Rethinking the sustainable development goals: Learning with and from community‐...
Hefrey, T.; Feola, G.; Penha‐Lopes, G.; Sekulova, F.; Esteves, A.This paper explores the actual and potential contributions of community‐led initiatives (CLIs) to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As examples of self‐determined practical action for sustainability and social justice, CLIs prefigure many of the intended outcomes of the SDGs. Existing evidence shows that CLIs are already contributing, at local scale, to almost all of the SDGs, and achieving particular s...

Esteves, A."On his study of the counterculture of the ‘60's and ’70's, Fred Turner argues that the application of systems-thinking and cybernetics to community-led initiatives (CLIs) makes them particularly vulnerable to internal factionalism and conflict, resulting from social and material pressures leading to the reproduction of mainstream norms and practices.

Paixão, G.; Fontela, S.B.; Marques, J.; Esteves, A.; Charneca, R; Payan-Carreira, RThis study aimed to find a suitable immunocastration protocol for male Bísaro pigs (BP) due to the breed and production system particularities.

Solidarity economy: Challenges to social movement theory
Esteves, A.The political innovations that emerged from the Latin American “Pink Wave” of the 2000’s, as well as the European anti-austerity and environmental mobilizations of the 2010’s, challenge the focus on protest that has characterised social movement scholarship in the last decades (Pleyers & Capitaine 2016). At the core of these innovations is the promotion, through movement praxis as well as public policy, of comm...
