Abstract In this paper, we show how communities in Northern Kenya proactively engage an unfolding megaproject and the temporalities it evokes—the Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia Transport Corridor (LAPSSET). We argue that latitude have contending with megaprojects is broader more dynamic than passive reception of or outright resistance against futures promised. By introducing concepts entangling fraying, emphasise agency create for themselves by appreciating their strategies expressions...
Given the complexity of current social structures and environmental problems, attaining a truly sustainable society seems rather improbable today. Not only has not been planned for preconditions effects that sustainability entails, is also unlikely given individual consumption patterns, prevailing economic worldviews, short‐term focus political processes. In this context, transdisciplinary research seen more as key to change towards sustainability. order do this, non‐academic actors must be...
Dryland livestock production systems are changing in many parts of the world, as a result growing human populations and associated pressure on water land. Based combination social natural science methods, we studied 30-year transformation process from pastoralism to livestock-based agro-pastoral system northwestern Kenya, with overall aim increase understanding ongoing transition towards intensified agro-pastoralist dryland East Africa. Key this was use enclosures for land rehabilitation,...
Abstract Kenya's development seems trapped in a vicious circle caused by soil erosion, declining fertility, land fragmentation, fluctuating agricultural production, widespread poverty, corruption, ethnic tension, rapid population, urban growth and economy. The challenge is to reverse the negative effects of these processes promote sustainable development. This paper, based on multidisciplinary work discusses whether agriculture attainable Murang'a district Central Highlands. Firstly, it...
Abstract Pastoralist adaptation strategies have to address multiple, overlapping, and often inter-related processes of socio-ecological change. The present study addresses the need for inter-regional comparative studies that account different geographic, climate, socio-economic contexts in order understand how pastoralists adapt changes livelihood conditions. paper uses data from a unique survey pastoralist households four neighbouring counties dryland Kenya. Taking our point departure an...
Triggered by urbanization and changing land use, coastal transformation is a rapidly increasing phenomenon in the global south, driving dramatic livelihoods impacts. However, existing literature on small-scale fisheries (SSF) has paid little attention to way transformations shape conditions for SSF communities. This study proposes new orientation studies exploring assemblage of entangled sociomaterial processes that account investigating waterfront fishing community Karnataka, India. Drawing...

As marine environment continues to increase in importance as both an essential resource reservoir facilitator change, it is apparent that find long-term sustainable solutions for use sea its thus engage a blue economy, integrated interdisciplinary approach needed. result, working proliferating.

Several political and academic arenas have been turning their focus to the seas. In EU, need govern plan sustainable uses of seas has primarily expressed through implementation Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Maritime Spatial Planning (MSPD).
