Standards as Authority: Self‐Legitimation in the European Union's Global Forest Governance

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how the EU's introduction of binding sustainability standards through the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) constitutes an authoritative claim and how this claim is legitimized. Using qualitative content analysis, the paper examines three interconnected self‐legitimation strategies: (1) framing standards as optimal ...

Chain Reactions: How Businesses Plan to Respond to the EU Deforestation Regulation in Brazil, the Congo Basin, and Europe

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2023 European Union Regulation on Deforestation‐free Products (EUDR) is a transnational regulation aimed at addressing forest loss along the value chains of forest‐risk commodities. Grounding our analysis in new institutional theory with distinct behavioral drivers explaining actor behavior, and using qualitative methods, we draw on the ...

Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 984-1004, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

Deterrence, Development, and Denial: Securitising Climate‐Induced Mobility in the European Union

Contemporary European Politics, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate‐induced mobility poses a mounting governance challenge for the European Union (EU), where climate action, migration control, and security policy intersect in uneven and contested ways. While EU discourse frequently frames climate change as a “threat multiplier,” migration governance remains anchored in deterrence logics, producing a ...

Sensitivity of 3D Base‐Isolated Buildings to Individual Isolator Variability

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2653-2668, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Variability in elastomeric isolators arises from differences in rubber formulation and curing, leading to noticeable changes in stiffness and damping among nominally identical bearings. While most previous studies have examined global isolator variability associated with environmental or aging effects, individual isolator variability has ...

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4037-4060, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.
