this article discusses the state of public administration (pa) in nigeria. adapting the 2021 usaid higher education program framework, the article focuses on: (1) the ability of the field in nigeria to provide quality and relevant education and training, (2) the progress of pa scholars at nigerian universities in advancing knowledge through research, and (3) the engagement of scholars with local and

gun buyback programs (gbps), which use public funds to purchase civilians' privately‐owned firearms, aim to reduce gun violence. however, next to nothing is known about their effects on firearm‐related crime or deaths. using data from the national incident based reporting system, we find no evidence that gbps reduce gun crime. given our estimated null findings, with 95% confidence, we can rule out

property rights are a major issue in cities marked by armed conflict in the global south. this article draws on research conducted in bukavu, a city situated in the conflict-affected eastern part of the democratic republic of congo. using a relational theory of property and mixed methods, including 150 semi-structured interviews, surveys with 568 heads of households, case studies of land conflicts

researchers and policymakers assert competing behavioral models of polluters. one model portrays polluters as best approximated by the perfectly informed, rational actor from economics textbooks. another model portrays polluters, particularly small and medium facilities, as imperfectly informed, cognitively bounded, pro‐social actors. if this second model is more accurate, environmental programs that

research into the aesthetic preferences for natural landscapes and their health benefits has been extensively conducted. it is evident that plant landscapes not only influence the aesthetic judgments of the public but are also one of the primary factors affecting public health and well-being. nevertheless, a deeper understanding is required regarding how the attributes of urban forest plant landscapes

local government capacity gaps are primary barriers to implementing climate adaptation and disaster resilience projects. while over 85% of us municipalities have fewer than 10,000 people, the extent to which capacity restricts adaptation in rural governments is not understood. this research addresses that gap by developing a national rural capacity index using indicators that highlight challenges disproportionately

this paper examines how tax salience—or how aware individuals are of their property tax payments that finance local public services—correlates with citizens’ evaluation of their local government. drawing on theories of expectation formation for public services and fiscal illusion, we hypothesize that reduced tax salience is associated with lower normative expectations, which will correlate with increased

coordination between carrying capacity of water systems and socioeconomic development can effectively support orderly socioeconomic development. to comprehensively examine the interaction between socioeconomic development and water in the three gorges reservoir area (tgra), an assessment system of the water-carrying capacity (wcc) and land space pattern (lsp) was constructed. a coupling coordination

this study investigates how dissent and guerrilla government research shape theory and practice in public administration. the research takes a metasynthetic approach to a traditional systematic review by incorporating ethnographic methods to synthesize the state of the dissent and guerrilla government research. the findings suggest that dissent plays a critical role in the public sector, such as promoting

conservation agriculture (ca) can promote sustainable smallholder farming by improving yields, enhancing climate resilience and reducing the adverse environmental impact of production. although the economic dimensions of ca have been extensively studied, its contributions to social and environmental outcomes, such as labour demand and soil health, remain largely unexplored. this study investigates

securing land rights is a matter of documents but also a matter of institutions, governance, and processes. in madagascar, the land registration reform initiated in 2005 relies on ad hoc decentralized land offices at the commune level (clos). based on a processual analysis over a nearly 20 years span, we focus on the clos, as an intermediate governance body, to jointly study its technical, institutional

many are concerned about the large decline in k–12 student achievement since 2019. and rightly so, given what it signals about student learning and later life outcomes. less noted is the pre‐pandemic sustained decline in student achievement growth that followed more than 30 years of increases. we examine the nature of achievement decline as measured by national and state naep scores. our analysis suggests

conservation measures integrated into planning documents are designed for the protection and management of natural habitats. they are part of planning strategies for maintaining biodiversity and the functional connectivity of habitat networks. however, spatial planning strategies need to consider a wide range of socio-economic requirements in addition to biodiversity issues. this leads to a mismatch

this research investigates the configurations of openness and policy conditions influencing the implementation of environmental justice (ej) open government data (ogd) dashboards across u.s. states. ej dashboards represent a shift from a civic‐tech approach to ogd, which emphasizes the public release of vast amounts of data, to a problem‐centered approach where government agencies release and curate

in this article, we robustly show that the demographic dividend contributes to environmental degradation in africa. to achieve this, we specify a model and then estimate it using panel data collected over the period 1975–2021 from a sample of 44 african countries, using several econometric techniques: pooled mean group. robustness is tested using fixed and random effects methods and lewbell-2sls. our

how have advanced capitalist democracies transitioned from a fordist to a post‐fordist, knowledge‐based economy? and why have they followed seemingly similar policy trajectories despite different economic models and sectoral specializations? we develop the notion of skill‐biased policy change to answer these questions. drawing on a distinction between valence and partisan issues in the transition to

the 2008 global financial crisis (gfc) and the 2020 covid‐19 pandemic triggered large economic stimulus packages in most countries. while aimed primarily at saving the domestic economy from widespread bankruptcies and mass unemployment, these stimulus packages also offered governments windows of opportunity for pivoting toward decarbonization. drawing on a new dataset covering 40 of the world's largest

decades of scholarship exist on passive representation and visible identities such as gender, race, and ethnicity. however, literature on passive representation and invisible identities such as religion is practically non-existent in the public administration domain. drawing on survey data from 427 female civil servants representing 47 federal law enforcement agencies in the united states, this study

public preschool programs are heralded as an effective policy tool for promoting the development and lifelong well‐being of children from low‐income families. recent preschool evaluations report divergent findings that are consistently weaker than those of famous demonstration programs implemented in the mid‐20th century. we provide potential explanations for these weaker effects, the most compelling

allotment gardens are widespread across european cities and serve as much-needed green spaces generating positive environmental externalities. changing user preferences result in excessive built-up constructions and changing land use, that contradict the environmental aspects of allotment gardens. these create a breeding ground for flourishing, yet highly opaque, markets for allotment gardens, which

a new set of political corruption concepts is introduced, impervious corruption foremost among them. impervious corruption occurs when a corrupt political actor is unchecked by institutional guardians, giving the corrupt individual a sense of invulnerability. the resultant relationship between impervious corruption and deformation of democracy is then explained. the focus turns to president donald

attaining targets under the sustainable development goal (sdg) – 2 of no hunger by 2030 appears imminent. to deliver on the sdg −2, the government of ghana recently introduced the feed ghana programme (fgp). labour is important in production. however, the discourse on the interplay between multiple agricultural labour packages and its intersection with land in the production of food crops, especially

the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (ai) introduces significant uncertainty regarding its future applications and potential risks. what is the preferred regulatory approach when confronted with such uncertainty? to cope with uncertainty, people often screen information in a biased way, consistent with their own prior beliefs and predispositions. heuristics such as trust and affect are likely

many climate change mitigation policies face public opposition, especially when they impose visible costs on households and are perceived as unfairly regressive. this country‐comparative study examines specific social policy instruments that may help build public support for increasing fossil fuel taxes in europe. using multilevel modeling with data from the european social survey and the social policy

nature-based solutions (nbs) have been adopted globally to address a range of societal and environmental issues. a significant proportion of nbs schemes are specifically designed for urban water management and fall under the umbrella of sustainable drainage systems (suds) and blue-green infrastructure (bgi). despite being widely recognised as a preferred choice over ‘grey’ infrastructure across policy

this article introduces and conceptualizes the notion of malignity in policy sciences, examining how public policies can become misaligned with the public interest—whether by design or through the dynamics of the policy process. the special issue underscores the urgent need to reintegrate normative and ethical considerations into policy design, analysis, and implementation. in the context of democratic

significant areas of agricultural land have been abandoned globally since the 20th century. although extensive research exists on the drivers of agricultural land abandonment, patterns vary across regions, necessitating site-specific studies to assist in the detection of broader-scale patterns. this paper evaluates how socio-economic and environmental factors influenced decisions of small-scale farmers

the rapid pace of urbanization has resulted in many leftover spaces in cities globally. these spaces come in various types and present shortcomings on multiple facets, which simultaneously provide unique advantages for diverse social groups for different activities and purposes. to harness these spaces’ potential and reinforce citizens’ rights to the city, urban planners have proposed several revitalization

the common agricultural policy (cap) 2023–2027 introduces stringent sustainability requirements, reshaping land use and influencing crop planning and economic outcomes for european farmers. this study examines the impact of recent cap reforms on farmland allocation and related implications on farm profitability, in a sample of highly specialized cereal farms located in intensive agricultural areas

this article models the land marke in the amazon, focusing on pará, by examining deforestation as the process of producing land-without-forest. it analyzes supply and demand formation and dynamics through two segmentations: first, based on context determing price differences between land-with-forest and land-without-forest; second, based on the productive conditions of land-demanding structures. the

current u.s. law mandates notification of substance‐affected infants to state child welfare systems (cws) for the purpose of assessment and service connections. yet, cws appears to identify a small share of substance‐affected infants at birth, potentially reflecting inconsistent diagnosis of prenatal substance exposure (pse) and emerging efforts to limit toxicology testing. this study uses linked maternal

in this article, we argue that in order to better understand how policy advisory systems (pas) have evolved during the 21st century, we need to reframe consideration of their nature. this requires recognizing that what could previously be relatively precisely described as a highly institutionalized system of advice provision is now often a hybrid, where the weight of institutionalized sources of advice

many perspectives have been offered on what induces policy failures, which have been numerously called malignity, policy volatility, ill-intentioned policy behavior, abuse of public authority, prioritizing the interests of specific influential or identity interests, subverting policy goals and targets, and rent-seeking. such a dark side of policy design is seen in india’s rollout of decentralization

the vltava river is one of the most both physically and culturally significant rivers in czechia. especially since the mid-19th century, the landscape of the vltava river has witnessed transformations, most of which occurred during the modern period and were connected with the gradual construction of a set of large dams, currently known as the so-called vltava cascade. although the topic of the construction

do populist politicians increase the number of political appointments when they assume power? while the existing literature identifies politicization and political appointments as leading populist strategies, empirical evidence remains limited. given the elusive nature of political appointments, it is challenging to assess their true extent in various contexts. our research highlights how exemptions

the literature remains mixed on the extent to which medical malpractice reforms affect physician overuse of procedures (i.e., “defensive medicine”). we bring new evidence to this discourse by examining a recent reform in north carolina that introduced caps on noneconomic damages. we focus on a setting where malpractice risk is high and service intensity is strongly subject to physicians’ discretion:

we study how prices respond when a 25% gross receipts tax remitted by cannabis manufacturers was eliminated in washington state and the retail excise tax was simultaneously increased from 25% to 37%. standard theory suggests that this change should have increased welfare for manufacturers, retailers, and consumers; instead, our analysis shows that the reform unexpectedly shifted benefits toward manufacturers

whistleblowing in private and public sector organizations has gained momentum in the last decade. most theories seeking to explain why some employees report wrongdoings largely disregard the interaction between the cognitive and emotional components of this decision. our article addresses this gap in the literature and proposes a theoretical model that was initially developed in cognitive psychology

the current policy for evaluating protected areas is static and greatly limited, as it fails to account for mid-term to long-term decadal climate change impacts on species protection and ecosystem services. here we employed an integrated multi-model framework combining system dynamics, land use simulation (plus), ecosystem service valuation (invest), species distribution modeling (biomod2), and conservation

the rationalization of corruption allows individuals to detach from moral imperatives, enabling them to perceive unethical or unlawful actions as acceptable or justifiable. closely linked to the concept of moral disengagement, rationalization involves cognitive distortions that frame inhumane or immoral behavior as neither wrong nor inconsistent with the agent's values. despite its conceptual significance

education equips individuals with valuable skills to protect them against employment risks associated with the digital transition. as scholars debate whether vocational education and training (vet) or general education better insures against technology‐induced employment risk, we ask how this type of risk, as perceived by individuals, shapes their education preferences. our analyses, based on a survey

developments in the policy advisory systems (pas) literature demonstrate how the traditional models designating key roles for internal public service actors have given way to include a greater diversity of external nongovernmental actors in advice provision. this is reflected in how sustained politicization and externalization trends impact pas organization and actors’ influence, resulting in a more
