AbstractDespite the existence of a rich literature on Chinese partial household division, there is still limited evidence of its effect on land and capital accumulation and well‐being. In this study, contrary to the dominant view, we find that household property size peaked around 1800s–1830s, suggesting that equal‐share system did not necessarily lead to land fragmentation. We find evidence that this rise in farm sizes is related to the opposing forces of increased well‐being and increased inequality.

Il s'agit dans cette contribution de porter l'attention sur le statut de l'historien et de l'histoire dans une Algérie post-indépendance tiraillée entre la force symbolique et politique du passé immédiat (celui Guerre de libération nationale) et l'émergence de nouveaux acteurs mémoriels. Cette articulation est analysée à l'aune de la narration officielle de l'histoire (le roman national), des tentatives de fragmentation du roman national (la « tragédie nationale » des années 1990), et enfin, de l'émergence du mouvement citoyen du 22 février 2019 (le Hirak).

This chapter looks at the implementation of interna- tional protection policies (especially asylum procedures and refugee protec- tion) in the EU as well as in non-EU countries and underline four findings that are evident across country cases: 1) a highly restrictive and complex legal framework; 2) the proliferation and fragmentation of forms of protec- tion and asylum procedures; 3) the ambiguous role of multiple actors; and 4) the failure of the hotspot approach and the Dublin Regulation.

Understanding the dynamics of species interactions under the threats of habitat loss and fragmentation can be key to develop measures preventing further degradation of natural and agricultural systems. Agroecological knowledge and state of the art technologies can help to conciliate the often-discrepant objectives of biodiversity conservation and agricultural production. Specifically, information on the characteristics of plant-pollinator networks in agroecosystems can unveil the most efficient strategies to preserve ecosystem functionality and pollination services provision. In chapter 1, ...

Carolin Anthes investigates how and why the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) struggles with systematically integrating a right to food approach in its operations. She analyzes multi-dimensional institutional roadblocks that prevent human rights from being fully mainstreamed. These barriers are shaped by a powerful state of fragmentation and disconnection: a silo culture. The book also offers valuable insights which go beyond the FAO and suggests a fairly unconventional avenue for systemic organizational change in (international) public administrations.

Globalization challenges the state-centric realist view of space and authority within International Relations. Using multifaceted concepts of territoriality and non-territoriality, this article goes into three versions of current territorial fragmentation or connectivity – deterritorialization, extraterritorialization and reterritorialization. They are to enable us to reveal the proliferation of globally relevant social and power dynamics above, below and within the state domain. At the same time, they are to illuminate the ambivalent role of states played in an era of global interconnectedness.

The main theme that I address in this paper is the boycott as a form of political solidarity. Recalling one of the primary objectives of Black and Third World feminist activists and scholars, I explore how BDS is one of the primary ways of building solidarity with Palestinians living under occupation. The logic of BDS is that of a unified, anti-racist and anti-colonial politics, which counters the logic of the Oslo Accords, one of fragmentation along multiple axes.

The Oslo Accords have failed. The fragmentation of the West Bank and the absorption of East Jerusalem by Israel have rendered the classic two-state solution impossible. To get out of this rut, a new solution must be envisioned, one of confederal states and porous borders. Such a solution has no chance of achieving peace unless the strong party, Israel, accepts that if the status quo is maintained the Zionist project will come to nothing.

Рассмотрено современное состояние правовой базы в сфере регулирования ландшафтов в Украине. Теоретическая и практическая разработка правового режима ландшафтов в Украине и Европейском Союзе должны сформировать новое направление развития экологического права ; The current state of the legal framework in the field of landscape management is characterized by fragmentation and the lack of a systematic approach. Theoretical and practical development of the legal regime of of landscapes in Ukraine and the European Union form а new direction of development in environmental law.

This article proposes a productive connection between the Marxian analysis of the structures of capitalism and the analytic attentiveness to the heterogeneity and instability of power relations and identities proposed by Judith Butler and Michel Foucault. Focusing on the question of gender relations it argues that social theory and critique face the challenge of taking simultaneously into account the totality of the capitalist mode of production and the fragmentation and complex situatedness of power relations and individual existences.

Why has China developed a huge automotive market without building up autonomous technological capability? While comparing China with South Korea's experience, we argue that this phenomenon has to be understood in the context of a misleading and ineffective policy regime and a fragmented political structure, which in turn are associated with a disincentive market environment (sizable but unsophisticated demand) and China's ongoing systemic restructuring that has so far been oriented toward management fragmentation. Keywords: China versus Korea; automotive industry; technological capability

The variables explaining party system fragmentation have been investigated extensively, but little is known about changes in the number of parties over time within countries. This article is an attempt to fill the gap by explaining the entry of new viable competitors in party systems after the founding election. Using empirical evidence from Spain, we show that when there is an electoral market failure and a high number of perfectly elastic voters, there is a high probability of new viable entrants.
