Description: The Legitimacy and Effectiveness of Tradition-Based Approaches of Justice in Transitional Justice – Case of Northern Uganda. The study seeks to identify the place of indigenous practices of justice and reconciliation in the bigger transitional justice framework. Traditional approaches however are not presented as a panacea for overcoming war, securing peace and bringing justice once and for all. Rather their effectiveness is taken to be dependant on a specific set of preconditions that by no means apply in every case and a combination of traditional and modern/western state-based practices of justice are taken to be essential.BENEDICTIS Geovanna Personal Information

Title: New Forms of Land Grabbing and Competing International, National and Local Claims over Access to Land. Local Livelihoods, International Interests and the Agro-ecological Crisis.•
Description: This research addresses political arenas around new forms of land grabbing in the context of the worldwide environmental and food crisis. We scrutinize the mechanisms that erode the de facto and/or de jure property/use rights of local actors under the influence of powerful outside actors in increasingly fierce competition over natural resour- ces. We use several perspectives (law and develop- ment, institutional economics) to comprehend theestablishment of real rights and identify the different political arenas that are called upon to establish these power-ridden processes of property rights practices in order to design policies to level the playing field in those arenas in favor of actors whose rights are excessively violated.

Title: Organic and Fair Trade Global Value Chains in Mali. Towards the New Forms of Small Produ- cers Inclusion in Global Economy.•
Description: The agricultural and food-processing activities, in the North as in the South, are at presently confronted with a profound reorganization of their institutional and economic environment. This recombining creates a risk of inequalities and exclusion generation for certain actors particularly for the small producers upstream in global value chains. Also, one attends the emergence of alternate agricultural value chains as organic and fair trade products accompanied by specific quality standards and supported by new institutions for a more durable and fair commercial system. In Mali, the organics and fairtrade products value chains development focused on export crops among which the cotton and the sesame but also products of pickings as the shea.This thesis aims is an economic analysis of organics and fairtrade products global value chains in Mali with knowing organic fair cotton and sesame. Does
the development of organics and fairtrade certified products can improve producers inclusion in global economy and rebalance the power struggles in the global value chains or do reproduce the scenario of the conventional agricultural products? This thesis invites us to investigate on how the global opportu- nities created by the organics and fair trade products can be valorized locally by value chains upstream actors. He invites also to understand how global certification system can redynamize the ecnonomics exchanges between North and South in impacting local communities capabilities to face a global presure .

Title: Gender Analysis in the Dairy Value Chains in Nicaragua. Revealing Opportunities and Cons- traints for Success of Women Entrepreneurs.•
Description: The research focuses on gender relation- ships in the Dairy Value Chains in Nicaragua; it is oriented around the reflection of some, often neglected, complexities characterizing the dairy sector. the dairy sector and its value chains taking place in are embedded in a complex institutional environment with particular cultural and gender dimensions. The gender analysis is addressed towards the examination of the constraints and opportunities of women and men as micro, small or middle entrepreneurs in their multiple identities in two types of dairy value chains; a) upgraded chains where the producers of milk have built their ownassociative enterprises to generate and capture more value added, and b) more traditional chains in which individual family businesses are predominant. By multiple identities, this study understands women and men as producers, buyers, exporters, suppliers, etc. whose participation also depends of gender, age, educational level, expertise, residence place, and the ability to build social networks.

Title: Location of Economic Activities within Countries. The Case of Argentina and MERCOSUR Members.•
Description: Motivated by the striking spatial reality of my country, Argentina, this thesis contributes to the body of research known as the New Economic Geography (NEG) and to the underdeveloped study of economic geography in Argentina and MERCOSUR.The dissertation aims at understanding how location and agglomeration of economic activities have occurred within the country and the bloc during the last decades of re-opening of the economy to international trade. The introductory chapter lays out the motivation and objectives of this thesis, and presents its plan. Chapter 1 puts it into the perspec- tive of the existing literature. It is a very complete and rather detailed revision of the NEG framework, focusing on theoretical and empirical contributions that address the impacts of trade costs changes on domestic economic landscapes. Chapter 2 introduces a typical model of new economic geography, exten- ded to deal with different ‘pre-integration’ scenarios in order to evaluate the spatial effects that a regional integration agreement may provoke within a member country. Chapter 3 builds a model that, introducing some more realistic such as comparative advantage differences across regions and intra-industry linkages, accounts for the role of transport costs and infrastructure in determining intra-country location
and export performance. Chapter 4 studies location within Argentina at the light of the predictions derived from the model in the second chapter.
Specifically, it carries out an explanatory spatial data analysis of the Argentinean economic landscape after MERCOSUR formation. Chapter 5 assesses whether regional export performance in Argentina, between 2003 and 2005, can be explained by means of the theoretical framework developed in the third chapter.
In this regard the chapter estimates the model-based gravity equation derived in that previous chapter.
Chapter 6 accomplished a related assessment for MERCOSUR regions. Proposing a more policy- oriented exercise, it attempted to identify where the resources of the Fondo de Convergencia Estructural del MERCOSUR (FOCEM) for infrastructure invest- ment should be directed to. Finally, the concluding chapter sumarises the contributions of this thesis and presents potentially interesting topics related to the subject of the thesis that, having been put aside, will be among the objectives of future research.

Title: Development Intervention, Capabilities and Local Institutional Change: The Economics of Grassroots Level Organizations Development.•
Description: Development intervention within a locality does modify local “organizational field domain” by increasing the number of grassroots organizations. Indeed, organizing the poor is not only the mean for delivering aid within a participatory development framework, but also a poverty allevia- ting strategy from an institutional approach to pover- ty reduction. However, how far do poor’s organizati- ons survive the development intervention, that is, to what extent does the latter affect the “organizational domain” to bring about organizations change and development is a central question, which is consi- stent with the aid-institution paradox concern. The present research combines the capability approach and the NIE perspective to institutional change to examine the potential of individual and collective capabilities expansion from the intervention to determining organizational change and development.MARIVOET Wim Personal Information

Description: This research project aims at describing and understanding the current livelihoods of Congo- lese people living in some urban areas in the western part of DR Congo. How do they make a living, which opportunities/constraints do they face, what is their relative power to preserve or challenge their environ- ment? Consequently, which distribution of wealth and resources may result from these specific liveli- hoods? And how should this be of interest to local, national and international policymakers?MENDOZA Rene Personal Information

Title: Cooperation and Conflict around Rural Livelihoods in the Nicaraguan Segovias: Interacti- ons with International Trade and Development Cooperation around Forests, Coffee and Artisan Production.•
Description: The research will try to diagnose the nature of the global and local political arenas in four municipal areas located in the northern region of Nicaragua through case studies of the networks related to value chains, the cooperative organization linked to fair trade organizations, and the indigenous organization connected with international agencies, all three around forestry, coffee and artisan products.It will focus on the way in which human agency is enabled as well as constrained by local and supra- local discourses, networks and institutions, which articulate to each other to form shifting strategic alliances in the local struggles around key resources and opportunities for development. The research aims to identify relevant aspects of the relations between the characteristics of social actor’s organi- zational forms in the arenas around forest resources and the final development outcomes in terms of exclusion/inclusion of the poor and deforestation/
substainable exploitation/conservation, all this within a context of encounter between Finnish Aid and the local wheels of path-dependent-history. On the basis of this analysis, the research will try to formulate recommendations for more effective intervention processes –at the social interface between local and external actors - in support of poverty reduction and preservation of forests.

Title: Effect of Trade Liberalisation (Regional Integration) on Manufacturing Performance for the Uruguayan Case.•
Description: the research analyse the effects of increase trade exposure due to the creation of the Southern Common Market (Mercosur), mainly from a dynamic point of view, on manufacturing perfor- mance at the industry and plant level. The research comprises three novel studies aside a survey of the literature and a brief review of the economy and trade policies in Uruguay: (i) "Regional Integration and Techno-logy Diffusion: the case of Uruguay":analysis of the existence of trade related technology diffusion from MERCOSUR partners, the EU and the NAFTA blocs on Total Factor Productivity of the Uruguayan Manufacturing Sector; (ii)"Trade and Technology Progress: assessing the dynamics gains from trade for Uruguay": this work examines techno- logy spillovers through imports of intermediates, foreign direct investment and learning by exporting;
(iii) “Effects of Increased Trade Exposure and its Links with firms dynamics: a Difference-in-Difference Approach”. This work applies a novel methodology to trade reforms: impact evaluation techniques, which are commonly used in labour economics. Further- more, in this work we analyse the impact of increased openness on plants’ productivity, size and markups, testing the predictions of the “new new trade models”.

Title: Contract Choice and Livelihood Strategies.The Opportunities and Constraints for Poor Rural Households’ Livelihoods in the Context of the Booming Dairy Chain in Matiguas.
•
Description: This Phd research aims at identifying and understanding the role played by various variables that help explain (small and poor) farmers´access to the dairy value chain, in the booming milk producing region of Matiguas (Nicaragua), and the their choice of contract of better-off farmers when it comes to sell their milk as it connects them to more (less) dynamic segment of the dairy chain which translates into different degrees of successful livelihood strategies. These livelihood strategies in turn, among other things, explain a process of land re-concentration in the area of study whereby milk producing successfully connected to the growing milk market seek to expand their production by buying land from other milk producers with limited possibili- ties to connect to the top segments of the dairy chain. The later group of producers, excluded and unable to benefit from milk production, sells their land in hopes to buy larger farms in areas close to or in the agricultural frontier, therefore accelerating the deforestation process in Nicaragua.
