TY - JOUR A1 - Rohlfing, Ingo A1 - Bethke, Felix T1 - How do researchers choose their goals of inference? A survey experiment on the effects of the state of research and method preferences on the choice between research goals N2 - In empirical research, scholars can choose between an exploratory causes-of-effects analysis, a confirmatory effects-ofcauses approach, or a mechanism-of-effects analysis that can be either exploratory or confirmatory. Understanding the choice between the approaches is important for two reasons. First, the added value of each approach depends on how much is known about the phenomenon of interest at the time of the analysis. Second, because of the specializations of methods, there are benefits to a division of labor between researchers who have expertise in the application of a given method. In this preregistered study, we test two hypotheses that follow from these arguments. We theorize that exploratory research is chosen when little is known about a phenomenon and a confirmatory approach is taken when more knowledge is available. A complementary hypothesis is that quantitative researchers opt for confirmatory designs and qualitative researchers for exploration because of their academic socialization. We test the hypotheses with a survey experiment of more than 900 political scientists from the United States and Europe. The results indicate that the state of knowledge has a significant and sizeable effect on the choice of the approach. In contrast, the evidence about the effect of methods expertise is more ambivalent.

Gleichzeitig bestehen beim Thema Partizipation aber Forschungslücken, insbesondere mit Blick auf digitale Formen der Partizipation. Letztere stehen erst am Beginn ihres Einsatzes, während die digitalen Medien sowohl die Alltagswelt der Menschen als auch die Planungsverfahren immer stärker berühren. Diese Arbeit befasst sich deshalb mit Partizipationsprozessen zur Beteiligung von Bürgerinnen, Bürgern und anderen Akteuren/Interessensgruppen in kommunalen Projekten und damit, wie diese Partizipationsprozesse im Lichte von aktuellen, modernen Möglichkeiten digitaler Partizipation anwendungsorientiert gestaltet und sowohl in städtischen als auch ländlichen Räumen akteurs- und ergebnisorientiert analog und/oder digital umgesetzt werden können. Das methodische Vorgehen basiert auf einem vor allem qualitativ- und interaktiv-sozialwissenschaftlichen Methodenmix und erfolgt in drei Zyklen: (1) einer initialen Datensammlung mit Fokus auf einem kommunalen Partizipationsprojekt, (2) einer Datensammlung 2 mit einem Fokus auf minimalen Kontrast und Ähnlichkeiten weiterhin im Rahmen des Partizipationsprojekts sowie (3) einer Datensammlung 3 mit einem Fokus auf stärkeren Kontrast und Unterschiede hinsichtlich Aktivität, Alter oder Kultur der Akteure bzw. hinsichtlich des (eher) ländlichen bzw. städtischen Kontextes. Die verwendeten Erhebungsinstrumente (vor allem narrative und problemzentrierte Interviews, Befragungen, teilnehmende Beobachtungen, ein Schulprojekt und die Erhebung digitaler Partizipations- und Forschungsdaten) zeigen die Bedeutung der drei Aspekte Milieu, Akteure und Programm in der Planung, Gestaltung und Durchführung von Partizipationsprozessen. Anhand dieser drei Gesichtspunkte ergibt sich zudem die Antwort auf die zentrale Forschungsfrage dieser Arbeit, wie Partizipationsprozesse in kommunalen Projekten gestaltet werden können, um digitale Formate sowie lokal-regionale Kontexte zu berücksichtigen, und welche Aspekte dabei relevant sind: (1) das analoge Milieu der konkreten (eher) ländlichen bzw. städtischen Kommune sowie das in diesem sozialen und emotionalen Betroffenheits-Raum vorhandene oder von den Verantwortlichen anreichernd eingesetzte digitale Partizipations-Milieu bilden insgesamt den Raum und beeinflussen die Atmosphäre des Raums, innerhalb dem sich der Partizipationsprozess und die einzelnen -formate je nach Projektphase an ggf. unterschiedlichen Veranstaltungsorten als mikrogeographische Milieus in unterschiedlicher Art und Weise realisieren; (2) die sich in verschiedener Weise in den Partizipationsprozess einbringenden Akteure/Interessensgruppen und deren (je nach Ausmaß der tatsächlichen oder emotionalen Betroffenheit ausgeprägte) individuelle Motivation, beeinflussen die Erfordernisse an eine analoge und/oder digitale informative, dialogische und/oder diskursive Kommunikation sowie an eine auf Bildung, Begegnung, Kooperation und Verantwortung bauende analoge und/oder digitale Interaktion im konkreten Partizipationsprozess; (3) mit dem konkreten Programm des Partizipationsprozesses und den einzelnen analogen und/oder digitalen -formaten gestaltet sich ein (Partizipations-)Projekt in unterschiedlicher Ausprägung milieuorientiert (mit der Definition und Analyse des Partizipations-Raums als Kern der Milieuorientierung und der Standortsuche als zusätzlicher Aspekt bei standortbezogenen Projekten), akteursorientiert (auf den Umfang und den Grad der Einflussnahme-Möglichkeit der Akteure/Interessensgruppen von Nicht-Partizipation über Information und Mitsprache bis hin zu Zusammenarbeit und Mitbestimmung sowie Selbstbestimmung der Akteure blickend) sowie ergebnisorientiert (wirtschaftlich hinsichtlich Planung, Umsetzung, Entscheidung, Nachhaltung und Nachhaltigkeit). Die Bedeutung dieser Arbeit besteht zum einen darin, dass sie das theoretische und praktische Verständnis von Partizipationsprozessen erweitert, indem sie die Fokussierung auf gesellschaftliche Interaktionen in städtisch- und ländlich-digitalen Kontexten einführt, den es so bisher nicht gab, und damit auch die Action-Setting-Theorie von Peter Weichhart um digitale und regionale Anwendungsfelder erweitert. Die anwendungsorientierten Handlungsempfehlungen tragen zudem zur milieu-, akteurs- und programmsensiblen Umsetzung moderner Möglichkeiten analoger und/oder digitaler Partizipation bei. Schließlich eröffnet diese Arbeit Anknüpfungspunkte für künftige Forschungen – etwa in der Motivationspsychologie, der Kommunikations- und Politikwissenschaft, der Volkswirtschafts- oder der Betriebswirtschaftslehre sowie mit Blick auf andere räumliche Maßstäbe bis hin zu landes-, bundes- und europa-politischen (Partizipations-)Projekten. N2 - Great importance and great potential are ascribed to social inclusion and participation, for example by the European Commission and national authorities in funding programs, by the United Nations, in the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, or by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research in the High-Tech Strategy 2025. At the same time, however, there are research gaps on the subject of participation, particularly with regard to digital forms of participation. The latter are only just beginning to be used, while digital media are increasingly affecting both people's everyday lives and planning processes. This work therefore deals with processes for the participation of citizens and other actors/interest groups in municipal projects and how these participation processes can be designed in the light of current, modern possibilities of digital participation analogously and/or digitally and in an application-, actor- and result-oriented manner in both urban and rural areas. The methodological approach is based on a primarily qualitative and interactive social science method mix and takes place in three cycles: (1) an initial data collection with a focus on a municipal participation project, (2) a data collection 2 with a focus on minimal contrast and similarities, which continues in the participation project and (3) a data collection 3 with a focus on stronger contrast and differences in terms of activity, age or culture of the actors or in terms of the (rather) rural or urban context. The survey instruments used (mainly narrative and problem-centered interviews, surveys, participatory observations, a school project and the collection of digital participation- and research data) show the importance of the three aspects milieu, actors and program in the planning, design and implementation of participation processes. These three points of view also provide the answer to the central research question of this work, how participation processes in municipal projects can be designed to take digital formats and local-regional contexts into account, and which aspects are relevant: (1) the analogue milieu of the concrete (rather) rural or urban municipality as well as the digital participation milieu, that is present in this social and emotional area of concern or that is used to enrich it by those responsible, form the area as a whole and influence the atmosphere of the area, within which the participation process and the individual formats are realized in different ways at possibly different venues as microgeographical milieus depending on the project phase; (2) the actors/interest groups involved in the participation process in various ways and their individual motivation (depending on the extent of the actual or emotional impact) influence the requirements for analogue and/or digital informative, dialogical and/or discursive communication as well to an analogue and/or digital interaction based on education, encounter, cooperation and responsibility in the concrete process of participation; (3) with the specific program of the participation process and the individual analogue and/or digital formats, a (participation) project is formed milieu-oriented (with the definition and analysis of the participation space as the core of the milieu orientation and the search for a location as an additional aspect in site-related projects), actor-oriented (looking at the scope and degree of the actors/interest groups' ability to exert influence, from non-participation to information and participation to cooperation and co-determination as well as self-determination of the actors) and result-oriented (economically in terms of planning, implementation , decision, follow-up and sustainability) in various forms. The importance of this work is, on the one hand, that it expands the theoretical and practical understanding of participatory processes by introducing a focus on social interactions in urban- and rural-digital contexts that did not exist before. This also expands the Action-Setting-Theory by Peter Weichhart by including digital and regional fields of application. The application-oriented recommendations for action also contribute to the milieu-, actor- and program-sensitive implementation of modern opportunities for analogue and/or digital participation. Finally, this work opens up starting points for future research – for example in motivational psychology, communication and political science, economics or business administration, as well as with a view to other spatial scales, including state, federal and European political (participation) projects.

As a result of climate change and other, direct forms of anthropogenic interference, the magnitude and frequency of such floodings is predicted to continuously increase in the near future. Therefore, it is important to understand the vulnerability of affected people to implement appropriate measures. This research presents a case study on coastal flooding and its impact on livelihoods in the Volta Region of Ghana. The paper utilizes a vulnerability framework that focuses on exposure, susceptibility, as well as the capacities to anticipate, cope with, and recover from the effects of natural hazards. Based on a qualitative approach, the study focusses on those households who were directly affected of a severe tidal flood in November 2021, leading to a total destruction of their property. The research was conducted in March, July and August 2022. It revealed that the studied group had low capacity to anticipate and had no contingency plans in case of relocation. Further, we discovered different strategies that people applied to deal with the situation eight months after the flood event. Most households applied (short term) coping strategies to reestablish their former marine-based livelihood systems. Adaption in terms of long-term adjustment of their livelihoods played only a minor role and could be found in form of out-migration in a limited number of households.

Exhibition Audiences in Indonesia and Processes of Selection, Reception, and Appropriation Using the Example of the Exhibition "Raden Saleh and the Beginning of Modern Indonesian Painting" N2 - In der Dissertation «Ausstellungen und ihr Erfolg: (Kunst-)Geschichten befragen» wird ein Teilbereich der Bildungsforschung untersucht, nämlich die informelle Bildung im internationalen Kontext. Die Arbeit kombiniert eine ausführliche Analyse einer Ausstellung und deren Publikum und fokussiert sich dabei auf die Perspektive der Besucher*innen. Als Fallbeispiel dient die empirische Forschung zur kunsthistorischen Ausstellung «Raden Saleh und der Beginn der modernen indonesischen Malerei», die 2012 in der Nationalgalerie von Jakarta stattfand. Organisiert als kulturpolitisches Instrument vom Goethe-Institut Indonesien, stellte die Ausstellung eine bedeutende historische Persönlichkeit Indonesiens, Raden Saleh, in den Mittelpunkt. Besonders bemerkenswert war, dass seine Werke erstmals retrospektiv mit Originalgemälden in seiner Heimat gezeigt wurden. Die Ausstellung führte neue Narrative, neu Ausstellungs- und Vermittlungskonzepte ein und weckte großes Interesse beim Publikum, was zu einem außerordentlichen Erfolg führte. Basierend auf Konzepten der kritischen Museologie, (Kunst-)Soziologie und qualitativen Medienforschung untersucht die Arbeit die Ursachen und kurz- sowie langfristigen Effekte des Ausstellungserfolgs. Durch die Erforschung der bisher wenig beachteten Sphäre der Kunstdistribution und informellen Bildung in Indonesien leistet die Arbeit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Grundlagenforschung der Südostasienwissenschaften. Gleichzeitig adressiert sie verschiedene Desiderate in der Publikumsforschung und liefert Erkenntnisse für eine kritische Ausstellungspraxis auf internationaler Bühne. Unter der Berücksichtigung von vielfältigen Kontexten der Ausstellungsbesucher (Sozio-kulturell, physisch, persönlich) arbeitet die qualitative sowie quantitative Analyse die massgeblichen Erfolgsfaktoren der Ausstellung heraus. Die Besucherforschung zeigte, dass vor allem die urbane Mittelklasse die Ausstellung aufsuchte. Besucher_innen kamen in die Ausstellung mit Vorwissen zu Raden Saleh in Form von Legenden. Dieses Vorwissen verhandelten sie in der Ausstellung neu und passten es an ihre persönlichen Bedürfnisse an. Gleichzeitig generierte sich das Interesse aus bis dato fehlenden Ganzkörpererfahrungen mit historischen Zeitzeugnissen zu Raden Saleh. Der Ausstellungserfolg war nicht nur auf den richtigen Ort, sondern auf den gut gewählten Zeitpunkt zurückführen. Die stattfindenden Feierlichkeiten zu Raden Salehs Geburtstag im Rahmen einer Erinnerungspolitik und diverse stattfindende Diskurse der Kunstwelt fanden in der Ausstellung die richtige Plattform, um Narrative zu Kunst und Geschichte zu verhandeln. Die Analyse der Selektions- und Rezeptionspraktiken der Besuchwer_innen machten die wichtigsten Erfolgsfaktoren der Ausstellung deutlich: ihre Fähigkeit an die oben genannten Kontexte der Besucher_innen anzuknüpfen oder diese für sich zu nutzen. Die Arbeit schließt mit Ergebnissen aus der Aneignungs- und Wirkungsforschung und deren Bewertung ab. Diese zeigen deutlich, dass die Wahrnehmung von Raden Saleh heute maßgeblich durch die Ausstellung «Raden Saleh und der Beginn der modernen indonesischen Malerei» beeinflusst wurde und verdeutlicht damit die Bedeutung und Verantwortung der informellen Lernorte wie Ausstellungen – insbesondere in postkolonialen Kontexten. N2 - In the dissertation "Exhibitions and Their Success: Examining (Art) Narratives", a specific area of educational research is investigated, namely informal education in an international context. The study combines a comprehensive analysis of an exhibition and its audience, focusing on the perspective of the visitors. The empirical research centers on the art-historical exhibition "Raden Saleh and the Beginning of Modern Indonesian Painting," which took place in 2012 at the National Gallery of Jakarta. Organized as a cultural-political instrument by the Goethe-Institut Indonesia, the exhibition highlighted Raden Saleh, a significant historical figure in Indonesia. Notably, this was the first retrospective showcasing his original paintings in his homeland. The exhibition introduced new narratives, as well as innovative exhibition and educational concepts, which garnered substantial public interest, leading to its extraordinary success. Based on concepts from critical museology, (art) sociology, and qualitative media research, the dissertation examines the causes and both the short- and long-term effects of the exhibition's success. By exploring the hitherto under-researched sphere of art distribution and informal education in Indonesia, this work makes a significant contribution to foundational research in Southeast Asian studies. Simultaneously, it addresses various desiderata in audience research and provides insights for a critical exhibition practice on the international stage. Considering the diverse contexts of exhibition visitors (e.g. socio-cultural, physical, personal), the qualitative and quantitative analyses identify the key success factors of the exhibition. Visitor research indicated that the urban middle class predominantly attended the exhibition. Visitors approached the exhibition with pre-existing knowledge of Raden Saleh in the form of legends, which they reinterpreted and adapted to their personal needs. At the same time, their interest was generated by the previously unavailable holistic experiences with historical artifacts related to Raden Saleh. The success of the exhibition was attributed not only to the appropriate location but also to the well-chosen timing. The concurrent celebrations of Raden Saleh's birthday within the framework of commemorative politics and various ongoing art world discourses provided a suitable platform for negotiating narratives of art and history. The analysis of the selection and reception practices of the visitors highlighted the most critical success factors of the exhibition; for example, its ability to connect with or utilize the aforementioned contexts of the visitors. The dissertation concludes with findings from appropriation and impact research and their evaluation. These clearly demonstrate that the perception of Raden Saleh today has been significantly influenced by the exhibition "Raden Saleh and the Beginning of Modern Indonesian Painting", highlighting the importance and responsibility of informal learning sites like exhibitions – especially in postcolonial contexts.

Increased media literacy in the population is one way to counter these issues and their implications. This especially applies to the sub‐concept of journalism literacy, focusing on the ability to consume news critically and reflectively, thus enabling democratic participation. For media companies, promoting journalism literacy seems logical for economic and altruistic reasons. However, research on German initiatives is scarce. This article presents an explorative qualitative survey of experts from seven media companies offering journalistic media education projects in German schools, focusing on the initiatives’ content, structure, and motivation. Results show that initiatives primarily aim at students and teachers, offering mostly education on journalism (e.g., teaching material) and via journalism (e.g., journalistic co‐production with students). While these projects mainly provide information on the respective medium and journalistic practices, dealing with disinformation is also a central goal. Most initiatives are motivated both extrinsically (e.g., reaching new audiences) and intrinsically (e.g., democratic responsibility). Despite sometimes insufficient resources and reluctant teachers, media companies see many opportunities in their initiatives: Gaining trust and creating resilience against disinformation are just two examples within the larger goal of enabling young people to be informed and opinionated members of a democratic society.

By reviewing both the evolution of those distinctions over the previous decades and the ways in which they have been used in quantitative empirical research, we argue that the CED's evolution has been a partial success story, whereas discourse around the NPD has not seen substantial development. Despite lingering inconsistencies, researchers drawing on the CED have been successful in addressing different lines of critique and in using the CED as a heuristic for investigating notions of nationhood as expressed in public perceptions. In contrast, there has been only limited dialogue between theoretical and empirical approaches to the NPD. The article illustrates how research drawing on the NPD could profit from the CED's evolution. We close by providing a conceptual roadmap to guide the path towards more terminological clarity and to construct more theoretically robust measures for nationalism and patriotism. We specifically suggest that nationalism and patriotism should be consistently understood as ideal types that citizens can simultaneously hold to varying degrees.

A randomized controlled trial with Indonesian Facebook users JF - npj | Digital medicine N2 - Nudging individuals without obvious symptoms of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) to undergo a health screening remains a challenge, especially in middle-income countries, where NCD awareness is low but the incidence is high. We assess whether an awareness campaign implemented on Facebook can encourage individuals in Indonesia to undergo an online diabetes self-screening. We use Facebook’s advertisement function to randomly distribute graphical ads related to the risk and consequences of diabetes. Depending on their risk score, participants receive a recommendation to undergo a professional screening. We were able to reach almost 300,000 individuals in only three weeks. More than 1400 individuals completed the screening, inducing costs of about US$0.75 per person. The two ads labeled “diabetes consequences” and “shock” outperform all other ads. A follow-up survey shows that many high-risk respondents have scheduled a professional screening. A cost-effectiveness analysis suggests that our campaign can diagnose an additional person with diabetes for about US$9.

Without disregarding the undiminished significance of the idea of liberal democracy and its deep commitment to universal human rights, the necessity of a new accentuation of the concept of democracy is accepted in view of the observable democratic processes in non-Western societies. This should help to avoid both the blind spots of Eurocentrism and the misperception of countries as democracies that are merely masking their authoritarian or despotic character. The result is a theory of popular sovereignty that seeks to grasp and combine Western and non-Western conceptions of democracy in a balanced way and is based on a genealogical and comparative perspective of the history of political ideas in the global North and South. In a second step, the theory is then tested using a few selected examples (Confucian democracy, Islamic democracy, African democracy).

Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the study ran from 2022 to 2024. The general objective of the project is to analyse the multiple links between the rural areas of departure and urban reception of migrants as well as the impacts on the development of these localities. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods. The quantitative component consisted of two types of surveys. First, a household survey in the migrants' area of origin (AoO) to identify the migrants’ belonging to these households. In the second phase, a telephone survey was conducted among migrants in the destination areas (AoD). Then, the focus was on socio-economic data as well as translocal interactions and network relationships. The qualitative component consisted of in-depth interviews with key actors in the different areas of departure and destination of migrants. These include migrants, local administrative officials, leaders of NGOs, associations, community and religious leaders. The results show that migration is a phenomenon experienced by many households in rural areas. There are as many internal migrants as there are international migrants. Of the 537 households surveyed, 405 (75.4%) have at least one migrant. The age structure of migrants shows a predominantly young structure of migrants (82% who are under 40 years old). According to gender, migration is strongly male-dominated (82%). Men are more inclined to international migration (56%). Female migration is precocious. A large proportion of migrants (41%) have no level of education and are mostly single (50%). Translocality, conceptualized in this study as the multifaceted links between the places of departure, transit and residence of migrants, is apprehended through telephone contacts between migrants and their place of origin, in addition to the different forms of mobility: mobility of people, financial resources (remittances), material resources (transfers in kind), intangible resources (ideas, practices, etc.). Exchanges are often bidirectional. Telephone contacts represent 86% of migrants. Migrants visit the household in the area of origin more frequently (41.8%) than they receive household members at their destination (33.9%). More than 66.6% of migrants transfer remittances to their households in rural areas. With regard to the 4-level translocality intensity indicator (Wehner 2022), it can be concluded that over 50% of migrants are located at the two highest levels.

During our field stay in Amedzofe, a settlement in south-eastern Ghana, we gathered qualitative data in a transect walk with a local key informant and, building upon this, ten semi-structured interviews, alongside quantitative data collected through a questionnaire involving 94 households as part of the broader data collection within the MiTra|WA research project. By applying a simple propensity score matching approach, the study demonstrates that households with at least one migrant are 18 percentage points more likely to invest in housing for Amedzofe family members than non-migrant housholds. Notably, investments in aesthetically appealing housing are particularly significant. Our qualitative findings substantiate these observations, highlighting a strong inclination to showcase translocal interconnectedness and a lasting sense of belonging to Amedzofe. Housing investments also encapsulate the ingrained notion of migrants' eventual return to Amedzofe, especially for retirement, namely the "stone-made myth of return." Our study emphasizes the need for expanded research focus on translocal networks and the symbolic importance of housing in the Ghanaian context. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for addressing the implications of growing demands for living space, which may impact land distribution and require further investigation.

Ghana has established a people-centred reforestation programme known as the Modified Taunya System (MTS) where local people are assigned degraded forest reserves to practice agroforestry. Given that the MTS is a people-centred initiative, socioeconomic factors are likely to have impact on the reforestation drive. This study aims to understand the role of translocal practices of remittances and visits by migrants on the MTS. Using multi-sited, sequential explanatory mixed methods and the lens of socioecological systems, the study shows that social capital and socioeconomic obligations of cash remittances from, as well as visits by migrants to their communities of origin play positive roles on reforestation under the MTS. Specifically, translocal households have access to, and use remittances to engage relatively better in the MTS than households that do not receive remittances. This shows that translocal practices can have a positive impact on the environment at the area of origin of migrants where there are people-centred environmental policies in place.

In March 2023, a student field research field research project was conducted in Amedzofe as part of the international research project “Migration and Translocality in West Africa”, shedding light on various aspects of rural life through the lens of translocality. The field research aimed to address a wide range of topics related to rural livelihoods, focusing on migration and translocal aspects of everyday life. Six working groups embarked on a 10-day field research journey, employing mixed methods encompassing both quantitative and qualitative approaches. This extensive fieldwork followed a semester of intensive preparation, ensuring the thoroughness and depth of the study. The survey results were meticulously analysed and presented, providing valuable insights into the patterns, drivers and impacts of migration in the region. Additionally, the findings of the six working groups offered nuanced perspectives on various facets of rural life, including economic activities, social networks, cultural practices, education and gender aspects. This endeavour aims at fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding migration and translocality in rural Ghana. It is a testament to the dedication and vision of the late Prof. Dr. Malte Steinbrink, whose leadership and guidance were instrumental in the preparation and realisation of this study.

Stemming from my curiosity about this statement and what it meant for different actors in the regional organic agri-food networks, this research explores the interconnected lives and livelihoods of organic farmers and activists in Tamil Nadu. To engage with the social dynamics of these agri-food networks, the research focuses in on the role of the affective, feeling body. The emphasis on affect emerged in the form of memories, emotions and visceral experience, from empirical data collected between 2020 and 2022. And as the thesis demonstrates, affective dimensions, or what moves people, are important because, unlike economic, statistical or structural perspectives, they make visible the ways different actors feel socio-ecological change. Adopting the lens of Feminist Political Ecology and drawing on the fields of historical anthropology and feminist ethics, this thesis highlights: (1) the enduring nature of epistemic injustice within agri-food relations, (2) how social boundaries are built, maintained and remade through affective encounters, circumscribing what I call the ‘affective roots’ of socio-ecological change and (3) how ambiguous affective relations co-constitute organic agri-food networks, shaping anxious environmental subjectivities, that stem from socially mediated encounters with agro-chemicals, the market, the landscape and the other. Deepening our understanding of socio-ecological and agrarian change through empirical inquiry into how people feel matters, I argue, because it sheds light on injustices that are often concealed beneath the clouds of crisis.

A comparative case study in eastern and northern Ghana N2 - Academic studies and media reports have pointed to climate change as a dominant factor responsible for future mass migrations from and within the Global South. In response to the deterministic nature of their estimates and predictions, this research explores the link that migrants establish between the environmental changes they experience and migration as a climate adaptation strategy. Furthermore, the overlaps between the profile and migratory behavior of those who manifest a greater presence of climate change in their migratory processes and their counterparts are analysed to identify potential unique climate migration patterns and practices. The quantitative analysis of data gathered in the context of the Mitra|WA project in Ghana's Eastern and Northern Regions in 2022 reveals that, while migration is not predominantly propelled by climate change climate, it does not constitute a new form of mobility demarcated from existing migration patterns and practices. This paper provides an opportunity to redirect future research towards the factors that determine the agency of individuals in response to climate hazards and to explore the role of climate change in a set of drivers of migration in a West African setting.
