Note from the Editors and Acknowledgment of Reviewers 2022–23

Welcome to the December issue of Politics & Policy (P&P)!

In this final 2023 issue of P&P, we offer a particularly strong lineup of articles. They cover machine learning techniques and policy agenda trade-offs (Sohn, 2023), comparative analysis of policy responses to the pandemic (Kasseeah & Opp, 2023), education for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh (Prodip, 2023), environmental policies and outcomes in 37 countries (Duit et al., 2023), minority faith and environmental justice (Al-Kohlani et al., 2023), as well as religious lobbying and policy influence regarding attitudes toward same-sex marriage (Gover, 2023). In addition, Dzhurova (2023) unpacks Agamben's notion of homo sacer to show how it facilitates interpretations of the “alien” metaphor as it applies to the ultimately failed 2001 US DREAM Act. Al Aloosy's (2023) contribution discusses the ideological disunity and converging interests of Iraq's political elites and the impact these have had on recent elections and political legitimacy in Iraq. Joo et al. (2023) explore the divergence of emissions trading schemes (ETSs) in South Korea and the European Union. And finally, Hiroi and Schober (2023) analyze the links between corruption, patronage, and avertable child deaths in developing countries.

We hope you enjoy these excellent articles and, as always, encourage your future submissions to P&P.

As is customary at this time of year, the editors of Politics & Policy, Dr. David Mena Alemán and Dr. Emma R. Norman, would like to express their sincere gratitude to the scholars whose rigorous peer reviews of manuscripts Politics & Policy processed and/or published in 2023 have contributed so much to the high quality of the articles we have published over the last 12 months. Your sterling and timely efforts to return reviews that are almost always highly detailed and extremely constructive continue to be of great assistance to editors and authors alike. Thank you, one and all!

¡Bienvenidos a la edición de diciembre de Politics & Policy (P&P)!

En esta última edición de 2023 de P&P ofrecemos una gama de artículos particularmente sólida. Cubren técnicas de aprendizaje automático y compensaciones de agendas políticas (Sohn 2023), educación para refugiados rohingya en Bangladesh (Prodip 2023), políticas y resultados ambientales en 37 países (Duit, Lim y Sommerer 2023), análisis comparativo de respuestas políticas a la pandemia (Kasseeah y Opp 2023), la fe de las minorías y la justicia ambiental (Al-Kohlani, Campbell y El-Khatib 2023), así como el lobby religioso y la influencia política con respecto a las actitudes hacia el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo (Gover 2023). Dzhurova (2023) analiza la noción de homo sacer de Agamben para mostrar cómo facilita las interpretaciones de la metáfora “extraterrestre” tal como se aplica a la finalmente fallida Ley DREAM de Estados Unidos de 2001. La contribución de Al Aloosy (2023) analiza la desunión ideológica y los intereses convergentes de las élites políticas iraquíes y el impacto que estos han tenido en las elecciones recientes y la legitimidad política en Irak. Joo, Paavola y van Alstine (2023) exploran la divergencia de los esquemas de comercio de emisiones (ETS) en Corea del Sur y la Unión Europea. Y, finalmente, Hiroi y Schober (2023) analizan los vínculos entre la corrupción, el clientelismo y las muertes infantiles evitables en los países en desarrollo.

Esperamos que disfrute de estos excelentes artículos y, como siempre, le animamos a realizar futuros envíos a P&P.

Como es habitual en esta época del año, los editores de Politics & Policy, Dr. David Mena Alemán y la Dra. Emma R. Norman, desean expresar sus sinceros agradecimiento a los académicos cuyas rigurosas revisiones por pares de los manuscritos que Politics & Policy procesó y /o publicados en 2023 han contribuido mucho a la alta calidad de los artículos que hemos publicado durante los últimos 12 meses. Sus valiosos y oportunos esfuerzos por devolver reseñas que casi siempre son muy detalladas y extremadamente constructivas siguen siendo de gran ayuda tanto para los editores como para los autores. ¡Gracias a todos!

欢迎阅读2023年12月的《政治与政策》(P&P)杂志!

在2023年P&P最后一期内容中，我们收录了一系列特别优质的文章。这些文章涵盖机器学习技术和政策议程权衡(Sohn 2023)、孟加拉国罗辛亚难民的教育(Prodip 2023)、37个国家的环境政策及成果(Duit, Lim, and Sommerer 2023)、关于大流行病政策响应的比较分析(Kasseeah and Opp 2023)、少数群体信仰和环境正义(Al-Kohlani, Campbell and El-Khatib 2023)，以及关于对同性婚姻态度的宗教游说与政策影响(Gover 2023)。 Dzhurova(2023)阐明了阿甘本提出的“牲人”概念，以表明此概念如何促进对“外国人”隐喻的解释，该隐喻适用于最终失败的2001年《美国梦想法案》。Al Aloosy(2023)的文章探讨了伊拉克政治精英的意识形态不统一与利益趋同，以及这些意识形态和利益对伊拉克近期选举及政治合法性的影响。Joo、Paavola和van Alstine(2023)探究了韩国和欧盟各自的排放交易计划(ETS)的差异。最后，Hiroi和Schober(2023)分析了发展中国家的腐败、赞助和可避免的儿童死亡之间的联系。

我们希望您享受阅读这些优秀文章，并一如既往地鼓励您向P&P提交稿件。

按照每年此时的惯例，《政治与政策》杂志编辑David Mena Alemán博士和Emma R. Norman博士向那些对《政治与政策》处理和/或发表的稿件进行严格的同行评审的学者表示诚挚谢意，你们的付出为过去12个月内本刊发表的高质量文章作出了巨大贡献。你们提供的及时且宝贵的评论几乎总是非常详细且极具建设性，这继续为编辑和作者带来莫大的帮助。谢谢各位!
