2nd Issue May 2021

Editorial
While the preparations of our upcoming general conference keep us and our partner ISS busy, we’ve got two new opportunities to announce: our accreditation council is looking for a consultant, and our journal is seeking two co-editors. Our latest blog post sheds the light on the benefits of local and context-specific advocacy, and today’s thematic focus is on conflict and violence. For more opportunities, publication picks, calls and events, please take a scroll.
From our Blog: Advocacy in Fragile Contexts
In our latest blog post Margit van Wessel argues that « despite all the interest in localization, and the acceptance that many important changes need to take place at country level rather than only in the Global North or international levels, there is little attention to how advocacy works in different national and sub-national contexts. » This « perpetuates the idea that experience and systematized expertise built in the Global North is the only game in town when it comes to required advocacy knowledge and skills. » And it « fails to acknowledge existing context-geared advocacy knowledge and skills in the Global South. » To change this, she and her colleagues have collected five stories from  South Sudan, Nigeria, Burundi, Central African Republic and Afghanistan to show how engagement with the context of fragility shapes effective advocacy.

Highlight: Our Extractive Age (Open Access Book)
Our Extractive Age. Expressions of Violence and Resistance by the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NORAGRIC) emphasizes how the spectrum of violence associated with natural resource extraction permeates contemporary collective life. Chronicling the increasing rates of brutal suppression of local environmental and labour activists in rural and urban sites of extraction, this volume also foregrounds related violence in areas we might not expect, such as infrastructural developments, protected areas for nature conservation, and even geoengineering in the name of carbon mitigation. Contributors argue that extractive violence is not an accident or side effect, but rather a core logic of the 21st Century planetary experience. Read more
