Inequality, democracy, and the environment: A cross-national analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-national analysis of the interactions between inequality, democracy and the legal designation of protected areas in a global sample of 137 countries is presented, showing that the effects of inequality vary depending on the strength of democracy: in relatively democratic countries inequality is associated with less land in protected areas, whereas in relatively undemocratic countries the reverse is true.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rethinking power and institutions in the shadows of neoliberalism: (An introduction to a special issue of World Development)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize the literature on the nature of power to develop a new conceptual framework that highlights the multiple dimensions of power involved in institutional development and change, and argue that such a theoretically informed mapping of power in institutions will enable scholars, practitioners and citizen groups to go beyond the standard critiques in order to analyze the multifaceted effects of neoliberal institutional change.
Journal ArticleDOI
