      • Research Outputs &
        Interests

        Dr Juntti's research focusses on environmental governance, with particular attention to representation of humans and nature, the interplay of expert and lay knowledge and the processes through which evidence is recruited into governance. Her aim is to provide guidance for more effective and legitimate environmental policy.

        Empirically, Dr Juntti's research has focussed on the EU’s agricultural and rural development policies and the UN Convention on Combatting Desertification. She has also undertaken research in the Brazilian context, examining the role of environmental policy in delivering socially just outcomes in disadvantaged urban contexts.
