title: The international law gaze: Indonesia — Import Licensing Regimes (New Zealand)

authors: Alvarez-Jimenez, Alberto

abstract: The results in inter-State litigation seldom permit comparisons with competitive sports. A rare exception is the panel report of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Indonesia – Importation of Horticultural Products, Animals and Animal Products [Indonesia – Import Licences Regimes]. The score at the first stage of this litigation is New Zealand 18 – Indonesia 0. New Zealand and the United States, separately, challenged 18 of Indonesia’s import restrictions adopted since 2011, which were aimed at protecting the local beef and horticultural industries (the measures), and the panel declared that all of them were contrary to the law of the WTO. New Zealand’s like industries may see the end of their problems in Indonesia on the horizon. The win, though, is not definitive, since the latter has appealed the report before the WTO Appellate Body. (World Trade Organization, Notification of an Appeal by Indonesia under Article 16.4 and Article 17 of the Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes, 21 February 2017).

title: Longitudinal relations between belief in climate change and environmental efficacy

authors: Mala, Ritika

subjects: climate change

abstract: Climate change is one the most important issues we face today as it has catastrophic consequences for our environment, communities, and well-being. Thus, an individual’s pro-environmental behaviours are important to mitigate the climate crisis we face today. Research indicates that increased awareness of the climate crisis has led to various climate actions such as the climate strikes in 2019. We test our pre-registered predictions using two waves of an annual national panel study, the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Survey (N = 13,918). Cross-lagged results indicate that the climate change is real item and the personal action item showed partial support for a bidirectional association one-year later. These longitudinal findings reveal a novel link between belief in climate change and environmental efficacy, which is crucial for understanding pro-environmentalism among/of individuals in the community.

title: Community-university collaborations: creating hybrid research and collective identities

authors: Cave, Jennifer Barbara Jane

subjects: collaborative

abstract: In this article we explore the politics of community-university collaborative research and activism. We are scholars based in universities as well as members of various 'communities'-queer, Pasifika and Māori-hence we regularly venture beyond the formal research spaces of the academy and enter into critical collaborative research with others working in 'the community'. In what follows we first outline collaborative community-based research literature that advocates hybrid research collectivities. Second, we give some context and background to our methodologies that have enabled us to re-think collaborative research. Third, examples from our research are offered to illustrate the ways in which collaborative research constructs new collective identities. Finally, we conclude by arguing that social science scholars working across university-community boundaries may expand and multiply hybrid research collectives, and thereby effect positive social change at many levels
