Fair and Equitable Land Access (FELA) by Development Projects: Enhancing Governance for Sustainable Development Outcomes When Projects Displace People

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Displacing people to make way for development projects is contentious. Empirical research demonstrates that neither human rights guidelines nor multilateral lenders' standards guarantee positive, sustainable outcomes for displaced people. With multiple new displacing projects proposed globally, including for renewable energy, we propose a new ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Activism risk and corporate self‐regulation: Investigating how anti‐SLAPP laws impact firms' institutional corporate social performance

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This research investigates how firms attempt to preempt activism before it mobilizes into an active threat. Employing a difference‐in‐differences design, we examine the quasi‐exogenous enactments of laws that prevent Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (anti‐SLAPP laws) in the United States.

In Situ Growth of 2D Perovskite Nanocrystals to Induce β–Phase of PVDF for Piezoelectric Nanogenerators with Ultra‐High Output Voltage

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
In situ grown 2D perovskite nanocrystals embedded in PVDF enable flexible piezoelectric nanogenerators with greatly enhanced β‐phase content and a high d33∗${\mathrm{d}}_{33}^{\mathrm{*}}$ of 35.16 pm/V. The devices deliver up to 66.54 V, exhibit light‐enhanced piezoelectricity, and maintain durability over 12000 cycles, offering a stable energy source
