This study moves beyond the technical dimensions of circularity to explore its political determinants. While a limited number of studies have examined institutional quality indicators, a significant gap remains in the political and institutional dimensions of the circular economy. This study is the first to investigate the impact of association and organization rights (AOR) on circular economy development. Covering 30 European countries from June 2000 to 2022, the analysis examines whether AOR facilitates the transition to a circular economy. Additionally, the study accounts for key socio-economic factors, including income level, inequality, population density and trade openness. The findings indicate that AOR positively influences the circular economy transition. Moreover, income level, population density and trade openness exhibit positive effects, whereas inequality has a negative impact. Robustness checks using an alternative AOR measure confirm these results. The findings highlight the importance of political freedoms in fostering circularity and suggest that enhancing AOR could create a win–win opportunity for achieving sustainability goals, particularly in Europe and globally.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 1","pages":"112-124"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145987063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on 8 years of fieldwork (2015–2023), it develops a typology distinguishing market-embedded firms from global production network (GPN)-integrated firms, linking firm characteristics to host-country institutional and policy contexts. This relational–institutional approach addresses limitations in conventional FDI frameworks that overlook variation within similar ownership categories and the influence of local institutional environments. The analysis shows how firm strategies, ownership structures and integration into global or local markets interact with sectoral conditions and industrial policies to shape divergent investment trajectories. Ethiopia's structured, export-oriented strategy has attracted GPN-integrated light manufacturers, while Angola's post-war, market-driven environment has favoured domestically oriented and diaspora-led ‘translocal’ enterprises. By integrating firm-level diversity with host-country contexts, the article contributes to debates in FDI, GPN and Global China scholarship, offering insights for targeted industrial policies that maximise developmental outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 1","pages":"174-191"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jid.70038","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145970023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results reveal a stable long-term equilibrium relationship between cotton yields and key macroeconomic, institutional and climatic variables. Agricultural input subsidies have a strong positive effect, confirming the vital role of public support in sustaining productivity. Agricultural GDP growth also positively influences yields, likely through improved rural infrastructure and services. Rainfall has a moderate but significant effect, though it is subject to climatic variability. Interestingly, the FCFA/USD exchange rate shows a strong positive association with yields, potentially reflecting gains in export competitiveness and public support adjustments. World cotton prices exert mixed effects, while state-guaranteed prices show limited influence, suggesting that producer responses are shaped more by structural and environmental factors than domestic price signals. Overall, the findings underscore the importance of targeted subsidies, macroeconomic stability and climate resilience for enhancing cotton productivity in Mali.

With this in mind, we investigate this phenomenon using unique cross-border data for 28 years (1991–2018), where coffee is represented in its various formats, from unprocessed ‘green’ coffee beans to the roasted and soluble products. In so doing, we derive a measure of functional upgrading. Analogously, we report the extent to which countries upgrade their coffee production, adding value to their raw coffee exports (product upgrading). Our data reveal that many coffee cultivating countries are unable to capitalize on the boom in roasted coffee exports—losing out on the upswing in high-end consumption. Conversely, we find that Asian countries are more likely to climb the coffee GVC, while many African countries remain exporting green coffee. Interestingly, coffee cultivating countries with higher levels of industrialization and reduced distance to processing hubs, all things equal, are associated with higher value added. The coffee variety cultivated also plays a crucial role as does the trade policy pursued.</p>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 1","pages":"88-111"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jid.70033","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145969974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While these projects offer numerous benefits, they also raise significant socioeconomic challenges for the local communities. This study investigates the impact of infrastructure development on sustainable livelihoods within the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project framework. The research examines the factors that influence the income and livelihoods of the local population potentially affected by the project. Utilizing primary data and a generalized least squares (GLS) model, the study quantifies these factors' impact on the affected population's income and living standards. The analysis reveals several significant socioeconomic and geographical influences on local living standards. These factors include pre-existing income levels, educational attainment, household size, proximity to development projects and technological awareness. Notably, geographical proximity to infrastructure projects plays a key role, with income levels and living standards decreasing as the distance from projects (road infrastructure, economic zones and energy projects) increases. Conversely, living standards improve with higher educational attainment (both for individuals and family members) and greater experience. Interestingly, technological awareness also emerges as a significant factor. Individuals who are comfortable using social media and mobile phones and have experience in information technology have seen marked increases in their income levels. Based on these findings, the study recommends continued investment in infrastructure projects alongside targeted initiatives. These initiatives should include educational programs that focus on relevant skills and provide affordable access to technology, complemented by programs that promote digital literacy and awareness.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 1","pages":"24-32"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145986892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
