How does the recognition of collective self-governance rights for indigenous communities affect national unity and state consolidation? In recent decades, many states have recognized such rights, devolving de jure control over land and local governance to indigenous institutions. Prominent perspectives in the state-building literature suggest that...
Existing accounts of centralized candidate selection argue that party elites tend to ignore constituent preferences in favor of internal party concerns, leading to accountability deficits. Yet this claim has been largely assumed rather than demonstrated. We provide the first detailed empirical analysis of the relationship between constituent opinio...
Widespread acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines is crucial for achieving sufficient immunization coverage to end the global pandemic, yet few studies have investigated COVID-19 vaccination attitudes in lower-income countries, where large-scale vaccination is just beginning. We analyze COVID-19 vaccine acceptance across 15 survey samples covering 10 low-...

Background
As vaccination campaigns are deployed worldwide, addressing vaccine hesitancy is of critical importance to ensure sufficient immunization coverage. We analyzed COVID-19 vaccine acceptance across 15 samples covering ten low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) in Asia, Africa, and South America, and two higher income countries (Russia an...
As countries begin to vaccinate their populations against COVID-19, creating systems to verify vaccine records will be vital to reopening businesses, educational institutions, and travel. We consider the challenges of building vaccine record verification (VRV) systems that involve data sharing by health care providers, methods for verifying vaccine...
Objective
To study the U.S. public’s attitudes toward surveillance measures aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19, particularly smartphone applications (apps) that supplement traditional contact tracing.
Method
We deployed a survey of approximately 2,000 American adults to measure support for nine COVID-19 surveillance measures. We assessed atti...

Does humanitarian aid delivered in the aftermath of civil conflict increase the risk of conflict resumption? And if so, under what conditions? In contrast to previous work that focuses on the terms of civil war resolution, we argue that humanitarian aid is most likely to play a de-stabilizing role when armed groups have access to territorial safe h...

... To date, global environmental and climate governance have only allowed a superficial appreciation of Indigenous Peoples' and local communities' contributions to climate change adaptation and mitigation (David-Chavez and Gavin, 2018), or even resulted in their assimilation (McMurry, 2021) under the 'tyranny of participation,' the unequal terms on which Indigenous Peoples and local communities commonly interact (Enns et al., 2014). But there have also been engagements of respect and voluntary coproduction between scientists and Indigenous Peoples and local communities. ...
... Such suspicions can make people hesitate to take vaccination for themselves or others. For instance, vaccine skeptics are less likely to receive (Solís Arce et al., 2021) or allow their children to receive vaccines (Joslyn and Sylvester, 2019;Tan et al., 2022). ...

... The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to disrupt daily life until an effective vaccine is widely accepted. There is growing global concern about vaccine hesitancy-the widespread reluctance to take safe and recommended vaccines [1,2]. Vaccine hesitancy becomes more complex as new SARS-CoV-2 variants emerge and new vaccines come to market. ...
... Particularly with the wider acceptance and use of vaccination passports in the COVID-19 pandemic and post-pandemic, gaining consumers' approval and trust in THOs business practices becomes paramount. These organisations should consider travellers' concerns regarding privacy violations, government/private surveillance, the potential abuse of data collected and consumers' distrust in vaccination passport apps (Zhang et al., 2021). To increase consumers' trust THOs should implement strong internal controls and safeguards to prevent staff from accessing any personal data without ethical process (e.g. ...
... However, the rapid transmission of COVID-19 and high rates of infection from asymptomatic individuals have made manual contact tracing infeasible, and contact tracing through mobile technologies was promoted as a faster, less labor intensive, and more efficient means of controlling viral spread. 1,2 University research groups, governments, and technology companies responded by building mobile applications that leveraged and deployed cell phone data. [3][4][5] By December 2020, almost 4 dozen countries had introduced or proposed contact tracing apps, and encouraged people to download and use them. ...
... Furthermore, users may have varying motivations for using an ENS app, including intrinsic motivation to help others (15, 16), compliance with rules/regulations for fear of not being able to work or participate in desirable activities (12,14), fear of illness or death (15, 16), and others. By and large, public resistance to the ENS has focused on user trust and app usefulness contrasted by the potential infringement of privacy (16, [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Privacy and security risks may lead to low app performance, user fears about using the service, or distrust in results (21). ...
