In the absence of a governance framework for climate engineering technologies such as solar radiation management (SRM), practices scientific research and intellectual property acquisition can de facto shape development field. It is therefore important to make visible emerging patterns patenting, which we suggest effectively be done using bibliometric methods. We explore challenges in defining boundary engineering, set out strategy taken this study. A dataset 825 publications on between 1971...
Drawing on a mix of policy learning and new institutionalist theory, the paper sets out empirical evidence regarding unfolding neighbourhood planning (NP) in England during more than ten years participatory practice. What has been learned about how this shaped reflexively by institutional actors is reviewed, drawing two significant national research studies. The contribution to provide detailed consideration as practiced over decade iterations that have featured time, including what tells us...
A global goal to limit dangerous climate change has been agreed through the 2015 Paris Accords. The scientific case for action accepted by nearly all governments, at national and local or state level. Yet in legislatures, there is a gap between stated ambitions implementation of measures necessary achieve them. This paper examines this analysing experience following three UK cities: Belfast, Edinburgh, Leeds. Researchers worked with city officials elected representatives, using interviews...
The “circular economy” is an increasingly influential concept linking economic and environmental policy to enable sustainable use of resources. A crucial although often overlooked element this a circular nutrient economy, which economy that achieves the minimization losses during production, processing, distribution, consumption food other products, as well comprehensive recovery nutrients from organic residuals at each these stages for reuse in agricultural production. There are multiple...
Researchers using deliberative techniques tend to favour in-person processes. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has added urgency question of whether meaningful research is possible in an online setting. This paper considers reasons for taking deliberation online, including bringing people together more easily; convening international events; and reducing environmental impact research. It reports on four case studies: a set stakeholder workshops considering greenhouse gas removal technologies,...
Neighbourhood planning in the UK is a striking example of international turn to localism and public participation, statutory weight afforded it setting apart from many other initiatives. Its promoters portray as straightforward transfer power state community. However, its legitimacy relies upon complex, hybrid forms representative, participatory epistemological authority. A growing literature interrogating relations between neighbourhood groups – collectives utilising these new powers...
The affective, practical and political dimensions of care are conventionally marginalised in spatial planning the UK, which technical evidence certified expert judgements privileged. Citizens encouraged to participate system influence how places where they live will change. But make kind arguments that influential, their for place must be silenced. Then 2011, Localism Act introduced neighbourhood enabling community groups write own statutory policies. This initiative explicitly valorized...
Freeports are special economic zones, providing tax and customs benefits aimed at reducing friction encouraging regional development. This place-based policy analysis of UK freeports draws upon qualitative interviews deliberative workshops with leading industry, government, civil society stakeholders in the two largest Freeport regions – Teesside Liverpool. We find first, that purported tax, customs, planning deemed less economically important than agglomeration innovation industries within...
