Applying Mile's Law, it explores post-truth theory through content analysis of secondary data and interviews with energy experts. The findings indicate that political parties gain significant political leverage by promising lower fuel prices during campaigns but fail to deliver once in office. The government's influence on fuel pricing is minimal, largely due to factors beyond its control. To stabilize fuel prices, the study recommends improving fiscal and economic performance to combat currency instability and educating the public on the factors influencing fuel pricing to prevent misinformation.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Related Articles</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Asiegbu, Martin F., Okey Marcellus Ikeanyibe, Pius Otu Abang, Okwudili Chukwuma Nwosu, and Chuka Eugene Ugwu. 2024. “Natural Resource Fund Governance and the Institutionalization of Rent Seeking in Nigeria's Oil Sector.” <i>Politics &amp; Policy</i> 52(1): 169–95. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12579.</p>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Ayanoore, Ishmael, and Sam Hickey. 2022. “Reframing the Politics of Natural Resource Governance in Africa: Insights from the Local Content Legislation Process in Ghana.” <i>Politics &amp; Policy</i> 50(1): 119–36. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12449.</p>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Kuyini Mohammed, Abdulai. 2013. “Civic Engagement in Public Policy Making: Fad or Reality in Ghana?” <i>Politics &amp; Policy</i> 41(1): 117–52. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12003.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51679,"journal":{"name":"Politics & Policy","volume":"52 6","pages":"1353-1376"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142862134","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}

Norman","doi":"10.1111/polp.12644","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12644","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;As we reach this final issue of the 52nd volume of &lt;i&gt;Politics &amp; Policy&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;i&gt;P&amp;P&lt;/i&gt;), it is always a time I reflect with deep appreciation upon the sheer hard work that so many devote to the stages of getting manuscripts through to final publication in this journal. I am continually amazed at several elements of the double-blind peer-review process we conduct at &lt;i&gt;P&amp;P&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, as a result of the continued rise in submissions to the journal, the huge increase in the number of reviewers we have added to our (already rather enormous!) peer-reviewer database this year has been unparalleled in the almost 20 years I have had the privilege of editing &lt;i&gt;P&amp;P&lt;/i&gt;. This surge has, of course, also been reflected in the number of expert reviewers to whom I have extended review invitations over the 2023–2024 production period. Back in 2005, when I first took on the editorial role, I normally needed to ask 5–6 scholars for each paper that made it to the review stage in order to secure agreements to review from the required 3. At the time, that bundle of peer-review requests was composed and emailed out individually, “by hand” as &lt;i&gt;P&amp;P&lt;/i&gt; did not move to ScholarOne's electronic system, Manuscript Central (MC), until 2008. So the beginning of our now-huge reviewer database was forged on a very personal level between myself and those wonderful early reviewers who would frequently keep in touch even if I had no papers in their area for them to review. Many still do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I occasionally miss that period before the journal (and the industry in general) was “electronicized.” I really enjoyed taking a long time to sift carefully through the new research in the subfields of our discipline(s) to find the perfect scholars to augment each reviewer panel. My first editorial assistant, Cynthia Villegas, and I would cheer every time we received an agreement to review via email, and we added their names to our low-tech wall chart with considerable ceremony! Many of the relationships I forged with reviewers, as well as authors, at that time have continued to flourish ever since. The personal nature of the exchanges kept things as “human” as possible in a business that mechanized very rapidly. Perhaps that is an understatement. From sending hand-tailored requests to 6 reviewers per submission in 2005–2010, the average number of requests I now send out via MC has risen to 17 per paper in order to receive three agreements. Occasionally, I now have to ask over 30.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Naturally, one reason for this concerns the huge increase in good submissions that &lt;i&gt;P&amp;P&lt;/i&gt; is now receiving, meaning that far more reach review. Another is the generalist nature of the journal itself, which leads to a large majority of submissions falling within our fairly wide aims and scope. A further reason is due to the increasing burdens that all who work in academia have experienced as time has advanced, limiting the number of reviews any single scholar can feasi","PeriodicalId":51679,"journal":{"name":"Politics & Policy","volume":"52 6","pages":"1198-1209"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/polp.12644","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142861988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From a critical policy studies lens, this article addresses the discursive policy challenges faced by those who are most affected by the toxic policy assemblage of enduring pollution exposure. In response to the research question: how can the voices and lived experiences of those living in pollution hotspots like Chemical Valley contribute to the theory and practice of environmental justice, this article draws upon findings from extensive field-work in the surrounding region of Lambton County as well as policy advocacy including participation in Senate of Canada hearings. This analysis examines how the omission of community-based knowledge and expertise reproduces inequities. The article concludes with strategies for improved environmental justice and lessons learned for policy justice in Canada and beyond.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Related Articles</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Al-Kohlani, Sumaia A., Heather E.

It identifies the primary members of two coalitions, the Democratic Interventionists and the Pragmatic Realists, who held differing beliefs about U.S. foreign policy. I investigate the beliefs of the members of these coalitions regarding the U.S. role in multilateral security operations, the policy preferences that emerge from those beliefs, the many strategies employed to ensure the adoption of their policy preferences, and the impact of the implemented policy. The ACF facilitates consideration of the strategy, means, and settings that the Pragmatic Realist coalition used to win the policy debate in the Obama administration.

By combining data from Congress and newspaper archives, 17 interviews, and secondary sources, this article takes a qualitative approach to explore the notion that increased electoral competition and effective coalition management enabled price stabilization. Fernando Henrique Cardoso (PSDB), the economy minister leading the plan and the winner of the 1994 presidential election, campaigned as the anti-inflation candidate, promising newly enfranchised low-income voters that reining in prices would boost their earnings. Meanwhile, the minoritarian executive took advantage of coalitional tools to cultivate legislative alliances and approve the plan's measures.

{"title":"The Abraham Accord and the Middle Eastern QUAD: Pakistan's energy security eclipse and the way forward","authors":"Mehmood Hussain,&nbsp;Syed Inam Ali Naqvi,&nbsp;Shahid Hameed","doi":"10.1111/polp.12634","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12634","url":null,"abstract":"<div>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This article traces the impacts of the Abraham Accord and Middle Eastern QUAD on Pakistan's energy security. It asks how and to what extent the Abraham Accord and Middle Eastern QUAD can potentially jeopardize Pakistan's energy security and evaluates the way forward for Pakistan to counter security threats. The study contends the Abraham Accord and Middle Eastern QUAD have extended the influence of India and Israel from the Middle East to the Indian Ocean, thereby increasing the risk to Pakistan's energy supplies. Meanwhile, expanded and intensified securitization of the Strait of Hormuz has likewise increased the vulnerability of energy supplies from the Middle East. Pakistan imports 72% of its energy from the Middle East via the Strait of Hormuz, and any disruption in energy supplies or blockade of maritime routes would severely undermine Pakistan's socioeconomic and political stability. Pakistan, we argue, must therefore diversify its energy imports from Russia, Central Asia, and Iran to safeguard its energy interests.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Related Articles</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Hussain, Mehmood, Ahmed Bux Jamali, Rana Danish Nisar, and Abdulfattah Omar. 2024. “The China–Iran Strategic Deal and CPEC: Navigating the Influence of Pragmatic Balancing in China's Relations with Iran and Pakistan.” <i>Politics &amp; Policy</i> 52(1): 227–44. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12573.</p>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Lazin, Fred A. 2023. “President Donald Trump's Abraham Accords initiative: Prospects for Israel, the Arab states, and Palestinians.” <i>Politics &amp; Policy</i> 51(3): 476–87. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12533.</p>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Thornton, William H., and Songok Han Thornton. 2024. “Extended Commentary—U.S.-Asian Policy in the Throes of McCarthyism, Old and New.” <i>Politics &amp; Policy</i> 52(4): 854–73. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12604.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51679,"journal":{"name":"Politics & Policy","volume":"52 6","pages":"1266-1283"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142860593","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}
