TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used social network analysis to investigate the structure, dynamics and determinants of international scientific collaboration networks for the period 2000-2015, showing that globalization of science is becoming increasingly prominent, and the number of nodes and ties in the network has substantially increased over time.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate how greenspace distribution varies with socioeconomic deprivation in Sheffield, UK, and find that the accessibility of greenspace favours people living in more deprived areas, although the total area provided is not proportionally greater and greenspaces have a greater potential for crowding.
TL;DR: The authors consider how racial capitalism can be productively mobilized to extend contemporary work on settler colonial urbanism and argue that scholars interested in the latter have much to gain from the recent flourishing of geographical work on the former.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose an adapted Global Financial Network (GFN) framework for conceptualizing the organizational and geographic logic of the digital platform economy in finance, and apply it to examine the impact of digital platform model on asset management.

TL;DR: A review of 134 global and Africa-specific policy and related sources demonstrates how diverse framings of scarcity are evident in competing narratives that animate debates about the future of food and farming in Africa and globally as discussed by the authors.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the relationship between water security and water governance in the context of the Sao Paulo water crisis and demonstrate how processes and structures that are broadly characteristic of good governance both exacerbated the effects of the drought and constrained responses to it.
TL;DR: In this paper, the spatialities of gender and energy poverty are explored for a case study of England and five dimensions of gendered, socio-spatial energy vulnerability are evidenced in this context: exclusion from the economy; time-consuming and unpaid reproductive, caring or domestic roles; exposure to physiological and mental health impacts; a lack of social protection during a life course; coping and helping others to cope.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a grounded critique of the term resilience based on empirical evidence collected through a quasi-ethnography of a climate change adaptation project implemented by the United Nations Development Program and the national government in Sao Tome and Principe.
TL;DR: The authors argue that European refugee camps are post-colonational entities and that race, othering, and empire continue to underpin the logics of contemporary border politics, highlighting the role that racism plays in constructing the Calais migrant encampment.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight how demand reduction campaigns can build on and reproduce problematic stereotypes that create and perpetuate a figure they characterize as the "Asian Super Consumer" and argue for more culturally-sensitive understandings of illegal wildlife product consumers and their motivations.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the experiences of commensality that are produced by ICT-mediated urban food sharing and how these initiatives go beyond the food offered by engaging with the material and affective elements of cooking and eating together and how they attempt to nurture collective spaces of encounter.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine how asylum seekers and refugees experience urban greenspaces and propose curated sociability approaches as possible frameworks for supporting egalitarian participation and offering pathways to greater engagement.
TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of divergent conduct is proposed to explore how heterogeneous entities co-produce activity which is likely to differ from accounts of trouble-free introductions of technologies and practices.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of the state in the development of the French property market and the role played by Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in this process.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize indications from the literature on e-waste hubs in Africa and Asia of recurring factors shaping their emergence, and further elaborating these on the basis of their own extensive field research in two very different informal ewaste hotspots in Palestine and Ghana.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the trans-local dimension of food policy networks and its potential to facilitate transformative food system reform, and propose an analytical framework that unveils the mobile, unstable, and relational processes and spatialities of local food policy groups and the networks which connect them.
TL;DR: The authors examines human-wildlife conflict in and around protected areas to reflect on long-standing questions in conservation social science about protected areas and fortress thinking and develops a more-than-human political ecology of human-elephant cohabitation and conflict in Sri Lanka.
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of key arguments in favor of and in opposition to animal product alternatives, and from there situates the debate within literature on food system change, concludes that animal products are most likely to be incorporated as reforms within the corporate food regime and are generally incompatible with food sovereignty perspectives.
TL;DR: A food solidarity economy has been sprouting in Boston's lower income neighborhoods and communities of color, rooted in struggles for control over the food system itself as discussed by the authors, driven by desires for transformation and are decommodifying the food systems and increasing the urban food commons.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore how a feminist political ecology framework applied to a specific case study in Nicaragua can generate new policy and project-relevant lessons and insights from the ground that can in turn strengthen the conceptual debate on gender and climate change adaptation.
TL;DR: In this paper, a conflict between Foodsharing.de and the Berlin Food Safety Authority over the potential health and safety risks of public fridges is analyzed, and different governance practices, informed by different risk ontologies and understandings of the common good/hazard of food, come into tension through the everyday practices of sharing food.
TL;DR: The authors examine the dynamics and the "work" of the new cross-scalar scarcity politics in sustaining elite and capitalist power through justifying resource acquisitions and enclosures, large-scale policy reforms in the name of "austerity" and intensification of extraction whilst politically side-stepping more thorny politics of (re)distribution, mis-appropriation, dispossession and social justice.
TL;DR: In this article, the role of time-space priorities, time elasticities, and online/offline intersections in digital media usage among young adults was examined. But heavy use is associated with less time spent on outdoor activity and sports, socializing offline, and watching TV, and more time sleeping at night.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that it may be useful to hold open the definition of one's research objects, in order to allow multiple understandings of terms to proliferate, so as not to circumscribe in advance the set of interpretations that might otherwise be possible.
TL;DR: The authors examined how various urban food coalitions in the United Kingdom (UK) are acting to influence their local food environment and forge more sustainable socio-ecological relations within a highly unequal, contested and multi-scalar governance and policy context.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how local villagers in Dali, in southwest China, have been engaged in bringing about "gentrification" and argue that the process analyzed in this paper is not the same as the one typically written about in most of the gentrification literature, in the sense that some villagers are not displaced victims but 'assistant gentrifiers' actively pushing forward 'gentrification'.
TL;DR: The Lerma-Chapala Basin in Mexico is an archetypal case study on basin closure, where IWRM principles were said to have been applied in the early 2000s to help solve a serious water crisis as discussed by the authors.
TL;DR: In this article, a more detailed analysis of changes in mining companies' spatial government practices by retracing the genealogy of workers' camps in the Congolese copperbelt from the early 20th century to the present day is provided.
