This study addresses the question whether these variations are related to differences in immigrant integration policies and welfare policies across Europe. We argue that both policies need to be considered simultaneously, given the development of integration policies within historical frameworks of pre-existing welfare regimes, and expect that policies may set intergroup norms discouraging exclusion of ethno-religious immigrants. Additionally, we hypothesize that exclusionism-reducing impact of governmental policies might be weaker for people in economic precarious positions as compared to their more privileged counterparts, because people in such precarious positions face more intergroup competition. Using data from the European Social Survey, enriched with information on immigrant integration policies and welfare policies related to the labour market, our findings show that exposure to more welcoming integration policies is substantially and significantly negatively associated with exclusion of ethno-religious immigrants. However, this is not the case for welfare policies: although we also find a negative association with exclusion of ethno-religious immigrants, it is non-significant. Moreover, we find that the negative association between exposure to more welcoming integration policies and exclusion of immigrants is equally strong for people in precarious situations versus those in non-precarious situations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48338,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Research","volume":"132 ","pages":"Article 103251"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145003547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This aid architecture supported the burgeoning civil society to train Ettadhamun residents in the skill of ‘interpersonal communication’ (tawasul bayna al‐afrad) for the purpose of managing social conflict. Yet the members of the only non‐religious association in the neighbourhood of Nogra reject the liberal recommendations of their trainers and carve out a tense neighbourhood co‐presence without dialogue with their Salafist neighbours. Counter‐intuitively to deliberative theories of democracy, I suggest that in this non‐dialogical co‐presence inheres a public sphere with social and political possibilities. Neighbourhood residents trade liberal argumentation for dwelling together beyond words, which does not attempt to reform one another and engenders solidarity. The suspension of dialogue reflects a minoritarian articulation of the aftermath of the 2011 revolution as ‘the reconstitutive phase of the political’. This articulation refuses the curated narrative of the postcolonial Tunisian nation and pries open the teleology of liberal democratic transition.","PeriodicalId":47904,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute","volume":"81 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145003119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While current CDW recycling management predominantly employs government-led rigid measures, the potential of soft management approaches remains critically underexplored. To address this, this study evaluates the impact of soft management policies and identifies optimal strategies through an empirical study. An agent-based model embedded with back-propagation neural networks was innovatively developed and validated using data from 1005 residential projects in Shenzhen, China. Results reveal that soft management policies significantly enhance recycling rates and generate greater environmental, economic, and social benefits compared to rigid policies. Among soft policies, guidance policy performs best, increasing recycling rates by 14.13 %, followed by voluntary (7.24 %) and incentive (4.32 %) policies, while mandatory policy shows minimal improvement (0.24 %). However, a hybrid policy combining soft and rigid measures delivers the highest benefits, nearly three times those of the baseline policy. This study provides empirical support for integrating system simulation and machine learning to address CDW recycling management. More importantly, these findings advance scholarly understanding of the effects of soft management on CDW recycling and offer valuable insights for governments to refine CDW recycling policies, promoting a more sustainable future in the built environment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":309,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Impact Assessment Review","volume":"117 ","pages":"Article 108161"},"PeriodicalIF":11.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145004644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, electoral processes also serve as focal points in which right-wing political parties can adopt a negative (or xenophobic) discourse against immigrants and other minority groups in order to obtain political benefits (i.e. more electoral support). Left-wing parties are often better off abandoning the immigration issue and focusing on other policy areas during the campaign. As a result, anti-immigration narratives become more prominent during periods of election salience. In this article, we take advantage of the timing of the cross-national post-election surveys included in the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES) to explore the effects of election salience on individuals’ anti-immigration attitudes. We find that immigration attitudes become more polarized just after an election has taken place. On the one hand, right-wing respondents exhibit more negative attitudes toward immigrants when the election is salient, but those negative views decrease as we move away from the election. On the other hand, left-wing respondents express lower levels of xenophobia immediately after the election, but their immigration views become more negative as time since the election increases. Surprisingly, these effects are only detectable in contexts where the immigration issue is less salient.","PeriodicalId":48324,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Peace Research","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145002862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The extent to which this conflict might be resolved depends, in part, on whether farmers and the wider community differ in their degree of concern for the environment. We measured the engagement of farmers and the wider community with biodiversity in New Zealand. We also investigated differences among farmers and the wider community in the antecedents of engagement, such as their involvement and goal intentions with respect to conserving biodiversity. We found that farmers and the wider community were similar in their involvement, cognitive engagement, and affective engagement with conserving biodiversity. Both had similar attitudes towards, and goal intentions regarding, conserving biodiversity, but they differed in their behavioral engagement, their behavior towards biodiversity. We found that farmers were more (not less) behaviorally engaged than the wider community. We concluded that the difference between farmers and the wider community in their behavioral engagement with protecting biodiversity was the product of differences in opportunities and opportunity costs related to such behavior. This has implications for the wider community's perception of farmers' motivations and its judgments about what constitutes “good” farming practice from an environmental perspective.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"103 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145003148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assemble a balanced panel of 16 thousand plots representing cadastral parcels on pastures over 24 years along with their date of ‘allocation’ (formal registration in the cadastre) and tenure category, as well as a set of remotely sensed geographic and climatic variables. The causal effect of land allocation to users is isolated from other factors driving biomass change using a difference-in-difference design with a staggered absorbing treatment and heterogeneous treatment effects accounting for spatial spillovers. Results show that allocation of leasehold titles to individual farmers has a strongly negative effect on the pasture vegetation measured by annual peak Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), comparable to a drought occurring once in 25 years. We explain this by increasing vegetation offtake that follows land allocation to individual farmers, who invest by increasing their herd size. This effect is exacerbated by spillover from the allocation to individuals of adjacent parcels, reducing available grazing for former users. The negative spillovers suggest that the ability of the tenure system to redistribute land is being tested now by rapidly increasing livestock numbers. We warn that currently restricted land markets with imperfect institutions impede the efficient allocation of pasture in Kazakhstan and may lead to pasture deterioration, whilst livestock numbers increase.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17933,"journal":{"name":"Land Use Policy","volume":"158 ","pages":"Article 107741"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144996362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
