T2 - Review of Public Personnel Administration AB - Applying the six-factor model of organizational justice, this study examines the relationship between disputants’ (i.e., grievants and respondents) perceptions of organizational justice and satisfaction with workplace mediation. Using secondary data, collected postmediation from participants in the (former) North Carolina Department of Correction’s (DOC) mediation process, the findings show that perceptions of organizational justice and mediation satisfaction are high for both grievants and, especially, respondents. Logistic regression results find statistically significant relationships between mediation satisfaction and three factors of organizational justice—distributive justice, procedural justice–process, and disputant–disputant interpersonal justice—as well as unexpected results for procedural justice–mediator and disputant–mediator interpersonal justice.

AU - Lane, Elizabeth A. AU - Armaly, Miles T. T2 - Journal of Law and Courts AB - Abstract US Supreme Court confirmation hearings provide senators with an opportunity to engage a potential justice on a nationwide stage. Senators probe for information about future behavior on the bench. Nominees work through the questions, oscillating between forthcoming and vague responses. Such behavior encourages popular narratives that characterize this intricate dance as a “vapid and hollow charade.” We challenge this wisdom and argue that senators use these hearings to provide meaningful representation to their constituents while simultaneously supporting copartisan efforts regarding the nominee. We examine the exchanges in 185 senator-nominee pairings that span nearly 30 years of confirmation hearings. Our results show that senators from both parties increase their question-asking activity during divided government, when confirmation success is more dubious. Senators from the president’s party ask fewer questions when their constituents support the nominee, however, suggesting that popular support can attenuate this general effect for senators expecting a successful confirmation.

T2 - International Journal of Public Administration AB - Cultural aspects of organizations have been perceived as keys to creating desirable organizational performance in pursuit of an effective government. Particularly, organizational learning culture may enable individuals to learn from each other allowing them to feel free to create creative ideas and transfer knowledge. This study examines whether organizational learning culture is associated with organizational performance through the mediating effect of employee empowerment. Using the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey data, the findings show that having organizational culture more conducive to learning is indirectly and positively associated with perceived performance. The study supports that empowerment is an important mediator elucidating the positive association between learning culture and performance.

Evidence From the EEO Discrimination Complaint Process AU - Choi, Iseul T2 - The American Review of Public Administration AB - Contracting out has been considered one of the main performance management strategies to reduce costs and bring more expertise to government agencies. However, there is a lack of research assessing the performance of contractors compared with that of in-house agency employees, when both contractors and public employees deliver complex services. This study examines whether or not contracting achieves better performance in democratic-constitutional, procedural (DCP) tasks compared with in-house delivery, by analyzing contracting use in the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) discrimination complaint process. Using agency-level panel data from the Federal EEO Statistical Report of Discrimination Complaints, combined with data from the Federal Procurement Data System and the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, the study offers evidence resolving the competing logics for a relationship between contracting use and performance in DCP tasks. The findings show that an increase in contracting is associated with a decrease in timely completion of case investigations, which is a key measure of DCP task performance.

AU - Osei-Kojo, Alex AU - Lamiotte, Megan T2 - Journal of Public Health Management and Practice AB - Despite attention to federal and state governments' response to the US opioid crisis, few studies have systematically examined local governments' role in tackling this problem.To determine what opioid policy and programmatic activities local governments are implementing, which activities are more challenging and require a greater latent ability to implement, and what community, environmental, and institutional factors shape such ability.A cross-sectional survey and multistage sampling procedure.Of all 358 county governments in 5 purposively selected states (Colorado, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Washington) surveyed, 171 counties (response rate = 47.8%) with complete data on self-reported policy and programmatic activities and predictor variables were eligible for analysis.Nineteen opioid policy and programmatic activities were analyzed individually and combined into a latent implementation ability index using empirical Bayes means estimates.Item response theory and bivariate analysis were applied. Item response theory estimates suggested that having police officers carry naloxone and establishing a task force of community leaders were easier to implement than more challenging activities such as establishing needle exchanges and allowing arrest alternatives for opioid offenses. Covering individuals' treatment costs was predicted to involve the highest ability. County population size (r = 0.34; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.20-0.47), population density (r = 0.35; 95% CI, 0.21-0.47), and being a Pennsylvania county (r = 0.45; 95% CI, 0.32-0.56) showed the strongest associations with latent implementation ability.Counties appear engaged in opioid policy and programmatic activity, although some activities are likely more difficult and may require greater ability to implement than others. More sparsely populated counties appear more disadvantaged in implementing activities for tackling the opioid crisis and may need additional assistance to leverage their ability to build a comprehensive policy and programmatic infrastructure.

The findings indicate that airports operated by general-purpose governments (i.e., city, county, or state governments) are more likely to deploy solar PV than airports operated by special-purpose governments (i.e., port or airport authorities). Airports more involved in the professional associations (e.g., the American Association of Airport Executives) are also more likely to deploy solar PV, but this relationship is stronger for special-purpose airports. Additionally, airport solar PV is less likely to appear in the service area of cooperatives than in the service area of investor-owned utilities. These findings help policymakers understand how airport governance, utility ownership, and involvement in professional associations may promote or hinder renewable energy transitions at airports and other large publicly used properties.

AU - Hatch, Megan E. T2 - State and Local Government Review AB - The U.S. emergency and disaster response system is designed to operate bottom-up, meaning responses are intended to begin at the local level with state and federal governments stepping in to assist as needed. The response to the current COVID-19 outbreak, however, has been something else entirely, as each level of government competes with the others over resources and authority. Some states preferred a local response with state support, while other states took a more uniform, state-mandated response enabled by state preemption of local actions. The latter has revealed an often-dormant means of state preemption of local ordinances: the executive order preemption. Local government managers will have to be creative in balancing responsiveness to their constituents in this time of crisis while also being constrained by their states. The administrative choices are likely to have both immediate and long-term consequences for future emergencies.

AU - Llorens, Jared J. T2 - The Public Affairs Faculty Manual AB - Graduate programs of public affairs, policy, and administration operate in an increasingly turbulent environment. Facing challenges related to resources, technology, viability, and legitimacy, this chapter argues it is imperative that public affairs programs adopt strategic approaches to defining mission, guiding decision-making, and meeting stakeholder expectations. This argument is bolstered by the NASPAA accreditation standards for graduate programs, which entail strategic program planning and management as requirements for accreditation. After establishing its importance, the chapter offers public affairs program directors practical guidance on the major components of strategic planning, including analyzing stakeholder expectations, reviewing the program’s mission, developing program strategies, and closing the loop through assessment and revision. The chapter concludes with a summary of the role strategic planning plays in building and maintaining high-quality, impactful public affairs programs.

Parenthood and gun policy attitudes AU - Greene, Steven AU - Deckman, Melissa AU - Elder, Laurel AU - Lizotte, Mary-Kate T2 - Journal of Elections, Public Opinion and Parties AB - The idea that motherhood primes women to support stronger gun control policy permeates our contemporary politics. Motherhood shapes views on a variety of issues, but the question remains whether mothers hold distinctive views on gun control policies relative to their non-parent peers. We draw on 2017 Pew Research Center data to explore the ways gender, parenthood, and race intersect to shape attitudes on gun policy in the post-Sandy Hook era when gun violence has become prominently linked with schools and children, and during a time when the Black Lives Matter movement has drawn national attention to the relationship of gun violence and racial inequality. Most notably, we find that contemporary depictions of mothers as a distinctively pro-gun control constituency are largely inaccurate. The very real gender gap in gun policy attitudes appears to be falsely attributed to motherhood, rather than gender. We also find very little impact of parenthood for men. Finally, we generally fail to see much relationship between race, parenthood, and gun attitudes. Overall, despite common belief and media reporting to the contrary, the story is very much one where parenthood seems to play little role in gun policy attitudes.

AU - Olander, Lydia P. AU - Grala, Robert K. AU - Galik, Christopher S. AU - Gordon, Jason S. T2 - ECOSYSTEM SERVICES AB - Large landscape conservation planning often requires managers to coordinate with private landowners, especially in regions like the southern and western U.S. where private landownership dominates. It is often difficult to design conservation programs that incorporate varying landowner perceptions, values, and ownership objectives. Simple and transferable methods are needed to inform the design of landscape-scale conservation and restoration programs, and we propose that this can be done by targeting ecosystem services (ES) of interest to private landowners. Targeting multiple ecosystem benefits can identify areas that provide cost-effective conservation investments. The approach described here consists of three complementary steps: mapping potential ES provision, assessing landowner interest in these ES, and determining which institutions are most effective for engaging landowners. We integrate these three streams of information to identify areas where landowner and conservation priorities align with ES benefits, and where interaction with familiar organizations is likely increase landowner engagement in conservation practices. Though we applied the approach to a landscape in the U.S., the methods are designed to be transferable to other regions.

T2 - JOURNAL OF PUBLIC AND NONPROFIT AFFAIRS AB - The outbreak of COVID—19 has raised considerable alarm about public health and safety. The response to the outbreak, however, has also brought concern regarding its impact on local governments in the United States. Local governments have been a primary respondent in the fight against the COVID—19 disease, but the response has also reduced income from a key source of revenue, sales tax. Using North Carolina counties as a case study, we explore the shock to sales and use tax revenue faced by local governments from COVID—19; we, then, estimate its impact on county fiscal health. Our results show that while many local governments were financially struggling before the outbreak, the drop in sales tax revenue severely threatens their ability to provide continued response to the virus as well as their ability to remain solvent.

In this study, we address this gap by adopting a network domain perspective in combination with social network analysis technique to examine both internal and external stakeholder assessments of network’s symbolic performance. Examining a case where multiple networks exist in one county who all focused on the health domain, the study aims to test competing hypotheses built upon institutional theory and strategic management literature on the relationship between network isomorphism and networks’ symbolic performance. Our findings aim to contribute to both the public network literature as well as advance institutional theory within networked environments.

Individual author biographies can be found on the project website: https://openenergyoutlook.org/. Many nations have committed to mitigating climate change by designing and implementing policy solutions that enable deep decarbonization of their energy systems. Due to global reliance on fossil fuels, appropriate action requires fundamental and coordinated changes in the way societies generate and use energy. Policy makers face the monumental challenge of crafting effective energy and climate policy in the face of a highly uncertain future. The stakes are high because energy infrastructure often involves large, up-front investments in long-lived assets. Macro-energy system models, which are distinguished from other energy models by their energetic, temporal, and spatial scales,1Levi P.J. Kurland S.D. Carbajales-Dale M. Weyant J.P. Brandt A.R.

Macro-Energy Systems: Toward a New Discipline.Joule. 2019; 3: 2282-2286Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (29) Google Scholar provide a systematic way to examine future decarbonization pathways, evaluate technology choices, test the effects and consequences of proposed policies, and explore decisions under future uncertainty. Analyses using these models yield critical insights that inform energy and climate policymaking around the world and underpin influential reports, including the World Energy Outlook by the International Energy Agency,2International Energy AgencyWorld Energy Outlook 2019.https://www.iea.org/reports/world-energy-outlook-2019Date: 2019Google Scholar the Annual Energy Outlook by the US Energy Information Administration,3US Energy Information AdministrationAnnual Energy Outlook 2020.https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/Date: 2020Google Scholar the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,4Hoegh-Guldberg, O., Jacob, D., Bindi, M., Brown, S., Camilloni, I., Diedhiou, A., Djalante, R., Ebi, K., Engelbrecht, F., Guiot, J., and Hijioka, Y.

It is an ongoing challenge for macro-energy system modeling teams to meet the universal and unprecedented policy needs associated with climate change mitigation. We envision a paradigm shift in the process of conducting model-based analysis from single-institution modeling teams to distributed, collaborative teams, allowing access to a much wider array of disciplinary and domain expertise to inform a given analysis. While some European efforts are already moving in this direction, the potential for collaborative, model-based analysis has yet to be realized. Energy system models vary considerably in their scope and complexity, and the choice of model should always be based on the research questions driving the analysis.5DeCarolis J. Daly H. Dodds P. Keppo I. Li F. McDowall W. Pye S. Strachan N. Trutnevyte E. Usher W. Winning M. Formalizing best practice for energy system optimization modelling.Appl. Energy. 2017; 194: 184-198Crossref Scopus (159) Google Scholar Here, we focus attention on employing macro-energy system models that cover the whole energy system and are used to inform policy at scales ranging from national to global. In this broadest macro-scale context, the boundaries of the modeled systems present numerous challenges for modeling deep decarbonization pathways. First, many supply- and demand-side technologies at varying stages of development could help decarbonize energy systems. Many of these technologies are novel (e.g., direct air capture and hydrogen-based steel production), have rapidly changing costs (e.g., solar photovoltaics, lithium-ion batteries, and electrolyzers), or have location-specific attributes (e.g., heat pumps and wind farms). These qualities make the projection of technology cost and performance characteristics over the multi-decade timescale of deep decarbonization very challenging. Second, the many decision makers across the energy system, each with their own objectives and preferences, make it difficult to model technology uptake, behavioral change, and public acceptance. Third, there is a need for modeling with high spatiotemporal resolution and multiple years of weather data in order to properly represent high penetrations of renewables with energy storage and other options for flexibility, since the modeled spatial variation in resource availability and temporal variation in supply and demand can have a significant impact on results. Fourth, policy-relevant insights should account for key underlying uncertainties affecting the modeled energy system. Neglecting any of these four challenges can lead to oversimplified model representations of the energy system with misleading conclusions; yet, including them increases model complexity, data requirements, and computational burden. Resolving this tension, given available resources, is difficult. Addressing the technical challenges of modeling decarbonization pathways requires considerable coordination of effort and broad domain expertise. When the effort is centralized at a single institution, institutional and governance structures can limit its effectiveness. Energy system modeling efforts housed within a single research group can suffer from a limited breadth of expertise. At the other extreme, some of the oldest and most established energy system models have been produced by government agencies and intergovernmental organizations that have the scale to draw on deep internal expertise across the energy system, but model-based analyses produced by these organizations can be subject to political considerations that limit the range of technologies or policies they will consider. In addition, commercial modeling efforts often rely on proprietary models and data that are not available to the broader expert community or interested stakeholders and therefore result in outcomes that cannot be easily reproduced and scientifically verified. To help address these shortcomings, distributed modeling teams can utilize existing open-source models, datasets, and tools to conduct collaborative, model-based analysis. Open-source efforts in the macro-energy space have proliferated over the last decade, and the resultant models, tools, and datasets serve as an important foundation for distributed modeling efforts because they enable transparency, accessibility, and replicability among team members and with the broader modeling community. Distributed efforts focused on model-based analysis allow for the flexible arrangement of teams to conduct different macro-energy modeling exercises, with each team configured to meet project-specific research objectives. The flexible arrangement of teams, in turn, means that specific modeling efforts can include participants with different disciplinary backgrounds and domain expertise who contribute to the diversity of ideas that can be explored in the analysis. The collective consideration of those ideas better reflects the system being modeled. For example, participants with a background in public policy, public administration, or economics can assist with the formulation, execution, and interpretation of more realistic policy scenarios, informed by debates and discussions in their respective communities. Modeling teams with collectively broad expertise across a range of issues and disciplines permit a more comprehensive analysis of the technical, social, economic, and policy features of deep decarbonization pathways, which are difficult to encode in models. In fact, all team members need not write code—the purposeful inclusion of non-modelers can lead to new insights and approaches associated with the model-based analysis.6Trutnevyte E. Hirt F.L. Bauer N. Cherp A. Hawkes A. Edelenbosch O.Y. Pedde S. van Vuuren D.P. Societal transformations in models for energy and climate policy: The ambitious next step.One Earth. 2019; 1: 423-433Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (52) Google Scholar Diverse teams participating across the full project life cycle—from the formulation of key research questions, to the decision on how to represent a particular concept quantitatively, and then to the interpretation of model results as policy-relevant insights—can more effectively capture and assimilate novel ideas compared to conventional system modeling approaches that seek feedback at the end of the project or at discrete points during the project life cycle. These insights and ideas can range widely and may include the identification and proper use of a new dataset, a new model feature that captures a system dynamic critical to the issue under analysis, or the use of more efficient algorithms or methods that improve computational performance. Modeling teams that lack the appropriate depth and breadth are less able to effectively search, select, and incorporate new ideas from the broader macro-energy idea space into the analysis. Model parsimony should also be a design objective in order to avoid needless complexity,5DeCarolis J. Daly H. Dodds P. Keppo I. Li F. McDowall W. Pye S. Strachan N. Trutnevyte E. Usher W. Winning M. Formalizing best practice for energy system optimization modelling.Appl. Energy. 2017; 194: 184-198Crossref Scopus (159) Google Scholar and thus, distributed modeling teams must judiciously filter new ideas for incorporation into the analysis. Furthermore, the expanding scope enabled by distributed teams must be balanced with limited time, funding, and computational resources. The European Union is already pioneering a distributed and collaborative approach under the €80 billion Horizon 2020 research and innovation program. Projects such as SET-NAV (https://www.set-nav.eu/), openENTRANCE (https://openentrance.eu/), SENTINEL (https://sentinel.energy/), Spine (http://www.spine-model.org/), and EMP-E (http://www.energymodellingplatform.eu/) involve large teams variously working to integrate different models into larger frameworks, solicit input from a wide array of stakeholders, and perform model-based analysis that informs European energy and climate policy. The European Union is uniquely positioned to lead such efforts, given its ambitious energy-climate policy portfolio, well-funded scientific research programs, and ambitions for pan-national integration. While many other nations and regions—including the US—cannot easily replicate the top-down European approach without a significant change in policy priorities, we nonetheless assert that it is possible for researchers to organize similar efforts from the bottom up by leveraging existing resources within the scientific community. While distributed efforts focused on model-based analysis present unique logistical challenges, they also provide the flexibility to organize teams that capture diverse domain expertise and disciplinary approaches. All of the necessary elements exist to coordinate distributed model-based analysis: open-source energy models, well-established software development tools, a wide range of collaborative communication tools, and an increasing number of publicly available datasets on which to build. First, the open energy modeling initiative (“openmod”), an active and vibrant community of energy modelers committed to open-source practices, has cataloged a large array of open-source models7Openmod InitiativeOpen Models.https://wiki.openmod-initiative.org/wiki/Open_ModelsDate: 2020Google Scholar and helped to promulgate best practice standards for model developers that include licensing, documentation, reproducibility, and user support.8DeCarolis J.F.

Energy system modeling: Public transparency, scientific reproducibility, and open development.Energy Strategy Reviews. 2018; 20: 49-63Crossref Scopus (52) Google Scholar Second, many energy modelers are using modern software development tools, which enable distributed control of code and data, with changes archived in publicly accessible web repositories. Third, a variety of communication options, including traditional email, cloud-based collaboration platforms, and videoconferencing software, make it possible for distributed teams to collaborate on highly technical issues in near-real time and at low cost. These modes of communication have indeed become an increasingly familiar part of our lives given how the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted normal meeting patterns. In addition, social media represents a particularly effective way to crowdsource new ideas and approaches from the broader stakeholder community. Fourth, the volume of available data to populate energy models has grown over time and can be used to better parameterize models. The challenge, however, is that modelers are not aware of all relevant datasets, particularly those curated outside of the energy modeling community, nor do they always understand the underlying assumptions and limitations. Diversity in expertise among the modeling team can help ensure the proper identification and use of such datasets. In the long run, by using open-source tools and drawing on the expertise of non-modelers who are typically disconnected from the modeling process, distributed modeling teams may counteract the “incumbency advantage” of “long-lived and dominant” energy models12Strachan N. Fais B. Daly H. Reinventing the energy modelling–policy interface.Nat. Energy. 2016; 1: 1-3Crossref Google Scholar by helping redefine the way energy models operate. We view this approach as a critical element in the reinvention of the modeling-policy interface.12Strachan N. Fais B. Daly H. Reinventing the energy modelling–policy interface.Nat. Energy. 2016; 1: 1-3Crossref Google Scholar As with any new approach, there will be attendant challenges. Macro-energy modeling efforts face the same funding and coordination challenges confronted by other large scientific endeavors. Funding challenges are more logistically difficult with teams spanning multiple institutions. There is no single solution: financial arrangements will necessarily be a product of the funding agency, team composition, and objectives of the analysis. While there may be circumstances where funding can be equitably distributed among all participants, there might be other times when one or two lead organization(s) take the bulk of the responsibility, with smaller support grants and in-kind contributions from other members of the distributed team. Furthermore, funding need not always be a requirement for participation: limited but strategic input from a broad constellation of team members delivered at the right time in the process can have a large, positive impact on the direction of the project. While the Stanford Energy Modeling Forum (https://emf.stanford.edu/) is focused on inter-model comparison, its long-term success demonstrates that participants are willing to contribute their time, often without financial compensation, in return for the opportunity to collaborate with others and produce new scholarly research. Another challenge is the incentive structure within academia. It takes significant upfront effort to establish a common language and align project goals among team members from different academic disciplines. In addition, receiving credit for work completed is an important aspect of scholarly work. Credit often takes the form of co-authorship on reports and journal articles, and it is important to track the contributions of team members to ensure their efforts are recognized in an appropriate way, commensurate with their own institutional and disciplinary incentive structures. Furthermore, academic institutions should formally recognize the effort required to develop the open-source models, tools, and datasets that underpin the model-based analysis. The CRediT taxonomy, used by this publisher (https://www.cell.com/pb/assets/raw/shared/guidelines/CRediT-taxonomy.pdf), provides an excellent way to track the various contributions to distributed macro-energy modeling efforts. New modeling efforts that leverage these emerging opportunities can fulfill a unique niche within the global energy modeling community. We have begun to see the benefits of such an approach in our own effort to develop an Open Energy Outlook for the US (https://openenergyoutlook.org/). In addition to using an open-source modeling platform to perform the analysis (https://temoacloud.com/), we have established an interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral team of experts who are working collaboratively on the project with a unified vision. Our international team involves a number of experts drawn from academia, non-profits, and government labs and includes both experienced macro-energy system modelers and domain experts. Funding is distributed across two institutions that have primary responsibility for the deliverables, while participants from the remaining 20+ institutions make in-kind contributions of their time to the effort. Our project has a fraction of the funding associated with the large European efforts referenced above, and thus relies heavily on our collective interest in the project objectives and the opportunity to collaboratively produce scholarly work. Because participants are already working in related areas, they are able to leverage ongoing research activities and resources for this project. Our current team is meant to be a starting point for this long-term effort. Just as open-source tools foster collaborative development, democratization of the team building process can ensure a greater diversity of perspectives and make the effort more adaptable to new challenges. To this end, we are currently working on a formal and open nomination process for team membership. In addition, we are building a broader network of contributors to the project, and have sought input through a variety of online outlets, including social media, virtual workshops, and mailing lists. While still in the early stages, the project has already benefited from the diverse perspectives of the participants. For example, the electricity experts have pushed for a novel approach to increase the model’s temporal resolution while maintaining computational tractability and also identified opportunities to leverage existing open-source tools (https://github.com/gschivley/PowerGenome) and datasets (https://github.com/catalyst-cooperative/pudl). Likewise, the building experts are pushing the project to consider building thermodynamics more explicitly in order to better represent building thermal performance. The value here is bidirectional: systems modelers gain more familiarity with tools and data within particular sectors, while domain experts gain a better understanding of how their expertise can influence long-term energy scenarios. If done well, such an approach allows us to rethink and redefine common modeling approaches, potentially leading to innovative methods that result in new insights that are rigorously grounded by careful consideration of how the energy system—and all its myriad connections and feedbacks—is modeled. We would like to thank the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation for supporting this work. We also thank the two anonymous reviewers whose detailed and insightful feedback significantly strengthened the manuscript.

Both thinkers maintain that a firmly held set of religious beliefs must ground the popular mores, or character traits, that support liberty. According to most scholars, Locke considers popular enlightenment the best means for promoting these beliefs. I argue, however, that Locke mistrusts intellectual freedom and seeks to use authority to promote the core doctrines of reasonable Christianity, which is his preferred faith. I also compare Locke’s version of religious foundationalism with Tocqueville’s more well-known case for this concept and show how Tocqueville modifies reasonable Christianity to strengthen it against democratic skepticism. I conclude by briefly reflecting on the weakening of America’s religious foundations today and on what this portends for the future.

T2 - Vestnik RUDN. International Relations AB - The world faces a strategic challenge of reforming the governance basis of international politics, which is displaying the symptoms of significant destabilization, searching for new ways of crafting nuanced equilibria of interests and capacity at the global, regional, and domestic levels. Developing intricate and adaptable formulas to manage individual facets of international engagement is becoming increasingly complex and volatile. The effects of instability vary in different countries, but the global operational and political space is increasingly determined by problems within countries, where external stress becomes a result of domestic discrepancies, aggravating them and producing a set of contradictions. In the context of profound global transformations, what explains Russia’s status and positioning in the world? This article argues that as states are struggling to adapt to new realities and acquire capabilities in an effort to survive or gain more influence, Russia’s standing will depend on how adequately it can respond to the challenges and how effectively it will be able to use its advantages. Russia should not simply take in the results of global turbulence, but rather employ and actively develop areas of leadership and collaboration, by tying foreign policy firmly to the priorities of domestic development. While Russia conducts an active foreign policy consistently defending its interests and combining efforts to find optimal solutions to many contemporary problems, it has not yet arrived at a coherent security strategy or produced a vision of a future world order. The success may depend on understanding of the current trends, recognizing opportunities and demonstrating leadership, willingness to share in responsibility for results, as well as conducting essential domestic reforms.

How and why do these states undertake similar economic statecraft strategies and policies? The article examines the evolution of infrastructure financing policy of China and Japan and identifies the ever changing and, yet at the same time, mirroring interaction between the two countries’ development finance practices. We argue that emulation and competition have led to the process of policy diffusion between these two countries. The competition between these two foreign aid leaders in East Asia especially after China’s Belt and Road Initiative has shaped the region’s infrastructure development dynamics as they strive to move the equilibrium outcome to their advantage. Such equilibrium through the policy diffusion process has important implications on global development governance.

AU - Gooden, Susan T. AU - Johnson, Richard Greggory, III T2 - Public Administration Review AB - This article examines Census 2020 relative to civil rights and social equity. Mandated by the U.S. Constitution, the Census is directly related to civil rights as Census totals are used to determine voting representation, and results impact billions of dollars of federal, state, and local funding across multiple areas including education, health care, and housing. Census undercounts impact marginalized communities, and this is a heightened concern for Census 2020 along two core social equity dimensions: (1) race and ethnicity, and (2) immigration and citizenship. The implementation of Census 2020 is the responsibility of public administrators and poses challenges in the areas of social equity, leadership, and administrative infrastructure. Practitioner Points Census 2020 matters. Data from the U.S. Census is fundamental to apportioning political power as well as more than $800 billion each year for governmental services. In each state, population totals will determine the House of Representative seats. Every state will use population totals to redraw legislative districts, allocate resources, and provide public services. Racial categories and undercounts have been fundamental concerns since the first U.S. Census in 1790. These undercounts pose on‐going challenges to political participation, representation, and resources. The citizenship question controversy of Census 2020 will likely lead to lower completion levels for noncitizens. Implementation of Census 2020 is the responsibility of public administrators, and there are important challenges relative to civil rights and social equity.

AU - Herkert, J. AU - Kuzma, J. T2 - Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene AB - This article explores attitudes of stakeholders involved in biotechnology towards the Responsible Innovation (RI) framework. As a framework for governance, RI has received increasing scholarly attention but has yet to be successfully integrated into U.S. research and innovation policy. Using a mixed methods approach, we analyzed the attitudes of different biotechnology stakeholders, particularly those working in areas related to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture and the environment, towards the principles and practices of RI. Homogenous focus groups (organized by stakeholder affiliation) and pre- and post-focus group surveys were used to measure attitudes towards RI. We designed the survey questions according to the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and examined the agreement of stakeholders with policy core beliefs (general principles of RI) and secondary beliefs (implementation practices of RI). Although all stakeholder groups had neutral to positive attitudes towards RI general principles, we found significant differences in their reactions to the scholarly definitions of RI and in their attitudes towards practices to implement RI. In comparison to government and advocacy groups, stakeholders promoting biotechnology innovations–industry, trade organizations, and academics–had more negative reactions to social science definitions of RI and to RI practices that relinquish control to people outside of technology development pipelines. Qualitative analysis of focus-groups revealed barriers for implementing RI practices. For example, innovators were cynical about including external voices in innovation pathways due to inflexible funding programs and were concerned about potential delays to innovation given the highly competitive environments for financing and patents. In order to help address these tensions, we call for the co-design of RI practices between biotechnology innovators and other stakeholders. The opening-up of biotechnology innovation to RI practices of anticipation, inclusion, responsiveness and reflexivity will likely be important for future, public legitimacy of emerging genetic engineering applications such as gene editing and gene drives.

T2 - JOURNAL OF PUBLIC AND NONPROFIT AFFAIRS AB - The complexity and diversity of the nonprofit sector provides a rich landscape for academic scholarship; and, growing numbers of nonprofit scholars and their associated research publications have established the field of nonprofit research. Yet, it is unclear if this research has been applied appropriately to the evolving landscape of the sector. Although literature reviews have helped us to understand the status of academic scholarship in the field of nonprofit research, these reviews have primarily focused on particular topics without considering the field as a whole. Thus, in this study we review all contemporary nonprofit scholarship (n=972) from three prominent nonprofit journals. The review documents the development of nonprofit research as presented in these journals over the last five years and offers recommendations for future research consideration.

Since independence, Africa has grappled with contentious and contradictory roles of armed forces whether they be part of or against the state. Much of the early scholarship on the role of the military tended to paint a positive picture, presenting it as a critical pillar and an agent of modernisation for the newly independent states. This was to change drastically in the era of routine and rampant coups d’états and proliferation of organised rebel activities. But the continent has undergone significant changes since the end of the Cold War. This introduction highlights some of the major changes at the centre of transformations in relations between African militaries and civilian authorities and the public. The overall focus of the introduction, and the entire special issue, is to reposition the theoretical and conceptual aperture for analysing civil-military relations in Africa.

Much of previous scholarship on civil-military relations tended to approach the subject through the idiom of the coup. Analysts in the 1960s initially presented the military in positive terms as a modernising agent, a representation cast aside in the throes of coups d’état, instability and rights violations at the behest of armed forces. This article revisits the conceptual and theoretical terrain in light of recent socio-political changes and in the wake of the peak of military coups on the continent. In reconceptualising civil-military relations, this article proposes a typology that combines the nature of modal relations with civilian authority and relations with the civilian public. The article analyses the different models of relations, tracing the domestic reconfigurations and external influences that structure news ways of civil-military engagement.

Routine military intrusion in politics characterised the first four decades of independent Africa. Citizens suffered at the hands of the armed forces, infamous for widespread human rights violations. One key response to this dual civil-military problem was to pursue a strategy of politicising the armed forces in order to make them a) subordinate to civilian authority and b) organically close to the public and protective than predatory. This also entailed the militarisation of politics ostensibly to bring the political class into closer conversation and collaboration with the military. To what extent did this strategy contribute to transforming civil-military relations? Taking the Ugandan case, this article argues that transformation was attained in making the military more respectful of citizens’ rights while simultaneously creating a fusion with the ruling class thereby subverting the very goal of professionalism.

Methods Participants in this study were staff from a major urban research university ( n = 22) and four nonprofit organizations ( n = 17) that promote college access and success among underrepresented, low‐income, and first‐generation college students. Participants engaged in an audio‐recorded interview that was transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results Data suggested that staff from the universities and nonprofit organizations were both holistic in their understanding of college student success. In addition, they were both motivated to form partnerships in an effort to reduce barriers to success, although they, at times, identified different barriers that they wanted the partnership to address. Both university and nonprofit staff saw increased effectiveness of their practice as a result of partnering and university staff gained a better understanding of the greater nonprofit college access and success community. Conclusion Given the intense support that nonprofit organizations are able to provide with their level of funding, partnerships with universities can increase the success of underrepresented, low‐income, and first‐generation college students.

AU - Cobb, Michael D. T2 - AMERICAN POLITICS RESEARCH AB - To date, the literature on corruption scandals in Congress focuses exclusively on their consequences. Using theory that directs analyses of the causes of corruption scandals at the jurisdictional level in the American states and other countries, we test a variety of hypotheses about which kinds of members of the House are more likely to be caught in these episodes. We derive our hypotheses from three basic propositions about individual-level corruption—opportunity, culture, and target. There is evidence to support them all. Members with cultivated relationships, in positions of power, and elected from districts with traditions of or perceived tolerance for corruption are disproportionately scandalous. So, interestingly, are some potentially marginalized legislators, particularly racial minorities. We explore the finding that Black members are frequently associated with corruption scandals.

We examined the psychometric properties of three modified versions of the sense of community responsibility (SOC‐R) scale. Consistent with the original scale, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that the scale was unidimensional and exhibited excellent internal consistency. In addition, factor analyses revealed that SOC responsibility and SOC are two separate, albeit related, constructs. The results also provided evidence of the discriminant validity of SOC and SOC‐R on key outcomes. Taken together, these results provide support for the Community Experience Model , which posits that community experiences are a function of resource and responsibility components, as well as for the adaptable nature of the SOC‐R scale to the Italian context.

First, we examine sense of community, sense of community responsibility, organizational commitment and identification, and PSM in predicting measures of employee engagement and well-being. Second, we examine if PSM acts as a direct or indirect predictor of the employee measures. The findings highlight that community experiences are powerful predictors and that the role of PSM is more indirect than direct. The study provides a step forward in understanding the utility of psychological predictors when simultaneously compared, and offers hope for future studies where we continue to conduct comparative analyses beyond the boundary of public management.

One commonly used definition of SB is the extraction of living parts for organisms that are then inserted into other organisms to create a “new” organism with parts from the donor and recipient (Benner and Sismour 2005). Synthetic biology has also been described as “the use of computer assisted, biological engineering to design and construct new synthetic biological part” (Hoffman and Newman 2012). Others like the National Science Foundation and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council have noted that synthetic biology is the identification and application of biology in the design of biological parts and systems for use in the creation or redesign of natural biological systems for useful purposes (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council 2009).

The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity defines synthetic biology as “biotechnology that combines science, technology, and engineering to facilitate and accelerate the understanding, design, redesign, manufacture, and/or modification of genetic materials, living organisms, and biological systems” (Convention of Biological Diversity). Synthetic biology can produce entirely new organisms, some of which may pose risks to naturally existing ecosystems. While humans have been selectively breeding plants and animals for millennia, synthetic biology and its enabling technologies allow combining genetic material from organisms that cannot procreate in nature and grant more deliberate and precise control over the selection of genetic processes.

This article reports findings from a study investigating the profile and motivations of students completing these nonprofit-related degrees. A survey was deployed to alumni from three different nonprofit graduate programs (i.e., nonprofit management and philanthropic studies), and findings indicate that students are largely similar across schools and primarily drawn to the degree for its nonprofit nature. Differences are noted about the appeal of nonprofit graduate programs between in-service and pre-service students. These findings are rich with implications for students, researchers, and most of all the administrators and faculty of these graduate programs.

The Social Security Administration periodically mails this and supporting documents to all workers to help them make informed decisions about when to start receiving their benefits. Understandably, the Statement provides detailed information about the worker's retirement benefit. However, these documents contain remarkably little information about the survivor benefit despite the financial importance of this particular auxiliary benefit to the widows of deceased workers in widowhood. We analyze the effect of modifications to the survivor benefit information in the Statement on benefit knowledge and expected claiming behavior of married men using an experimental survey of workers. The results provide evidence that the augmentation of this information can temporarily improve benefit knowledge and influence expected claim ages.

AU - Diako, Charles AU - Miller, Lindsey E. AU - Neilson, Andrew P. AU - Ross, Carolyn F. AU - Stewart, Amanda C. T2 - APPETITE AB - Bitterness and astringency (dryness) are characteristic sensory attributes of flavanol-rich foods. The degree of polymerization (DP) of flavanols influences their bitter and astringent sensations. Smaller DP compounds can enter the papillae on the tongue, eliciting a bitter response. Larger DP compounds are sterically inhibited from entering papillae and instead interact with oral proteins, cause precipitation, and elicit astringent sensations. Previous research has indicated that bitterness preference is related to health status, density of fungiform papillae on the tongue, and sensitivity to bitter compounds such as 6-n-propyl-thiouracil (PROP). The purpose of this study was to examine trends in liking, bitterness intensity, and astringency intensity of wine-like products with flavanols of different DP using a consumer sensory panel. Participants (n = 102) were segmented by phenotypes: body fat percentage (BF%), body mass index (BMI), PROP sensitivity, and stated bitter food preference. Differences in wine liking, perceived bitterness intensity, and astringency intensity were observed between three model wine samples of varying flavanol mean degrees of polymerization (mDP, i.e. the average size (polymer length) of flavanol compounds in a mixture). Specifically, with increased mDP, overall liking and bitterness liking decreased, with concurrent increased perception of bitterness and astringency intensity. Greater differences between phenotypes were observed when participants were segmented by BF% and BMI classification, than when segmented by PROP sensitivity classification. Reduced ability to detect differences in bitterness and astringency were noted in participants of higher weight status. Overall, these data suggest that weight status in adults is a greater predictor of liking of flavanol-rich foods than bitterness sensitivity (as determined by PROP classification), and that reduced perception of bitterness and astringency associated with weight gain may impact selection and preference for these foods.

AU - Dang, Ngoc-Tram T2 - PACIFIC REVIEW AB - Hedging has been a widely discussed concept in explaining East Asian states’ counteracting policies in the face of great power competition. However, the current literature has yet to specify how hedging responds to great power competition in economic statecraft, namely, using economic means to influence other states. This paper examines Vietnam’s response to Japan and China’s infrastructure financing programs over the past three decades. Through a combination of quantitative and qualitative data, it explains how Vietnam, while following economic pragmatism, does not simply aim to maximize gains from these two powers. Vietnam’s decisions embody what we call economic hedging, or a cautious calculation over the linkage between security risks and infrastructure partnership and a tendency to pivot away from infrastructure partners deemed risky, namely, China. It also shows that such caution has intensified in the face of a nationalistic public that has challenged the notion of economic pragmatism, pushed a realist approach to economic relations with China, and bolstered Hanoi to take more action to protect Vietnamese sovereignty from Chinese economic influence. The convergence of these domestic and international trends have driven Hanoi to enhance collaboration with Japan, which it views as an increasingly important strategic partner.

To better understand shared social value, we apply the Collaborative Value Creation (CVC) framework to investigate value creation in the Transition Coaching sector—nonprofit organizations that provide support to high school students as they transition to college. We interview public and nonprofit executives and staff and find that nonprofits seek resources to help navigate complex bureaucratic public structures related to private client information and centralizing bureaucratic information. We also find shared public and nonprofit value in improving client navigation, knowledge sharing within public bureaucratic structures, and capacity building. Future scholarship should develop the potential for reduced bureaucratic frictions as a point of shared value in PNP alliances.
