State institutions and hybrid governance beyond the 'failed' state: a comparative study of custom institutions along the borders of South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. University of Antwerp
Governance of co-operative enterprises under pressure: A multilevel and holistic approach KU Leuven
The co-operative organizational model is one imbued with values: democracy, self-help, selfresponsibility, equity, equality, and solidarity. Co-operatives share a strong distinctive identity relying on internationally-shared principles, translated into specific governance characteristics, among which member ownership and control, and democratic decision-making. Despite their contribution to pluralism on markets, co-operatives still lack ...
DOMINIA enabled. The role of the state, spatial policy systems and the governance of Landed Commons in Europe. KU Leuven
Several scholars have been for long underlining the growing potential that Landed Commons (LCs) embody, as alternative land governance arrangements covering a broad range between public and private property regimes, to address discrepancies between increasing land demands and sustainable development. However, global and European organizations have drawn attention to their often-limited legal recognition and institutional embeddedness in ...

Sabbatical Filip De Beule: Hybrid Organizations, The Next Chapter in Sustainable Business: A Comparative Institutional Study KU Leuven
Across the globe, hybrid organizations have attracted increased interest from practitioners and policymakers, but also from the academic world. Hybrid organizations, like social enterprises and cooperatives, set up in response to market failures in communities, are delivering innovative solutions to persistent social and environmental challenges. This new breed of organizations has taken a more business-oriented approach to tackling social ...
Innovative hybrid neutral models for the plasma edge modeling of nuclear fusion reactors KU Leuven
Plasma edge simulations are extensively used for the development of operational scenarios of existing and future magnetic confinement based fusion devices and the design of future reactors. One typically solves a set of Navier-Stokes like fluid equations for the plasma, whereas the neutral atoms and molecules are usually treated kinetically with a Monte Carlo simulation. An example of such a kinetic Monte Carlo code is the worldwide used ...
Hybrid Democracy: Combining Elections, Sortition and Direct Democracy KU Leuven
The representative institutions that we inherited from the past may not be suited anymore to the evolution of democratic societies. They rely on elitist premises that are more and more challenged by citizens and theorists alike. In reaction to what they perceive as failures of representation, many theorists and activists point to the promises of democratic innovations increasing citizens’ involvement beyond elections, such as citizens’ ...
Evolving Epistemologies: understanding hybrid knowledge and its impact on livelihoods in migrant-agricultural settings in Ghana. Ghent University
Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is increasingly recognised for its value in improving people’s livelihoods and increasing the resilience of livelihoods. This research aims to further explore this assertion by understanding the process of how different TEK systems can co-exist and interact, between different groups of people. The spaces where different groups meet can be plenty, however, this research proposes to look at agricultural ...
