Co‐Production as State‐Building: Relational Capacity and the Prevention of Violent Extremism in the Global South

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article advances a theory of co‐production as a relational state‐building strategy for countering youth radicalisation in fragile states. Grounded in fieldwork in northern Togo, affected by jihadist incursions from the Sahel and home to a predominantly young population, we argue that co‐production extends state presence into ‘brown areas’

The monster in the backyard: A cultural analysis of wolf conflict in the American West

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Conflict between people and large carnivores remains among the most persistent problems in conservation, threatening carnivore populations and the communities that live alongside them. Decades of technical and financial research and intervention, from livestock protection tools to compensation programs, have not resolved these conflicts ...

Defining equity: Government and community notions of equity in marine conservation co‐management

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Perceived inequities lie at the core of many conservation conflicts, yet empirical comparisons of how different stakeholders conceptualise equity remain rare. Despite its prominence in global policy frameworks, equity is context‐dependent and understood differently by different actors, making it difficult to define and operationalise. Using an

Simulation of the Rotational Molding Process of Polyethylene Using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Numerical simulation of polyethylene rotational molding using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. ABSTRACT This work presents the development of a numerical model based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method to simulate the rotational molding process of powder thermoplastic polymers, used in the manufacture of liners for high‐

Governance and infrastructure as pillars of performance: A socio‐ecological analysis of Ethiopian botanical gardens

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
While botanical gardens are often perceived merely as recreational spaces for a weekend walk, in the Global South, they are true lifelines for nature and for the people who depend on it. Our research in Ethiopia explored what actually keeps these gardens running long‐term.

Beyond forests: Harnessing conservation gardening for open biomes in Brazil

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Urban gardening offers an innovative conservation strategy by integrating native ornamental species into urban landscapes. We evaluated the ornamental potential of the Brazilian flora by comparing the representation of species from forests versus open biomes (focusing on campo rupestre grasslands) and introduced and validated the Index of Ornamental ...
