IWP researchers regularly publish their studies in academic journals. Here is an overview of recently published papers.
In the study Social Networks and Perceptions of Power in the Mekong Leong Ching finds that villagers perceive themselves to be highly influential in decision-making on resettlement at the Lower Sesan 2 Dam in Cambodia, whereas local leaders consider villagers to have little or no influence. This was one of the findings of applying a framework which combines quantitative mapping of local narratives onto social networks in order to understand how these networks impact the public narratives which travel along them.
In their paper The diversity of divestment in Singapore: Junk commodities, charity gifts, and recycling bins Corinne Ong, Lyle Fearnley and Siow Boon Chia argue that one reason for the limited performance of Singapore's National Recycling Programme is because it reduces a relationship of (commodity) exchange or gift among persons, to an act of disposal in an impersonal recycling bin.
Olivia Jensen and Corinne Ong show in their paper Collaborative Action for Community Resilience to Climate Risks: Opportunities and Barriers that the relative competence of the Singapore government leads to a perception of citizens that they do not need or are responsible to intervene and participate in creating community resilience to climate risks.
