    Bhutan

    Bhutan is a small, landlocked country deep in the eastern Himalayas between India and China. Over a horizontal distance of just 100-150 km, the elevation rises from about 150 meters above sea level in the south to over 7,000 meters in the north. The population of about 735,0001 is scattered across steep mountain slopes and valleys, many in remote and far-flung hamlets. This makes Bhutan one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world, ranked 182 out of 215 countries. Nearly half the land area is protected to help preserve biodiversity.

    Peer-reviewed publication
    May, 2019
    Central Asia, Tajikistan

    We investigated wheat price relationships between the import-dependent countries in Central Asia and the South Caucasus and the Black Sea wheat exporters to assess wheat market efficiency. This is crucial for ensuring availability and access to wheat and for reducing food insecurity. Results from linear and threshold error correction models suggested a strong influence of trade costs on market integration in Central Asia, while those costs were of minor importance in the South Caucasus.

    The New Urban Agenda and SDG 11 promote inclusive urban development, but limited empirical
    knowledge exists on how such global rhetoric plays out on the ground. This paper contributes
    to the inclusive city debate by focusing on the case of Soba, a peri-urban area at the fringes
    of the capital of Sudan. Based on an explorative study of secondary material, semi-structured
    interviews and structured observations it aims to systematically analyse the dynamics of periurban
    development. Findings show how the rising pressure on land results in commoditisation,
