The article explores the restorative nodal governance response to such polycentric problems by weaving together five related ideas originating from criminologist and regulatory scholar Clifford Shearing: nodal governance; regulatory culture as a storybook (rather than a rulebook); justice as a better future; networked discovery of Awareness, Motivation, and Pathways for transformation; and a green ethic of care to guide transformation. We use an imaginary of a river to learn from a confluence of these ideas. They involve nodes of local governance organized by front-line workers who restoried intertwined problems with an ethic of care. The challenge uncovered is that restorative microstrategies proved promising when steering powerless actors, but frayed when faced with factory owners. More aggressive strategies of nodal governance may bring forth more responsive escalation in order to confront privilege. Yet such strategies might be more creatively escalated as nodes of conversational regulation that reconfigure Shearing's five insights to transform landscapes of power. A coherence discovered inductively across these insights revolves around restorative nodal contestation of hegemony. Even lives as infused with domination as those found along the Kashaf River in Iran, where our case study is set, can be restored in counterhegemonic ways.","PeriodicalId":47050,"journal":{"name":"Law & Policy","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138512736","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}

Forsyth","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3439910","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3439910","url":null,"abstract":"Environmental collapse along the Kashaf River in Iran is about desertification, climate change and heavy metal pollution. The river concentrates a nest of intertwined crises about urban squatters, drugs, crime, public health, marginalization, state and city planning and threats to the legitimacy and survival of the state itself. Five Clifford Shearing ideas are woven into the theoretical fabric of the article: nodal governance; regulatory culture as a storybook (rather than a rulebook); justice as a better future; and AMP – networked discovery of Awareness, Motivation and Pathways for transformation; and a green ethic of care to guide transformation. These microdynamics arise in a Kashaf River imaginary that different societies might learn from. They involve nodes of local governance organized by front-line workers who restoried intertwined problems with an ethic of care. The challenge is that restorative micro-strategies proved promising when steering powerless actors, but frayed when faced with factory owners. More aggressive strategies of policycentric governance are needed for responsive escalation to confront privilege. Yet they too may be more creatively escalated nodes of conversational regulation. Multi-level response to a multi-level problem by multi-level governance is the topic of this paper. Ultimately, it grapples with what kinds of institutions of regulation are needed for multi-level responses to polycentric problems. It first documents a crisis of river pollution on the Kashaf River near Mashad, Iran and diagnoses the intersection of this with larger crises of regional water depletion and global warming. The river is drying up and suffering catastrophic heavy metal pollution (Sheikh et al. 2013). It proves not only an environmentally wicked problem, but socially and politically complex. The article proceeds by first narrating the unfolding layers of crisis. Then it catalogues different layers of regulatory failure across several decades. Finally some decisive moments of transformation of the regulatory storybook for the Kashaf River are considered. This transformation grows significantly from the nodal leadership of a 1 This paper is part of a Linkage project between the Environment Protection Authority (Victoria, Australia) and RegNet at the Australian National University that is funded by the Australian Research Council. 2 Kashafrood or Kashafrud is a river that flows from the Hezar Mountains in Razavi Khorasan Province in northeast of Iran. After passing near the cities of Radkanand Chenaran in Razavi Khorasan Province and then north and east to Mashhad, the Kashf River joins the Harirud River at the frontier of Iran and Turkmenistan. It flows for 240 km. Marshad is the main city on the river and Tus is another important urban centre on the river.

This article analyzes variation in prison admissions across U.S. counties to deepen our understanding of the contemporary geography of punishment. While research on punishment generally treats economic and political theories of punishment as distinct, we draw on recent studies of penal attitudes to develop a theoretical argument regarding their possible interconnection. We then use Hierarchical Linear Modeling to test the hypothesis that conservatism, race, and disadvantage are associated with the use of prison and that these factors help to explain why prison admission rates are higher in rural and suburban counties than in urban ones, despite notably higher crime rates in the latter. The results indicate that nonurban counties send more people to prison than urban counties and that socioeconomic disadvantage, the size of the Black population, and conservatism are significant predictors of prison admissions after controlling for crime-related problems. These findings suggest that poverty, race, and politics work in concert to shape the distribution of punishment across 21st century America.</p>","PeriodicalId":47050,"journal":{"name":"Law & Policy","volume":"43 1","pages":"5-29"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/lapo.12161","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48268540","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}
