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.

The Global Political Ecology of the Clean Development Mechanism
Peter Newell,Adam G. Bumpus +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the ways in which the global governance of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) intersects with the local politics of resource regimes that are enrolled in carbon markets through the production and trade in certified emissions reductions (CERs).
Journal ArticleDOI
From risk to waste: global food waste regimes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors utilize the concept of waste regimes to understand the global connections involved in generating food waste, and find that the unequal organization of uncertainty is a key structural determinant of food waste production in both the North and South continents.

Livelihood Transitions and the Changing Nature of Farmer–Herder Conflict in Sahelian West Africa
TL;DR: Using the cases of four rural communities in Niger, an ‘access to resources’ framework is adopted to analyse the causal connections among rural peoples' livelihood strategies, everyday social relations of production, perceptions of social groups' identities, and the potential for farmer–herder conflict.

Vulnerability and its discontents: the past, present, and future of climate change vulnerability research
James D. Ford,James D. Ford,Tristan Pearce,Tristan Pearce,Graham McDowell,Lea Berrang-Ford,Lea Berrang-Ford,Jesse S. Sayles,Ella Belfer +8 more
TL;DR: Concerns over the use of vulnerability approaches in the climate change field are identified based on a review of peer-reviewed articles published since 1990, finding some of these concerns weakly justified, but others pose valid challenges to vulnerability research.
