Thinking about publishing with us? We have changed our article length to 8,000-10,000 words (excluding references). With this, we hope manuscript shortening does not necessitate cutting down references, which often leads to fewer citations for junior scholars. Click here to submit bit.ly/4h17woZ

Excited to see our article published in CJIR! In it, we explore affective-discursive dynamics driving farmers’ protests against new agri-environmental regulations in the EU, offering insights into the intricate role of farmers’ in climate governance 🌿
