The literature on climate migration is increasingly concerned with linking the natural-environmental and socio-cultural dimensions of risk response. However, the epistemological disjuncture between ...‘objective’ and subjective accounts of the environment is an impediment. In particular, despite clear evidence of mutual relevance, work on the emotional landscape of climate change has remained separate from more systematic analyses. Aiming to resolve this, this paper uses the case of a Cambodian beggar to show how recent developments across three fields have laid the groundwork for the structural and emotional dimensions of climate change response to be engaged with under a coherent theoretical rubric.

This article investigates how donation behavior to charitable organizations and helping intentions toward begging European Union (EU)-migrants are related. This question was tested by analyzing ...survey responses from 1,050 participants sampled from the general Swedish population. Although the overall results suggested that donations to charitable organizations were positively related to helping intentions toward beggars, the results differed substantially as a function of whether the organization was perceived to focus its efforts on outgroup victims or on ingroup victims. Specifically, whereas donation behavior toward outgroup-focused organizations clearly predicted more helping intentions toward beggars (also when controlling for demographics, education, income, religiosity, and political inclination), donation behavior toward ingroup-focused organizations predicted slightly less helping intentions toward beggars. We conclude that the type of charitable organization a person donates to might tell us more about his or her values and preferences than merely whether or not he or she donates at all.
One of the problems in Malang City is that there are still marginalized groups such as homeless people and beggars. Through the Desaku Menanti program initiated by the Ministry of Social Affairs and ...managed by the Malang City P3AP2KB Social Service, they are placed in Kampung Topeng to be empowered. This coaching has been going on for 4 years (starting from 2016 to 2020). However, in 2019 this area had no productive activities or an involution process occurred. This research uses a qualitative approach with ethnography. With the AGIL scheme (Adaptation, Goal-attainment, Integration, Latency) which is part of Talcott Parsons' Functional Structural Theory, this research produced several findings. Based on data collection about homeless people and beggars in Kampung Topeng. The findings of this study state that the form of empowerment involution is in the form of program unsustainability. The factors causing involution come from program implementation and target beneficiaries. From the program implementer's side, it is closely related to changes in the priority scale of the agency's program, changes in the head of the agency, limited resources, deterioration of collaboration, the issue of location far from the city center. Meanwhile, from the community side, the culture of poverty and non-standardized quality. Involusi Pemberdayaan Masyarakat dalam Penguatan Ekonomi Rumah Tangga Gelandangan dan Pengemis di Kampung Topeng, Kota Malang Salah satu permasalahan di Kota Malang adalah masih terdapat kelompok marginal seperti gelandangan dan pengemis. Melalui program Desaku Menanti yang digagas oleh Kementerian Sosial dan dikelola oleh Dinas Sosial P3AP2KB Kota Malang mereka ditempatkan di Kampung Topeng untuk diberdayakan. Pembinaan ini sudah berlangsung selama 4 tahun (mulai dari tahun 2016 sampai 2020). Namun pada 2019 kawasan ini tidak ada aktivitas yang produktif atau terjadi proses involusi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis etnografi. Dengan skema AGIL (Adaptation, Goal-attainment, Integration, Latency) yang merupakan bagian dari Teori Struktural Fungsional milik Talcott Parsons penelitian ini menghasilkan beberapa temuan. Berdasarkan pengumpulan data mengenai gelandangan dan pengemis yang ada di Kampung Topeng. Temuan-temuan penelitian ini menyatakan bentuk involusi pemberdayaan berupa ketidakberlanjutan program. Faktor-faktor penyebab involusi berasal dari pelaksanaan program dan warga binaan sasaran. Dari sisi pelaksana program terkait erat dengan perubahan skala prioritas program dinas, pergantian kepala dinas, keterbatasan sumber daya, kemerosotan kolaborasi persoalan lokasi yang jauh dari pusat kota.

The paper employs the spatial econometric method and in the Yangtze River Delta, constructs unique spatial matrices to analyze the effect of environmental regulation on haze pollution. The effect of ...formal and informal environmental regulation is also differentiated. The contributions of this paper are: (1) Research perspective: it compares the effects of informal and formal environmental regulations, stresses the effect of environmental regulation on haze pollution, and identifies the specific mechanisms involved; (2) in terms of methodologies, the study employs a spatial self-lag model and constructs an asymmetric logistics matrix; (3) the study investigates the micro-mechanism involved, to reveal the intermediate action of technological innovation and industrial structure; (4) it is shown that the results are robust after using the instrumental variable (promotion pressure of government officials) for environmental regulation. The policy implications are: Environmental regulation in the Yangtze River Delta region still needs to make a trade-off between economic development and environmental pollution, but the good news is that the convergence of environmental regulation can help promote environmental improvement, and the rigorization of environmental regulation can help optimize industrial structure, and talent cultivation is conducive to the formation and strengthening of the neighbor-companion effect of environmental regulation.
•Employ spatial econometrics to explore environmental regulation and haze pollution.•Find relations between environmental regulation and haze pollution is “inverted-U”.•Haze pollution in the Yangtze River Delta represents a neighbor beggar mode.•Environmental regulation and haze pollution also show neighbor-companion mode.•Different environmental regulations have different mechanisms on haze pollution.
: Much of the discussion surrounding neoliberal urbanism has been empirically grounded in the North. This paper shifts the discussion south to focus on the regulation of indigenous street vendors ...and beggars in the Andean nation of Ecuador. Inspired by zero tolerance policies from the North, the cities of Quito and Guayaquil have recently initiated urban regeneration projects to cleanse the streets of informal workers, beggars, and street children. In this paper, I explore the particular and pernicious ways in which these neoliberal urban policies affect indigenous peoples in the urban informal sector. Grounded in the literature on space, race and ethnicity in the Andes, I argue that Ecuador's particular twist on revanchism is through its more transparent engagement with the project of blanqueamiento or “whitening”. I further argue that Ecuador's “refinement” of revanchist urban policies only works to displace already marginalised individuals and push them into more difficult circumstances.
In this article I argue that disabled people in the United Kingdom have been tipped into an abyss of counterfeit citizenship. They have been smeared as 'false mendicants' - an old trick well ...documented in the historical archives of ableism. Neoliberalism has used this repertoire of invalidation - its noxious taint of cunning and fraud - as the 'moral justification' for welfare reform and for the pillory and notoriety into which the entire disabled community has been placed. Austerity - through the neoliberal politics of resentment - has made disabled people its scapegoat. I argue that a historical precedent for the contemporary demonisation of disabled people as counterfeit citizens can be found in the early modern period in the mythology of the 'sturdy beggar'.
This paper examines an aspect of the functioning of the organization of Vilnius’ beggars that has not yet been sufficiently covered in the historiography: the role of the clergy of St. John’s Church ...in the life of the city’s beggars. This text focuses on the relationship between the clergy and the beggars during the 18th century. By using the personal documents of bishops, registers of the masses held in the church, and sources written by the beggars themselves or related to the aforementioned organization, it is shown that the clergy of Vilnius’ parish church not only took care of the spiritual needs of the beggars, but also looked after the finances of the organization and actively participated in its internal life, with their influence on the beggars manifesting itself in their personal relations with beggars beyond the scope of the organization.
Public characterisations of begging tend in two directions: destitution or fraud. On the one hand begging is portrayed as largely disorganised, and on the other, criminally organised. Based on rare ...ethnographic research with people who beg and live on a pavement in Dhaka, Bangladesh, this article confronts such understandings, arguing that those who beg often conceive of the act as work, and relationships in such context can mirror those found among labour. Here beggars employ assistants, and associations emerge from beggars themselves, playing diverse roles, including the provision of savings and credit. While such hierarchies are largely neglected in the literature, sparse historical cases, particularly from Asia, suggest similar arrangements may be more common than recognised. This article thus builds towards a broader agenda concerning the hierarchies and associational lives of people who beg.
