VOID URBANISM: Unbuilt New Cities and State Formation in the Democratic Republic of Congo
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Based on an analysis of the planning process behind Kitoko City in the Democratic Republic of Congo—a new city project officially launched in 2019 but never implemented—this article examines the political, social, and spatial effects generated by urban initiatives that remain at the stage of intention. It investigates how such unbuilt projects

War as a Phenomenon of Inquiry in Management Studies
Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract We argue that war as a phenomenon deserves more focused attention in management. First, we highlight why war is an important and relevant area of inquiry for management scholars. We then integrate scattered conversations on war in management studies into a framework structured around three building blocks – (a) the nature of war from an ...

Differential Drivers of Thermogenic and Bulk Dissolved Organic Matter in the Indian Ocean
Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract The oceanic dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool contains a substantial fraction of recalcitrant carbon, with thermogenic organic compounds representing a chemically distinct, long‐lived component. However, the distribution and transformation of these compounds remain poorly constrained in the Indian Ocean, a key basin of the global overturning
