The value of economic research por Zilberman, David, Heiman, Amir

“…The analysis must recognize that the accuracy of any estimates of benefits is uncertain. In addition, the argument behind the estimates should be transparent, relying on documentation and testimony from users, policymakers, and noneconomists. …”

Ecological, social and economic impacts of trypanotolerance: collaborative research in Central and West Africa por Reid, Robin S., Curry, J.J., Swallow, B.M., Mukhebi, A.W., Perry, Brian D., Ellis, J.E.

“…The controversy over the possible impacts of trypanosomiasis control on African ecological and socioeconomic systems exemplifies the classic polarization of arguments for development and conservation. On one hand, Africa's rapidly expanding human populations require expanded food supplies, and trypanosomiasis is a major constraint to livestock and crop production in the areas that have the greatest potential to expand food production on the continent. …”

Globalization, trade liberalization and poverty alleviation in southeast Asia: The case of the livestock sector in Vietnam por Nin-Pratt, Alejandro, Lapar, Ma. Lucila, Ehui, Simeon K.

“…A number of developing countries consider their livestock production sectors to be particularly vulnerable to global trade liberalization, especially because of the dominance of smallholder systems. The argument goes that agricultural trade liberalization will give undue advantage to large-scale commercial livestock systems at the expense of smallholder production systems, and that this in turn will add to the adjustment pressures on smallholder producers for whom income from livestock production is vital in helping them avoid poverty. …”

Sustainable intensification in agriculture. Navigating a course through competing food system priorities por Garnett, Tara, Godfray, H. Charles J.

“…While clearly ‘food security’ is about far more than agricultural policy alone, our intention here is to take a small part of the food security puzzle – agricultural policy – and to consider how it intersects with environmental, animal welfare and health policies. Our argument is that agricultural policy, if it is to help rather than hinder the ultimate goal of food security, needs to operate in an integrated manner with these other policy areas.…”

Identification of presumed ancestral DNA sequences of phaseolin in Phaseolus vulgaris por Kami, James, Becerra Velásquez, Viviana L., Debouck, Daniel G., Gepts, Paul L.

“…The presumed ancestral phaseolin sequences, without tandem repeats, were found in recently discovered but nearly extinct wild common bean populations of Ecuador and northern Peru that are intermediate between the two major gene pools of the species based on geographical and molecular arguments. Our results illustrate the usefulness of tandem direct repeats in establishing the polarity of DNA sequence divergence and therefore in proposing phylogenies.…”

Contening cultures amongst development actors por Messerschmidt, Don, Gurung, Barun, Biggs, Stephen D.

“…Lewis et al (2003) establish a cogent argument which suggests that serious analysis of the culture of aid organizations, and of the relationships with other actors, matters, and that it is a neglected area of analysis. …”

Kostfibers betydelse för grisars välfärd por Hultman, Pernilla

“…For slaughter pigs the argument to use dietary fiber is mainly to provide foraging substrate rather than to nourish, even though roughages in the ration have been shown to be beneficial for the welfare of slaughter pigs. …”

Social hållbarhet och förtätning : en kritisk studie i förtätningens sociala paradoxer por Ekelund, Katrina

Institutional Options for Entry of Agroforestry into the CGIAR System por CGIAR Technical Advisory Committee Agroforestry Panel

“…The paper is complementary to a similar one on forestry research, and a desk study on natural resources conservation and management. It outlines the arguments made about the importance of agroforestry and the changing role of ICRAF, reviews past research, and provides a stocktaking of what institutions are doing in the field, drawn largely from the work of the TAC Forestry Panel.Three possible options are identified: carrying out agroforestry research through existing IARCs, restructuring the CGIAR system into a series of regional/agroecological centers; and combining either of the first two options with a role for ICRAF as a focal point, also continuing hands on research in Africa. …”

Legal mobilisation and justice: insights from the constitutional court case on international standard schools in Indonesia por Rosser, A., Curnow, Jayne

“…In this paper, we suggest that ‘support structures for legal mobilisation’ (SSLMs) have also played an important role in shaping access to justice by influencing both the potential for legal mobilisation and the type of justice sought. In making this argument, we focus on a recent Constitutional Court case on ‘international standard schools’. …”

Between interests and worldviews: the narrow path of the Mekong River Commission por Suhardiman, Diana, Giordano, Mark, Molle, Francois

“…In this case we demonstrate how the Mekong River Commission, operating in a constrained political environment, has instead used environmental impact assessment as a way of providing political space and opening the discussion on dams to a wider public. The main argument of this paper is that scientific assessment can be politically maneuvered to shape governance alliances at both national and transboundary levels, and to a certain extent democratize decision-making processes.…”
