“…Case studies reviewed include, for example, work on social networks as part of rural livelihood strategies (Kadigi et al 2007, Torkelsson 2007, Nygren and MyattHirvonen 2009, Ekblom 2012, Rindfuss et al 2012, Goulden et al 2013, Baird and Gray 2014, recovery from climate risks (Bosher et al 2007, Rotberg 2010, Islam and Walkerden 2014, 2015, climate-change adaptation (Scheffran et al 2012), and sustainable resource management (Downey 2010, Zimmerer 2014, Abizaid et al 2015, Katikiro et al 2015, Orchard et al 2015.…”

“…Even studies not explicitly addressing resilience share the conceptualization of networks as coping strategy in times of need (Kadigi et al 2007, Torkelsson 2007, Nygren and Myatt-Hirvonen 2009, Rindfuss et al 2012, Gallego and Mendola 2013, Lyle and Smith 2014, Abizaid et al 2015, Katikiro et al 2015 and hence refer to particular aspects of resilience. Unlike studies focusing on governance and innovation, studies on social support more frequently take a community perspective conceiving of social networks as a means for communities to deal with external shocks and risks (Cassidy and Barnes 2012, Ekblom 2012, Baird and Gray 2014, Islam and Walkerden 2014, 2015 (Scheffran et al 2012, Gallego and Mendola 2013, Zimmerer 2014).…”

“…Unlike literature on agricultural innovations and governance, few studies in this strand build on the notion of networks functioning as pipes for the exchange of different types of support (Rindfuss et al 2012, da Costa et al 2013, Zimmerer 2014, Abizaid et al 2015, Katikiro et al 2015 or as a form of coordination (Downey 2010).…”

“…Descriptive approaches, characterizing social networks according to the nature of the ties involved, account for the majority. Metaphorical approaches that refer to either the existence or the decline of social networks as an explanatory variable of resilience are more frequent than in other strands (Kadigi et al 2007, Ekblom 2012, Scheffran et al 2012, da Costa et al 2013, Zimmerer 2014, Katikiro et al 2015. Structurally explicit approaches, drawing on methods of SNA (Downey 2010, Cassidy and Barnes 2012, Lyle and Smith 2014, Abizaid et al 2015, Orchard et al 2015 are more frequent than in the strand of agricultural innovation but less frequent than in the governance strand.…”

“…Frequently addressed characteristics include tie reciprocity and tie strength, the latter being operationalized either as bonding ties of kinship and bridging ties of neighborhood and friendship (Islam andWalkerden 2014, 2015), or as bonding ties within the community and bridging ties to actors outside the community (Rotberg 2010, Baird and Gray 2014, Islam and Walkerden 2014, 2015, Orchard et al 2015. Compared to other strands, there is a stronger focus on network context, including social institutions and socioeconomic changes (Torkelsson 2007, Nygren and MyattHirvonen 2009, Baird and Gray 2014, Katikiro et al 2015, Orchard et al 2015. Structurally explicit studies focus on structural characteristics such as density, hierarchy, and the centrality of particular households (Downey 2010, Cassidy and Barnes 2012, Lyle and Smith 2014, Orchard et al 2015.…”

ABSTRACT. In the last decades, a growing scholarship has outlined the crucial role of social networks as a source of resilience. However, with regard to the Global South, the role of social networks for the resilience of rural communities remains an underresearched and underconceptualized issue, because research remains scattered between different strands and has rarely been integrated from a resilience perspective. To provide common ground for the exchange between disciplines and to identify steps towards a more comprehensive social network perspective on the resilience of rural communities in the Global South, we present a systematic review of contemporary case studies from three strands of research: (i) natural resource management, (ii) agricultural innovation, and (iii) social support. Although studies in each strand have their own particular strengths and weaknesses in addressing aspects of the resilience of rural communities in the Global South, they all share a static view of the outcomes of social networks, tend to emphasize structure over agency, and neglect spatial dimensions of social relations. To address these challenges, we propose a translocal social network perspective on resilience that views rural communities as being embedded in social networks that connect people and facilitate the flow of resources, information, and knowledge between places.

Billfish species (families Istiophoridae and Xiphiidae) are caught in artisanal, recreational, and commercial fisheries throughout the Western Indian Ocean region. However, data and information on the interactions among these fisheries and the ecology of billfish in the WIO are not well understood. Using an in-depth analysis of peer-reviewed articles, grey literature, observation studies, and authors’ insider knowledge, we summarize the current state of knowledge on billfish fisheries in 10 countries. To describe historical and current trends, we examined fisheries statistics from governmental and non-governmental agencies, sportfishing clubs’ reports, diaries of sportfishing captains, and the catch and effort databases of the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission. We highlight two key points. First, billfish fisheries in the Western Indian Ocean are highly diverse, comprising two distinct segments—coastal and oceanic. However, data are poor for most countries with significant gaps in information especially for sport and artisanal fisheries. Second, the evidence assembled showed that billfish species have immense social, cultural, and economic value. Swordfish are targeted by both large-scale and semi-industrial fisheries, while other billfish species, particularly marlin, are highly sought after by sport fisheries in most countries. Our paper provides a comprehensive review of billfish fisheries and available information in the context of the WIO underscoring the need to strengthen data collection and reporting, citizen science, and collaborative sustainable development and management of billfish.
