Specifically, it evaluates the effectiveness of the Motorcycle Pillion Shield Regulation (MPSR) to implement social distancing and prevent COVID-19 infections in motorcycle back-riding. Applying Max Weber’s view on the necessity of scientific expertise in rulemaking, and using government and media reports, the article analyzes the scientific foundation of the MPSR rulemaking by the Philippine Inter-agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Disease (IATF-EID) and National Task Force (NTF), the country’s top task forces against COVID-19. It argues that a truly science-based approach to rulemaking must be based on sound scientific evidence and consultation with scientists, experts, interest groups, and the motorcycle riding public, before crafting and implementing regulation. Results showed that the use of the shield in motorcycle back-riding can cause the spread of the virus instead of preventing it, especially in motorcycle taxis. The use of a common helmet and the inevitable physical contact between the driver and the back rider may cause infection if one rider is positive, as scientific studies indicate that touching contaminated surfaces can cause transmission. It is also an added expense, unsafe, and prone to accidents as the shield obstructs the motorcycle’s aerodynamics and balance. Lastly, no comprehensive scientific study and consultations with experts and riders before the MPSR was crafted and implemented by the NTF. Ultimately, this article contends that the government’s claim to a science-based strategy against COVID-19 can remain elusive if it fails to address the country’s lack of a reliable scientific advisory group and if it fails to amend the new Philippine Administrative Code to require regulators to strictly follow sound science in rulemaking.","PeriodicalId":38265,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Interdisciplinary Civic and Political Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67562544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One example is COVID-19, which broke out in December 2019. COVID-19 spread quickly across the globe. The purpose of this study is to analyze disease issues that can threaten the security of a country. A second aim is to identify the neoliberal response of countries, especially Indonesia. Third, we seek to explore the strategies conducted by the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to overcome the COVID-19 crisis. Indonesia’s policymakers recognize the adverse effects of the health crisis on the national agenda. Those must be seriously confronted. The threats to health and national security posed by the effects of the virus have forced policymakers to cooperate with each other. The current research finds that not only Indonesia, but countries around the world are threatened due to the consequent vulnerability to all aspects of security—national, economic, and academic. Through the involvement of institutions that are able to build bridges between nations, neoliberalism emphasizes an international political system that is based more on international cooperation and less on powerful interests.","PeriodicalId":38265,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Interdisciplinary Civic and Political Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67562477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although this is a global phenomenon, it is particularly evident in the United States, which is where we will focus the majority of this article. The current era is dominated by a series of overlapping phenomena, rooted in a series of what we term “disconnections,” that bring into view a new “spherical” political reality. These disconnections describe situations where the empirical, or observable, world differs from the actual, but often hidden, reality. Deriving from these disconnections, the traditional “flat” understanding of political structures, focused on “traditional” axes of Liberal to Conservative and Libertarian to Authoritarian, ignores an important third dimension that we will examine. This third axis relates to issues of rural / nationalist / science-skeptical versus urban / globalist / science-positive. This article explores how this third axis informs, and is informed, by the three most significant issues facing the world at this moment: climate change, COVID-19, and the attempted coup of January 2021.","PeriodicalId":38265,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Interdisciplinary Civic and Political Studies","volume":"82 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67562624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
