Profiled composite slab strength determination method by Mohammed, Kachalla, Abd Karim, Izian, Abd. Aziz, Farah Nora Aznieta, Law, Teik Hua

“…The new Failure Test Load (FTL) methodology is from a reliability-based evaluation of PCS load capacity design with longitudinal shear estimation under slope-intercept (m-k) method. The limit-state capacity development is through consideration of the experimental FTL value as the maximum material strength, and design load equivalent estimation using the shear capacity computation. …”

Games for groundwater governance: field experiments in Andhra Pradesh, India by Ruth Meinzen-Dick, Rahul Chaturvedi, Laia Domènech, Rucha Ghate, Marco A. Janssen, Nathan D. Rollins, K Sandeep

“…Groundwater is a common-pool resource that is subject to depletion in many places around the world as a result of increased use of irrigation and water-demanding cash crops. Where state capacity to control groundwater use is limited, collective action is important to increase recharge and restrict highly water-consumptive crops. …”

Bolivia’s "Proceso de Cambio": Adjusting the Ideological Paradigm from Social to Economic by Martín Mendoza-Botelho

“…The political challenge, however, has been the transformation of this holistic approach into a practical one and the policy implications that this entails ‒a particularly difficult issue in a country with weak institutional settings and limited state capacity. This article argues that although there have been many gains, particularly in reorienting the notion of the welfare state and in key economic and social areas, the model is still highly dependent on a  neo-patrimonial  state  that relies heavily on a few commodities to support a growing social agenda. …”

A Typology of Post-Conflict Environments: An Overview. by Brown, G, Langer, A, Stewart, F

“…We also discuss four other important differences in enabling conditions – the state of security, the commitments of the international community to the country, state capacity and the inclusivity of governments. These enabling conditions are of critical importance in determining what policies are possible and their likely effectiveness. …”

Strategic mass killings by Esteban, J, Morelli, M, Rohner, D

“…We predict that mass killings are most likely in societies with large natural resources, signi.cant proportionality constraints for rent sharing, low productivity and low state capacity. Further, massacres are more likely in a civil than in an interstate war, as in the latter group sizes matter less for future rents. …”

Community Forest Management: Weak States or Strong Communities? by Bas Arts, Jelle Behagel, Jessica de Koning, Marieke van der Zon

“…While communities always need specific institutions, knowledge, and tenure rights in place to make CFM perform, each ideal type presupposes various degrees of state capacity and state autonomy. The article concludes that weak states (to some degree) and strong communities (of a certain kind) may indeed form a “convincing liaison” in CFM, although it is not the only arrangement that may produce (some) positive social and environmental impacts on the ground, as the cases explored illustrate.…”
