Theory, change and the search for epistemological courage in shaping a new world order
No matter how narrowly you focus your spatial or temporal lenses, you are bound to
catch sight of multiple significant challenges to human community. Many of these
challenges are shared, such as Covid-19, though their impacts on individuals and groups
are felt unevenly. Some challenges are immediate and existential, such as the wars in
Ukraine, Syria, and Yemen. Others, such as race, gender, caste, and class-based inequalities, are deeply embedded in social structures, providing privilege and persecution, and reward and oppression in unequal measures. And climate change, though
slower moving, holds out the prospect of leading to total social collapse. How to make
sense of these dramatic changes? This essay explores the adequacy of theories of IR and
G/IPE in explaining the emergent world (dis)order. It argues that, whether orthodox or
critical, theory must find a way to centre humanity within the biosphere if theory is to
adequately inform practice
From conflict to collaboration: Atewa Forestgovernance

The mostsuccessful outcomes, however, are observed where localparticipation is an essential part of conservation efforts. InGhana, forests have experienced various degrees ofexploitation over the years, resulting in their ecologicaldecline. Despite its designation as a protected area for bio-diversity and ecosystem services, the Atewa Range ForestReserve in Ghana has been significantly impacted bydeforestation, illegal mining, and other destructive activi-ties
Transforming water resources management in South Africa. 'Catchment management agencies' and the ideal of democratic development
This article addresses the dilemma of the democratic development of water resources
management in the context of Post-Apartheid South Africa and unequal access to water. Using a
political sociology of public policy approach as a conceptual framework, this article focuses on the
actual functioning of the catchment management agencies (CMAs). On the basis of case studies’
analysis, it is argued that CMAs are essentially political arenas although the semi-structured interviews
conducted reveal that this political dimension is mainly denied by most of CMAs members
and staff as well as by policy makers. Finally, the risks of professionalising interest representation
within CMAs are evoked.The French Embassy of South
