Bliss, John C., Tamara Walkingstick, and Conner Bailey. 1998. "Sustaining Alabama's Forest Communities: Development or Dependency?" Journal of Forestry 96(3):24-31.

Abstract: Communities throughout the rural South depend upon the forest for environmental, economic and social sustenance. Comparison of two forest-dependent communities in Alabama illustrates how a community's well-being and prospects for sustainable development are shaped by its unique history, social structure, prevailing pattern of resource ownership, and forest industrial sector structure. Opportunities and constraints for forestry to contribute to sustainable development are discussed.

Bailey, Conner. 1998. "What Can We Learn From the Classics: Continuities and Change in the Study of Malay Coastal Fishing Communities." Komunitas 2(1):34-42. (Published in Indonesia at the Research Center for Rural Development, University of Mataram).

Abstract: A review of the classic work on Malay fishermen by Raymond and Rosemary Firth reveals both continuities and changes in the study of coastal fishing communities. The Firths studied the fishing community of Perupok in 1939-1940 and returned for a brief follow-up visit in 1963. The restudy allowed the Firths to examine dynamics of change brought about by the introduction of new technologies, notably mechanization and the adoption of nylon netting in the fishing industry. The Firths' careful accounting of the economics of fishing and the household provide important baseline information that we can use to assess changes that have taken place in intervening years. Observations made by the current author indicate that by the mid-1970s fishing in Perupok had undergone further organizational and technological changes in the direction of industrialization, with local fishers operating as crew on purse-seiners operating out of a fishing port approximately 40 miles from their home community. The Firths did not foresee the coming transformation of fishing from an artisanal to an industrial model, or the current need for resource management brought about by the combined impacts of technological advances and voracious national and international markets for seafood. They did, however, leave a solid foundation upon which to build. The need for more detailed ethnographic accounts of fishing communities is identified.

C. Solheim, C.E. Faupel, and C. Bailey. 1997. One way or another: public participation in siting solid waste landfills. Southern Rural Sociology 13(1).

Abstract: Recent changes in technical requirements affecting landfill design, mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, have led to closing the majority of solid waste landfills in the United States. Efforts to site new landfills have elicited widespread opposition. Based on eight case studies in Alabama where organized opposition occurred, we identify three primary themes behind this opposition: threats to quality of life, potentially harmful economic impacts, and frustration over representational issues and the process involved in selecting the proposed solid waste facility. In all but one case, local opposition was successful in blocking the proposal. These concerns mirror much of the literature on public opposition to landfills and other facilities which pose similar threats to the environment and public health. This raises the question of why, when the technical regulations affecting solid waste landfills were updated, no parallel modification of the permit process for such facilities was initiated. In light of concerns identified in our case studies, we identify a set of suggested modifications in the permit process that would allow for greater public participation in the siting and permitting process.

Kusumastanto, Tridoyo, Curtis Jolly, and Conner Bailey. 1997. "A Multiperiod Programming Evaluation of Brackishwater Shrimp Aquaculture Development in Indonesia 1989/1990-1998/1999. Aquaculture. Forthcoming.

Abstract: Brackishwater shrimp aquaculture was economically evaluated to determine the best mix of aquaculture enterprises in Indonesia. Data were compiled for three categories of brackishwater shrimp aquaculture systems: extensive, semi-intensive, and intensive, as well as for different farm sizes, small-scale (2 ha), medium-scale (5 ha), and extra large-scale (30 ha). These data were used to simulate the enterprise combination for the shrimp-producing regions in Indonesia. Model results showed that small-scale and medium-scale semi-intensive systems were the best strategies for shrimp aquaculture development in Indonesia. Extensive systems entered in solution only if there were skilled labor constraints. Risk analysis revealed risk-expected net present income trade-offs and declining risk with declining expected net present income for all regions.

Conner Bailey. 1997. Lessons From Indonesia's 1980 Trawler Ban. Marine Policy21(3):225-235.

Abstract: In 1980 the Indonesian government imposed a ban on trawling along the Malacca Straits and off the north coast of Java, the nation's two most important fishing grounds. The ban on trawling was extended nation-wide in 1981, effectively eliminating a highly productive type of fishing gear and the most important source of shrimp for the lucrative international market. The political nature of this decision and factors contributing to what has proven to be effective enforcement are discussed. Data on the Malacca Straits and the north coast of Java are used to assess the consequences of the trawler ban on the demersal fisheries. Prior to the trawler ban, little or no growth occurred in numbers of fishers, numbers of small-scale demersal gear, or landings by small-scale demersal gear. After 1980, however, small-scale demersal fisheries experienced dramatic growth, generating significant new employment opportunities but raising anew serious resource management problems.

Conner Bailey, Peter Sinclair, John Bliss and Karni Perez. 1996. "Segmented Labor Markets in Alabama's Pulp and Paper Industry." Rural Sociology 61(3):474-495.

Abstract: Alabama's forest products industry plays a dominant role in the state's rural economy. Examination of how access to employment opportunities is distributed provides insight into how the benefits of this industry are distributed. Based on a combination of available secondary data and semi-structured interviews with management and workers in the pulp and paper sector of the forest products industry, a clear picture of a segmented labor market emerges in which race and gender are key determinants of access to certain jobs. Evolution of this highly segmented labor market is traced from its 'Jim Crow' roots to contemporary efforts towards affirmative action. Increased use of sub-contracting in logging, hauling and mill work represents the most recent change affecting the structure of labor markets associated with the production of pulp and paper.

Conner Bailey and Caroline Pomeroy. 1996. "Resource Dependency and Development Options in Coastal Southeast Asia." Society and Natural Resources 9(1):191-199.

Abstract: The concept of resource dependency has been used to describe the relationship between community stability and a variety of natural resource systems. Resource dependent communities frequently are described as being vulnerable to externally-induced changes because of their reliance on a single resource system. Most of the literature on this topic has focused on North America. In this paper, the concept of resource dependency is applied to the coastal zone of Southeast Asia. Resource dependency in this context takes on a very different form due to the complexity and high natural productivity of tropical coastal ecosystems. These conditions create multiple economic niches for coastal residents, thus providing an important measure of community stability within the coastal resource system. This stability is being challenged by development policies which promote economic specialization -- the classic pitfall of resource dependent communities. An alternative ecosystem approach to coastal community development is proposed.

Anthony Davis and Conner Bailey. 1996. "Common in Custom, Uncommon in Advantage: Common Property, Local Elites and Alternative Approaches to Fisheries Management." Society and Natural Resources 9(3):251-265.

Abstract: Fisheries social research has attracted increasing attention in recent debates concerning alternative approaches in the design of fisheries management systems. This essay examines case study and fisheries social research literature with a view to highlighting conceptual-analytical strengths, shortcomings, and lessons with respect to management concerns. It is argued that effective and sustainable management regimes require that central consideration be given the principles of social justice and distributional equity. Approaching these goals, in turn, requires that research and management design attend to issues such as local-level social structures, gender/ethnic relations, and the distribution of socioeconomic power and material benefits.

Kelly D. Alley, Charles E. Faupel, and Conner Bailey. 1995. "The Historical Transformation of a Grassroots Environmental Group." Human Organization 54(4):410-416.

Abstract: This paper examines the historical transformation of a grassroots environmental group in Alabama's Black belt soils region. This group, known as Alabamians for a Clean Environment (ACE) formed with the specific purpose of closing down the nation's largest hazardous waste landfill just outside the town of Emelle in Sumter County. An examination of the agenda and activities of this group and the careers of its core members reveals struggles to maneuver the public right to know within entrenched economic and regulatory contingencies. While generating knowledge about national networks of waste disposal and the risks associated with them, ACE members crossed spacial locales and juggled national with local agendas. By tracing the professional development of these members as they moved from home front to other sites of grassroots struggle, this paper outlines the marginal position ACE cultivated in local waste politics and the alliances made with translocal networks.

Conner Bailey, Charles E. Faupel and Kelly Alley. 1994. "Environmental Racism." Journal of Agricultural & Food Information 2(4):3-21.

Abstract: Many minority communities in the United States have experienced the consequences of environmental racism. Until recently, mainstream environmental organizations have tended to ignore this phenomenon, while civil rights organizations have focused their attention primarily on political and economic rather than environmental discrimination. Based on case study material from Alabama and Mississippi, this paper examines efforts to forge an alliance between grassroots environmental and civil rights organizations are discussed.

Conner Bailey and Charles E. Faupel. 1992. "Movers and Shakers and PCB Takers: Hazardous Waste and Community Power." Sociological Spectrum 13:89-115.

Abstract: In 1977 a large hazardous waste facility was established in Sumter County, Alabama. This occurred during a period of intense political struggle between an entrenched white establishment and leaders of the local Black population, which makes up 70% of the county's total. The facility, owned and operated by chemical Waste Management, Inc., has attracted strenuous opposition from a small grassroots environmental organization. However, during the 15 years of its existence, hazardous wastes have yet to be an issue in local electoral campaigns. On the surface, the presence of this facility appears to have had minimal effect on community power relationships in Sumter County. The company's success at not becoming a local political issue is explained here as a function of limited local legal jurisdiction and the existence of more immediate and pressing demands associated with black political empowerment and widespread poverty. The study is based on detailed, semi-structured interviews over a 5-year period.

Conner Bailey and Charles Zerner. 1992. "Community-Based Fisheries Management Institutions in Indonesia." Maritime Anthropological Studies 5(1):1-17.

Abstract: Problems and prospects associated with community-based management of tropical fisheries resources are examined through a comparative case study based on field research conducted in Indonesia during 1990 and 1991. The argument is made that the central government lacks both the detailed knowledge of local ecosystems and the enforcement capability necessary to effectively manage highly diverse fisheries resources in this large archipelagic nation.

Conner Bailey, Charles E. Faupel and Susan H. Holland. 1992. "Hazardous Wastes and Differing Perceptions of Risk in Sumter County, Alabama." Society and Natural ResourcesV:21-36.

Abstract: Strong differences in perceptions of risk were found to exist between community leaders and the general public in Sumter County, Alabama, site of the nation's largest hazardous waste landfill. This landfill has been in operation since 1978. Data were obtained from three sources: semistructured interviews with community leaders and knowledgeable individuals, a random mail survey, and a door-to-door survey. Community leaders identified through the reputational approach were found to trust the facility operator's assessment of minimal risk associated with the facility. Reasons for this acceptance by local leaders are explored. The general public was far less convinced by the company's assurances and viewed the facility with alarm. The prevailing "mill town" atmosphere of the area discourages vocal opposition, which is limited to a small activist environmental organization.

Charles E. Faupel, Conner Bailey and Gary Griffin. 1991. "Local Media Roles in Defining Hazardous Waste as a Social Problem: The Case of Sumter County, Alabama." Sociological Spectrum 11(4):293-319.

Abstract: Sumter County, Alabama is host to the nation's largest commercial hazardous waste landfill. The purpose of this article is to examine how the two weekly newspapers published in Sumter County define the hazardous waste issue for local citizens. Coverage of the hazardous waste issues by these two newspapers was examined for the period 1978-1988. The starting point of this 11-year period coincides with the opening of the landfill and continues through a period of statewide public debate concerning the facility. Virtually no coverage of the hazardous waste issue occurred during the first 3 years of the facility's operations. The amount of space devoted to hazardous waste management increased slowly until 1988, when growing statewide attention to this issue resulted in expanded local coverage. During 12987 and 1988, the overall tone of the articles in these two newspapers become increasingly critical of the hazardous waste industry. These general patterns hold for both local papers, although differences exist and are discussed. It is concluded that the local media play an active role in defining social problems and in legitimizing established positions on controversial issues.

Conner Bailey and Svein Jentoft. 1990. "Hard Choices in Fisheries Development." Marine Policy 14(4):333-344.

Abstract: International agencies have experienced repeated failures in promoting fisheries development in Third World nations. A central problem is that projects often have been designed without consideration of the unique resource and institutional characteristics of fisheries. Ignoring these, fisheries projects typically have followed a production-oriented strategy that equates growth with development. Planners have failed to recognize the necessity of making difficult choices between increasing exports, increasing domestic fish supply, raising producers' incomes, and expanding employment opportunities in a fishery. These choices are fundamentally political and moral rather than technical and economic in nature because they involve considerations of equity and fairness. Choice of target beneficiaries and issues of organization and control are identified as factors influencing distributional equity.

Conner Bailey and Mike Skladany. 1990. "Aquaculture Development in Tropical Asia: A Re-Evaluation." Natural Resources Forum 15(1):66-73.

Abstract: Differences between inland and coastal aquacultural production systems in Asia are discussed in terms of market orientation, resource allocation and property rights, and scale of operations. The production of shrimp grown in coastal brackish water ponds has featured prominently in aquacultural development programmes in Asia. Emphasis placed on capital-intensive shrimp production for export, however, has distracted attention from the potential of inland freshwater aquaculture to generate employment opportunities for rural people and food production for domestic consumers. The paper concludes with a discussion of an alternative policy direction for promoting aquacultural development on a socially sound basis, recognizing the need to balance equity and human nutrition with profitability and foreign exchange earnings.

Conner Bailey and Charles E. Faupel. 1989. "Out of Sight is Not Out of Mind: Public Opposition to Ocean Incineration." Coastal Management 17:89-102.

Abstract: During the early 1980s, ocean incineration emerged as one of the hottest issues in the field of hazardous waste management. Ocean incineration involves the thermal destruction of liquid hazardous wastes on specially designed ships and was promoted by the Environmental Protection Agency and powerful industry groups as part of the solution to liquid hazardous waste disposal. Attempts to adopt ocean incineration led to heated debate and apparent defeat of efforts to introduce this technology. The arguments advanced by proponents and opponents are examined. Success of environmental groups opposed to ocean incineration is explained with reference to technical, environmental, socio-political, and legal factors. Ocean incineration, promoted as a solution to "not-in-my-backyard" opponents, instead ran afoul of region-wide opposition by coastal residents for whom the sea is a common backyard.

Charles E. Faupel and Conner Bailey. 1989. "Contingencies Affecting Emergency Planning for Hazardous Wastes." International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters 6(2):131-154.

Abstract: Through a case study of emergency preparedness activities at the largest hazardous waste landfill within the United States, located in Sumter County, Alabama, this article highlights three features which constrain such preparedness efforts: (1) the specialized nature of hazardous waste; (2) the politicization of the hazardous waste industry; and (3) jurisdictional dilemmas created by the merger of public and private roles in hazardous waste emergency preparedness. The article concludes with a discussion of policy implications for federal, state and local policymakers and implementers.

Conner Bailey. 1988. "Social Consequences of Tropical Shrimp Mariculture Development." Ocean and Shoreline Management 11:31-44.

Abstract: Tropical shrimp mariculture has become a focal point of coastal resource development over the past decade. Strong international demand, combined with static supplies of shrimp from capture fisheries, have made shrimp mariculture attractive to national leaders, international development agencies, and private sector entrepreneurs. In this paper the rapid development of shrimp mariculture over the past decade is briefly reviewed and the impact of this development on coastal ecosystems is discussed. The social consequences of shrimp mariculture development are examined with particular reference to resource allocation and property rights, the role of the state, and the marginalization of small-scale producers. The paper concludes with a discussion of alternative policies for promoting shrimp mariculture on a socially sound and sustainable basis.

Conner Bailey. 1988. "The Political Economy of Fisheries Development in the Third World." Agriculture & Human Values V (1&2):35-48.

Abstract: International agencies have contributed significantly to the promotion of capital-intensive fisheries development programs in many Third World nations. These programs are examined and shown to have certain common features, notably a production orientation involving introduction of powerful new fishing technologies, and the promotion of fishery exports. The argument is advanced that these programs have been largely detrimental to the best interests of recipient nations because they have ignored both resource limitations and the distributional consequences of such development. The perspective of political economy is used to examine the convergence of institutional and class interests that link national and international agencies in developing such programs. The result has been dualistic development that have skewed benefits towards a narrow urban elite. Rural small-scale fishers have been increasingly marginalized. Suggestions are offered by which international development agencies can play a constructive role in encouraging resource use patterns which are both biologically sustainable and socially just.

Conner Bailey, Dean Cycon, and Michael Morris. 1986. "Fisheries Development in the Third World: the Role of International Agencies." World Development 14(10):1269-1275.

Abstract: International development assistance agencies play an important role in the transfer of scientific and technical information. Inevitably, information, tools and processes are laden with values reflecting the culture and society of origin. Recipient developing nations do not necessarily share either the cultural values or the societal mechanisms which give rise to and make useful technologies developed in the West. This paper examines the impact of internationally sponsored development of Third World marine fisheries, where capital-intensive technological innovations (frequently oriented to export markets) have had a negative effect on small-scale fishers who comprise the vast majority of those employed in the fisheries sector. The argument is advanced that fisheries development efforts must be balanced by resource management policies which take into account traditional resource use rights of small-scale fishers.

Conner Bailey. 1982. "Economic Diversification and Risk Management: Constraints to the Adoption of Modern Rice Technologies in the Besut Agricultural Development Project Area." Kajian Ekonomi Malaysia [Economic Studies of Malaysia] XIX(1):1-15.

Abstract: Malay rice farmers are engaged in a multiplicity of economic activities beside producing rice. Such economic diversification is shown to represent a rational strategy both of risk minimization and income maximization. Agricultural development programs need to understand the range of activities that absorb time and capital resources available to farmers if they are to be of benefit. Research reported upon here was based on 12 months residence in a small rice farming community in Besut, Trengganu, Malaysia.
