The Role of European Union (EU) Metagovernance in Supporting the Voluntary and Community Sector in Northern Ireland

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, Volume 12, Issue 1, Winter 2026.
ABSTRACT This article argues that European Union (EU) peacebuilding scholarship can benefit from organizational research on the socio‐spatial dynamics of policy implementation. It introduces a strategic‐relational heuristic to address two key gaps: the marginalization of grassroots agency in spatial analyses and the separation of strategy from ...

Embracing the politics of transformation: Policy action as “battle‐settlement events”

open access: yesReview of Policy Research, Volume 43, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Societal transformations for addressing climate change are intensely contested and at risk of resistance and backlash to ambitious policy action. But they are frequently modeled through heuristics such as S‐curves which abstract from such conflicts, assuming increasing returns to scale as a driver of transformations.

The Role of Uncertainty in the Policy Process: An Extension to the Multiple Streams Framework

open access: yesReview of Policy Research, Volume 43, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT A core assumption of the Multiple Streams Framework proposes that agenda and policy change is more probable when a policy proposal worked out as a viable alternative in the policy stream is coupled with the political and/or problem stream in an open policy window.

prioriactions: Multi‐action management planning in R

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1028-1039, June 2025.
Abstract Designing effective conservation strategies requires deciding not only where to locate conservation actions (i.e. which territorial units should be priortized), but also which type actions should be deployed. For most of conservation planning contexts, deciding where and what to do usually yields a complex and computationally challenging ...

calibrar: An R package for fitting complex ecological models

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, Page 507-519, March 2025.
Abstract The fitting or parameter estimation of complex ecological models is a challenging optimisation task, with a notable lack of tools for fitting complex, long runtime or stochastic models. calibrar is an R package that is dedicated to the fitting of complex models to data.

Reframing wildlife disease management problems with decision analysis

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, August 2024.
Abstract Contemporary wildlife disease management is complex because managers need to respond to a wide range of stakeholders, multiple uncertainties, and difficult trade‐offs that characterize the interconnected challenges of today. Despite general acknowledgment of these complexities, managing wildlife disease tends to be framed as a scientific ...
