Request for Expert Input: Ranking Circumvention Methods for Network Shutdown Resilience
by Yasin, Miss Ammara Yasin 13 Jul '25

13 Jul '25

Hi all, I am a PhD student at University College London working with Dr Anna Mandalari and Dr Volker Stocker to develop a taxonomy of network shutdown circumvention methods, with a focus on their technical efficacy and operational viability in protest/conflict scenarios. Given the nature of this mailing list and your collective areas of expertise in this field, we would really appreciate if you could spare 20 minutes to help us validate this taxonomy by filling out a short form. You will be asked to rank 10 circumvention methods by a set of criteria extracted from the literature, and your rankings will directly inform a diagnostic tool for assessing circumvention strategies and guiding future development of tools. Please let me know if this sounds interesting to you and I will send the form across ASAP - please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions and thank you in advance for your time ! Yours, Ammara

New Publication Alert ~ Share Across Networks

Dear Colleagues "The essence of true understanding lies not merely in what is known, but in how profoundly it reshapes what is yet to be discovered." So begins our latest endeavor, : Banking on Circularity: Can Financial Institutions Become the Engines of a Regenerative Economy? Co-authored by Williams and I, which confronts the current state-of-the-art in circular finance with uncompromising rigor. While contemporary approaches have pushed boundaries, they often grapple with a limited scope, failing to fully integrate systemic regeneration. Our paper transcends these limitations by introducing a novel framework for assessing and de-risking circular economy investments. This isn't merely an incremental improvement; it’s a fundamental rethinking, offering a blueprint for financial institutions to identify, evaluate, and capitalize on genuinely regenerative business models. The contribution of this work to the ongoing discussion is profound. Daniella and I don't just present a solution; we ignite a new avenue for inquiry, meticulously dissecting the implicit assumptions that have previously constrained progress. Our analysis reveals the critical need for new accounting standards that recognize the intrinsic value of resource longevity and ecosystem services, thereby challenging established dogma and opening fertile ground for future exploration. The potential this research heralds is transformative, offering critical synergies across finance, sustainable development, and industrial ecology, and paving the way for a truly regenerative global economy. This synthesis of theoretical insight and practical applicability promises to redefine how capital flows enable environmental and social prosperity, moving us beyond conventional boundaries and towards a more nuanced, interconnected future. We invite you to engage with this work and join us in shaping the next frontier of sustainable finance.

Dear Colleagues, Let's pause to think; "If we can't measure it, we can't manage it – and the Circular Economy demands precision, not just promise." ~ W.M My new article presents a critical leap forward, "Towards Circular Economy Metrics: a Systematic Review" meticulously tackles one of the most pressing challenges in the transition to a circular economy: The article is guided upon this epistemological lense: How do we truly measure progress? What is known about traditional metrics often revolves around linear indicators like waste generated or recycling rates. While useful, these frequently fail to capture the systemic interdependencies and value retention inherent in a circular model. The current state-of-the-art offers a fragmented landscape of disparate indicators, lacking harmonization and comprehensive scope. The novelty of this paper lies in its rigorous systematic review. It synthesizes a vast array of existing metrics to expose their limitations and illuminate the path forward. This article provides enriched insights into the complexities of measurement, moving beyond simple input/output analysis. The study identifies and scrutinizes over six critical aspects of metrics (e.g., material flows, energy efficiency, value retention, social impacts, economic viability, and system-level circularity), revealing significant gaps, particularly in the social dimension and across different scales (micro, meso, macro). The contribution to knowledge is immense. It provides a robust, evidence-based roadmap for developing a unified, comprehensive, and truly effective set of CE metrics. By delineating what exists and what is missing, the study not only clarifies the chaotic current landscape but also serves as a roadmap for future exploration and unraveling of measurement challenges. This systematic approach paves the way for a new generation of sophisticated, interconnected metrics crucial for effective policy-making, business strategy, and ultimately, real-world impact. The reality the study highlights is that without a common language for measuring circularity, we risk misdirected efforts and elusive progress. The article advocates for sophisticated collaboration among researchers, industry, and policymakers to converge on universally accepted, robust metrics, ensuring our collective journey toward a truly circular future is not merely aspirational but demonstrably impactful. Link to the article: https://doi.org/10.1007/s43615-025-00604-5 https://rdcu.be/enEVf Also Link: https://rdcu.be/eotf8 Let's SHARE across our contacts, mentors and within our networks.

Circular Economy Publication Alert

Dear Colleagues, The current scholarship of knowledge, as exemplified by "Integrating Circular Economy Principles in Business Strategies: a Policy-Driven Approach," reveals a profound ontological shift: from a linear, extractive worldview to a cyclical, regenerative paradigm. This transition necessitates a radical re-evaluation of value creation, moving beyond mere economic utility to encompass ecological and social well-being. Furthermore, this article itself critically examines the intersection of policy and business strategy in fostering circularity. It highlights the inherent tension between top-down regulatory frameworks and bottom-up corporate innovation, reinforcing the need for synergistic alignment. The study contents promise to add to theory and practice by offering a nuanced understanding of policy-driven circular economy integration, particularly in identifying effective policy mechanisms and strategic frameworks that bridge this gap. This contributes to an innovative philosophical output by moving beyond descriptive analysis to prescriptive recommendations for achieving a truly sustainable economic system, one that harmonizes human endeavor with planetary boundaries and ultimately, redefines prosperity.
