The complexity of synergies and trade-offs that are inherent to SDG interactions increases the risk that governments cherry-pick the SDGs that align with current policy interests and priorities, while neglecting others. No development actor can single-handedly ensure the integrated implementation of sustainable development’s economic, environmental and social dimensions. To advance integrated development processes, we therefore seek to answer the following question: what governance mechanisms enable development actors, located in different sectors, in different jurisdictions and at different governance levels, to align their efforts? Drawing on public governance and international development literature we identify ten alignment mechanisms that can be used to create inter-departmental alignment, public–private alignment, donor-recipient alignment and inter-donor alignment. To understand how the different mechanisms manifest themselves in practice, we illustrate how they are used to create synergies and negotiate trade-offs in forest and landscape restoration governance in Ethiopia. Through 20 interviews with public and private actors in Ethiopia, we observe a movement toward more integrated forest and landscape restoration efforts, but also that important mechanisms to create synergies and negotiate trade-offs between different objectives are still missing or do not function as intended. In the discussion and conclusion, we provide insights on how the ten mechanisms can contribute to greater multi-actor alignment at different stages of the policy cycle.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48463,"journal":{"name":"World Development","volume":"182 ","pages":"Article 106721"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305750X24001918/pdfft?md5=7c70b4240ef739458ae3d623ae802b20&pid=1-s2.0-S0305750X24001918-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141882345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We estimate structural vector autoregressions and local projections for 16 Latin American countries over the period from 1990 to 2019 and investigate if we can attribute increases in public spending on health, education, and social protection to increases in a country’s net commodity terms-of-trade. By focusing on the impulse responses derived from country-specific estimations, we find a huge variety in response patterns. Our study finds that two countries experienced lasting increases in public social spending due to the commodity boom (Argentina, Ecuador). Some others observed at least temporary increases of few years (Brazil, Mexico), reacted first with declines and then rises (Chile), and yet others did not respond at all (Bolivia, Colombia, Peru). As expected, we cannot relate public social spending with commodity prices in countries without commodity price boom. Among countries with positive responses, there is no clear tendency concerning the function of spending that benefits most. We discuss potential explanations behind the heterogeneity of our country-wise results and conclude that the presence of left-wing governments, fiscal rules, natural resource funds and economic diversification provide plausible explanations for single country cases, but no general patterns emerge. We conclude that the commodity price boom was neither necessary nor sufficient for social policy expansion in Latin America, and factors explaining its effects differ from country to country. Our study highlights the importance of in-depth examinations of country-specific factors and the need of (currently lacking) high-quality time series data in development research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48463,"journal":{"name":"World Development","volume":"182 ","pages":"Article 106717"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305750X24001876/pdfft?md5=4417493706a6d6fa6b9c836f947101d9&pid=1-s2.0-S0305750X24001876-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141882347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This question is analysed with qualitative data collected through group discussions and in-depth interviews with randomly selected households in northern rural Bangladesh, where temporary migration is widely observed. The data reveal that temporary migration is common especially among poor agriculture-dependent households with farm labour and family demographic constraints that prevent longer-term migration. Many temporary migrants prefer rural over urban destinations, influenced by their limited skills, social networks, negative perceptions of cities, and the comparative income-cost ratios between destinations.

We will focus on those displaced villagers who have been resettled in New Sehnri Dars village and those who have lost land in Bhawa Jo Tar village, taking an ethnographic approach. Large scale development induced displacement and resettlement (DiDR) has occurred in Pakistan, but it has been subject to limited scholarship. Individuals being displaced by large scale infrastructure projects, referred by some as ‘development refugees,’ face material losses leading to impoverishment. The paper here focuses on the recovery and reconstruction of the displaced population and how they have been rebuilding their livelihoods and communities after getting forcibly relocated, beginning from 2017 onwards. We argue that some aspects of DiDR may contribute to positive outcomes resulting in accumulation of sociocultural and educational capital for the traditionally marginalized groups. The displacement literature from the Global South, focuses on forms of coercive control, administered by institutional structures that generated and normalised state led bureaucratic violence, leading to the disempowering of those displaced by infrastructural development. The voices from Senhri Dars and Bhawa Jo Tar in Pakistan give us a different picture of the relationship between infrastructural development and displacement, showing how—quite counter-intuitively—a situation defined by force and coercion can become in a limited way a process that enables agency and empowerment. This paper will provide fresh insight into DiDR in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, a region that has had very limited scholarship on this issue.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48463,"journal":{"name":"World Development","volume":"182 ","pages":"Article 106624"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141607758","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}

We apply simple descriptive statistics, binary and multinomial logistic regression models to derive reasonable inferences.

However, between 2011–12 and 2023–24, their participation has increased which can be attributed to increase in their participation in unpaid family labour and own account works. The study deduces that landholding size determines their participation in the labour market, and quality of occupations. Larger landholding size is an enabling factor which enhances the propensity of Adivasi women to take up better-paid occupations, while lower landholding size increases the risk of taking up either employment in precarious occupations or unpaid domestic duties. The findings reinforce the argument that landholdings play a crucial role among Adivasis in maintaining the relative egalitarian values in their society.

Existing studies of migration and development have arrived at numerous insights into how transnational migrants act as agents of development in remittance-receiving regions. They have less often asked the related question; namely, how migrants’ ability to enact such roles is constrained or enabled by internal migration within these regions. This article demonstrates that processes of internal displacement and residential segregation within a remittance-receiving region influence where transnational migrants can direct their resources. It investigates how the development activities of transnational migrants (including household remittances, real estate investments, and philanthropic donations) are emplaced, and how emplacements and their meanings change over time. The analysis is based on multi-sited ethnographic research in a remittance-receiving region of India, a country that has been described as the largest recipient of remittances in the world, and with overseas Indians in the UK and the USA. While the overseas members of regionally powerful Hindu groups are relatively well-positioned to cultivate a role as agents of development in their villages of origin in Gujarat, the overseas Gujarati Muslims whose relatives left or lost power in their villages have been challenged to redirect their development activities to another location in the region. Drawing recent theorizations of home in relation with critical discussions of migration and development, the article views migrants’ development activities as homemaking; as emplaced efforts to cultivate relatedness and belonging.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48463,"journal":{"name":"World Development","volume":"182 ","pages":"Article 106694"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305750X24001645/pdfft?md5=11b5b16836c0a8323a82af4df71ebac7&pid=1-s2.0-S0305750X24001645-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141596850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
