Drawing on a mixed-methods comparative design that combines document analysis of 148 policy and curricular texts, semi-structured interviews with 72 educators and community organizers and a purpose-built Knowledge Flow Intensity Index (KFII), the study traces the lateral pathways through which pedagogical strategies, curricular content and grassroots adaptation practices travel across these settings. The literature review was conducted through systematic searching of Web of Science, Scopus, ERIC and Google Scholar using multilingual search terms in English, Portuguese and Mandarin, supplemented by city-to-city cooperation studies and critical education research. The findings show that South–South knowledge circulation is mediated by diverse lines of pedagogical translation, policy adaptation and cultural contextualization, informed by local institutional legacies and community epistemologies. Shanghai demonstrates the strongest institutional scaffolding, São Paulo the deepest participatory pedagogy grounded in the Freirean tradition, and Mumbai foregrounds indigenous ecological knowledge. Differentiated circulation is proposed as a theoretical framework that reflects the multi-directional, domain-specific and transformative nature of lateral knowledge flows, extending prior circulation theory by specifying the mechanisms of transformation and providing a replicable quantitative instrument for their measurement. Implications for South–South educational cooperation, urban climate resilience policy and the epistemic politics of adaptation knowledge are discussed.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 6","pages":"1027-1044"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148667446","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}

In dairying systems, herd health management is among such strategies. Although adoption patterns and productivity gains have been analysed in previous studies, the social implications are still not well understood. This paper provides insights into the relationship between herd health management and intrahousehold labour demand as well as women's empowerment. We test the hypotheses that the adoption of herd health management practices increases intrahousehold labour demand among male and female household members and, thereby, affects women's empowerment. We use primary data from smallholder dairy farmers in Kenya on time use, women's participation in decision-making and livestock asset ownership, adoption status of important herd health management practices and household demographic characteristics. We apply censored regression and multinomial logit regression models to test our hypotheses. The results show that adopting herd health management practices is associated with more labour demand in dairy production for both men and women. The magnitude of the change differs across production systems but is always higher for men. Additionally, herd health management practices are negatively associated with different aspects of women's empowerment including women's livestock asset ownership and control over income from dairy. The study underscores the importance for gender sensitivity in the sustainable intensification of livestock production in the Global South.</p>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 6","pages":"933-945"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jid.70099","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148667493","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}

We fit a Heckman model for the decision to offer financial support (remit), recognising that the mechanisms associated with offering support may differ from the determinants of support value. Results indicate that Black graduates are more likely to remit than other Black individuals and remit higher amounts conditional on remitting.

This paper examined the determinants and predictive drivers of household food insecurity using nationally representative data from the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) Data in Emergencies Monitoring (DIEM) surveys collected in 2023, covering 2771 rural households. The analysis integrated machine learning techniques with logistic regression to capture both predictive performance and interpretability, guided by the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework. The results showed that ensemble machine learning models achieved strong predictive accuracy, with the up-sampled logistic regression model performing competitively (AUC = 0.758), confirming its suitability as a benchmark. Explainable machine learning and regression estimates consistently identified education, income, household size, agricultural participation and exposure to shocks as key determinants of food insecurity. In particular, participation in agriculture reduced the likelihood of food insecurity, while higher food prices, health-related shocks and reliance on adverse coping strategies significantly increased vulnerability. Geographic disparities were also evident, with households in regions such as Bolívar, Cesar and La Guajira facing substantially higher risks. The findings demonstrated that food insecurity reflects the interaction of structural, livelihood and shock-related factors rather than isolated effects. Integrating predictive modelling with a livelihood-based framework improved the identification of high-risk households and strengthened the evidence base for targeted, timely and context-specific policy interventions to reduce food insecurity in rural Colombia.</p>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 5","pages":"827-840"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jid.70092","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148395184","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}

Previous findings on the relationship between interethnic marriages and violent conflicts in rural areas are mixed. On the one hand, contacts resulting from interethnic marriages can build closer ties among ethnic groups. On the other hand, inter-group competition resulting from closer interaction may breed friction, especially in communities with a history of deep inequalities and injustices. At the centre of this dialectical relation lies the question of the mitigating effect of interethnic border markets. We use randomised perception survey data to compare the rate of interethnic marriages among the Luo, Abakuria and Maasai and measure the prevalence of cattle rustling and its related violence, notably killings, within the three ethnic cleavages (i.e., Luo—Abakuria, Abakuria—Maasai, Maasai—Luo). The survey is complimented with qualitative data. Results show that the overall interethnic marriage rate is 1.9 out of 3, indicating that interethnic marriage is relatively common, albeit constricted.

This study argues that donors' political economy ideologies entail different conceptions of democracy, leading to distinct theories of democratization and, consequently, democracy promotion approaches. These ideological underpinnings shape the priority, organization and staff of national aid bureaucracies, which in turn influences patterns of democracy aid allocation. To test the hypothesis, this article employs a country-year fixed effect regression model using data from the OECD Credit Reporting System (CRS) dataset. This dataset contains detailed information on all democracy aid projects delivered by the 23 DAC donors in 156 recipient countries from 1990 to 2021.

Caste endogamy contributes to the unequal transfer of social capital and social endowments, thereby reproducing inequalities within and across generations. In this background, the study examined the question of whether intercaste marriages contribute to reducing economic inequality in children's nutrition. We triangulated analyses based on pooled microdata and macro-panel data compiled from the National Family Health Survey and other Government surveys (2005–2021). The Wagstaff's corrected concentration index, panel data random effects regression models and pooled cross-sectional Probit regression model have been used. Findings suggest the continued prevalence of caste-based assortative sorting in the Indian marriage market and wealth-based inequalities in child nutritional status, thereby indicating both strong caste endogamy and health inequalities. However, an increase in intercaste marriage is associated with declining inequalities in the child nutrition indicators: stunting, wasting and underweight. The pathway is established through the reduced economic heterogeneity in populations owing to intercaste marital arrangements and a greater possibility of exchange of resources. Thus, we advance that intercaste marriages lessen caste inequalities in child nutrition in India by narrowing group differences in socio-economic status.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 5","pages":"905-931"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148395158","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}
