From Social Justice to Indigenous Peoples' Rights: Continuities and (Re)framings in Ejido Property Claims in Yucatán, Mexico

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how long‐standing local conflicts concerning the nature of common property, the distribution of access and administrative rights associated with it, and more broadly the nature of the community and the forms of citizenship that organise its governance shape demands for justice regarding land transfers to outside investors

A Spatial Clustering Approach of Economic Activities: An Application to the Agribusiness Sector in Brazil's Midwest Region

Geographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of economic activities is central to regional economics. However, empirical tools for comparing industries based on the similarity of their spatial distributions remain limited. Traditional cluster analysis typically ignores geographical distance and connectivity, while spatial methods focus on clustering places rather
