Commentaries on Political Considerations, Nationalism, and Development por Muleya, Benson Kabeta, Ndegwa, Philip

“…While this is true, it also would have been useful to recognize the role of violence and political instability in such countries as Namibia and South Africa and to recognize the underlying reasons why political violence occurs.

Cooperation among community leaders: The role of women’s leadership and exposure to conflict por Nigus, Halefom Yigzaw, Abay, Kibrom A.

“…We also document nuanced findings that reconcile existing mixed evidence on the implication of exposure to conflict on cooperation: while conflict events that affect the whole community, such as political violence (including battles) are associated with higher cooperation, other types of conflict (e.g., demonstrations and riots) are associated with lower levels of cooperation. …”

How did households in Mali cope with covariate shocks between 2018 and 2023? Exploration of a unique dataset por Marivoet, Wim, Hema, Aboubacar

“…Among the main findings of this study is the pronounced diversity in shock and coping profiles observed across time and place, which in turn complicates any straightforward identification of common and consistent patterns in household coping behavior. This said, political violence has increased over time; food prices hiked in 2018, 2022 and 2023; rainy seasons were underperforming in 2021 and 2023; extreme weather events reached a peak in 2021; while the Gao region in 2023 suffered from all five shock domains at the same time. …”

“…This study analyses seven factors used to explain the conversion of forest to pasture in Central America between 1979 and 1994: 1) favourable markets for livestock products; 2) subsidised credit and road construction; 3) land-tenure policies; 4) limited technological change in livestock production; 5) policies which reduce timber values; 6) reduced levels of political violence; and 7) characteristics specific to cattle which make conversion attractive. …”
