- Mobilizing the State: The Erratic Partner in Brazil's Participatory Water Policy (2009, background): “Some have authority over relatively marginal issues, with “important” decisions remaining in the hands of traditional decision makers.(20) Second, because those who design participatory processes define the rules of the game, they are able to manipulate outcomes.”
- Cause and response: vulnerability and climate in the Anthropocene (2014, background): “Manor (2005) shows that central governments and aid institutions overfunded self-appointed or externally created non-governmental organizations (NGOs) while underfunding elected local governments – making formal local representation less able and less relevant.”
