"Bidirectional Causality between Spreading COVID-19 and Individual Mobilisation with Consumption Motives across Prefectural Borders in Japan".

A combination of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions as well as social restrictions has been recommended to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Therefore, social contact surveys play an essential role as the basis for more effective measures. This study attempts to explore the fundamental basis of the expansion of COVID-19. Temporal bidirectional causalities between the numbers of newly confirmed COVID-19 cases (NCCC) and individual mobilisations with consumption motives across prefecture borders in three metropolitan regions in Japan were analysed using vector autoregression models. Mobilisation with consumption in pubs from Kanto to Tokai contributed to the spread of COVID-19 in both regions. Meanwhile, causal mobilisation with consumption motives in Kansai also contributed to the expansion of COVID-19; however, the pattern was dependent on the industrial characteristics of each prefecture in Kansai. Furthermore, the number of pub visitors in Kanto immediately decreased when NCCC increased in Kanto. In contrast, the causal mobilisations for the expansion of COVID-19 in the Tokai and Kansai regions were unaffected by the increasing NCCC. These findings partially proved the validity of the conventional governmental measures to suppress pub visitors across prefectural borders. Nevertheless, the individual causal mobilisations with consumption motives that contributed to the increasing COVID-19 cases are not identical nationwide, and thus, regional characteristics should be considered when devising preventive strategies.

Taking one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Barcelona as a paradigmatic case, the aim of this paper is to explore the ways in which contestation organised by sublocal grassroots movements in the context of the current urban crisis operates, both in terms of content and form of protest. Our thesis is that resident mobilisation in the neighbourhood of Ciutat Meridiana is expressive of a new cycle of (urban) social mobilisations in Spanish cities. In such mobilisations, more or less spontaneous initiatives which emerged to counteract the effects of the crisis at the community level are simultaneously serving as platforms for reciprocity and political contestation. Establishing a dialogue with the literature on social innovation, in this paper we claim that these micro-local urban practices are linked to broader social movements and thus play a fundamental role in the political empowerment of citizens living in highly segregated and vulnerable urban areas.

Les actions en justice déployées afin de dénoncer le manque d’ambition en matière de politiques climatiques ne se limitent pas exclusivement à déclencher une procédure judiciaire. Des recours comme « Urgenda », « People’s climate case », « L’Affaire du Siècle », ou bien encore la plainte devant le Comité des Droits de l’Enfant de l’ONU, peuvent aisément être appréhendés comme des entreprises de mobilisation, fortement médiatisées, visant à rallier le plus grand nombre possible de soutiens. À partir des outils de l’étude des actions collectives, cet article interroge dans quelle mesure le recours au registre victimaire constitue un précieux auxiliaire pour des mobilisations multisectorielles qui se déploient simultanément dans des arènes à la fois distinctes et complémentaires. Ce faisant, il explicite comment des opérations impliquant une technicité du droit qui échappe aux profanes peuvent pourtant contribuer à rallier les citoyen·ne·s au combat de la lutte climatique.

AbstractThe construction of highways leads to several environmental and landscape impacts, including the fragmentation of natural habitats for many animal species. Highway projects are therefore generally accompanied by mobilisations from the inhabitants of the areas concerned and environmental associations. This work aims to model the potential impacts of a highway project in France on ecological networks and to study the reception of the results by the opponents of this project. We have adopted a three-step approach. First, a land-cover map of the study area was produced at a fine scale of 10 m resolution. Second, we developed a multi-species approach by defining fifteen species groups representative of different habitats of our study area. Third, the design of landscape graphs and the resulting calculation of connectivity metrics allowed mapping the impact of the highway on multi-species ecological connectivity. Reflexive feedback from comments on these results by the public during a mobilisation day against the highway project allows assessment of the relevance of such a modelling approach in this context.

Texto completoResumen
L’étude des mobilisations sociales et institutionnelles nées autour d’un projet d’aménagement urbain – la Zone de l’Union (métropole lilloise, Nord) – permet d’analyser l’évolution théorique de la justice sociale lorsqu’elle se trouve progressivement confrontée aux limites environnementales. Originellement, ces mobilisations sociales étaient éloignées des enjeux spécifiquement écologiques.Mais une lente évolution des revendications s’opère lorsqu’il s’agit de se positionner sur un projet d’ « écoquartier exemplaire » (2006-2022). Nous nous intéresserons au glissement des revendications sociales (fondées sur la justice distributive et la reconnaissance politique) vers des revendications écologiques (élaborées à partir de la confrontation de la justice sociale aux limites environnementales). L’analyse des dispositifs de transformation des discours, des procédures participatives, ainsi que de l’évolution des référentiels théoriques des mobilisations, participe à une réflexion sur les conditions de transformation de la démocratie pluraliste représentative. A travers l’étude de la justice écologique et de ses enjeux, nous proposons de repenser la manière dont les limites environnementales peuvent être intégrées aux pratiques participatives de la démocratie. En nous appuyant sur les travaux de la Green Political Theory, nous montrons également que la justice écologique repose sur une conceptionécocentrée de la justice qui pourrait contribuer à interroger la théorie de la démocratie à partir des interdépendances existentielles entre les sphères sociales et écologiquesThis work aims at analysing the theoretical evolution of social justice when it is progressively confronted to environmental limits. It is based on the study of the social and institutional movements that arose around an urban planning project – the Union Zone – in the metropolis of Lille, Northern France. These social movements were at first concentrating their claims on issues far from ecologicalconcerns. But a slow evolution of their claims took place when they were confronted to a project of “exemplary eco-district” (2006-2022). This work will focus on the shift from social claims (based on distributive justice and political acknowledgement) to ecological claims (where social justice is confronted to environmental limits). Drawing on an analysis of the transformation of discourses, of the participation procedures, and of the evolution of the theoretical frames used by the social movements, we offer an insight on the conditions of transformation of pluralist representative democracy. This analysis of the issues and purposes of ecological justice aims at reconsidering the way environmentallimits could be incorporated into the participative practices of democracies. Drawing on the field of green political theory, this work also aims at showing that ecological justice lays on an ecocentrist view of justice that could contribute to question the theory of democracy in the light of existentialinterdependences connecting the ecological and the social spheres

Texto completoResumen
A la croisée de l'histoire des sciences et des techniques, de l'histoire environnementale et de l'histoire des mouvements sociaux, cette thèse se propose d'explorer et de faire ressurgir dans divers champs de science (mathématiques, agronomie et sciences naturelles principalement) des voix contestataires à l'industrialisation d'une France encore largement rurale. Elle étudie les économies morales, les cultures épistémiques et les programmes alternatifs de recherche portés par ces scientifiques critiques, ainsi que les mouvements sociaux pour ou par lesquels ils parviennent à se constituer en ressources critiques.Cette recherche interroge le travail cognitif et normatif de scientifiques pour constituer la terre(en tant que milieu biologique, espace cultivé, planète habitable ; ancrage matériel des paysanneries et condition première de l'existence humaine) en objet à défendre durant la période dite des « Trente Glorieuses », qui voit se structurer un nouveau régime de production des savoirs et des artefacts techno scientifiques sous l'égide d'un État modernisateur. A travers l'étude de trois types de critiques (des tracteurs, de l'épuisement des sols, et de la menace globale de destruction de la planète), la thèse met au jour un certains nombre d’alertes, de savoirs, de controverses et de luttes socio-environnementale. Elle s'inscrit là dans une historiographie récente qui revisite le mythe d'une modernisation heureuse et consensuelle, inattentive aux nuisances qu'elle génèreAt the crossroads of the history of science and technology, environmental history and thehistory of social movements, this thesis aims to make voices voices against the industrialization ofstill largely rural France heard again, in various fields of science (mainly mathematics, agronomyand natural sciences). I analyse the moral economies, epistemic cultures and alternative researchprogrammes carried out by these critical scientists, as well as the social movements for or throughwhich they manage to constitute themselves as critical resources.This research documents the cognitive and normative work of scientists aimed at constitutingthe earth as an object to be defended during the so-called "Thirty Glorious Years" period (that is, asa biological environment, a cultivated space, a habitable planet; the material anchoring of ruralsocieties and the basic condition of human existence), in the face of a dominant regime of‘modernization’ and of production of technoscientific knowledge under the aegis of a modernizingState. Through the study of three types of issues (tractors, soil depletion, and the threat of globaldestruction of the planet), this thesis shed light on a set of socio-environmental warnings,knowledge, controversies and strugles. It therefore adds to a new historiographic perspective thatrevisits the myth of a happy and consensual modernization, paying little attention to the damages itgenerated

Texto completoResumen
Au cours des années 2000, deux mobilisations parallèles ont contribué à renouveler le paysage de l’écologie politique : la décroissance en France, et les Transition Towns au Royaume-Uni. Nous proposons une approche comparative internationale de ces deux mouvements, d’abord distincts, mais qui se sont progressivement imbriqués à mesure qu’ils s’internationalisaient. Nous nous intéresserons particulièrement à la dimension catastrophiste de ces deux mouvements, entendue comme un mode de pensée politique fondé sur l’anticipation de ruptures écologiques majeures (pic pétrolier, mais aussi réchauffement climatique ou effondrement écosystémique) qui mettraient fin à la version moderne du projet démocratique. Loin de n’être qu’une posture intellectuelle, le catastrophisme s’incarne dans ces mouvements en des pratiques délibératives expérimentales qui invitent à questionner la temporalité continuiste dans laquelle se conçoit généralement la théorie démocratique.L’étude de ces deux mobilisations vise à nourrir une réflexion d’ordre plus théorique sur les outils dont dispose la science politique pour penser l’insertion des communautés politiques dans leur environnement. En nous appuyant sur les travaux pionniers de la green political theory, nous montrerons qu’une théorie politique environnementale pourrait contribuer à interroger la théorie démocratique en invitant à la réinsérer dans un contexte de déstabilisation écologique globaleDuring the 2000’s decade, two social movements, the décroissance movement in France and Transition Towns in the United- Kingdom, have contributed, both in parallel, to a renewal of the green political landscape. This thesis is an international comparative analysis of these two movements, which were first distinct, then progressively overlapped as they evolved to become international. This research will focus in particular on the catastrophist dimension of these two movements, understood as a form of political thought based on the anticipation of major ecological shifts (peak oil, climatechange, ecosystems collapse, etc.) that would put an end to the modern version of the democratic project. Far from being an intellectual framework only, catastrophism also gives rise to experimental deliberative practices that put into question the hypothesis of continuity that generally pervades theories of democracy.The analysis of these two movements aims at proposing new material to provide for a theoretical reflection on the intellectual tools that political science uses to investigate the ecological embeddedness of political communities. Dwelling on the pioneer work of green political theory, we will suggest that a théorie politique environnementale could contribute to reconsider theories of democracy, with an invitation for them to fit within the framework of the global ecological disruption

Texto completoResumen
Cette thèse porte sur les contaminations comme cause d’un dommage et conséquence d’une faute. Elle prend pour terrain deux affaires de santé environnementale, liées pour l’une à la présence d’amiante sur le campus universitaire de Jussieu (Paris) et pour l’autre à la pollution générée par un incinérateur d’ordures ménagères implanté à côté d’Albertville (Savoie). Revenant sur les contestations successives auxquelles ces situations ont donné lieu depuis le milieu des années 1970, la thèse s’intéresse au rôle central joué depuis le milieu des années 1990 par des personnes directement concernées par les risques, qui problématisent les contaminations auxquelles elles sont exposées en termes de dommages évitables, engageant la responsabilité pénale d’une série d’acteurs. La thèse étudie corrélativement les conséquences de ces contestations sur la prise en compte des problèmes amiante et dioxines, à la fois par les administrations en charge de la régulation des toxiques environnementaux et par la justice, chargée de se prononcer sur une éventuelle faute. Elle s’appuie sur l’analyse d’un vaste corpus de documents publiés et d’archives (militantes, administratives et judiciaires), couplée à la conduite d’une quarantaine d’entretiens semi-directifs auprès des acteurs impliqués dans ces dossiers.A partir d’une approche par arène, la thèse explore les différents lieux de définition et de traitement des problèmes soulevés, en accordant une place centrale aux diverses formes d’expertise qui y sont déployées : savoirs mobilisés pour conduire et alimenter la contestation ; savoirs mobilisés pour fonder les décisions publiques ; savoirs mobilisés pour motiver les décisions judiciaires. L’arène des conflits sociaux, l’arène administrative et l’arène pénale sont des espaces régis par des logiques et des enjeux spécifiques que la thèse a pour objet de mettre au jour, sans toutefois en faire des espaces autonomes ou figés. En adoptant une perspective micro-historique, et en s’attachant à décrire les événements au plus près de leur déroulement, l’étude se révèle au contraire capable d’observer comment les arènes interagissent entre elles et comment les règles qui les caractérisent sont susceptibles d’évoluer via le truchement des problèmes posés. L’enquête montre que le degré d’autonomie et d’interconnexion des arènes constitue un point essentiel pour expliquer la trajectoire des affaires étudiées. Celle-ci dépend des interactions qui se nouent, ou à l’inverse ne parviennent pas à se nouer, entre les différentes arènes, mais ces processus opèrent discrètement. A un niveau plus structurel, la thèse montre comment l’arène administrative et l’expertise à finalité politique se transforment sous l’effet des mobilisations et du recours au droit, avec une professionnalisation accrue et le développement de standards d’évaluation des risques – tout en pointant les effets ambivalents que cela peut avoir en termes de reconnaissance des problèmes dénoncés. Elle renseigne enfin sur les mécanismes, propres au droit et aux catégories juridiques, qui rendent difficile la pénalisation de la santé publique, en particulier en raison des réticences du droit à intégrer un raisonnement de type probabiliste pour prouver juridiquement l’existence d’un dommageThis thesis focuses on contaminations as the origin of a damage and the consequence of a fault. It is grounded in two specific cases in environmental health, one connected to the presence of asbestos on the university campus of Jussieu (Paris), the other to the pollution generated by a waste incinerator near Albertville (Savoie). By examining the successive disputes generated by these situations since the mid-70s, the thesis concentrates on the central role played by people directly affected by the risks, from the 1990s onwards, in problematizing the contaminations to which they were exposed in terms of preventable damages, raising the criminal responsibility of a number of key players. The thesis examines how the questions of asbestos and dioxins sanitary impacts have been taken into consideration by the administrations regulating environmental toxics, and by the judicial system, which has to rule on possible misconduct. This work analyses a vast body of published documents and archives (from activists, administrations and the legal system), coupled to over fourty semi-structured interviews with the main stakeholders involved in the cases.Using an analysis based on arenas, the thesis explores the different social spaces where the problems were defined and addressed, placing emphasis on the different forms of expertise developed: the knowledge used to lead and feed the contestations; the knowledge used to guide public decisions; the knowledge used to substantiate judicial decisions. The arena of social conflicts, the arena of the administration and the arena of criminal justice are governed by specific principles and challenges, which are brought to light in this work, without, however, considering them as rigid and autonomous spaces. By adopting a micro-historical perspective, and by closely describing the events as they unfolded, this study reveals how the different arenas interacted with each other, and how the rules that govern them evolved as an effect of these affairs. This investigation shows that the degree of autonomy and interconnexion of these arenas is a crucial point, which can explain the trajectory of the cases studied. This trajectory depends on the interactions that take place - or do not take place - between the different arenas, but these processes operate discreetly. On a more structural level, the thesis shows how the administrative arena and the public policy expertise evolved under the influence of the mobilisations and the use of criminal law, resulting in an increased professionalization and the development of risk assessment standards – while highlighting the ambivalent effects that this may have on the recognition of the issues raised. Finally, this thesis reports on the mechanisms, specific to the law and judicial categories, which make the penalisation of public health difficult, particularly because of the reluctance of French criminal law to adopt a probabilistic type of reasoning to legally prove the existence of a damage

Texto completoResumen
La publication de l’encyclique Laudato Si’ a contribué à la médiatisation du processus de « conversion » de l’Église catholique à l’écologie. Par l’analyse de ce mouvement dans le contexte français, nous entendons isoler les effets structurels de l’intégration du référent écologiste sur une institution religieuse. Trois niveaux d’analyse sont ici adoptés : un niveau philosophique qui traite du discours papal sur l’écologie, un niveau individuel qui s’intéresse à l’identité des militants, et un niveau institutionnel qui évalue la portée du mouvement catholique en faveur de l’écologie. À chacun de ces échelons, l’Église catholique adopte une posture d’accommodement, en mettant l’accent sur la nécessité d’une spiritualisation des enjeux écologistes, qui valorise la relation au détriment de l’individualisme. Légitimé par le Vatican, le mouvement catholique écologiste s’organise ainsi autour d’initiatives locales sous le contrôle bienveillant et souple d’une minorité épiscopale. Cette autonomie acquise par les militants n’affaiblit cependant pas la hiérarchie, certains acteurs trouvant un avantage à perpétrer l’image d’une institution susceptible de répondre aux incertitudes engendrées par nos sociétés. La « conversion » de l’Église à l’écologie génère donc un double mouvement d’individualisation de l’engagement militant et d’implication institutionnelle dans les controverses écologistes. Ce mouvement contraire favorise, assurément, l’institutionnalisation de l’écologie. Mais cette « conversion » ne sera effective que si l’Église s’inscrit dans une quête de cohérence, où le maintien d’une ligne politique sera aussi décisif que la valorisation d’une spiritualité écologisteThe publication of Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’ contributed to the exposure of the Catholic Church’s “conversion” to ecology. By analysing this emerging movement in the French context, we want to single out the structural effects of the assimilation of environmental concern by a religious institution. Three levels of analysis will be followed: a philosophical, an individual and an institutional one. The first step will evaluate the papal line on ecology, the second will focus on the identity of Catholic ecologist activists, and the third one will assess the scope of the Church’s ecological movement. On each of these aspects, the Catholic Church reach a compromise with postmodern society, emphasizing the need for a spiritualization of ecological stakes, which values relationship at the expense of individualism. Legitimized by the Vatican, the Catholic ecological movement is organized around local initiatives under the soft control of the episcopate. However, this autonomy acquired by the activists doesn’t weaken the hierarchy of the Church, since militants find an advantage in preserving the image of an institution capable of responding to the uncertainties caused by our societies. The Church “conversion” to ecology thus generates an individualization of militant commitment along with institutional involvement in environmental controversies. These contrary motions certainly promote the institutionalization of environmental concern. Nevertheless, this “conversion” will only be effective if the Church is incorporated within the framework of a quest for greater consistency, where policy making will be as important as the value of spirituality

Texto completoResumen
Aux États-Unis, les villes connaissent une crise urbaine qui se manifeste par l’existence de quartiers centraux détériorés, concentrant les minorités pauvres. Les quartiers de Jefferson-Mack (Detroit) et Hunts Point (South Bronx, New York) en sont des archétypes. Ils sont pourtant animés par d’importantes mobilisations civiques, se focalisant sur des questions environnementales et alimentaires. Le but de ce travail est d’évaluer le potentiel d’initiatives environnementales et alimentaires à améliorer les conditions de vie des habitants des inner cities. La première partie, en mobilisant un corpus d’études urbaines, présente ces quartiers comme les produits d’une crise urbaine structurelle. Nous mettons en évidence que les habitants y subissent une « crise urbaine de l’habiter », dans laquelle les nuisances, les pollutions et le manque d’accessibilité aux ressources environnementales et alimentaires, sont déterminants pour comprendre l’essor des mobilisations. La deuxième partie explique le rôle des mobilisations civiques environnementales et alimentaires dans ces quartiers. En nous appuyant sur les corpus de la justice environnementale et alimentaire, nous démontrons que l’hybridation des questions environnementales, alimentaires, sociales et spatiales a reconfiguré l’action collective. La troisième partie analyse les enjeux de la réappropriation du territoire, à partir du corpus des commons studies. À travers le cas de l’agriculture urbaine et d’autres pratiques établies sur des espaces vacants, nous montrons que la réappropriationdu territoire procure de multiples bénéfices. Loin d’être cantonnée aux domaines environnementaux et alimentaires, elle permet d’améliorer partiellement – mais non sans heurts – les conditions de l’habiterAmerican cities are still affected by the urban crisis, patent through the existence of low-income inner city neighborhoods, concentrating the urban poor and ethnic minorities. The neighborhoods of Jefferson-Mack (Detroit) and Hunts Point (South Bronx, New York) are both considered icons of the urban crisis. Yet they witness substantial environmental and food justice activism. The purpose of this thesis is to understand how grassroots environmental and food practices can be used to improve living conditions for inner city communities. The first section analyzes how these two blighted neighborhoods are products of a structural urban crisis. By using a corpus of urban studies on urban decline, we demonstrate how the daily lives of residents reveal a “crisis of urban living” in which noxious uses and pollution as well as limited environmental and food access are key factors triggering grassroots activism. The second section is grounded in a corpus of studies on environmental and food justice, in order to explore the role of environmental and food justice activism in these neighborhoods. We defend that the hybridity between environmental, food, social and spatial issues reconfigured grassroots activism. The third section mobilizes a corpus of commons studies to analyze the challenges of reclaiming urban space. By studying the rise of urban agriculture and other environmental amenities occurring on vacant land, we explore the multiple benefits of community urban space reclamation. Beyond environmental and food benefits, and despitesome conflicting issues, reclaiming urban space allows transformative processes to noticeably yet incompletely improve living conditions

Texto completoResumen
Cette thèse étudie les conséquences ou les « échos » du mouvement social « Gezi Park » entre 2013 et 2018. Elle cherche à saisir les impacts sur le plan biographique, organisationnel et politique (culture politique) à travers l’étude de deux collectifs écologistes fondés au lendemain du mouvement : Défense des Forêts du Nord (Kuzey Ormanları Savunması) et Collectif de vélo Don Quichotte (Don Kişot Bisiklet Kolektifi). L’enquête est composée d’observations participantes et de 45 entretiens semi-directifs menés à Istanbul entre 2016 et 2018. Les collectifs de lutte étudiés agissent dans et pour l’espace urbain de la ville d’Istanbul à différentes échelles et se consacrent à des luttes spécifiques. Ils se situent strictement en dehors de la politique institutionnelle, ce qui signifie qu’ils refusent de participer et de coordonner toutes sortes d’actions avec des formations militantes ayant des liens avec les acteurs partisans. Cette étude interroge les dynamiques de politisation multiples, à la fois des individus et des actions des collectifs de lutte. Elle cherche à comprendre comment et par quel chemin les acteurs finissent par être engagés dans ces collectifs de lutte écologistes. Quel est le sens politique, d’après eux, de leur engagement politique dans l’après-mouvement Gezi ? Comment et par quelles modalités qualifient-ils leurs actions de politique, contestataire et écologiste ? Après une introduction qui situe le mouvement Gezi dans l’histoire des luttes écologistes et le relie à une contestation plus large sur la nature et l’idéologie développementaliste de l’Etat turc, la thèse s’organise en deux parties. Elle commence par suivre la trajectoire politique des enquêtés afin d’analyser les conséquences biographiques du mouvement Gezi et de montrer dans quelle mesure, et selon quelles modalités, ces conséquences engendrent ou non des bifurcations, des ruptures, des (re)négociations dans leurs différentes sphères de vie. Son objectif est de comprendre comment et par quels chemins les enquêtés sont amenés à s’investir, durablement, dans les collectifs écologistes post-Gezi au sein d’un contexte socio-politique intense marqué par plusieurs bouleversements et crises politiques entre 2015 et 2018. Elle s’efforce également de montrer comment les enquêtés se retrouvent impliqués dans des dynamiques d’engagement, de désengagement et de réengagement tout en prenant des chemins différents. À la lumière de ces trajectoires individuelles, la thèse donne ensuite à voir la trajectoire collective cette fois-ci à travers le travail mené par les militants dans la définition des enjeux, des revendications, des alliés/adversaires, des actions à adopter, du langage à employer. Ensuite, les registres d’actions contestataires sont analysés à travers les luttes contre les « mégaprojets » du troisième pont et du troisième aéroport tout comme leurs évolutions à l’aune du contexte social et politique. Entre 2013 et 2015, la thèse montre l’importance croissante des modes d’action liés à l’espace, à la dimension matérielle et locale des lieux défendus afin de mettre en évidence comment l’écologie et l’espace urbain se trouvent imbriqués l’un à l’autre dans les registres d’actions des collectifs qui proposent une nouvelle définition et une nouvelle compréhension de ce qui est considéré comme l’espace urbain de la ville d’Istanbul. Ce travail souhaite mettre en évidence la mise en place de différentes stratégies et interroge les registres d’actions qui font l’objet, à partir de 2015, d’adaptation et de discours de justification et de légitimation face au changement de contexte politique. Cette thèse peut contribuer à la littérature de la sociologie des mobilisations écologistes et urbaines et du processus de (dé)politisation des actions collectives ainsi qu’aux études sur les conséquences des mouvements sociauxThis thesis studies the consequences or "echoes" of the "Gezi Park" social movement between 2013 and 2018. It seeks to capture the biographical, organizational and political (political culture) impacts through the study of two environmentalist activist groups founded in the aftermath of the Gezi movement: Defense of Northern Forests (Kuzey Ormanları Savunması) and Don Quixote Cycling Collective (Don Kişot Bisiklet Kolektifi). This research is based on participant observations and 45 semi-structured interviews conducted in Istanbul between 2016 and 2018. The activist groups studied act in and for the urban space of the city of Istanbul at different scales and are dedicated to specific struggles. They situate themselves strictly outside institutional politics, which means they refuse to participate and coordinate any kind of actions with militant formations with links to partisan actors. This study examines the multiple dynamics of politicization, both of individuals and the actions of activist groups. It seeks to understand how and by what path actors end up being involved in these environmentalist activist groups. What is the political meaning of their involvement in the post-Gezi movements? How and in what ways do they describe their actions as political, dissident and environmental? After an introduction that situates the Gezi movement in the history of environmentalist struggles and links it to a broader contestation over the nature and developmentalist ideology of the Turkish state, the thesis is organized in two parts. It begins by following the political trajectory of the interviewees in order to analyze the biographical consequences of the Gezi movement and to show to what extent, and in what ways, these consequences do or do not engender bifurcations, ruptures and (re)negotiations in their various spheres of life. Its aim is to understand how and by what paths the respondents are led to invest themselves, sustainably, in post-Gezi environmentalist activist groups within an intense socio-political context marked by several political upheavals and crises between 2015 and 2018. It also endeavors to show how the respondents find themselves involved in dynamics of engagement, disengagement and reengagement while taking different paths.In the light of these individual trajectories, the thesis then looks at the collective trajectory, through the work carried out by activists in defining issues, demands, allies/adversaries, actions to be taken and language to be used. Next, the modes of protest actions are analyzed through the mobilizations against the "megaprojects" of the third bridge and the third airport, as well as their evolution in the light of the social and political context. Between 2013 and 2015, the thesis shows the growing importance of modes of action linked to “space”, to the material and local dimensions of the places defended, in order to highlight how ecology and urban space find themselves intertwined in the collective actions of activist groups proposing a new definition and understanding of what is considered urban space in the city of Istanbul. The aim of this work is to highlight the implementation of different militant strategies and to question the modes of political action that, from 2015 onwards, have been the subject of adaptation and discourses of justification and legitimization in the face of the changing political context. This thesis can contribute to the literature on the sociology of environmental and urban mobilizations and the process of politicization of collective actions, as well as to studies on the consequences of social movements

Texto completoResumen
Au sein de l'industrie vinicole actuelle, un changement de paradigme est en cours alors que de plus en plus de vignerons remettent en question les pratiques conventionnelles fordistes et les techniques viticoles intensives. Pourtant, cette rupture avec le modèle industriel reste confinée à une cohorte restreinte de producteurs, de vignerons pionniers qui transforment la production de vin en défendant la protection de l'environnement, le soin écologique, la viticulture à petite échelle et le renouveau de l'artisanat. Ces pratiques alternatives se manifestent par l'émergence du mouvement des vins nature, un segment de niche du marché du vin qui a attiré l’attention des professionnels du vin, des médias spécialisés et des critiques internationaux, suscitant des réactions vives de toutes parts. Cette recherche part de l'absence de définition technique du vin nature, l'examinant non pas comme un produit ni une marchandise, mais comme un mouvement social de résistance et une évolution du marché. Cette recherche doctorale repose sur trois hypothèses clés. Premièrement, j'affirme que le mouvement des vins nature agit comme une plateforme de résistance et d'innovations radicales, notamment pour les petits vignerons indépendants qui en faisant émerger un nouveau cadre cognitif créent un précédent au sein d'une industrie hautement normée, réglementée et symboliquement chargée. Deuxièmement, je soutiens que le mouvement des vins nature est apparu dans toutes les régions viticoles, tant dans ce qu'on appelle la « Vieille Europe » que le « Nouveau Monde ». Par conséquent, le mouvement des vins nature peut être considéré comme un réseau transnational avec une identité internationale qui traverse les régions viticoles et une diversité d'ancrages locaux. Troisièmement, je soutiens que le réseau des vins nature permet un projet politique de diffusion de nouveaux savoirs et savoir-faire dans le secteur vinicole, en proposant des voies alternatives de productions et en présentant des techniques innovantes tout le long de la chaine de valeur du vin. Dans cette perspective, le réseau des vins nature se pose en agent de changement progressif mais structurel au sein de l'industrie vinicole. Adoptant une perspective à la croisée entre la sociologie politique et l’économie politique, et utilisant des méthodes qualitatives, y compris des entretiens et des observations, ainsi que l'analyse des réseaux sociaux, cette étude explore l'émergence du mouvement des vins nature dans deux régions viticoles distinguées : la province du Cap-Occidental en Afrique du Sud et la région de Bordeaux en FranceWithin the current wine industry, a paradigm shift is underway as winemakers increasingly question conventional Fordist practices and intensive viticulture techniques. Yet, this departure from the industrial model remains confined to a select cohort of trailblazing winemakers who are reshaping wine production by championing environmental stewardship, ecological care, small-scale viticulture, and renewed craftsmanship. These alternative practices manifest through the emergence of the natural wine movement, a niche segment of the wine market that has attracted tremendous attention from wine professionals, specialised media and critics internationally, provoking some acute reactions from all ends of the wine spectrum. This research departs from the absence of a technical definition for natural wine, examining it not as a product, nor a commodity, but as a social movement. The doctoral study is grounded in three key hypotheses. First, I assert that the natural wine movement acts as a platform for resistance and radical innovations, particularly for small independent winemakers, setting a precedent within an industry that is highly normed, regulated, and symbolically charged. Second, I argue that the Natural Wine Movement has surfaced in all wine regions, both from the so-called Old and New World. Consequently, the natural wine movement can be considered a transnational network with a diversity of local anchors yet supporting an international identity that cuts across wine regions. Third, I contend that the natural wine network allows for a political project of knowledge production throughout the wine sector at large, offering alternative ways of producing and showcasing innovations. In this perspective, the natural wine network becomes an agent for incremental yet structural change within the wine industry. Adopting an approach at the crossroads between political sociology and political economy, and employing qualitative methods, including interviews and observations, and social network analysis, this study delves into the emergence of the natural wine movement in two distinguished wine regions: the Western Cape Province in South Africa and the Bordeaux region in France

Manmade climate change has expressed a plethora of complex effects on Earth's biogeochemical compartments. Climate change may also affect the mobilisation of natural metal sources, with potential ecological consequences beyond mountains' geographical limits; however, this question has remained largely unexplored. We investigated this by analysing a number of key climatic factors in relationship with trace metal accumulation in the sediment core of a Pyrenean lake. The sediment metal contents showed increasing accumulation trend over time, and their levels varied in step with recent climate change. The findings further revealed that a rise in the elevation of freezing level, a general increase in the frequency of drier periods, changes in the frequency of winter freezing days and a reducing snow cover since the early 1980s, together are responsible for the observed variability and augmented accumulation of trace metals. Our results provide clear evidence of increased mobilisation of natural metal sources - an overlooked effect of climate change on the environment. With further alterations in climate equilibrium predicted over the ensuing decades, it is likely that mountain catchments in metamorphic areas may become significant sources of trace metals, with potentially harmful consequences for the wider environment.

This thesis asks ‘what does Europeanisation mean for the strategies and practices of grassroots green groups in Europe?’ and aims to identify the conditions under which these groups become ‘europeanised’. I identify three process of europeanisation: direct europeanisation – when an actor connects directly to the EU, indirect europeanisation – when an actor connects to a europeanised member state and passive europeanisation – when actors europeanise outside of state mechanisms. The grassroots green movement has largely evaded studies of europeanisation and so it is through examining europeanisation at this ‘base’ level, closest to the citizens, that this research makes an original contribution to our understanding of the variables that mediate the process of europeanisation and to our understanding of grassroots green activism in Europe. This thesis takes its analytical framework from social movement theory and uses political opportunity structures and frames as domains in which it looks for evidence of europeanisation. Within these domains I distinguish between European and europeanised activity, teasing out the role of the nation state in mediating europeanisation at a grassroots level. Two cases are examined: anti-road protest and anti-GM protest in Britain, France and Italy between the period 2007-2010. This thesis demonstrates that there is some evidence of europeanisation within grassroots green groups. It encourages a more nuanced understanding of europeanisation as a process that can occur outside the state and amongst actors who do not seek to impact the EU. It finds that both strategic and ideological considerations shape the political opportunity structures to which movements direct themselves. It also finds that the fit between the frames used in protest and the national masterframes is a powerful variable in explaining the extent of social movement europeanisation.

Texto completoResumen
This book examines the social and political mobilisation of religious communities towards forced displacement in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia. It analyses religious strategies in relation to tolerance and transitory environments as a result of the breakup of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, the post-2011 Syrian crisis and the 2014 Russian takeover of Crimea. How do religious actors and state bodies engage with refugees and migrants? What are the mechanisms of religious support towards forcibly displaced communities? The book argues that when states do not act as providers of human security, religious communities, as representatives of civil society and often closer to the grass roots level, can be well placed to serve populations in need. The book brings together scholars from across the region and provides a comprehensive overview of the ways in which religious communities tackle humanitarian crises in contemporary Armenia, Bulgaria, Greece, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.

Texto completoResumen
The coronavirus pandemic has hit Latin America particularly hard. In no other region of the world have so many people been infected with the virus as here. Influenced by the pandemic, poverty and inequality have increased, the economic crisis has worsened and, in some countries, authoritarian and repressive tendencies have grown, all of which poses enormous challenges for the region. This anthology is dedicated to the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic and pandemic policies in Latin America and the Caribbean. The articles it contains examine the consequences of the pandemic in terms of social inequalities, gender relations, violence against women, democracy, human rights, labour, the mobilisation of protest and environmental policy. They discuss what social and political lessons can be drawn from the pandemic experience in Latin America at the end of 2021, when the region is far from a post-pandemic era.

Texto completoResumen
The concept of urban bioregion provides an interpretive and design perspective to the critical vision of planetary urbanisation, pursuing the recovery of co-evolutionary relations between human settlement and the environment through the reconstruction both of the ‘urbanity’ of places in plural and multi-centred forms and of the relations between urban and rural life-worlds. The experience of the Apulia Regional Landscape Plan is presented as an attempt of policy and planning innovation aimed at supporting re-inhabiting practices consistent with the principles and forms of the urban bioregion. The Plan promotes projects and actions characterised by a multi-scalar dimension, which assume as key factors for a just and regenerative local development the re-establishment of co-evolutionary relationships between human settlement and the geo-environmental system, the mobilisation of local knowledge, and the shaping of a sense of belonging to places and inhabitants’ care practices.

AbstractWith strategic litigation, lawyers and public interest NGOs have sought to bring socio-structural problems before courts around the world for many years. In doing so, they (a) initiate legally substantiated lawsuits that (b) pursue goals beyond a legal process’ “success” and (c) address considerable political issues. Litigation strategists often strive to realise the judicial enforcement of human rights, environmental rights, trade union rights, migrant and refugee rights, and so on, in these proceedings. In other words, they seek to make the law “better.” It is precisely here that legal mobilisation’s structural limitations—also present in the day-to-day business of law—come to light in the context of strategic litigation.

Texto completoResumen
The impingement of a fluid jet onto a surface has broad applications across many industries. Within the UK nuclear industry, during the final stages of fuel reprocessing, impinging fluid jets are utilised to mobilise settled sludge material within storage tanks in preparation for transfer and ultimate immobilisation through vitrification. Despite the extensive applications of impinging jets within the nuclear and other industries, the study of two-phase, particle -laden, impinging jets is limited, and generally restricted to computational modelling. Surprisingly, very little fundamental understanding of the turbulence structure within such fluid flows through experimental investigation is found within the literature. The physical modelling of impinging jet systems could successfully serve to aid computer model validation, determine operating requirements, evaluate plant throughput requirements, optimise process operations and support design. Within this work a method is considered, capable of exploring the effects of process and material variables on the flow phenomena of impinging jets. This is achieved on a number of experimental test rigs of varying scale employing both intrusive and non-intrusive measurement techniques Particle image velocimetry (PIV), ultrasonic Doppler velocity profiling (UDVP) and high speed imaging, through to visual observations and direct measurements, are all techniques that can be deployed. The influence of a number of parameters on the erosion characteristics of sediment beds following application of an axisymmetric impinging jet is presented in detail. Bed erosion is found to be enhanced as the jet height above the sediment bed is increased, due to greater turbulence development. Different erosion characteristics, as jet outlet velocity increased, were found for the particulates tested; sand, fine Mg(OH)2 (test simulant representative of waste sludge, has similar particle size to sand, 200–1000μm) and coarse Mg(OH)2 (1000–2000μm). The crater diameter increased with increasing velocity as expected. However, the effect of the increase in velocity on the crater depth was very different, particularly for the coarse material which was found to re-deposit in the crater when the velocity increased above 1.3 ms−1, most likely due to enhanced re-circulation at the higher velocities.

Texto completoResumen
Stability control of particulate dispersions is critical to a wide range of industrial processes. In the UK nuclear industry, significant volumes of waste materials arising from the corrosion products of Magnox fuel rods currently require treatment and storage. The majority of this waste is present as aqueous dispersions of oxide particulates. Treatment of these dispersions will require a variety of unit operations including mobilisation, transport and solid-liquid separation. Typically these processes must operate across a narrow optimal range of pH and the dispersions are, almost without exception, found in complex electrolyte conditions of high overall concentration. Knowledge of the behaviour of oxides in various electrolyte conditions and over a large pH range is essential for the efficient design and control of any waste processing approach. The transport properties of particle dispersions are characterised by the rheological properties. It is well known that particle dispersion rheology is strongly influenced by particle-particle interaction forces, and that particle-particle interactions are strongly influenced by adsorbed ions on the particle surfaces. Here we correlate measurements of the shear yield stress and the particle zeta potentials to provide insight as to the role of ions in moderating particle interactions. The zeta potential of model TiO2 suspensions were determined (Colloidal Dynamics ZetaProbe) over a range of pH for a series of alkali metal halides and quaternary ammonium halides at a range of solution concentrations (0.001M–1M). The results show some surprising co-ion effects at high electrolyte concentrations (>0.5M) and indicate that even ions generally considered to be indifferent induce a shift in iso-electric point (i.e.p.) which is inferred as being due to specific adsorption of ions. The shear yield stress values of concentrated titania dispersions were measured using a Bohlin C-VOR stress controlled rheometer. The shear yield stress of a material is defined as the minimum applied shear stress required to induce flow. The yield stress vs. pH curves obtained reflected the shifts in i.e.p. seen in the zeta potential results. Interestingly, specific ion adsorption results in an unexplained increase in the value of the yield stress over that expected for simple systems with no such interfacial ion adsorption. Possible reasons for this effect such as ion-ion correlation effects are discussed. The importance of this increased attraction for the mobilisation of settled solids in an aqueous environment and especially the likely effects on the treatment of Magnox fuel waste materials is discussed.

Policymakers, stakeholders and rural inhabitants must be aware of the relevance of soil erosion as an irreversible landdegradation process. This is key to achieve the land degradation neutrality challenge and the sustainability of humankindand natural ecosystems. Agricultural areas are being affected by soil erosion threatening soil quality and, subsequently,food security. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new techniques and methods visually friendly and easy to be accessedto survey and assess the soil erosion concerns. ISUM (Improve Stock Unearthing Method) is a well-contrasted procedureto estimate and map soil mobilisation and erosion rates. To achieve this goal, using the plant graft union as a biomarkerconducting in situ topographical measurements along perpendicular transects allow us to i) explain key factors related tothe activation of soil erosion processes such as tillage, the age of plantation, parent material or hillslope positions; ii)complete other well-contrasted methods such as RUSLE (Revised Soil Loss Equation), IC (Index of connectivity) orStructure from Motion; and, iii) identify hotspot areas affected by soil depletion, accumulation or mobilisation. In thisconference, we will show how we developed a new improvement of this method in different crops (vineyards, citrus,persimmons or almonds), under different environmental conditions (parent material, vine ages, soil management, or slopeangle) with diverse geomatic procedures (interpolation methods and geostatistical analysis, topographical measurementsand models) using GIS techniques.

Groundwater data from the natural analogue site Ruprechtov have been evaluated with special emphasis on the uranium behaviour in the so-called uranium-rich clay/lignite horizon. In this horizon in-situ Eh-values in the range of −160 to −280 mV seem to be determined by the SO42−/HS− couple. Under these conditions U(IV) is expected to be the preferential redox state in solution. However, on-site measurements in groundwater from the clay/lignite horizon show only a fraction of about 20% occurring in the reduced state U(IV). Thermodynamic calculations reveal that the high CO2 partial pressure in the clay/lignite horizon can stabilise hexavalent uranium, which explains the occurrence of U(VI). The calculations also indicate that the low uranium concentrations in the range between 0.2 and 2.1μg/l are controlled by amorphous UO2 and/or the U(IV) phosphate mineral ningyoite. This confirms the findings from previous work that the uranium (IV) mineral phases are long-term stable under the reducing conditions in the clay/lignite horizon without any signatures for uranium mobilisation. It supports the current knowledge of the geological development of the site and is also another important indication for the long-term stability of the sedimentary system itself, namely of the reducing geochemical conditions in the near-surface (30m to 60 m deep) clay/lignite horizon. Further work with respect to the impact of changes in redox conditions on the uranium speciation is on the way.

Texto completoResumen
ABSTRACT Onshore exploration – both oil and gas and geothermal – typically involves the mobilisation of full sized conventional rigs. The support package includes back up and auxiliary parts, capable of drilling and fully evaluating deep large diameter conventional holes. In early stage exploration programs conducted in remote and frontier locations, the operating costs can approximate those of an offshore operation. This standard approach may be an unnecessary expense and lessons can be learned from the mining industry, which has been operating in a lower cost environment in frontier locations for over 125 years. A slim well approach is adopted not just to the well design but to team size, civil works, evaluation requirements and logistics. A smaller rig capable of drilling slim wells to the desired terminal depth (of up to 4,000 m), with complete logging and core sampling, can provide exploration companies with a cost effective solution.

SHORT PAPER. This paper describes the game installation ‘Spectral Plain’; introducing a case study of an interactive artwork that intersects algorithmic, sensing, and gaming technologies to explore new forms of generative world-building, which are different from the world-imaginations created by commercial and political narratives. Through this case study, we aim to explore how information technologies might embed specific socio-cultural beliefs. Here, we investigate the imaginaries created and disseminated through dominant representations of information technologies, while simultaneously searching for ways to create new multiscalar imaginaries of the earth through the mobilisation of these technologies. This case study describes how physical and digital interactions can be combined with AI and randomising technologies to foster forms of co-creation with and between humans. It also explores the capacity for AI-integrated game environments to decenter anthropogenic perspectives by creating new symbiotic interrelations with the non-human and the non-living that can impact participants’ perception of their understanding of the world.

The Keeping the Nuclear Option Open (KNOO) research consortium is a four-year research council funded initiative addressing the challenges related to increasing the safety, reliability and sustainability of nuclear power in the UK. Through collaboration between key industrial and governmental stakeholders, and with international partners, KNOO was established to maintain and develop skills relevant to nuclear power generation. Funded by a research grant of £6.1M from the “Towards a Sustainable Energy Economy Programme” of the UK Research Councils, it represents the single largest university-based nuclear research programme in the UK for more than 30 years. The programme is led by Imperial College London, in collaboration with the universities of Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Bristol, Cardiff and the Open University. These universities are working with the UK nuclear industry, who contributed a further £0.4M in funding. The industry/government stakeholders include AWE, British Energy, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Environment Agency, the Health and Safety Executive, Doosan Babcock, the Ministry of Defence, Nirex, AMEC NNC, Rolls-Royce PLC and the UK Atomic Energy Authority. Work Package 3 of this consortium, led by the University of Leeds, concerns “An Integrated Approach to Waste Immobilisation and Management”, and involves Imperial College London, and the Universities of Manchester and Sheffield. The aims of this work package are: to study the re-mobilisation, transport, solid-liquid separation and immobilisation of particulate wastes; to develop predictive models for particle behaviour based on atomic scale, thermodynamic and process scale simulations; to develop a fundamental understanding of selective adsorption of nuclides onto filter systems and their immobilisation; and to consider mechanisms of nuclide leaving and transport. The paper describes highlights from this work in the key areas of multi-scale modeling (using atomic scale, thermodynamic and process scale models), the engineering properties of waste (linking microscopic and macroscopic behaviour, and transport and rheology), and waste reactivity (considering waste hosts and wasteforms, generation IV wastes, and waste interactions).

Texto completoResumen
Abstract Rubber based systems have been used in subsea thermal insulation for many years and have proven themselves to be reliable and cost efficient. Formulations have been changed over the years, pressing the maximum usage temperature upwards and into the realm of 160 to180°C in a hot-wet environment. Until recently there was a need for high temperature along with pressure vessels (autoclaves) for vulcanisation. This has limited the widespread use of such systems. Recent changes have eliminated the need for autoclaves, however the high temperature vulcanisation hasstill been required. A novel formulation has been developed to address these shortcomings, so that this class of materials could have wider use. This new material employs freely available materials in a unique blend. The material contains no hydrolysable groups and can operate from −40°C to 180°C continuously in air and in a hot-wet environment and retains its resilience and flexibility; and thus opening for use in both high and low temperature systems. The formulation does not include the use of hollow glass microspheres and is, correspondingly, without water depth limitations. A new, highly reliable vulcanisation chemistry allows for a stable latency time for application, with vulcanisation temperatures reduced to 50°C. This allows for rapid hand application and simultaneous vulcanisation on subsea trees, valves, manifolds, etc. The material is self-agglomerating, merging under gentle pressure, and can be applied at high thickness. As the base material has an intrinsically low thermal conductivity, glass-based fillers are not needed. The material adheres well to painted or primed surfaces and to many other materials typically used in the offshore thermal insulation industry. The 2-component material is conveniently combined on site, reducing the need for refrigeration during transport and easing mobilisation logistics and is applied using simple hand tools. Extruded profiles can be used directly on complex structures or combined into sheets for ease of application on more regular shapes in order to optimise application rates. Moulds are not required for application, reducing engineering and fabrication cost, while also shortening mobilisation time. The system has been extensively qualified according to ISO 12736 for continuous use at 180°C. This paper will detail important aspects of the development project along with the results of the qualification testing.

<p>Heritage, both natural and cultural deserves to be treated with care and is vulnerable to neglect and apathy. Over past decades, in its quest for a ‘new India’, urban and infrastructure growth has been a-sympathetic to its built & natural heritage due to lack of awareness, knowledge and trained human resource.</p><p>Indian heritage has a huge potential of contributing to the liveability index and UN’s sustainable development goals. Awareness building, public mobilisation towards cultural and ecological heritage and adequately trained and skilled human resource across the country for conservation is the requirement today.</p><p>Technical education institutions sensitising of youth towards acknowledging and nurturing heritage through creation of environment for conservation learning and imparting necessary knowledge and skills need further impetus. State, Private Organisations and Corporates can provide this impetus to promote excellence in conservation discourses of technical education and to encourage and facilitate a conservation approach to urban and infrastructure development.</p>

Texto completoResumen
Tax revenue in many low-income countries is inadequate for funding investments in public goods and human capital. While tax systems have been adopting new technologies to improve tax collection for many years, limitations to in-person interactions due to COVID-19 have further highlighted the role of information technology in tax mobilisation. This paper examines the potential of technology to transform tax administration by helping to identify the tax base, facilitate compliance, and monitor compliance. It also identifies possible limitations to the use of technology arising from inadequate infrastructure and connectivity, lack of adoption (or resistance) by taxpayers and tax collectors, lack of institutional mainstreaming, and an unsupportive regulatory environment.

Texto completoResumen
As digital technologies continue gaining momentum in Africa and lower-income countries, more and more tax authorities are adopting them to improve their core functions and collect revenue more efficiently. This paper reviews recent literature on using technology for tax administration. Technology has the potential to improve tax collection in three areas: identifying the tax base, monitoring compliance, and facilitating compliance. But even the most user-friendly technology will hardly function without basic infrastructure and a stable internet connection. The potential benefits of new technology are further hampered by resistance from taxpayers and collectors, an unsupportive regulatory environment and lack of strategy for adoption by institutions. We close by proposing reforms to ensure investments in new technology improve efficiency and revenue collection.

Occhiali, Giovanni. Implementation Obstacles and Political Appeal of Environmental Taxes in Sub-Saharan Africa: Reflections from Selected Countries. Institute of Development Studies, noviembre de 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/ictd.2023.058.
Texto completoResumen
Increasing the slow pace of adoption of environmental taxes across low-income countries has become a significant priority among international financial institutions, multilateral development banks, and international donors. Yet little is known about the practical institutional, administrative, and political obstacles that have led to their slow implementation and how they can be made more appealing, especially across sub-Saharan Africa. Based on an extensive literature review and 16 in-depth interviews with ministries of finance, revenue authorities, and other government stakeholders across six African countries, this paper provides some evidence that will support action and research on this theme. While there are differences across the countries covered, a lack of data and analytical capacity to develop effective environmental taxes is a common theme, as well as the historical prioritisation of their revenue mobilisation capacity over their environmental impact. A great variety of government actors with a mandate over natural resources, often with competing policy priorities, coupled with a lack of coordination fora, has also impeded the harmonisation of the environmental charges they levy. These measures are also often perceived to be regressive and to pose an obstacle to industrial development, lowering their appeal, given that poverty reduction and employment creation are an overarching priority. Nonetheless, support for introducing specific environmental tax measures exists across the population and policymakers, especially if their revenue can be earmarked for environmental purposes.

Texto completoResumen
African countries are progressing on SDG 13 (climate action) and strengthening their implementation, despite the insufficient delivery of climate finance. Recognising these countries' vulnerability to the impacts of climate change, accelerated efforts are necessary to build an enabling environment — political, legal, technical, financial, and programmatic — aligned with each country’s needs and priorities. This policy brief offers recommendations for national policymakers in Africa to strengthen climate strategies, based on analysis of the 21 VNRs presented by African countries in 2022 (see Notes). It provides insights to better synergise SDG 13 efforts (e.g., with NDCs), considering the state of data reporting and the critical role of finance, capacity-building, and partnerships for climate action. Recommendations: (i) enhance monitoring, reporting, and evaluation for SDG 13 and associated indicators across all levels and sectoral scales; (ii) take urgent action to increase financial flows and improve resource mobilisation; (iii) accelerate the local adoption of disaster risk reduction strategies and climate action plans; (iv) strengthen policy and legal frameworks and increase efforts to improve institutional capacity.

Texto completoResumen
This background report looks at tax implications for those providing and using digital financial services (DFS), and gives general observations as to whether DFS in Africa are taxed the same as traditional financial services (TFS). There is no categorical answer to this question. It varies country by country, depending on the specific arrangements in their legal and tax framework. Therefore, a country-specific approach is necessary. This report analyses key legislative, tax and regulatory policy instruments to compare the tax framework in nine African countries – Burundi, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe. The country studies illustrate the diverse experience across the nine African economies, and the tension between the need for greater mobilisation of domestic resources and the desire to see rapid roll-out of digital infrastructure and services. The cross-country assessment highlights areas where the tax situation is different for DFS providers and users, compared to traditional financial institutions and actors. We present a number of preliminary considerations and lessons learned. These can help to shape an optimal tax environment, reduce friction, enhance beneficial competition in the financial services market, and minimise any negative consequences for DFS providers and users that arise within the taxation framework in all countries studied.

In 2020, the University of Dundee initiated the development of an Open Research strategy. As part of this initiative, in February 2021 the University’s Library and Learning Centre together with Open Research Champions from the Schools of Health Sciences and Dentistry, formed an Open Research Working group. To build on the University’s open research policy and infrastructure, the purpose of the group was to facilitate ongoing research and development of best practice approaches for our interdisciplinary environment to make outputs, data and other products of our research publicly available, building on University of Dundee’s Open Research policy and infrastructure. Through informal consultations with academic staff and students, the Open Research Working Group found that: → access and reach of research findings can be amplified through effective knowledge mobilisation, and stakeholder and patient and public involvement; and → there was a need for guidance and resources on how-to implement knowledge mobilisation activities with and for stakeholders throughout the entire research process – from proposal development to project completion. In June 2021, the Open Research working group, in partnership with Simon Fraser University’s Knowledge Mobilization Hub began the development of an Integrated Knowledge Translation (IKT) Toolkit, with funding support from the University of Dundee’s Doctoral Academy and Organisational Professional Development. IKT is an approach to knowledge translation that emphasises working in an engaged and collaborative partnership with stakeholders throughout the research cycle in order to have positive impact. The aim was to co-produce evidence-informed, best practice learning materials on how-to: → maintain ongoing relationships between researchers, community stakeholders and decision-makers in research development and implementation; and → facilitate an integrated, participatory way of knowledge production whereby researchers, practitioners and other knowledge users can collaborate to co-generate new and accessible knowledge that can be utilised in contexts ranging from supporting community development to policy guidance for practice. The IKT Toolkit was informed by a focused evidence review and synthesis of published peer-reviewed and grey literature and consists of 8 knowledge briefs and a slide deck co-produced for use in any discipline or sector. Each knowledge brief provides practical guidance and resources to support an IKT process in each of eight key research stages: (i) Partnership Building; (ii) Generating Priorities and Ideas; (iii) Proposal development; (iv) Study Design; (v) Data Collection; (vi) Data Analysis; (vii) Reporting and (viii) Dissemination.
