individuals in custody. However, the intense pressures associated with the role, compounded by toxic workplace cultures, are frequently reported to negatively impact their wellbeing…
Low-Level’ Social Care Needs of Adults in Prison (Loscip)
In England, local authorities are responsible for providing social care in prison in accordance with the Care Act (implemented in 2015), but little is known about ‘low-level’ needs that do not meet eligibility criteria. These ‘low-level’ social care needs can greatly affect individuals living in prison with limited autonomy. This scoping review aimed to describe the nature, extent, and conceptualisation of ‘low-level’ social care in UK prisons, i…
A Reacquaintance with Grief
The contemporary Church exists in a moment characterized by multitudinous deaths. What is a faithful response of the body of Christ in the Anthropocene as it watches unfold a sixth great mass extinction of non-human species, caused largely by human activities? What posture would serve the Church best as an emerging polycrisis threatens the established stability of human ways of living? How might the Church within post-Christian western societies …
Nomads, farmers, and merchants
In the Sudan the Savanna–Sahel drought of 1968-74 was less severe and its impact less destructive and tragic than elsewhere in the Sahel. Nevertheless, it will be argued here that it was an experience that turned the screw a few threads further into peasant and pastoral society, and accelerated the serious and widespread, though gradual, erosion of natural resources in the Sudan. The argument in this chapter will also be that the drought was an e…
Equivalence, Justice, Injustice – Health and Social Care Decision Making in Relation to Prison Populations
Prisons represent sites of singular healthcare need–characterized by high levels of distress and disorder. In many jurisdictions, practitioners are ethically charged with delivering healthcare that is “ equivalent ” to that available in the wider community. This claim has been much debated–yet the emergence of a global coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the arguments in a particularly stark manner. In the following conceptual analysis, we explo…
Apocalyptic Visions and Anthems of Hope
Within the emerging field of evolutionary psychology a consensus is developing that the triggering of emotions is integral to the human response to threats. This understanding of human psychology underlies a vigorous debate within the contemporary activity of climate change communication regarding the efficacy of the emotions of fear vis-à-vis hope for mobilising human behavioural change. Noting the contours of this debate and the paucity of radi…
Psychosocial meaning making in carceral spaces
Prisons represent sites of psychological distress and suffering. In this article, the implications of this, and the need for the maintenance of a psychosocial perspective, are explored. A psychogeographic overview of the prison environment is provided to consider the way it is constituted at different levels: the macro-social, meso-social and micro-social levels. Two vignettes are presented, which illustrate the process of loss and emergent self-…

Developing Agricultural Trade
Food security is of vital importance to all nations, but particularly so in developing countries. Governments worldwide are seeking to liberalize agricultural trade, and to change their role from one of controlling trade and prices. Instead these governments seek new roles in encouraging market developments, ensuring quality and providing food security by giving income assistance rather than controlling food supplies. The issue of how this proces…
Can Public Marketing Agencies be Reformed?
Can public marketing agencies be reformed and play a productive role in developing agricultural markets, either by becoming competitive private firms or by providing public services beneficial to trade? Or is dissolution the only option when policy is to encourage market development? This chapter focuses on reform of public marketing agencies in liberalisation of agricultural marketing, principally in Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, Ghana, India and Kenya, …

Conceptualizing Chronic Poverty
Governance, Good Government and Poverty Reduction
Introduction This discussion relies substantially on a commissioned evaluation of the UK aid programme’s support to poverty reduction during the period 1990–7 and, to a lesser extent, on a commissioned research programme on the changing role of government in adjusting economies, a new research programme on urban governance, partnerships and poverty, and work for the World Health Organization to put poverty reduction at the centre of health polici…
Training Conditions and Strategic Aspects of Skill Transfer in a Simulated Process Control Task
In carrying out tasks, operators are at liberty to adopt a variety of strategies both at an operational level and at a more private psychological level, according to the affordances provided in the operational situation. Skill transfer between tasks is likely to be affected not only by common task elements but also by domain-specific strategic knowledge. The implication for training design thus would be to examine training methods that encourage …
Zimbabwe
One of the most distinctive countries in Southern Africa, Zimbabwe presents a fascinating study in contradictions. This book addresses these contraditions, focusing on disjointed trends as continuities and discontinuities with historical patterns of political economy. The author traces the historical antecedents - the precolonial patterns of political economy, the political economy of white settler colonialism, and the class-political conflicts -…
