Despite extant academic conversations discussing community formation and community management through urban design, there is a lack of literature on the role of the public sector in community building and redevelopment of spaces for the local community. This research aims to gain a better understanding of the importance of how local governments in various countries create and operate public facilities that are intended to allow residents to exchange ideas, learn, and have fun, and how they also pay attention to the esthetics and design of their surroundings to create comfortable spaces for the people. Examining through the perspectives of city design, political science, and urban sociology, and considering the impact that COVID-19 had on the use of these spaces, this research proposes a benchmark for community building through urban design and analyzes in detail case studies from four different cities: Sapporo, Helsinki, São Paulo, and Singapore. Findings from our proposed benchmark contribute to the theory, and inform public stakeholders and local government to create, activate, and manage current and future public spaces to better serve the residents and attract new residents.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"15 S6","pages":"12-22"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.13436","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142435010","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}

It discusses how digital transformation is reshaping global power structures, influenced by and contributing to the bifurcation of the world through strategic initiatives and differing digital ecosystems. The article distinguishes digital geopolitics from conventional geopolitics and techno-nationalism on several fronts: the shift from hard power centred on territorial control to digital dominance; the transcendence of geographical boundaries that have conventionally defined geopolitical conflicts; the evolution from traditional political alliances to strategic technological partnerships; and the competition over setting international standards. Additionally, it addresses how corporate power plays a pivotal role in this new era, contributing to the shaping of the digital geopolitical landscape. Through case studies of Huawei and TikTok, this article demonstrates the influence of digital geopolitics on international business (and vice versa) as well as the intensified bifurcation of the digital ecosystems. The article concludes by arguing that digital geopolitics serves as both the by-product of and contributor to the volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) world in which China is encountering a new global order.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"15 S6","pages":"67-83"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.13435","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142435272","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 former Senior Minister of State (Foreign Affairs) and Member of the Board of Trustees at Nanyang Technological University sheds light on the triumvirate of key elements—capacity, collaboration and cohesion—that underscore Singapore's successful management of the crisis. The article explores the multifaceted state capacities meticulously developed over time, highlighting the instrumental role of public–private partnerships in fostering collaborative innovation. Anchoring these strategies is societal cohesion, intricately woven with political trust, effective communication and a shared spirit of mutual support. As Mr. Rasheed contemplates the open question of whether humanity has gleaned the necessary lessons from history to adequately prepare for the future, he envisions Singapore's experience serving as a valuable reference for others.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"15 S6","pages":"92-96"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.13428","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142435274","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}

Within a rapidly evolving world order, this is only likely to increase. And absent substantive norm modification to (re-)establish genuine consensus over the meaning of the norm, RtoP faces imminent weakening. This paper suggests one such avenue of modification: reimagining RtoP's structure across four pillars instead of the existing three. It disaggregates the existing third pillar across two pillars: a new fourth-pillar which contains the last resort use of collective force, in-line with the UN Charter, and a third-pillar which retains the existing non-forcible dimensions of the international responsibility to respond. This new four-pillar RtoP poses three distinct advantages. It increases the potential for peaceful international responses to mass atrocity by addressing the wide-spread tendency to conflate the entire international responsibility to respond with the last-resort use of force; it opens broader space for reconciling divergent global perspectives on the use of force, highlighting the collective and last-resort nature of legitimate military enforcement; and it resolves additional points of contestation over RtoP including whether the pillars are sequential or mutually reinforcing.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"16 1","pages":"4-15"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143565170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyze their differential approaches to accelerating investment in clean technology, enhancing energy security and fortifying supply chains. Both regions share the objective of diminishing reliance on Chinese dominance in clean industries. The US seeks to stimulate private investment primarily via uncapped tax credits from 2022 to 2031, some of them subject to stringent domestic content requirements. The EU has reacted to the potential violation of World Trade Organization's rules and a possible green investment shift to the US In doing so, the EU is relying heavily on a regulatory strategy, with emphasis on the simplification of procedures. However, the EU's public funding model is vague and leaves details to the discretion of member states, risking fragmentation within the single market. Through the application of a dynamic computable general equilibrium model, we show that a 50% increase in demand for the IRA's uncapped tax credits could nearly triple US GDP outcomes by 2027. We highlight the contrast between the IRA's immediate fiscal incentives and the NZIA's regulatory approach, emphasising that the former are more attractive for firms.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"15 S8","pages":"37-43"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-5899.13448","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143248869","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}

Protests have been motivated by increasing input costs, falling prices of agricultural produce and more stringent regulations. In this paper, we go beyond the economic rationale for the protests and ask what broader sociological factors could be driving rural discontent. To this aim, we investigate political ‘recognition gaps’ between rural residents and their urban counterparts – that is, the differences in the degree to which people feel respected and recognised by their governments. Using data collected in the spring of 2022 across the 27 Member States of the European Union, we document that a sizeable proportion of the sample perceive a lack of fair treatment and respect from their governments. Notably, these gaps in perceived respect are significantly larger in rural compared to urban areas. The differences in perceived recognition between rural and urban areas hold even after controlling for a wide range of sociodemographic characteristics, showing that it is not just differences in the observable characteristics between rural and urban residents that are driving these different levels of perceived recognition.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"15 5","pages":"807-822"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142707519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Second, we reflect on US climate policies prior to the IRA and compare them to those of other major players, such as the European Union and China. Third, we offer a quantitative estimation of the IRA's impact on the US economy. We compare the IRA's green subsidies with the effects of a potential carbon pricing policy that achieves the same reduction in CO2 emissions. Our Computable General Equilibrium simulations account for various channels affecting the efficiency of climate policies, indicating that carbon pricing would be a more efficient approach. There are good reasons why both the EU and China and have opted for this mechanism.

Despite Western pressure, Nigeria adopted a carefully calibrated, value-driven, pragmatic indifferent stance that avoided overtly condemning Russia. While denouncing the violation of Ukraine's territorial integrity, Nigeria emphasised the need for dialogue and diplomacy. This reflected Nigeria's pursuit of strategic domestic value-driven foreign policy that has embedded non-alignment principles and its Afrocentric worldview. Nigeria's position highlighted the challenge many Global South nations face in being caught between the West and Russia. Overtly backing either side could jeopardise their interests and economic ties. Nigeria aimed to uphold foreign policy principles and support international norms like sovereignty while keeping channels open with the West and Russian power blocs. Its position, which reflects Afrocentricism, bolstered its credentials as a leader representing the perspectives of the Global South. Its value-driven and pragmatic indifferent stance provided a model for global order-making, and its deft geopolitical balancing act allowed it to protect its interests while reinforcing its status as an influential force shaping the Global South's stance(s) on major international issues.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"15 4","pages":"768-772"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142324733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, AFFNs have emerged and become increasingly institutionalized in global climate governance. However, they remain contested and have not yet achieved widespread acceptance. Much of the contestation concerns the perceived equity of these norms. Drawing on insights from the literature on AFFNs and expert interviews, this article investigates equity-related issues that arise in the context of four key AFFNs: phasing out coal-fired power, phasing out oil and gas, ending public financing for fossil fuels, and reforming fossil fuel subsidies. We find that each of these norms is well placed to contribute to a shift away from a fossil fuel-based economy. However, these norms are often framed in ways that do not account for the distributional impacts of this shift, which may lead to unintended and inequitable consequences. We conclude that AFFNs need to be developed and deployed to actively consider the needs of marginalized communities. Policymakers and non-governmental organizations can work together to develop norms that prioritize addressing equity and distributional justice concerns in the transition away from fossil fuels.","PeriodicalId":51510,"journal":{"name":"Global Policy","volume":"15 5","pages":"979-988"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142708244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
