Capitals and Capabilities: A Framework for Analyzing Peasant Viability, Rural Livelihoods and Poverty
TL;DR: In this article, the authors develop an analytical framework for analyzing rural livelihoods in terms of their sustainability and their implications for rural poverty, arguing that the analysis of rural livelihood needs to understand people's access to five types of capital asset and the ways in which they combine and transform those assets in the building of livelihoods that as far as possible meet their material and their experiential needs.

Sustainable development: a critical review

Resilience thinking meets social theory: Situating social change in socio-ecological systems (SES) research
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the extension of resilience notions to society has important limits, particularly its conceptualization of social change, and suggest that critically examining the role of knowledge at the intersections between social and environmental dynamics helps to address normative questions and to capture how power and competing value systems are not external to, but rather integral to the development and functioning of SES.

Rural afforestation programmes for sustainable rural development: how realist conceptualisation can help

"Critical Ecosystems" as a concept in political ecology – developing a comprehensive analytical framework
TL;DR: In this article, the concept of "critical ecosystems" is introduced, which reinforces understanding of the science of "ecology", as an important dimension of political ecology, and it is important that political ecologists utilize the framework of ecosystem services in their inquiries, to prioritize those ecosystems that are intricately connected to the survival of the local population.
