The misclassification of murders results in the invisibilization and impunity of gender-based violence. According to Observatorio Cuidadano Nacional del Feminicidio figures in 2024, of the 3408 cases of murdered women in Mexico in 2023, only 827 were classified as feminicides. Since few cases result in punishment, women have protested for justice nationwide. The current study examines the effects of media representation of feminicide cases. Participants were randomly assigned two of four fake newspaper articles about a feminicide case, which varied based on the description of the murdered woman and the intention of the crime. Participants who received the victim-blaming article endorsed significantly more victim-blaming attitudes compared to participants who received the non-victim-blaming article. Additionally, participants who received the article where the male assailant exhibited a will to harm the victim exhibited significantly more victim-blaming attitudes. The results highlight the need for journalists to be mindful of the narratives they construct regarding feminicide cases.

This article explores the utility of punctuated equilibrium (PE) theory in explaining revolutionary organizational change in the public sector and its effects on policy implementation, with a focus on the United States Coast Guard. We illustrate our model using data from in-depth interviews with current and former senior Coast Guard officers and enlisted personnel, as well as secondary sources such as historical accounts and budget data. Through content analysis, we argue that PE theory begins with a change in the public sector organization's external environment, which then affects organizational strategy, structure, power distribution, and outputs. Punctuated equilibrium theory proves to be a valuable lens for understanding policy outputs in relation to organizational change.

本文以美国海岸警卫队为重点，探讨了点状均衡（PE）理论在解释公共部门革命性组织变革及其对政策实施的影响方面的实用性。我们利用对现任和前任海岸警卫队高级军官和士兵的深入访谈数据，以及历史记录和预算数据等二手资料，对我们的模型进行了说明。通过内容分析，我们认为，PE 理论始于公共部门组织外部环境的变化，进而影响组织战略、结构、权力分配和产出。事实证明，均衡理论是理解与组织变革相关的政策产出的重要视角。 相关文章 Kwon, Sung-Wook, and Sylvia Gonzalez-Gorman.2019."地方政治体制对三个政策领域政策均衡的影响》。Politics & Policy 47(2)：300–25. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12295.

This article examines the narrative framework in European Union (EU) research and innovation projects, focusing on symbolic practices and terminology. The analysis includes over five years of ethnographic research, and 20 European projects funded by Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe, and Erasmus+ programs. It explores different ways project actors internalize and reproduce the EU's symbolic power through its policies, particularly the ambiguous concept of “innovation.” Using Bourdieu's theory of practice, the research highlights the way social structures within the “project field” influence dynamics and outcomes, often resulting in a gap between rhetoric and reality. The study also uncovers broader political and social implications of these practices, calling for critical reflection of their impact. In its conclusion, the authors discuss the challenges of maintaining genuine innovation amidst bureaucratic requirements and the EU's symbolic power, advocating for more nuanced and context-aware project practices.

本文考察了欧盟研究和创新项目中的叙事框架，重点关注符号实践和术语。这项分析包括五年多的人种学研究，以及由地平线2020、欧洲地平线和伊拉斯谟+项目资助的20个欧洲项目。它探讨了项目参与者通过其政策，特别是模棱两可的“创新”概念，内化和复制欧盟象征性权力的不同方式。利用布迪厄的实践理论，该研究强调了“项目领域”内的社会结构影响动态和结果的方式，往往导致修辞与现实之间的差距。该研究还揭示了这些做法更广泛的政治和社会影响，呼吁对其影响进行批判性反思。在结论部分，作者讨论了在官僚主义要求和欧盟的象征性权力中保持真正的创新所面临的挑战，倡导更细致入微和情境感知的项目实践。相关文章Kanol， Direnç。2022. 新兴颠覆性技术的叙事策略：欧洲b区块链的案例研究。政治,政策50(5):952-66。https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12492。Matthew C.

After several failed attempts in previous years, Brazil's Plano Real finally ended hyperinflation in 1993–1994, and a significant driver of inequality and poverty was eliminated as a result. 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. For analytical generalization, a potential model is proposed for further investigations on the relationship between competitive elections, cross-party cooperation, and price stability in nine other country cases within and outside Latin America.

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.

The number of monetary redress programs for survivors of nonrecent abuse in out-of-home care is growing. These programs help make monetary remedies more accessible to survivors. However, the reasons that justify these programs also encourage policy makers to adopt paternalistic measures. This article argues that most paternalistic restrictions are unjustified because they infringe on survivors' autonomy without clearly benefiting them.

<p>Welcome to the October 2024 issue of <i>Politics & Policy</i> (<i>P&P</i>) which features an impressive collection of scholarship spanning Europe and the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and North America. All the articles herein have undergone <i>P&P's</i> rigorous double-blind peer review process, commonly two or three times, which has assisted in honing the arguments significantly while also drawing out wider implications to engage specialists and generalist readers alike. They have been selected for this issue with these strengths firmly in mind.</p><p>Of particular note this October are three significant themes that enticed me to recollect—and then go back and read again—several past articles in this journal on similar subjects. The first theme concerns welfare policy. In the present issue, this is discussed masterfully from the perspective of balancing policy objectives in Cambodia's emergency cash assistance for workers during COVID-19 (Soksamphoas & Ford, <span>2024</span>) and comparing party discourse and conflict on welfare solidarity in Sweden, Belgium (Flanders), and the United States (Luypaert & Thijssen, <span>2024</span>; cf. Son, <span>2020</span>). These exceptional pieces join a long line of past <i>P&P</i> articles on comparative welfare state studies, including social policy and unemployment in the United Kingdom and Italy (Mioni, <span>2021</span>), welfare state culture and policy discourse (König, <span>2015</span>), and Wagle's (<span>2014</span>) weighty contribution on population heterogeneity and welfare policies in high-income OECD countries, among many others (see e.g., Butz & Kehrberg, <span>2015</span>; Flavin et al., <span>2011</span>; Polacko, <span>2023</span>).</p><p>The second salient theme emerging this October surrounds the intersection of violence, quality of democracy concerns, and political participation in sub-Saharan Africa. In this issue the studies by Omulo (<span>2024</span>) and Iheonu et al. (<span>2024</span>) join the burgeoning repository of <i>P&P's</i> past papers on violence and democratization in Africa (see e.g., Antwi-Boateng, <span>2015</span>, <span>2017</span>; Antwi-Boateng & Braimah, <span>2024</span>; Asongu et al., <span>2020</span>; Asongu & Nnanna, <span>2019</span>; Djeufack Dongmo & Avom, <span>2024</span>; Ryan, <span>2015</span>).</p><p>Finally, this October issue begins with an exceptionally well-executed discussion on political cohorts and generational analysis in the United States (Fisher, <span>2024</span>). This work on Generation X adds much to comparable past <i>P&P</i> cohort studies on America (Fisher, <span>2020</span>; McCarthy & Santucci, <span>2021</span>), Russia (Shaykhutdinov, <span>2019</span>; Stegmaier & Erb, <span>2008</span>), Argentina (Geri & Villareal, <span>2022</span>), and Canada (Dauda, <span>2010</span>). The list of former <i>P&P</i> articles on this subject goes at least as far back as
这里收录的所有文章都经过了 P&P 严格的双盲同行评审程序，通常要经过两到三次，这有助于大大完善文章的论点，同时引出更广泛的影响，以吸引专家和普通读者。今年十月，我对三个重要主题特别感兴趣，这促使我回顾（然后回头重读）了本刊以前的几篇类似主题的文章。第一个主题涉及福利政策。本期文章从平衡 COVID-19 期间为柬埔寨工人提供紧急现金援助的政治目标（Soksamphoas & Ford, 2024），以及比较瑞典、比利时（佛兰德斯）和美国（Luypaert & Thijssen, 2024; cf. Son, 2020）在社会团结问题上的党派言论和冲突的角度，对此进行了精辟的分析。这些特殊的文章加入了 P&；P 关于福利国家的比较研究，包括英国和意大利的社会政策和失业问题（Mioni，2021 年）、福利国家的文化和政治话语（König，2015 年）以及 Wagle（2014 年）对经合组织高收入国家的人口异质性和福利政策的重要贡献，等等（参见 Polacko，2023 年；Butz & Kehrberg，2015 年；Flavin, Pacek & Radcliff，2011 年）。本期出现的第二个突出主题围绕着撒哈拉以南非洲地区的暴力、民主质量和参与问题的交叉点。在本期中，Omulo（2024 年）和 Iheonu、Okwoche 和 Agbutun（2024 年）的研究为日益增多的以往 P&；关于非洲暴力与民主化的研究（例如，见 Djeufack Dongmo & Avom, 2024；Antwi-Boateng & Braimah, 2024；Asongu, Uduji and Okolo-Obasi, 2020；Asongu and Nnanna, 2019；Ryan, 2015；Antwi-Boateng, 2015, 2017）。最后，本期十月刊开篇即对美国的政治群组和代际分析进行了出色的讨论（Fisher，2024 年）。这篇关于 "X世代 "的文章是对以往关于美国（Fisher, 2020; McCarthy & Santucci, 2021）、俄罗斯（Shaykhutdinov, 2019; Stegmaier & Erb, 2008）、阿根廷（Geri & Villareal, 2022）和加拿大（Dauda, 2010）的同类P&P队列研究的补充。P&P以前有关这一主题的文章至少可以追溯到盖伊（Guy，1987 年）近 37 年前对群体差异和政策偏好的研究，当时本刊名为《东南政治评论》。我希望本期《P&P》中的优秀文章能为您提供有趣的论点、有用的最新文献综述以及理论见解，以推动您未来的研究。一如既往，我期待您继续投稿 https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/polpol。 Emma R.

This article examines the effect of leader longevity in power on world happiness. To make the assessment, a sample composed of 135 countries observed over the period 2006 to 2018 was constituted. The results obtained from OLS estimates show that longevity in power reduces individual happiness. Furthermore, the negative effect is more amplified in democratic countries. Quantile regression reveals variability in the effect over the different intervals. These results are robust to the use of alternative estimation techniques. We also identify the quality of institutions and public spending as two potential transmission channels through which longevity in power influences well-being. These results invite political authorities to respect constitutional limits or implement constitutional reforms with the aim of limiting the duration of the mandate of the executive in order to reduce the harmful effect of an extension of the latter on individuals' well-being.

This article analyzes public preferences toward affirmative action (reservation policy) designed for disadvantaged social groups in India by examining the co-relational and causal relationship between the perceived fairness of the reservation policies and the citizens' preferences for reservation policies available in the political sphere, government jobs, and higher education institutions; and how urban India—particularly the metropolitan cities—utilizes better opportunities for socioeconomic mobility. I argue that there are opposing trends in discourse, primarily based on self-interest or motivation-based community interest. Examining citizens' preferences by adding more variables to the analysis and testing them with the data (N = 1800) is imperative since self-motivation or community interest cannot be the sole factor. The findings allow us to represent potential interaction effects based on caste, education level, and place of birth. These are the primary reasons for citizens' choices, and they all have an additive effect rather than being present as an individual factor of analysis.

The nexus between democracy and peace in Africa is examined by applying data to 42 sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries between 2008 and 2020. The study used panel regression techniques that include Ordinary Least Squares, the Tobit regression to account for the limited range of the dependent variable, and the System Generalized Method of Moments to account for endogeneity bias. Using seven indicators of democracy, which include electoral democracy, liberal democracy, participatory democracy, deliberative democracy, egalitarian democracy, a total democracy index derived from principal component analysis, and the Polity2 score, and using the global peace index as a proxy for peace, our findings show that all the indicators of democracy, irrespective of the model, have a positive and significant influence on peace in SSA. The result has underscored the importance of advancing democratic practices and values to promote sustainable peace and stability in the region.

通过应用 2008 至 2020 年间 42 个撒哈拉以南非洲（SSA）国家的数据，研究了非洲民主与和平之间的关系。研究采用了面板回归技术，包括普通最小二乘法、托比特回归以考虑因变量的有限范围，以及系统广义矩法以考虑内生性偏差。我们使用了七个民主指标，包括选举民主、自由民主、参与民主、审议民主、平等民主、主成分分析得出的总民主指数和 Polity2 分数，并使用全球和平指数作为和平的替代指标，研究结果表明，无论采用何种模型，所有民主指标都对撒南非洲的和平产生了积极而显著的影响。这一结果凸显了推进民主实践和价值观对促进该地区可持续和平与稳定的重要性。 相关文章 Antwi-Boateng, Osman.2015."非洲没有春天：撒哈拉以南非洲如何避免阿拉伯之春现象"。Politics & Policy 43(5)：754–84. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12129.
