We investigate linkages between stakeholders in resource management that occur at different spatial and institutional levels and identify the winners and losers in such interactions. So-called cross-scale interactions emerge because of the benefits to individual stakeholder groups in undertaking them or the high costs of not undertaking them. Hence there are uneven gains from cross-scale interactions that are themselves an integral part of social-ecological system governance. The political economy framework outlined here suggests that the determinants of the emergence of cross-scale interactions are the exercise of relative power between stakeholders and their costs of accessing and creating linkages. Cross-scale interactions by powerful stakeholders have...

Commercial producers, brokers, exporters and spinners dominate the wool supply chain in South Africa.  Until recently smallholder farmers in the Transkei region had limited access to a profitable market outlet for their wool.  In response, the South African wool industry has taken the initiative to help local farmers by building shearing sheds, under which the local association can bulk the wool and trade directly with the brokers.  More direct access to the wool brokers is a prerequisite for the farmer to develop a viable business.  This article investigates on the effect of membership in the local shearing shed association on the farmers' revenue.  A two-step regression model of the gross margin is used to analyse whether farmers selling through the...

In or Out: Efficient inclusion of installations in an Emissions Trading Scheme?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Betz,   Regina; Sanderson,   Todd; Ancev,   Tihomir.
Regulators around the world are currently considering national emissions trading systems (ETS) as a cost-effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ETS installations coverage is one of the numerous design issues confronting them. ‘Blanket coverage’ that includes all an economy’s industrial emitters of greenhouse gases has some intuitive appeal. Although it seems equitable it does not, however, take into full account all the costs related to the extent of coverage.   This report shows how an alternative approach of ‘efficient coverage’ can achieve the same emission reduction outcome at lower social cost. The approach is based on maximising the benefits of including installations in an ETS, while at the same time taking into account all relevant...
