The VUCA is a well-known business concept capturing that we live in an ever changing global and local landscape defined by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. The convergence of profound changes brought about by new technologies and global crisis such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the NATO defeat in Afghanistan constitute the root of the VUCA world. With the outset in these two contemporary crises I will explore what sort of change and lessons learned can be derived from what they caused. This historically defining moment may be the time where human rights are either marginalized for a long period of time or they take another step forward realizing the interconnectedness and interrelatedness of all rights in addressing global in-equalities.

Provides a response to Johnson and Nettle’s paper, discussing justifications for the UK welfare state, and associated perceptions of disability and fairness. Rather than the ‘stick’ of sanctions and conditionality, more investment is required in return to work efforts.

This article takes an ethnographic look at processes of long-term and lingering crises. Building on longitudinal and transnational fieldwork with migrants from Bissau, the capital of Guinea- Bissau, it illuminates the ways that crisis may ramify across time and scale, thereby affecting everyday life, social relations and political dynamics. While the concept of ‘slow crisis’ sits uncomfortably within our common understanding of crisis as a momentary aberration and tipping point, the article clarifies how attending to the lingering and wandering effects of the phenomenon may grant us a fuller understanding of its temporality and social life. The article explores the way crisis is lived through a longitudinal study of Guinea-Bissauan migrants in Bissau, Lisbon and Paris. Via an ethnographic case study of a protracted and compound crisis, it illuminates the social deterioration, contraction and fragmentation that define such situations, and points to the common dynamics of crises as continuing critical conditions rather than singular aberrations.

This article reports on a causal link from urban poverty, through tenure insecurity and poor-quality housing, to energy injustices for slum dwellers. Impacts of those injustices on residents’ well-being are identified. The prevalent physical manifestation of rapid urbanisation and urban poverty in the Global South is the incidence of slums. This article engages with the academic debate on ‘energy justice’, a relatively nascent field. This article takes a more fine-grained view of energy justice than most previous scholarship, examining the energy experience at a household scale in a specific setting of urban poverty. The contention of this article is that energy injustices prevail in informal settlements not only due to issues of governance and poverty, but also, to a significant degree, as a result of the urban poor being deprived of secure tenure and decent housing. Further, these injustices impact on people’s well-being. The latter point is explored though a capability analysis in a case-study slum in Dhaka. The case-study slum, Kallyanpur Pora Bostee, is a squatter settlement on government land in Dhaka.Key messagesThis article identifies a causality link from urban poverty through tenure insecurity and poor-quality housing to energy injustices for slum dwellers.The provision of affordable, reliable and modern energy to all citizens is enshrined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals, an aspiration which must include slum dwellers.This article establishes that energy injustices prevail in informal settlements from not only issues of governance and poverty but also, to a significant degree, as a result of the urban poor being deprived of secure tenure and decent housing.
本文报道了城市贫困与贫民窟居民的能源不公平之间的因果关系。城市贫困是由于租住权不安全和住房质量差造成的。确定了这些不公正对居民福祉的影响。在全球南方国家，快速城市化和城市贫困的普遍表现是贫民窟的出现。本文涉及关于“能源正义”的学术辩论，这是一个相对新生的领域。这篇文章对能源公平采取了比以往大多数学术研究更细致的观点，在城市贫困的特定背景下，研究了家庭规模的能源体验。本文的论点是，在非正式住区中普遍存在的能源不公正不仅是由于治理和贫困问题，而且在很大程度上是由于城市穷人被剥夺了有保障的使用权和体面的住房。此外，这些不公正现象影响到人们的福祉。后一点是通过对达卡贫民窟的能力分析来探讨的。案例研究贫民窟Kallyanpur Pora Bostee是达卡政府土地上的一个棚户区。本文确定了城市贫困(租住权不安全和劣质住房)与贫民窟居民的能源不公平之间的因果关系。为所有公民提供负担得起的、可靠的现代能源是联合国可持续发展目标的重要内容，这一目标必须包括贫民窟居民。这篇文章指出，在非正式住区中普遍存在的能源不公正现象不仅来自治理和贫困问题，而且在很大程度上也是由于城市贫民被剥夺了有保障的使用权和体面的住房。

This article explores crisis as social dynamics spurred by events that not only disrupt the normal order of things, but also transmute into crisis processes that generate persisting hardship and problems of the ordinary. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the industrial zones of Northern Vietnam, the article highlights the ways in which women workers manage crisis as an underlying condition of daily life. Capturing the heterogeneity and volatility of crisis means to unravel the modalities, intensities and temporalities by which a specific crisis is composed, and to identify how it interlocks with socio-economic crisis antecedents, such as gender and class. While crisis takes different shapes and undergoes various phases, a crisis tends to entangle itself with already-existing crises, fuelling or even exacerbating those, while fostering crises entanglements that impose difficulties and harm upon lifeworlds. The differentiated ways in which particular social groups can mitigate crisis challenges and build social resilience depend on ‘horizons of coping’, which inform the scales and impacts of crises entanglements. Thus, crisis studies direct our attention towards human precariousness and societal inequalities, as well as the ways in which crises entanglements are counteracted, closed, navigated or endured in specific ethnographic contexts.
