“…For example, the Commission did not elaborate on what it understood by resilience, making the concept malleable enough for actors to fit with their respective views (cf. Anholt, 2020). Moreover, the successful implementation of the CAP is very dependent on its implementation within the Member States, especially through the NSPs.…”

Reconstructing the framing of resilience in the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy post‐2020 reform

The concept of resilience has been increasingly adopted on the European Union's (EU) policy agenda as a principle for agro‐food policy‐making. However, resilience is an ambiguous concept, allowing for different understandings and uses in the context of agro‐food policy‐making. This study analyses whether and how resilience is framed and contributes to framing in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post‐2020 reform process by policymakers and stakeholders. Combining deductive and inductive coding, we analysed 123 policy documents of EU institutions and stakeholders related to the CAP post‐2020 reform debate and the associated Farm‐to‐Fork Strategy. Five distinct resilience frames were identified: (1) income resilience frame, (2) farmers’ supply chain position resilience frame, (3) climate change impact resilience frame, (4) disease resilience frame and (5) ecological resilience frame. Whereas the resilience concept has been deployed by various actors, they differ in their preferred policy actions towards greater resilience.

“…We employ a neorealist take on the international politics of migration management to confirm the expectations of this evolving research agenda on refugee diplomacy that identifies the centrality of domestic and geostrategic calculations shaping host states' policymaking (cf. Mencütek 2018 ;Anholt 2020 ;Müller-Funk, Fröhlich, and Bank 2020 ). We pay attention to the important component of repatriation in refugee rentseeking strategies, and we inductively argue that refugee rentier states may pursue either a backscratching or blackmailing approach in their foreign policymaking based on bargains or threats, respectively.…”

Which conditions affect whether a state will choose to repatriate forcibly displaced populations residing within its borders? One of the most pressing issues related to the protracted Syrian refugee situation concerns the future of over 5 million Syrians who sought shelter in neighboring states. With host countries pursuing disparate strategies on Syrians’ return, the existing literature has yet to provide a framework that is able to account for variation on host states’ policies toward refugee repatriation. In this paper, we expand upon the concept of the refugee rentier state to theorize inductively upon the conditions shaping states’ policymaking on repatriation. We draw upon multi-sited fieldwork across the three major refugee host states in the Eastern Mediterranean (Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey) to establish that a refugee rentier state's strategy is driven by domestic political economy costs related to the hosting of refugee populations as well as its geostrategic interests vis-à-vis these refugees’ country of origin. Using a comparative case study approach, we note how a state is more likely to pursue a blackmailing strategy based on threats if it faces high domestic political economy costs and adopts an interventionist policy vis-à-vis the sending state, as in the case of Turkey. Otherwise, it is more likely to pursue a backscratching strategy based on bargains, as in the case of Lebanon and Jordan. We conclude with a discussion on how this framework sheds light on refugee host states’ repatriation policies on a global scale.

The resilience of European farming systems is increasingly being put under pressure due to social, economic, and environmental challenges. These challenges make it difficult for farming systems to maintain delivering their public and private goods. Scholars and practitioners therefore call for strengthening farming systems' resilience through EU agricultural policy. However, research to understand the link between resilience and public policies has remained scarce. This dissertation aims to expand the scientific knowledge on how EU agricultural policies, especially the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), influence farming systems' resilience, consisting of three capacities: robustness, adaptability, and transformability. The central research question of this dissertation is: How does EU agricultural policy shape the resilience of European farming systems? The research in this dissertation was guided by four sub-questions: (1) how do policy goals and instruments of the CAP 2013 reform, and its implementation in the Netherlands, support or constrain the resilience of a Dutch farming system?; (2) how do actors at the farming-system level experience the influence of policies on the resilience of farming system cases in Flanders, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and the UK?; (3) how is the concept of resilience framed in the CAP post-2020 reform process and which policy actors and stakeholders deploy these frames?; and (4) what policy recommendations on how to improve the capability of the CAP to support the resilience of farming systems in the EU are preferred by stakeholders and policymakers? This dissertation concludes that EU agricultural policy, headed by the CAP, largely puts forth a one-sided way to strengthen resilience and, therefore, shapes the resilience of European farming systems with uneven and adverse effects. The policy is focused on ensuring that farming systems can bounce back to a familiar situation after short-term shocks by resorting to familiar and conventional policy interventions, which are often insufficient to support adaptability or
