In order to close the gender gap in energy access, the Kenyan Ministry of Energy developed its 2019 Gender Policy. Unlike similar policies – such as ECOWAS's Policy for Gender Mainstreaming in Energy Access – Kenya's Gender Policy emerged from strong leadership by the Ministry of Energy, put clean cooking up front, and established an action plan to operationalize the Constitution's gender quota. To understand how these policy features appeared in the Kenyan context, this paper explores how the dynamics between actors working at the gender and energy nexus have impacted the development of the Gender Policy using the Actors, Objectives and Context political economy framework. We find that four major objectives drive the key actors: electricity access, economic opportunity, access to clean cooking technologies, and gender equality. Examining how these objectives are realized in the Policy, we find a convergence of top-down government efforts to uphold constitutional rights to gender equality and bottom-up advocacy from civil society to prioritize clean cooking and women's access to energy services.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48384,"journal":{"name":"Energy Research & Social Science","volume":"127 ","pages":"Article 104201"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144524229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Street-level imagery, a prevalent data source for studying urban physical environments, provides detailed visual information about cityscapes. However, traditional methods typically rely on the audits of predefined semantic elements, which often oversimplify the urban environments. This study introduces a framework that applies image deep features to capture the complexity of urban physical environments, thereby inspiring solutions to urban problem. These deep features encode rich urban landscape semantics into a high-dimensional feature, capturing not only visual elements but also their detailed attributes and complex spatial interrelationships. We validate this approach through a case study on urban landscape cell identification, a task that demands an integrated understanding of urban visual elements and their spatial organization. By analyzing over 8 million street-level images from 36 Chinese cities, we demonstrate that these deep features effectively encode complex patterns and latent structural characteristics of urban environments, surpassing traditional methods. This work offers a novel perspective by introducing image deep features into urban studies, fundamentally enhancing urban understanding and providing a powerful foundation for future research and informed decision-making.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"166 ","pages":"Article 106196"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144523919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper examines the way the press addresses these issues in public debate. Drawing upon a case study of Aéroports de Paris (ADP), the company owning and managing airports in Paris city-region, this article analyses media reports spanning the period from 1990 to 2024. It shows that ADP's financialisation-driven property strategy and its increasing role in the development of the Paris region is rarely questioned by the press. Media coverage struggles to address the processes at stake, and thus limit their understanding by the readership and the questioning of the urban model to which they contribute. Our results highlight that the news media tend to naturalise the market-driven diversification of airport firms and their growing role and impact in metropolitan peripheries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48405,"journal":{"name":"Cities","volume":"166 ","pages":"Article 106200"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144523915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite early criticisms labeling the single-buyer model as a “dangerous path” for developing countries, our results show that the competitive electricity market model has not outperformed the single-buyer model in increasing renewable energy share in generation and reducing carbon emission intensity in these countries—both key metrics that indicate the success of a country’s energy transition.

We argue that these decisions are shaped by the lending behavior of third-party creditors, as governments strategically allocate loans to maximize their geopolitical influence. Specifically, creditors observe and respond to third-party lending patterns, using these signals to guide their own choices. Crucially, the identity of these third-party creditors matters: rather than engaging directly with rivals, creditors tend to specialize and cooperate within their partnerships. We introduce and empirically test network effects in sovereign lending, showing that lending follows a pattern of conditional preferential attachment. Creditors are more likely to extend loans to recipients supported by their political partners than to recipients supported by adversaries. Consequently, although lending competition is not easily visible in aggregate data, lending patterns reveal a fragmentation into politically aligned creditor blocs. Our inferential network models provide strong evidence of this dynamic, demonstrating that governments’ perceptions of a recipient’s strategic value are shaped by the actions of other lenders. By incorporating this strategic interdependence, our analysis significantly improves the prediction of which governments receive loans and from whom.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51439,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Political Economy","volume":"89 ","pages":"Article 102715"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144522844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
