By braiding the latest philosophies on gender mainstreaming with Integrated Water Resources Management and Feminist Policy Analysis principles, we describe a Multi-Dimensional Index of Gender in Water Policy (MDI-GWP) to measure how gender is captured in water-related policy. The index enables the motivated policy actor to produce well-crafted and feasible recommendations to reform policies. When we trialled MDI-GWP on 16 of Nepalʼs federal water-related policies and acts, the multi-dimensional index tracked gender policy developments over the past 30 years, identified areas where policymakers could further consider gender, and revealed differences in gender application between sectors. We included water resources management (WRM), agriculture, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sectors. In Nepalʼs case, agriculture and WASH policies are on an improving trajectory for gender equity, while WRM policy has rebounded to the gender blind. We expect that MDI-GWP is simple enough to apply in other countries, yet meaningful enough to identify opportunities to improve gender in policies and achieve better outcomes.","PeriodicalId":45839,"journal":{"name":"Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies","volume":"12 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/app5.70029","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144331837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing literature overlooks the spatial disparities and multidimensional nature of this transformation, leaving significant gaps. This study employs a holistic approach, utilising Principal Component Analysis (PCA), to construct the Rural Transformation Development Index (RTDI) for districts in Pakistan in order to see its spatial pattern and extent over the period 2004–2019. The indicators of RTDI are share of high-valued agriculture and livestock in the total value of agriculture, share of non-farm employment in the total rural employment, urbanisation and land use intensity. The study classifies districts into five RTDI categories, highlighting the varied pace of rural transformation over time. Overall, it is evident that rural transformation is not uniform rather it represents large inter-district disparities. However, exploratory spatial data analysis implies existence of clustering in the dataset and underscoring the need for multidimensional, region-specific policies tailored to the unique characteristics of each district and its cluster, rather than a uniform approach across the country to speed up the process of rural transformation.","PeriodicalId":45839,"journal":{"name":"Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies","volume":"12 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/app5.70022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144244524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on a nationally representative sample (n = 1330) of ni-Vanuatu of voting-age (18+), the PAS gauges the views of ordinary ni-Vanuatu citizens on a range of questions related to democracy, economics, governance, tradition, climate change, labour mobility and international relations. This article focuses on how ni-Vanuatu understand and participate in democracy, levels of popular trust in institutions, attitudes towards the role of government, the performance of their political system, and womenʼs participation in politics. Findings of the PAS: Vanuatu reveal high levels of popular support for democracy and trust in democratic institutions. At the same time, popular political attitudes also highlight a distinctive and widely embraced respect for kastom values and traditional leadership, and a popular preference for participating in politics through local and traditional, rather than national pathways.","PeriodicalId":45839,"journal":{"name":"Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies","volume":"12 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/app5.70028","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144220283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The panel-corrected-standard-error technique infers that a one-point increase in GLZ and FIND reduces the RE share in total energy consumption in the ASEAN region by 0.71% and 8.41%, respectively. It finds that the investment in energy with private participation moderates the relationship between FIND and RE, and FDI except in energy moderates the relations between GLZ and RE. The country-specific estimation suggests that Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam be concerned about GLZ, while the Philippines and Vietnam also be concerned about FIND since these might affect their RE transition process. The ASEAN policymakers should earmark funds specifically for renewables and prudently navigate the trade globalisation process to transform this region into a low-carbon region.","PeriodicalId":45839,"journal":{"name":"Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies","volume":"12 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/app5.70031","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144206447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Russia, the three main countries in the Caspian Basin that are the centre of cryptocurrency mining, were examined in terms of their primary industries. The variance decomposition analysis indicated that the Bitcoin price had the most significant explanatory role in CO2 emissions released by Oil and Natural Gas industry in Azerbaijan. When it comes to the CO2 emissions that were emitted by the Petroleum Refining-Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy industry, as well as Manufacturing Industries and Construction, the Bitcoin price had the most important effect in Kazakhstan. There was a significant contribution made by Bitcoin to the CO2 emissions that were emitted by the Manufacturing Industries and Construction in Russia. The impulse response functions illustrated a strong association between Bitcoin and CO2 emissions. However, in contrast to existing research, this relationship was found to be negative. The increase in energy usage during Bitcoin price falls can be attributed to the need to compensate for losses, particularly in the mining process. To diminish this connection, the dependence of the cryptocurrency on fossil fuels must be minimised.","PeriodicalId":45839,"journal":{"name":"Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies","volume":"12 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/app5.70030","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144171487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilising time-series data from the National Labour Force Survey from 32 provinces in three different years (2010, 2015, and 2020), we analysed the linkages between rural transformation and gender-related variables such as womenʼs access to healthcare, education, and technology, gendered income gaps, and womenʼs engagement in agriculture. The results reveal that enhancing education and healthcare accessibility for women can significantly boost their earnings. Basic infrastructure, such as electricity and clean water, is also critical in driving non-agricultural GDP growth. The findings also show that involving women in rural non-farm labour is essential for rural transformation, suggesting that policies must focus on gender equality in education, healthcare, and infrastructure access to accelerate economic diversification. Further action is also needed to overcome ongoing gender disparities in womenʼs economic empowerment, such as the prevailing substantial gendered income gap between men and women in rural areas in Indonesia.","PeriodicalId":45839,"journal":{"name":"Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies","volume":"12 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/app5.70027","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143883817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
