It provides insights into farmer subjectivities within a rapidly transforming rural political economy where individuals are highly dependent on government transfers. Through ethnography, subsidies are shown to rework traditional notions of farm work and value, with consequences for labour and land use strategies. Subsidies are more than economic tools as the Hungarian state manipulates, rewards and disciplines rural actors. In consequence, new farmer subjectivities and habits comprise traits and labours that are synonymous with ‘new’ farmers who are frequently non-local and mobile.}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1743-9361}, pages = {387-410}, orcid-numbers = {Kovács Krasznai, Eszter/0000-0003-3516-7786} } @article{MTMT:30452630, title = {Ten-year assessment of the 100 priority questions for global biodiversity conservation}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30452630}, author = {Jucker, Tommaso and Wintle, Bonnie and Shackelford, Gorm and Bocquillon, Pierre and Geffert, Jan Laurens and Kasoar, Tim and Kovács Krasznai, Eszter and Mumby, Hannah S. and Orland, Chloé and Schleicher, Judith and Tew, Eleanor R. and Zabala, Aiora and Amano, Tatsuya and Bell, Alexandra and Bongalov, Boris and Chambers, Josephine M. and Corrigan, Colleen and Durán, América P. and Duvic-Paoli, Leslie-Anne and Emilson, Caroline and Emilson, Erik J.S. and da Silva, Jéssica Fonseca and Garnett, Emma E. and Green, Elizabeth J. and Guth, Miriam K. and Hacket-Pain, Andrew and Hinsley, Amy and Igea, Javier and Kunz, Martina and Luke, Sarah H. and Lynam, William and Martin, Philip A. and Nunes, Matheus H. and Ockendon, Nancy and Pavitt, Aly and Payne, Charlotte L.R. and Plutshack, Victoria and Rademacher, Tim T. and Robertson, Rebecca J. and Rose, David C. and Serban, Anca and Simmons, Benno I. and Tayleur, Catherine and Wordley, Claire F.R. and Mukherjee, Nibedita}, doi = {10.1111/cobi.13159}, journal-iso = {CONSERV BIOL}, journal = {CONSERVATION BIOLOGY}, volume = {32}, unique-id = {30452630}, issn = {0888-8892}, year = {2018}, eissn = {1523-1739}, pages = {1457-1463}, orcid-numbers = {Kovács Krasznai, Eszter/0000-0003-3516-7786} } @article{MTMT:30451917, title = {The major barriers to evidence-informed conservation policy and possible solutions}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30451917}, author = {Rose, David C. and Sutherland, William J. and Amano, Tatsuya and Gonzalez-Varo, Juan P. and Robertson, Rebecca J. and Simmons, Benno I. and Wauchope, Hannah S. and Kovács Krasznai, Eszter and Duran, America Paz and Vadrot, Alice B.

In nature conservation, studies investigating why policy is often not evidence-informed have tended to focus on Western democracies, with relatively small samples. To understand global variation and challenges better, we established a global survey aimed at identifying top barriers and solutions to the use of conservation science in policy. This obtained the views of 758 people in policy, practice, and research positions from 68 countries across six languages. Here we show that, contrary to popular belief, there is agreement between groups about how to incorporate conservation science into policy, and there is thus room for optimism. Barriers related to the low priority of conservation were considered to be important, while mainstreaming conservation was proposed as a key solution. Therefore, priorities should focus on convincing the public of the importance of conservation as an issue, which will then influence policy-makers to adopt pro-environmental long-term policies.}, keywords = {KNOWLEDGE; Biodiversity; SCIENCE; conservation policy; BOUNDARY; CHALLENGES; political science; evidence-based conservation; science communication; evidence-informed conservation; knowledge exchange; ECOLOGISTS}, year = {2018}, eissn = {1755-263X}, orcid-numbers = {Rose, David C./0000-0002-5249-9021; Simmons, Benno I./0000-0002-2751-9430; Kovács Krasznai, Eszter/0000-0003-3516-7786} } @book{MTMT:3326853, title = {Ecosystem Services for Poverty Alleviation.

We explore the engagement, negotiation, implementation, and postimplementation phases of a “reciprocal water access” (RWA) agreement between village communities and municipal water users at Palampur, Himachal Pradesh, India. We aim to highlight how external actors drove the payments for ecosystem services agenda through a series of facilitation and research engagements, which were pivotal to the RWA’s adoption, and how the agreement fared once external agents withdrew. In the postimplementation period, the RWA agreement continues to be upheld by upstream communities amidst evolving, competing land-use changes and claims. The introduction of cash payments for environmental services for forest-water relationships has given rise to multifaceted difficulties for the upstream hamlets, which has impeded the functionality of their forest management committee. Upstream communities’ formal rights and abilities to control and manage their resources are dynamic and need strengthening and assurance; these developments result in fluctuating transaction and opportunity costs not originally envisaged by the RWA agreement. The paper demonstrates the importance of an explicit understanding of the local politics of negotiation and implementation to determine the effectiveness of compensationbased mechanisms for the supply of ecosystem services. © 2016 by the author(s).}, keywords = {India; Politics; water management; Himalayas; ecosystem service; water use; policy implementation; Palampur; Himachal Pradesh; negotiation process; Payments for ecosystem services; Negotiations}, year = {2016}, orcid-numbers = {Kovács Krasznai, Eszter/0000-0003-3516-7786} }
