Abstract:
Abstract This article describes the testimonies of two arts and crafts collectives during the Salvadoran Civil War in the 1980s. These collectives, open to victims and refugees of the war, emerged as creative spaces during a time of significant social unrest. As participants learned to make and produce arts and crafts, these activities encouraged individual expression and allowed them to heal traumatic experiences. By describing the aspects that motivated and discouraged the involvement of participants over time, we show how the individual and collective aspects of making are important for the sustained participation of the people who engage in maker culture. We draw comparisons between the struggles of these historical movements and of current embodiments of the maker culture, in order to draw conclusions regarding how making can be a personal catalyst in the face of social hardship, the importance of economic sustainability in maker initiatives and how unjust gender dynamics take place in these spaces. The ability to compare and learn from these historical initiatives serves to unpack maker culture as a social asset that can be described beyond the mere use of digital tools and to repurpose it as a more inclusive concept that takes into account narratives from a broader range of expressions of making.

Abstract:
Les recherches sur l’action collective en ligne ont porté sur la possibilité d’une articulation entre objectifs partagés et initiatives individuelles. La nature peu astreignante voire peu consistante de celles-ci conduit parfois certain.es auteur.es à reléguer les questions de rationalité (au sens de M. Olson) et de « calcul » aux théories classiques de l’action collective. Cet article souhaite donc proposer une réflexion sur la manière dont, au sein d’actions collectives en ligne, un acte individuel peut tout à la fois s’avérer peu coûteux et malgré tout reposer sur une réflexion intentionnelle, non pas dans un état d’esprit strictement utilitariste mais orientée vers un but collectivement poursuivi. Deux modes opératoires, reposant sur des actions individuelles désireuses d’être utiles pour un projet commun, ont été extraits de notre analyse : le « porte-parole auto-désigné » et « l’astuce de l’effet cumulatif ».

In spaces of non-formal education in the Latin American urban peripheries,educommunication initiatives have been carried out by communication collectives,specially from the 2010s. This context gives rise to the question: how does this typeof educommunication contributes to recognizing peripheral territories? Thus,the general aim of this work is to analyze actions of communication collectivesthat aim to at the institutional, social, political, and cultural recognition of suchterritories. The investigation was carried out with a comparative case studybetween educational processes in communication collectives in the municipalitiesof São Paulo (Brazil) and Medellín (Colombia).

Abstract:
Social initiatives that seek to promote socially fairer and environmentally more sustainable food production and distribution schemes have multiplied in the last two decades. Several studies have analysed their impacts and showed high contextual variability, making visible some of their contradictions. This research is interested in Alternative Food Networks (AFNs) as spaces of political mobilisation that aim to modify the predominant food systems. The analysis focuses on the role played by social capital in the capacities and strategies of AFNs to influence the design of public policies. The research was carried out in Mexico City as part of a wither participatory action research project. It is based on participant observation and discussion groups with representatives of citizen collectives involved in agroecological food distribution. The results show that the forms of social and cultural capital are key factors in understanding the interest and capacities of AFNs to strengthen collective action. The study also identifies the importance of the initiatives’ managers as facilitators of interactions between AFNs and other entities, such as universities and civil society organisations, which can ease the influence of social initiatives in the design of public programmes.

Abstract:
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in artist-led collectives with high-profile recognition within contemporary art mega festivals, prizes, and biennials. Yet, these amorphous entities and initiatives tend to be framed either through their politically motivated actions or as a critique of the notion of the single author or ‘artist-as-genius’ mythology. This article builds upon this discourse to shift the emphasis onto both interpersonal and socio-political relationships that constitute artist-led collectives in order to explore their complex role in convening and placemaking and what this might mean for both policymaking and research.

Abstract:
The commons are alternative social and economic practices for fostering community development and regeneration. While finance is increasingly criticized as a trigger for individualism, community currencies are one of the financial initiatives that aim to reorganize finance in the collective interest. We analyze to what extent these alternative systems allow finance to constitute common goods or ‘commons’. To this end, we investigate the commoning practices through which resources are created, distributed, and consumed in a way that promotes new collectives. We analyze the extent to which community currencies can be considered as commons. Our findings suggest that community currencies have strong collective attributes such as community building, as well as the insertion of solidarity and cooperative values in money. Finally, we inquire into the limits and ambiguities of community currencies to represent an alternative to the capitalist economy.

Abstract:
The article takes as its point of departure the memory initiatives centring on the former Provincial Prison of Seville in Spain, better known as La Ranilla, and the Law on Historic and Democratic Memory of Andalusia, enacted by the regional government of Andalusia in March 2017. The study examines the local and inter-regional entanglement of memories of collectives, such as local neighbourhood associations, trade unions and Francoist political prisoners and their impact on regional and national memory policies. I argue that regional communities such as Andalusia and other autonomous regions have developed distinct regional collective identities and memories and are hence extending and/or opposing national memory politics by drawing on select localised, inter-regional and global paradigms, evident in the production of counter-narratives by regional governments. The study aims to provide new perspectives for understanding the combination and limitations of localised, regional, inter-regional and national memory politics in regional communities. The conclusion examines the limits to regional justice initiatives when opposing state laws such as the 1977 Amnesty Law.

Abstract:
AbstractIn addition to the development and research of battery-driven vehicles, a high research effort in the field of hydrogen technology can currently be observed. Various research and strategy initiatives relating to hydrogen are being initiated and pursued with considerable commitment worldwide. A significant expansion of the hydrogen filling station network is also being sought in Germany. In the course of designing a hydrogen refuelling station, the paradigms of thermal management must be taken into account in addition to a large number of different environmental and life phase-induced influencing factors. The interactions between influencing factors, requirements and the system architecture result in a multitude of possible refuelling station concepts, which can hardly be surveyed or managed from an organisational point of view. This publication introduces a method for the development of descriptive requirement collectives, which is applied to hydrogen refuelling stations in the framework of THEWA, but can also be adapted for other technical systems. The requirement collective is the first core element of the THEWA tool chain that enables a requirement-oriented and fast design of hydrogen refuelling stations.

Abstract:
In feminist political ecological discourses, women are seen as potential initiators and actors in collective action. Gendered differential practices in sustaining certain forms of collective action within the community have remained under-researched. Women play a key role as providers of food, water, fuel and fodder. They have also gained access to alternative means of livelihood and formed groups to conserve forest resources. Women’s roles hold the potential to ensure their claim to inclusion in the development process. This article formulates a set of interrelated questions to interrogate the role of community of practice (CoP) as an analytical framework to understand informal community action led by rural women. These questions concern the significance of collective action in relation to social structures, institutions and processes. Communities practise different kinds of sustainable and shared methods of collective action; for example, women’s collectives or self-help groups continuously work to create sustainable forms of collective action. We argue that the CoP framework provides an opportunity to explore the integral social basis of collective action, which cannot be understood without acknowledging women as important agents in shaping community initiatives.

Abstract:
Ce travail porte l’étude des innovations autour d’activités agricoles, notamment la valorisation de la culture du sésame considérée comme une culture de femmes dans l’Ouest du Niger. Pour appréhender les dynamiques en cours, l’étude procède d’une analyse des rapports de genre à travers les pratiques sociales et culturelles au sein du milieu concerné. L’analyse des processus d’émergence des initiatives collectives des femmes a permis de mettre en évidence des positions sociales mais aussi des capacités d’action ayant favorisé des reconnaissances institutionnelles. Les groupements constitués dans le cadre des activités maraîchères et de celles de la mise en valeur du sésame offrent un cadre d’apprentissage associatif favorable à la construction d’une identité collective. La mise en œuvre d’innovations techniques et les interactions qu’elles nécessitent permettent aux femmes l’acquisition de compétences contribuant à l’émergence d’une identité socioprofessionnelle
This study is based on innovations in agricultural activities, notably the valorization of sesame cultivation which is considered as women’s activity in Western Niger. To understand the current dynamisms, this study proceeds by analyzing gender relationship through social and cultural practices within the study region. The analyses of the emergence of women’s collective initiatives permitted us to bring to light their social positions and their capacity to act has greatly favored their institutional recognition. The groupings involved in horticultural activities and those valorizing sesame offer a favorable learning framework for the construction of collective identity. The implementation of technical innovations and the necessary interactions as a result let women acquire the competence that contributes to the emergence of their socioprofessional identity

Abstract:
Le departement de bignona, situe en basse casamance au sud du senegal, est le cadre d'une importante dynamique d'organisation, tant au niveau local que federatif. Plus de 410 groupements sont federes dans neuf organisations federatives, elles-memes reunies, depuis 1988, dans la coordination des organisations professionnelles rurales du departement (cord). A la base de ces organisations, les femmes occupent une place importante: elles sont les plus nombreuses et sont impliquees dans la plupart des activites des groupements. Ces organisations nouvelles et modernes sont etroitement imbriquees aux organisations anciennes (associations par classe d'age et par sexe, ou ekafay, petits groupes de travail par affinites). La presente these tente de demontrer, a partir de l'etude des modes d'organisation des activites des femmes, comment leurs initiatives individuelles et collectives s'articulent et servent a la mise en uvre de leurs strategies individuelles et collectives. Ces strategies diversifiees favorisent une redefinition du role des femmes au sein de la famille. De maniere plus generale, ces strategies combinees avec celles des hommes sont favorables a l'emergence de nouveaux rapports sociaux, et notamment a des relations de genre nouvelles dans les organisations de base et federatives: les femmes ont une plus grande maitrise des ressources et un acces meilleur aux postes de responsabilites. Ces changements a leur tour semblent devoir se repercuter ineluctablement au niveau familial. En outre, meme si les regles regissant la societe diola evoluent lentement, les changements amorces dans les rapports sociaux sont favorables a des transformations notables, se repercutant tant au niveau des organisations qu'au niveau de la famille

Abstract:
Le bassin du Guir marocain dans le Sud de l’Oriental, région frontalière périphérique, s’est trouvé de plus en plus marginalisé avec un contexte défavorable au maintien des populations, accélérant la dégradation des oasis Ce bassin a connu depuis le milieu des années 2000, une transformation considérable encouragée par différentes stratégies étatiques (Plan Maroc Vert…), due essentiellement à l’investissement agricole grâce à l’irrigation et à l’accaparement de terres collectives. Ces mutations déstabilisent profondément le milieu socio-naturel. Deux mondes se heurtent : une économie traditionnelle de subsistance quasi autarcique mais précaire, faite d’agriculture vivrière, tributaire de la précieuse ressource en eau, du pastoralisme et des mines artisanales, face au «progrès » sous forme de grandes exploitations agro-industrielles intensives, fruit de valeurs ultra libérales, qui entraînent des effets secondaires à double tranchant pour ce milieu fragile. Dans un espace, jusque là majoritairement destiné aux nomades, ces formes nouvelles d’exploitation impactent l’organisation des territoires, accélérant la crise du nomadisme. Ses effets délétères sur l’écosystème oasien et hamadien ont accéléré la raréfaction, voire la disparition d’espèces endémiques, emblématiques de la région, indicatrices d’un environnement autrefois en relatif équilibre. Cette recherche est consacrée à l’exploration de ces nouveaux paysages. Elle s’efforce de dévoiler les logiques à l’œuvre, et leur contribution au développement. De l’action publique, émerge une recomposition des étendues présahariennes et de la société locale. La relation Etat /société locale, se modifie : Les concepts de bonne gouvernance et de participation citoyenne sont intégrés par l’Etat pour accompagner ses réformes, dans la gestion communale (PCD) comme dans les projets portés par des associations et coopératives et financés par les fonds de développement (INDH, ANDZOA, FDA…). Au sein de la société locale, l’apparition de valeurs libérales fortes, fait émerger une « élite économique » d’investisseurs agricoles. Suppléées par de nouvelles organisations de la société civile représentant l’État moderne, les instances anciennes (jmâa) qui puisaient leur légitimité dans l’organisation des terres collectives, sont reléguées à l’arrière-plan. À cette alliance stratégique entre administration et associations s’ajoute la réforme des terres collectives annonçant la destitution définitive de la jmâa. Tout cela affecte l’organisation ancestrale de la société oasienne. Mais est-ce le rôle de l’Etat de faire émerger de nouveaux acteurs ? Une certaine communauté d’intérêt entre l’Etat et société civile comme locale, crée l’ambiguïté. L’intérêt se cristallise sur les ressources naturelles et les enjeux du développement, notamment agricole et urbain. En revanche, les logiques sociales redessinent une société clivée là où le foncier est en ébullition. Et si la tribu représente encore le pôle majeur d’identification, surtout chez les nomades, des conflits intra-communautaires apparaissent. La recomposition du bassin est marquée par la progression d’une nouvelle ruralité. Par contre, l’émergence d’un nouveau « patrimoine socio-environnemental » n’est ni synonyme de développement durable ni d’émergence d’une identité territoriale solide. Les interactions entre les composantes et les découpages administratifs successifs de ce bassin laissent apparaître des micro-localismes et une mosaïque de micro-populations aux identités fortes mais sans ciment véritable. Pris en tenaille entre le Tafilalet et Oujda qui ont une identité forte, le bassin du Guir reste en quête de celle-ci
The Moroccan Guir Basin in the south of the Oriental, an outlying border region, has been increasingly marginalized with an unfavorable context to on site maintenance of populations, accelerating the degradation of the oases. this basin has experienced since the 2000s, a considerable transformation, encouraged by various state strategies ("Green Morocco Plan"), mainly due to agricultural investment through irrigation and monopolization of collective lands. These mutations deeply destabilize the socio-natural environment. Two worlds are colliding: a traditional one, almost self-sufficient but precarious subsistence economy, made up of subsistence farming, dependent on the valuable water resource, pastoralism and artisanal mines, facing «progress" with large, intensive agro-industrial exploitations based on extreme liberal values, which lead to double-edged side effects for this fragile environment. In a space, until now mostly assigned to nomads, these new forms of exploitation impact the organization of territories, accelerating the crisis of nomadism. Its deleterious effects on the oasis and hamadian ecosystem have accelerated the rarefaction or even disappearance of endemic species, emblematic of the region, indication of an environment formerly in balance. The purpose of this study is the exploration of these new environement. Trying to reveal the logic at work, and their contribution to development. From public action emerges a recomposition of pre-Saharan areas and local framework. The relationship between State and local society is changing: The concepts of governance and citizen participation are integrated by the State to accompany its reforms, in the communal management (PCD) as in the projects carried by associations or cooperatives and financed by the Development Fund (INDH, ANDZOA, FDA ...). In the local society, from strong liberal values, emerges an "economic elite" of agricultural investors. The old instances (jmâa) that drew their legitimacy in the organization of collective lands are relegated to the background by new organizations of civil society representing the modern state. Added to this strategic alliance between administration and associations, the reform of the collective lands announces the definitive destitution of the jmâa. All this affects the ancestral organization of the oasis society. But is it the role of the State to bring in new actors? A community of interest between the State and civil and local society creates ambiguity. The interest is going to natural resources and issues of the development, especially agricultural and urban. In another hand, social logics redraw a split society where there is land speculation. And there where the tribe still represents the main pole of identification, especially among nomads, intra-community conflicts appear. The recomposition of the basin is marked by the progression of a new rurality. On the other side, the emergence of a new "socio-environmental patrimony" is neither synonymous with sustainable development nor of solid territorial identity. The interactions between the components and the successive administrative divisions of this basin reveal micro-localities and a mosaic of micro-populations with strong identities but without real connexions. Caught between the Tafilalet and Oujda who have a strong identity, the Guir Basin remains in search of it

Abstract:
La déforestation, le changement climatique et la pauvreté sont devenus des sujets critiques de ce siècle. [...] L'objectif de cette recherche est de mieux comprendre le rôle des initiatives multi-acteurs ou collectives visant à traiter les problèmes complexes -« wicked problems »- dans le contexte des chaînes logistiques globales. Pour atteindre un tel objectif, il est important, dans un premier temps, de mieux comprendre le fonctionnement de ces initiatives collectives, leurs mécanismes de gouvernance, comment elles sont organisées, et quelles dynamiques politiques et de pouvoir sont présentes au sein de ces initiatives multi-acteurs dans le contexte des chaines globales. Cette étude s'inscrit principalement dans le domaine du management durable de la chaîne logistique (Sustainable Supply Chain Management ou SSCM). Malgré le fait que la littérature de ce champ reconnaît l'importance de prendre en compte les enjeux de développement durable tout au long de la chaîne et d'y inclure les différents acteurs, la réalité est que la plupart des recherches menées à ce jour se sont concentrées sur les relations dyadiques, mettant ainsi en évidence la perspective des entreprises focales (Lee, 2008; Mena, et al., 2013; Beske-Janssen, Johnson, and Schaltegger, 2015; Busse, Meinlschmidt and Foerstl, 2017; Foerstl, Azadegan, Leppelt and Hartmann, 2015). De ce fait, les recherches ont soit négligé les acteurs « non traditionnels » de la chaîne logistique (tels que les Organizations non-gouvernementales, les initiatives multi-partie prenantes), soit les ont simplement considérés comme des acteurs qui servent les intérêts de l'entreprise focale (Montabon, et al., 2016). La littérature en responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE), et en particulier l’approche politique de la RSE (PCSR en anglais pour Political CSR) apporte une nouvelle perspective à la littérature SSCM en explorant la pertinence et la légitimité des initiatives collectives face aux enjeux de développement durable. La littérature PCSR propose une série de critères permettant un transfert de la régulation de la sphère publique vers les acteurs privés. Par exemple, la participation démocratique est considérée comme un mécanisme clé pour la légitimité du processus (tels que l'inclusivité, la transparence et l’égalité), et pour la légitimité des résultats (tels que la couverture, l’efficacité et l’application) (Mena and Palazzo, 2012). L’ensemble de cette thèse repose sur une démarche inductive qualitative afin d’explorer les initiatives collectives à partir du cas de la RSPO. Plus précisément, l'analyse multimodale critique du discours (M-CDA) nous permet d’'intégrer de multiples ressources pour l’analyse non seulement des textes écrits mais aussi des médias, de la vidéo, de la voix ou des gestes. En tenant compte de la diversité des acteurs aux connaissances, perspectives et attentes multiples, une approche discursive semble appropriée pour étudier les initiatives multi-acteurs. Dans ce travail, l’analyse critique du discours est ainsi utilisée pour explorer les interactions, les relations et les contradictions entre le texte, l'image et la voix afin de révéler les récits et contre-récits présentés simultanément par les multiples acteurs de la RSPO. Au total, les données de cette étude comprennent : 66 vidéos, 29 entretiens, 57 articles de journaux, et une série de données secondaires (rapports annuels, code de conduite et statuts de la RSPO, observations lors de la participation à la conférence annuelle de la RSPO). Les résultats de cette thèse s'articulent autour de quatre articles [...]
Deforestation, climate change and poverty have become some of the hottest topics of this century. Both scholars and practitioners recognize them as major societal grand challenges, with a growing number of academics referring to them as “wicked problems”. Due to their complex, uncertain and controversial nature, wicked problems cannot be effectively handled by individual actors. Their magnitude calls for a collective governance approach, including a wide range of heterogeneous actors with a diverse set of expertise and background, each of them bringing a different perspective to the problem. The purpose of this research is to better understand the role of collective arrangements tackling wicked problems in the context of global supply networks. This study is mainly framed within the field of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM). Although collective initiatives are the focus of a growing number of studies in the SSCM literature, scholars from the discipline still refer to these players as “nontraditional” supply chain actors. The political CSR (PCSR) theoretical stream complements the SSCM literature and provides a new perspective to shed the light on the effectiveness and legitimacy of collective arrangements in dealing with wicked problems in global supply networks. This research adopts an inductive qualitative approach and explores collective arrangements through the case of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). The findings are articulated around four papers, exploring the following issues: (1) the role of nontraditional actors in the governance of SSCM; (2) the mechanisms employed by a leading collective initiative to promote sustainability along the palm oil supply network; (3) the “dark sides” of these new forms of governance of wicked problems and; (4) the construction of a collective identity and a legitimate authority in tackling wicked problems. In contrast to the current normative approach of PCSR, mobilizing the discourse analysis methodology in the PCSR field to shed light on the political multivocal discursive construction of collective identities, contributes to the exposure of subtle and less-apparent power dynamics, underpinning the legitimacy construction of collective initiatives. By adopting a critical approach, the main contribution of this research to the SSCM literature is the shift from the traditional SCM assumptions of linearity (dominated by the focal-firm-centric perspective) to a more integrative logic at the supraorganizational level. In doing so, it is possible to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the role of collective arrangements in the context of supply networks and reveal their underlying political and power struggles in framing the different facets of wicked problems

Abstract:
The aim of the study is to investigate how Facebook is used to facilitate and inspire collective action. This will be done through a case study of the Swedish network of volunteers and professionals #vistårinteut [We Will Not Stand It] (VSIU). Further the aim is to examine what it is that makes people convert their concerns on social change into collective action by mobilisation in the network. Because they are part of the same network, the participants are assumed to have aspects as identity, motive, and purpose in common and the perception of collective identity and interest will be part of the study. The method for data collection is internet-based using two steps; 1) web-based survey and; 2) focus groups investigated through Facebook. Furthermore a Coding Scheme will be used to analyse the results through the theoretic framework of Collective Action theory, and the four solution categories to the Collective Action problem; market category, community category, hierarchy category and contract category. Eleven solution groups are selected due to the potential of social media to influence the capacity of each solution.The most noticeable solution category in the results from VSIU is Community with strong indications of both common knowledge and common values, contributing to a steady community building and collective action online and in the streets. Facebook contributes to the common identity and community building by providing availability to information and support within the group. Another significant characteristics of Facebook as platform for collective action is the breakdown of geographical, political and social barriers.However Community solely is discovered to be insufficient to solve the collective action problem and demands for solutions from at least one other category.

With the deployment of renewable energy technologies, the energy market is going towards a polycentric system characterized by the cohabitation of large- and small-scale installations. This configuration allows for the presence of new actors, fostering the deployment of renewable energy and representing a new tool to fight against climate change. This thesis investigates the role of one of these new players: energy communities. Energy communities represent a form of collective management based on the principle of “one people, one voice”, where citizens are the direct owners of energy, contrasting thus with the previous energetic model based on fossil-fuel energy and big companies and states. Furthermore, energy communities, intensely caring about social issues and inclusivity within their initiatives, imply political and social shifts. In this, they are related to energy democracy and justice, allowing all citizens to participate directly in the energy transition. This research inquiry analyses the reality of these initiatives, investigating whether possible gaps emerge between the citizen and the energy communities’ characteristics for potential inclusiveness at a time when part of the literature tends to raise attention towards the fact that energy communities could still be far from bringing more energy democracy and justice in this field. Another point to underline is that thanks to adopting a comparative perspective, this research also looks to identify how some traditional determinants of collective action initiatives as size but also socio-territorial context, can impact the capacity of these initiatives to bring more energy democracy and justice.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis aims to describe and analyze the historical images of European identity and the contemporary initiatives of the European Union to promote it. By analyzing the common cultural elements that European identity consists of, namely Ancient Greece, Roman Empire, Christianity, Renaissance, Reformations, Enlightenment, French Revolution, and Modernity in terms of the images of European identity, the limits of these common cultural elements and how much they have contributed to the creation of a European identity will be presented. And by examining the contemporary initiatives of European Union to promote European Identity such as creating a European flag, anthem, passport, constitution, this thesis aims to explore and present the prospects for a common European Identity. In this regard, it is the main argument of the thesis that European identity is a limited form of a collective identity, among the multiple identities that a person has.

Abstract:
Dans de nombreuses métropoles, il n'existe pas de transports collectifs centralisés, publics ou privés. Des solutions alternatives se sont développées grâce à des systèmes de transports artisanaux qui reposent sur l'éclatement de la propriété et l'autonomie des équipages de véhicules. Leur mode d'organisation permet aux transports artisanaux de s'adapter à la demande de manière dynamique. Nous proposons d'analyser les caractéristiques de ces systèmes grâce à la modélisation multi-agents et les théories de l'auto-organisation. A travers plusieurs modèles, nous verrons comment les structures et les dynamiques de ces systèmes dépendent des stratégies individuelles et de la structure urbaine. A travers la question de l'adaptabilité du transport en commun, les transports artisanaux nous amènent à nous interroger sur les dimensions urbaines de la mobilité collective mais également sur la flexibilisation des services de transport
Several metropolises have not any centralized collective transport system, neither private nor public. Alternative solutions appeared, their caracteristics are principally that the ownership is spread out and the vehicle crew is self-directed. The mode of organization of these transports allows them to adapt dynamically to the demand.We propose to analyse the caracteristics of these systems by means of multi-agents modeling and self-organization theory. Using several models, we show how structures and dynamics of these systems are linked to individual strategies and urban structure.Through the question of adaptability of collective transport, small-scale transports led to concern about urban dimensions of collective mobility and flexibilisation of transport services

Abstract:
Social Movements and Solidarity Structures in Crisis-Ridden Greece explores the rich grassroots experience of social movements in Greece between 2008 and 2016. The harsh conditions of austerity triggered the rise of vibrant mobilizations that went hand-in-hand with the emergence of numerous solidarity structures, providing unofficial welfare services to the suffering population. Based on qualitative field research conducted in more than 50 social movement organizations in Greece’s two major cities, the book offers an in-depth analysis of the contentious mechanisms that led to the development of such solidarity initiatives. By analyzing the organizational structure, resources and identity of markets without middlemen, social and collective kitchens, organizations distributing food parcels, social clinics and self-managed cooperatives, this study explains the enlargement of boundaries of collective action in times of crisis.

Abstract:
AbstractGlobally, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the delivery of essential health services in general and reproductive, maternal, newborn, child health, and nutrition (RMNCHN) services in particular. The degree of disruption, however, varies disproportionately. It is more in low- and middle-income countries than in high-income countries. Focusing on India, the authors draw on various demand and supply side factors that hampered the provision of RMNCHN services and thus adversely affected many families across the country. Coupled with the gendered aspects of the social determinants of health, the pandemic intensified social vulnerabilities by impacting pregnant and lactating women and children the most. Modelling studies suggest that the progress India made over a decade on various maternal and child health and nutrition indicators may go in vain unless focused efforts are made to address the slide. Complementing government efforts to mitigate the health risks of the pandemic by strengthening health services, women-led initiatives played an important role in portraying how women’s collectives and women in leadership can be like a bridge over troubled waters in the times of a pandemic.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter provides an account of the journey taken by the College of Sciences and Health in Technological University Dublin over an eleven-year period, from 2010 to 2021, as it sought to address the challenges of gender inequality in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) disciplines. The start and end points for the journey are marked by the formation of the College and its eventual replacement following a reorganisation of the Higher Education landscape in Ireland and a structural reorganisation at University level. This chapter draws upon the authors’ collective experience of leadership within the managerial structures of the College and the University, and leadership on specific initiatives, to illustrate how consideration of gender equality and inequality featured within the journey taken by the College over this period of time. The chapter applies a broad lens to analyse the gender profile of the College’s people and practices, including its planning, its operational management, its leadership, its staff profile and its student cohorts over the eleven-year period. The chapter also focusses more narrowly on a set of specific initiatives undertaken within the College or across the University which impacted upon the College. Collectively, the two perspectives demonstrate how a STEM College evolved over an extended period of time, shaped by cultural changes and challenges and bolstered by initiatives that targeted the areas of greatest challenge. This eleven-year snapshot provides insight into a journey that has built momentum and has potential to continue into the future. The story communicated in this chapter will be of value to Higher Education leaders and practitioners that wish to learn from this experience and interpret the approach set out in this chapter for their own local context.

Abstract:
AbstractTo achieve industry-wide circular economy (CE) outcomes, such as material reuse or recycling, competitors need to join forces and enter the paradoxical relationship of coopetition, whereby competitors collaborate. According to the literature, coopetition can benefit sustainability. However, little is known about coopetition for a CE and how competitors, as stakeholders, can engage in resolving collective environmental challenges. This study examines the phenomenon of coopetition for a CE through an extensive multiple-case study from various industries in Finland. The findings indicate that coopetition for a CE can be organised through four distinctive modes of circularity: agreements for industry standards, pre-competitive R&D and knowledge-sharing, platforms, and reverse logistics systems. New industry standards supporting CE are set by engaging competitors in voluntary agreements. It is important to bring stakeholders together for CE-focused pre-competitive R&D and knowledge-sharing projects and networks. In applied and commercial coopetitive arrangements, stakeholder engagement (e.g., third-party coordination) enables cross-industry collaboration for reverse logistics systems, whereas platforms are used to connect stakeholders and match their supply and demand, thus facilitating the development of CE business models. Our chapter contributes to academic and practical discussions on how coopetition for a CE can manifest and how competitors, as stakeholders, can engage in collaboration and contribute to CE goals.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on metaphors as a methodology to design and reflect on design-led initiatives in the public sector. We are drawing on the experience of a capacity-building program developed in 2020 by Enap (National School of Public Administration) in partnership with teams of the Brazilian federal government, in which we conducted four projects through the metaphor of a collective dive. When analyzing the effects of the projects through conversations with participants, we expanded the metaphor, understanding the reflections as breathing, the project conditions as bubbles and currents, and the results as splashes. We see splashes as variable yet rarely acknowledged outcomes of programs that aim to simultaneously foster public innovation and collective learning. In this paper, we present an example of metaphors acting as boundary objects, adding granularity and nuance to the investigation of public innovation initiatives, and identifying their possible effects in relation to institutional logics and complex structures.

Abstract:
Abstract Hydraulic fracturing, a widely adopted stimulation technique in the oil and gas industry, significantly contributes to CO2 emissions. This paper aims to identify the sources of emissions, explore options and methods for reducing the CO2 footprint, and enhance safety measures for personnel involved in hydraulic fracturing operations. The study examines various factors that collectively contribute to minimizing the environmental impact of hydraulic fracturing. It discusses techniques implemented in Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), as well as other available and potential approaches for reducing CO2 emissions, including customized equipment selection accompanied by emission calculations, spill and pollution prevention measures, adoption of electric fracturing fleets and solar energy, utilization of four-phase separators to eliminate post-fracturing flaring and hydrocarbon waste, among others. The paper highlights green initiatives already implemented in PDO and quantifies their positive outcomes. Furthermore, it outlines a roadmap for future improvements in the short and long term, assesses the economic and reputational impact resulting from the implementation of such initiatives, and addresses associated requirements and challenges. The paper presents a diagram evaluating the level of positive economic, environmental, and reputational impacts relative to the costs and efforts involved. Detailed guidelines are provided to assist well engineers in selecting appropriate solutions for different geographical and geological conditions in various fields. By discussing global trends towards environmentally friendly practices in the oil and gas industry and drawing on PDO's experience, this paper unveils strategies for tailoring available solutions to specific conditions and circumstances.

Full text
Abstract:
Implementing and ascertaining impact and outcomes of research is a prolonged process that may take several years due to complexities in bureaucratic, social, and economic systems. At the macro level, collective reflection on the different methods and approaches that research projects use to promote uptake and impact is rare but has potential to encourage learning and exchanges between different funders and projects around impact pathways as useful road maps for research. The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the nature of research – while it has increased the demand for evidence to inform decision-making, it has further disrupted both the policy-influencing and engagement activities that would usually accompany such research. This report is based on an analysis of 90 research projects supported by the Covid Collective, COVID CIRCLE, and Covid Response for Equity (CORE) initiatives. It provides an overview and insight into how different funders and initiatives were working to facilitate change in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. In line with the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) definitions of ‘impact’, and subsequent work by the ESRC-FCDO’s (Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office) Impact Initiative, four categories were used to map the emerging outcomes and different types of change. These outcome areas comprise capacity, networks, conceptual, and instrumental outcomes. Outcome examples were then classified into more detailed descriptive groups highlighted in Table 1.

This overview to the edited volume is structured to briefly explore the following key points that emerge in the case analysis of how women’s collective action has created changes for both women’s well-being and the implementation of the Village Law, as well as how such change has been supported by a wide range of CSOs across different contexts and sectors. First, we identify variation in the diversity of priorities and initiatives that villages have introduced as a result of women’s influence on the implementation of the Law. Such initiatives go beyond infrastructure and economic development projects (although women have also prioritised these kinds of initiatives) and traverse multiple sectoral issues in seeking to address challenges for villagers, particularly women, through village development. Second, we identify the different types of changes that are evident in the case studies that have implications for women’s everyday wellbeing, as well as their influence on structures of power, decision making and village development at the individual and institutional levels, and in broader contexts. Third, we discuss how changes have come about for rural village women and what factors have contributed to the changes that are illustrated through the case studies. This includes a discussion of how context dynamics constrain or enable women’s influence, variation in core challenges (or sectoral issues) for women, and how collective action has contributed to forging these changes as is illustrated by the case studies. Fourth, we explore the temporal dimensions of change. And finally, we explore some of the pathways by which such changes have occurred in the research areas, that being different contexts.

This includes a discussion of how context dynamics constrain or enable women’s influence, variation in core challenges (or sectoral issues) for women, and how collective action has contributed to forging these changes as is illustrated by the case studies. Fourth, we explore the temporal dimensions of change. And finally, we explore some of the pathways by which such changes have occurred in the research areas, that being different contexts.

Abstract:
As part of ARL’s Research Library Impact Framework initiative, a research team from the Texas Tech University (TTU) Libraries explored methods for assessing collections related to the study and research of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) topics and their discoverability by users. DEI studies have increased in prominence on academic campuses along with calls to question privilege and power structures, making DEI collections assessment critical. The TTU Libraries undertook a two-part project that surveyed user needs, collections usage, cataloging and discoverability, and user behavior in searching for and evaluating DEI resources. While the researchers were not able to identify an effective method for assessing DEI in large-scale collections, key findings indicate the potential for partnering with women’s and gender studies and Mexican American and Latino/a studies and the need for increased attention on cataloging and metadata, particularly table of contents and abstract/summary fields. The research team identified that many users expressed uncertainty in searching and evaluating DEI resources and expressed interest in search enhancements for better filtering and more prominent website presence for DEI research help.

Full text
Abstract:
This practice brief describes the assessment project undertaken by the Sheridan Libraries at Johns Hopkins University as part of the library’s participation in ARL’s Research Library Impact Framework initiative to address the question “(How) do the library’s special collections specifically support and promote teaching, learning, and research?” The research team investigated how the Freshman Fellows experience impacted the fellows’ studies and co-curricular activities at the university. Freshmen Fellows, established in 2016, is a signature opportunity to expose students to primary-source collections early in their college career by pairing four fellows with four curators on individual research projects. The program graduated its first cohort of fellows in spring 2020. The brief includes a semi-structured interview guide, program guidelines, and a primary research rubric.

Building a Community of Assessment: Final Report of the Research Library Impact Framework Pilot Initiative. Association of Research Libraries, March 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.29242/report.rlif2023.

Full text
Abstract:
The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Research Library Impact Framework (RLIF) pilot initiative, established in 2019, has released its final report, Building a Community of Assessment. The report details the research projects, findings, and lessons learned conducted under the pilot phase of this framework. It also includes information about the framework itself as a means to explore and learn about research library impacts. Finally, the report identifies next steps and potential considerations for any future implementation. The RLIF provides a structure to examine library services, operations, impact, and alignment with institutional mission and goals across four critical areas: Research and Scholarly Life Cycle; Teaching, Learning, and Student Success; Collections; and Physical Space. The full framework includes 185 potential research questions across these critical areas. However, the framework is also meant to be flexible and modular, allowing for modifications and adjustments based on salient issues facing research libraries. In this way, the framework serves as a tool to organize and prioritize research efforts.

Abstract:
As part of ARL’s Research Library Impact Framework initiative, the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) conducted a study to demonstrate how the availability and use of library collections impacts faculty productivity and publication patterns over time. To address these questions, the project used various statistics: collection size (measured by journal holdings), collection use (measured by number of references in the publications), number of publications by faculty, publication impact (measured by number of citations), number of co-authors, grant funding, page counts, and faculty demographic information.

Full text
Abstract:
Demonstrating the value of a biomedical library can be a daunting and somewhat ineffective task. The current literature base contains many articles attempting to achieve this goal by analyzing the collections through resource usage and citation analysis. However, with competing budgets across university campuses, it has become essential to investigate and develop methods in which libraries can correlate collections and services as it relates to their role as a partner across the scholarly, education, and service missions of our institutions. This practice brief discusses various methods and strategies in which the Annette and Irwin Eskind Family Biomedical Library and Learning Center sought to identify, compile, analyze, and disseminate relevant data to demonstrate its impact or added value to the research enterprise at Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. This work was done as part of the library’s participation in the ARL Research Library Impact Framework initiative.
