    “Why would anyone leave?”: Development, overindebtedness, and migration in Guatemala
    Peer-reviewed publication
    November, 2021
    Guatemala

    Over the past two decades, policymakers have expressed considerable optimism about the capacity of international development to curb transnational migration, yet there is a dearth of research examining how and under what conditions development interventions impact migration decisions. Enlisting a case study approach in the Maya-K’iche’ community of Almolonga, this article examines divergent meanings and practices of “development” and its impact on the migratory aspirations and outcomes of Indigenous families in Guatemala.

Our focus is an application of the Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) methodology to assess key variables that affect the probability of good rangeland governance under contrasting contexts of land tenure in Southern Tunisia.

    Annual Report on Human Rights Defenders at Risk in 2017
    Reports & Research
    January, 2018
    Global

Yet, in spite of this violence, there are more HRDs, working on more issues, in more countries, than ever before.
