The analysis focuses on potential consequences of the 2009 Mining Law’s mineral export ban, implemented in January 2014. Utilizing data on value-added distribution, export volumes, and capital inflows, the research reveals diverging paths for the stainless steel and EV battery sectors. The stainless steel industry experienced significant export growth reaching $11.9 billion in 2022 and increased domestic value-added production and financing. In contrast, the EV battery sector’s exports declined by almost a third from 2014 to 2022. The EV battery industry only became a national priority in 2019, providing insufficient time to develop a comprehensive manufacturing ecosystem. Moreover, the midstream processing capacity crucial for batteries was initially lacking. Product space theory explains the challenges: battery manufacturing requires more advanced production capabilities than Indonesia's existing industries. Recent political support and announced foreign investments indicate progress in the EV sector, but concerns persist over captive coal plants reliance. The study concludes with Indonesia’s shifts beyond strict resource nationalism, namely building partnerships with automotive and battery manufacturers while opening trade. It also highlights risks of aggressive resource nationalism policies, including market distortions, trade disputes, and socio-environmental concerns.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47848,"journal":{"name":"Extractive Industries and Society-An International Journal","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 101677"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143950385","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}

However, current research on the ecological risks of geohazards mainly focuses on isolated landslide or debris flow events, often overlooking the causal relationships between multi-hazards. To address this issue, we used a Bayesian network model to quantify the hazard, used landscape pattern indices to characterize ecological vulnerability, and calculated potential ecological loss based on ecosystem services, thereby comprehensively evaluating the ecological risks of geohazards. The results indicate that (1) geohazards are primarily concentrated near riverbanks and along roads, resulting from the combined effects of natural environments and human activities. (2) The ecological risks of geohazards exhibit significant spatial clustering characteristics, with medium to high-risk areas clustered linearly along rivers and roads, while low-risk areas account for the majority and are concentrated in contiguous patches, mainly located on the periphery of watersheds. The risk levels spatially align well with the distribution of geohazard points. (3) Based on ecological risk levels and composition types, four risk prevention and management zones are identified: avoidance and monitoring early warning zones, ecological protection and restoration zones, avoidance and protection zones, and natural adaptation and regulation zones. For each zone, the article proposes targeted action plans to address the escalating challenges of geohazards and ecological risks.

How can approaches and methods be selected to support a generalization objective? How can potential users be involved to support the process of generalization?

The resultant basin-wide flooding, triggered by extreme rainfall events, poses a formidable challenge to regional security and stability. In an effort to transcend the constraints inherent in previous studies that employed single-scale or raster-based approaches, the present research adopts a novel methodology by utilizing sub-watersheds as the fundamental units for delineation, thereby facilitating a multi-scale hierarchical analysis. This approach has been meticulously applied to the delineation of eight distinct sub-basins within the Haihe River Basin, with scales varying from 100 to 40,000 km<sup>2</sup>, serving as a robust case study. The analytical framework of this study is both comprehensive and multidisciplinary, incorporating advanced techniques such as spatial autocorrelation analysis, Spearman regression analysis, and random forest modeling. These methodologies are employed with the objective of unraveling the complex mechanisms influencing flood phenomena and elucidating the scale-dependent dynamics that drive flood patterns across various scales. Empirical results from this study reveal a distinct spatial distribution of flood occurrences within the Haihe River Basin, characterized by a higher frequency in the eastern regions and a lower frequency in the western areas. Notably, flood aggregation predominantly manifests in designated flood storage zones and along riverine corridors. This research also accentuates the significant scale effects in flood distribution, particularly highlighting that the impact of spatial indicators reaches its zenith at the 300 km<sup>2</sup> sub-basin scale. Furthermore, the study delineates the differential impacts of topographic, hydrological, and land cover elements across varying basin scales. It is observed that these elements exert their most pronounced effects at large, medium, and small basin scales respectively. Intriguingly, the contribution rates of these indicators fluctuate across different sub-basin scales, with surface cover emerging as the most influential factor, followed by topographical features and hydrographic conditions. These insights offer invaluable guidance for the strategic prioritization and targeted management of flood mitigation efforts within river basins, thereby contributing significantly to the enhancement of regional resilience against hydrological disasters. This study not only advances our understanding of flood dynamics but also underscores the critical importance of scale-aware strategies in the effective management of water resources in the face of climate change.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":309,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Impact Assessment Review","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 107984"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143948142","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}

Using new data on nearly 10K candidates, while voter penalties against female candidates are important, our analysis finds that parties can effectively counteract these biases through strong list placement. However, we also find that parties nominate far fewer women than men and appear to apply different selection criteria when placing female candidates in lower list positions compared to their male counterparts.
