When brokers fail, brokers proliferate! Generational change and the failure of development in remote Papua New Guinea

The Australian Journal of Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent efforts to secure development by Febi and Kubo people in Papua New Guinea's Western Province reveal a patterned history of failing brokers, incomplete projects and wasted money. Within this longer trajectory, three overlapping waves of brokerage can be discerned, each emerging in response to the limitations of its predecessors.

Converging Vocabulary, Diverging Attribution: Resilience Concepts and the Acting Subject in the National Disaster Risk Management Strategies of 25 EU Member States

Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, Volume 34, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT European disaster risk management has converged on a shared resilience vocabulary faster than on a shared account of who is expected to produce resilience. This article codes 2218 passages from 38 strategic documents in 25 EU member states along two dimensions: resilience type (engineering, ecological, transformative) and governance ...

Sustainable and Seismically Resilient Confined Masonry: Global Progress in Research and Design Practice

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...
