The status of climate change adaptation in fisheries management: Policy, legislation and implementation

AbstractClimate change is altering ecosystems and fisheries throughout the world's oceans, demanding climate‐adaptive governance for conserving and managing living marine resources. While in some regions fisheries management systems address wider ecosystem dynamics within management frameworks and decision‐making, which may facilitate resilience to climate change, there remains a shortfall in terms of directly incorporating climate change adaptation into fisheries management legislation and implementation. This review assesses the current state of implementation of climate change adaptation into fisheries management policies and legislation across 11 national case studies, based on government documents and the primary literature. The overarching goal is to understand the key elements and gaps in existing fisheries management policies and legislation in the context of climate change. Given recent reforms of fisheries management policies and/or legislation across the nations examined, political recognition of the need to address climate change adaptation in fisheries management appears to be increasing; albeit formal mandates of climate‐adaptation objectives in fisheries management are largely missing. Based on our review, recommendations for achieving climate‐adaptive fisheries management regimes are developed. Overall, this study will help to inform and broaden the scope of management approaches and tools to accelerate the move towards adaptive fisheries management that accounts for climate change impacts on fish stocks, fisheries and the societies that depend upon them.

Covid and the politics of nature

It is argued that the decades before 2020 saw a steady rise in public concern about and political recognition of symptoms of a crisis in human social and economic relations to (the rest of) nature. For many, the Covid-19 pandemic has become linked to that, as well as providing, despite the grief and suffering, moments when a different relationship to nature could be experienced. The possibility of a transformative politics towards a just reconciliation between social life and nature may be more visible, but will be ruthlessly resisted by those in power.

Rendered invisible: Institutional misrecognition and the reproduction of energy poverty

This paper makes the case that a lack of political and institutional recognition underpins the (re)production of domestic energy poverty. Previous research into the drivers of energy poverty has tended to focus on household-scale material and economic factors, with relatively little attention paid to the symbolic structures that act to legitimise deprivation. To evidence our argument, we draw on a case study of Poland during the period 2010–2015, conducted via in-depth interviews with high-level decision-makers and experts. We utilise Nancy Fraser’s concept of ‘misrecognition’ to argue that during this period those suffering from energy poverty were discursively marginalised in two interlinked ways. First, ‘non-recognition’, in that the lived reality of energy poverty and the complexity of its causes were largely ‘rendered invisible’ in mainstream political and policy discourse. Second, ‘disrespect’, in that many dominant understandings of and responses to energy poverty were informed by narratives based on stigmatisation and othering. We demonstrate how these forms of misrecognition actively fed into policy design and operation at both national and local scales, ultimately contributing to the reproduction of energy poverty. We conclude by arguing that a progressive politics to address energy inequalities is predicated upon a symbolic strategy that involves raising awareness about the existence and prevalence of energy poverty, whilst also challenging narratives that frame disadvantaged groups as individually responsible for their own deprivation.

Silent Accord: Qi 契 as a Metaphor for Enlightenment and Transmission in Chan Buddhist Discourse

In this paper, we explore the historical background and the semantic underpinnings of a central, if marginally treated, metaphor of enlightenment and transmission in Chan discourse, “silent accord” 默契. It features centrally in Essentials of the Transmission of Mind 傳心法要, a text that gathers the teachings of Chan master Huangbo Xiyun (d. ca. 850), a major Tang dynasty figure. “Silent accord” is related to the concept of mind-to-mind transmission, which lies at the very core of Chan Buddhist self-understanding. However, Chan historiography has shown that this self-understanding was partially a product of the Song dynasty lineage records, historically retroactive syncretic constructs produced by monks and literati as efforts towards doctrinal and political recognition and orthodoxy. There are thus lacunae in the history of Chan thought opened up by the retrospective fictions of Song dynasty, and a lack of reliable, dateable documents from the preceding Tang dynasty era, possibly fraught with later additions. We situate the metaphor “silent accord” in the history of Chan thought by searching for its origins, mapping its functions in Chan literature, arguing for its influence and thereby its role in helping to bridge the ninth century gap.

Political interest, recognition and acceptance of voting responsibility, and electoral participation: young people’s perspective

ABSTRACT In March 2018, Maltese parliament effectuated a constitutional amendment by which voting rights were conferred on circa. 8,000 younger citizens aged sixteen and seventeen. Concerns over the integrity of this decision primarily emanated from the prevalent portrayal of young people as politically apathetic citizens with no appreciation for the responsibility implicit in voting. This widely aired apprehension served to motivate the present study, in which the validity of these concerns was determined through measurement of young people’s levels of interest in politics, their recognition and acceptance of voting responsibility, and their intended electoral participation. The research’s objectives were accomplished through a quantitative methodology and the involvement of 143 of the newest members of the electorate. Results revealed that participants predominantly maintained moderate levels of political interest and high levels of recognition and acceptance of voting responsibility. Moreover, the greater number of participants expressed intentions to vote in the upcoming general and European Parliamentary elections. The study’s outcomes bolstered the integrity of parliament’s decision to extend the franchise to younger citizens and simultaneously undermined the legitimacy of certain opposing arguments.

Outlands – Case Study on the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil

Was the 2014 FIFA World Cup a blessing or a curse for Brazil? And could the hosting states benefit from the tournament in an economic recession? This study investigates whether the World Cup was a catalyst for Brazil’s economic downturn, after a prosperous decade of poverty reduction, political recognition and event planning. Therefore, Brazil’s economic situation between 2002 – 2019 is investigated on different alternative aspects before turning an eye on the hosting of the World Cup and later on Summer Olympics. The results show a negative economic impact for the hosting states of the World Cup on the GDP per capita growth, especially in preparing (-6.9 percent) and processing the aftermath (-11.25 percent). But also, that the World Cup itself seems to have a positive component, while the Olympics constantly harm the regional economy (-16.91 percent). This further indicates that emerging markets should not host mega-sport events to achieve economic goals.

The Algorithmic Disruption of Workplace Solidarity

This paper examines the development and technological mediation of the concept of solidarity. We focus on the workplace as a focal point of solidarity relations, and utilise a phenomenological approach to describe and analyse those relations. Workplace solidarity, which has been historically concretised through social objects such as labor unions, is of particular political relevance since it has played an outsize role in the broader struggle for social, economic, and political rights, recognition, and equality. We argue that the use of automated decision support systems (ADS) in labor process management may negatively affect the formation of these relations. As solidarity motivates collective political action and risk-taking, the mediation and potential obstruction of solidarity relations by ADS is politically significant. We contribute to the growing literature on the “future of work” problem in elucidating the technological mediation of workplace solidarity.

Bialik’s Belarusian passport – The Belarusian People’s Republic and the Jews in 1921

Starting from a seemingly anecdotal detail – Bialik’s Belarusian passport – this article explores a little known page of the Belarusian People’s Republic history and of Jewish/non-Jewish relations in Eastern Europe, i.e. the rapprochement between Jewish and Belarusian political activists in Berlin in 1921, before and after the peace treaty of Riga. Using published and unpublished archival sources, the author reconstitutes the efforts of three Jewish officials of the BNR government – David Anekshtein, Isaac Lur’e and Samuil Zhitlovsky – to raise awareness of the Belarusian cause among Jewish, and particularly, Zionist circles in Berlin and in the West. The article explores the BNR government in exile’s last attempt to secure statehood at a turning point in the history of the region through active cooperation with the Jewish community. It confirms the central role attributed to the Jewish nation in the Belarusian national project but also reveals the tensions and frustrations on both sides. While this cooperation failed to produce the expected outcome – BNR independence – it was crucial in shaping the BNR’s response to the violent anti-Jewish pogroms during the summer 1921 and broadening the public knowledge about the Belarusian cause to various émigré circles in Berlin, as well as laid the basis for mutual political and cultural recognition in the BSSR.

Community, faith and politics. The ovoos of the Shinehen Buryats throughout the 20th century

This article explores the relationship between ovoo construction and the parallel political recognition of Buryat refugees in Hulun Buir (Inner Mongolia). More precisely, it analyses how these sacred cairns and their annual rituals have served as symbols of Buryat territorial appropriation throughout the 20th century. Considering the ovoo as a support for local history, the article illustrates the way ovoo construction links territory, politics and identity in this multi-ethnic area.

Educación Literaria: reconocimiento complejo y participación legítima del lector literario como actos de justicia educativa

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la lectura literaria escolar, específicamente, el reconocimiento y la participación como categorías epistémicas y políticas que operan en los encuentros lectoliterarios en la escuela, desarrollando dos perspectivas de revisión: la experiencia lectora y la distinción de dos caminos explicativos sobre el conocimiento; uno que lo sitúa como revelación de la realidad, y otro que lo concibe como construcción de mundo en la experiencia. Metodológicamente, este trabajo corresponde a una revisión teórica que busca articular las dimensiones epistémicas, políticas y didácticas de las configuraciones posibles del reconocimiento y la participación imbricadas en distintas concepciones de la educación literaria. Para ello, desde una mirada interpretativa, se realiza una aproximación conceptual a la díada conocimiento/realidad, luego se describen aspectos de la experiencia lectora y, finalmente, se desarrolla un enfoque crítico sobre la lectura literaria en la escuela, situando la reflexión en el campo de la justicia educativa como condición para la justicia social. Entre las principales conclusiones destacan: la necesidad de complejizar el reconocimiento epistémico y político del lector literario escolar para habilitar su participación expresiva y la necesidad de situar la reflexión didáctica de la educación literaria más allá de lo metodológico

Notes for a politics of affections based on a critique of the recognition’s anthropology of Marcel Henaff

Our purpose in the present text is to present the politics of recognition of Marcel Henaff, and in a second moment to submit it to criticism in order to obtain a theoretical performance that allows us to outline a political theory of the affects associated with the ethnography of the ceremonial gift and the recognition that is mobilized through it. Our thesis is that the ceremonial gift allows us to notice that a solid political community with well achieved social integration mechanisms, implies alliances —to say it in Henaff's terms— that are fundamentally organized not on the basis of common rules or universal principles of justice, but on the basis of inter-subjective affects others, as a form of political recognition that is ultimately the decisive element that makes possible and preserves in time the possibility of life in common among different people.

THE A Politics of Recognition: The Legislation of Zakat Law in a Transition of New Order and Reform Era

This article discusses Islamic civilians' struggles in gaining recognition of ‘positivization’ of Zakat Law No. 38/1999 and analyzes dynamics of relations between religion and the state in Indonesia. A period of democratic transition from Suharto to B.J. Habibie (Reform era 1998) marked an entry point for a new phase of state juridical recognition to Islamic law. In this paper, the dynamics of political recognition of zakat law are elucidated from a historical-critical analysis. The findings are twofold. Firstly, the zakat law was enacted during B.J. Habibie’s administration, where waves of democratization began. Secondly, the Islamic civilians played an important role in institutionalizing zakat and providing political support for the Ministry of Religion's efforts in proposing Zakat Management Bill (RUUPZ) to the House of Representatives. The state acknowledged multicultural society by adopting their living religious law whose application does not threaten the nation's unity.

How do Lithuanian Citizens Perceive the European Parliament? EU Legitimacy Issue and Trust in the European Parliament

This article examines the problem of legitimacy within the EU political system and focuses on the political power and recognition of the only one directly elected EU institution – the European Parliament. Historically, being the weaker house of the EU legislative system, throughout the last decades, the European Parliament has increased the political authority dramatically. These political changes should have risen the participation of the EU citizens in the elections and the legitimacy of this EU institution. Analysing the Lithuanian case, based on the qualitative interviewing of politicians and quantitative survey of citizens, the authors claim that while most of Lithuanians recognise the significance of the European Parliament and the turnout in the European elections has increased, the European Parliamentary elections remain, however, of secondary importance.

Are We Asking Too Much of the Health Sector? Exploring the Readiness of Brazilian Primary Healthcare to Respond to Domestic Violence Against Women.

There is growing recognition of the health sector's potential role in addressing domestic violence (DV) against women. Although Brazil has a comprehensive policy framework on violence against women (VAW), implementation has been slow and incomplete in primary healthcare (PHC), and little is known about the implementation challenges. This paper aims to assess the readiness of two PHC clinics in urban Brazil to integrate an intervention to strengthen their DV response. We conducted 20 semi-structured interviews with health managers and health providers; a document analysis of VAW and DV policies from São Paulo and Brazil; and 2 structured facility observations. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Findings from our readiness assessment revealed gaps in both current policy and practice needing to be addressed, particularly with regards to governance and leadership, health service organisation and health workforce. DV received less political recognition, being perceived as a lower priority compared to other health issues. Lack of clear guidance from the central and municipal levels emerged as a crucial factor that weakened DV policy implementation both by providers and managers. Furthermore, responses to DV lost visibility, as they were diluted within generic violence responses. The organizational structure of the PHC system in São Paulo, which prioritised the number of consultations and household visits as the main performance indicators, was an additional difficulty in legitimising healthcare providers' time to address DV. Individual-level challenges reported by providers included lack of time and knowledge of how to respond, as well as fears of dealing with DV. Assessing readiness is critical because it helps to evaluate what services and infrastructure are already in place, also identifying obstacles that may hinder adaptation and integration of an intervention to strengthen the response to DV before implementation.

Formación de maestros rurales y salud escolar, 1935-1945

El presente trabajo forma parte de una investigación más amplia en la que mostramos algunos fenómenos que, desde nuestro punto de vista, han influido en la construcción de la negociación como estrategia para conseguir la atención y respuesta de las autoridades en el normalismo rural. Ya sea en las relaciones cotidianas entre profesores y estudiantes, entre los estudiantes de una escuela en particular y su dirigencia nacional, entre los estudiantes y las autoridades locales o a través de las disposiciones oficiales, las Normales Rurales viven envueltas en una negociación constante, una negociación que da cuenta de la autonomía asistida que se fue construyendo como resultado de estas interacciones desde sus propios orígenes en la mitad de los años treinta del siglo XX en estas instituciones. Las Normales Rurales en México han tenido que luchar históricamente por su reconocimiento político, a pesar de lo cual las investigaciones e historiografía de las últimas décadas en este campo se han producido generalmente en contextos de acontecimientos críticos y violentos. En esta ocasión ponemos atención en situaciones relacionadas con el cuidado de la salud y la higiene escolar. Al reconocer el interés del gobierno por promover el cuidado de la salud en las escuelas, nos centramos particularmente en la identificación de las principales enfermedades que aquejan a las Normales Rurales y las formas en que las autoridades de estas escuelas las atendieron entre 1939 y los años cuarenta, cuando funcionaban con matrícula mixta. Además de la literatura de la época referente al tema, para la realización de este trabajo ha sido de suma importancia la consulta de documentos en algunos archivos de Escuelas Normales Rurales, el Archivo Histórico de la Secretaría de Educación Pública y el Archivo General de la Nación.

Advances in the Cycling Mobility Policy in Campinas: Comparison between 2006 and 2018 Master Plans

The growing use of bicycle as a means of transportation in urban centers points to an alternative to the current means of transportation crisis. The progress of the cycling results in several benefits that continuously attract populations and public institutions to invest in its expansion. However, attention must be paid to the legal consistency of this development process in order to fully ensure the potentials it has to offer. The study of the evolution of urban documents that determine urban mobility is of great importance to identify the legal advances regarding the cycling mobility policy. In the city of Campinas, Brazil, the comparison between the 2006 and 2018 Master Plans allowed to affirm that there are advances in the political recognition of the cycling as a mean of transportation to be developed. Other legal documents dealing with the use of bicycle for mobility, however, highlighted the uniquely technical nature of these advances, which revealed the need for an interdisciplinary approach that considers the specificities of this mode and that gives the cyclist proper centrality

Performing Gender and Political Recognition: Israeli Reform Jewish Life-cycle Rituals

Anthropologists see life-cycle rituals as a significant way to understand gender roles and identities in religious communities. While in the past, these compulsory rituals involved a significant change in a person’s social status, today many of their traditional features have been transformed. This ethnographic inquiry examines Bat Mitzvah ceremonies (coming of age rituals for girls) in Israeli Reform Jewish congregations. By including new blessings, appropriating masculine religious symbols, and creating new bodily gestures, the feminine life-cycle ritual challenges the traditional Jewish laws and contemporary socio-cultural constructions of the Israeli Jewish community. The exclusion of the Israeli Reform community from mainstream Jewish religion turns this ritual into a subversive act that battles local Jewish Orthodoxy authority. The ceremony is a political performance, which positions the Reform congregations as an activist religious agent for gender equality in the Israeli public space.

A experiência de estar na universidade sob a ótica de uma indígena estudante da pós-graduação

O presente trabalho, resultado da autoria dialógica entre uma acadêmica e pesquisadora indígena e dois pesquisadores não indígenas envolvidos nessa temática, intenciona contribuir para maior visibilidade e reconhecimento das trajetórias dos acadêmicos e profissionais indígenas, formados por universidades públicas, num contexto recente de constituição de políticas de ações afirmativas as quais viabilizam o ingresso e a permanência de populações indígenas e afrodescendentes no Brasil e na América Latina. Estes sujeitos têm se inserido na educação superior e atuado intensamente nos mais diferentes espaços de permanência estudantil, de lutas políticas, de reconhecimento social e cultural, não somente nos ambientes acadêmicos como também no cotidiano de suas comunidades de pertencimento. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, realizada por meio de revisão bibliográfica, pesquisa documental e do relato da experiência de uma acadêmica e pesquisadora indígena. As reflexões empreendidas destacam os desafios cotidianos vivenciados pelos indígenas ao se constituírem pesquisadores, intelectuais, protagonistas, sujeitos e autores dos conhecimentos por eles produzidos, inaugurando um momento inédito na história dos povos indígenas no Brasil e contribuindo para novas estratégias de resistência e fortalecimento das lutas indígenas.

The criteria for self determination and recognition as a sovereign state: Case of Kosovo

Self-determination is a controversial issue in public international relations as well as in international law. The rise of groups of people in different geographical locations of the world, seeking alienation and recognition, as independent sovereign state cannot therefore continued to be ignored. The protection of the inviolable right of state sovereignty as provided for under the preamble of the United Nations Charter cannot be shoved under the carpet. It is now a public debate on whether state sovereignty has to be protected at all costs including ignoring pressure from proponents of self-determination. What then are the characteristics or criteria that qualifies a group to be entitled to secession? The aim of this article is to look at the brief history of self-determination and assess the criteria considered for declaration of sovereignty. The case of Kosovo will be considered extensively. The author seeks to fill the gap in existing literature on whether recognition automatically confers upon meeting the laid down requirements or political decisions also hold water. The methodology used is theoretical It is clear from the results that the subject of graduation from self-determination to state sovereignty is an issue not so much of legality but political recognition by the international community. This research will positively contribute to the debate surrounding self-determination and sovereignty. It will at least demystify the fog surrounding this highly contested principle. The research will help in widening the criteria for state sovereignty to include political recognition. The author proposes more studies in the area of whether political recognition is legal when making international law decisions.
