Abstract:
Abstract In recent decades, the policy sciences have struggled to come to terms with the significance of inaction in public policy. Inaction refers to instances when policymakers ‘do nothing’ about societal issues. This article aims to put the study of inaction on a new footing. It presents a five-part typology of forms of inaction before focusing on detail on core drivers of inaction found at four policy-making loci: individuals (coping behaviour), public organisations (information pathologies), governments (agenda control and protection) and networks (non-coordination and lack of feasibility). Acknowledging the conceptual and methodological challenges of researching inaction, it concludes by identifying strategies for putting ‘doing nothing’ (back) on the research agenda of the policy sciences.

Abstract:
The study examines the primary individual and organizational drivers of policy-making on women's development in Pakistani infrastructure development projects. There is general consensus that large-scale projects could be planned and carried out to improve the conditions of communities, especially women, as well as to lessen the project's negative consequences. 33 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with senior Pakistani decision-makers who are active in formulating policy were done for this study. This paper employs McConnell and Hart's (2019) fivefold typology of policy inaction and the results reflect four types of policy responses to gender components in infrastructure projects among our participants: 1) Ideological inaction 2) imposed inaction 3) inadvertent inaction and 4) support for gender policy. Furthermore, mid-career participants with extensive face-to-face interactions with community people in the field showed the highest levels of support for gender policy. Lastly, our research points to the existence of multi-level obstacles to the creation of a national gender policy.

La política de inacción es una decisión de una autoridad donde se conoce de un problema, pero se decide no actuar en consecuencia, sea cual sea el motivo. Mediante un estudio de corte cualitativo, donde se entrevistó a profesores de la Facultad de Idiomas de la Universidad Veracruzana, y a autoridades de alta jerarquía en Rectoría, se pudo notar que este tipo de políticas son normalizadas, e incluso promovidas, por las autoridades. La búsqueda del trabajo de investigación se limitaba originalmente a las tecnologías digitales para la enseñanza de idiomas, pero los resultados mostraron que las políticas de inacción se extienden más allá del equi-pamiento e infraestructura tecnológica.

Abstract:
The comparatively poor U.S. response to COVID-19 was not due to federal inaction or a flawed federal system per se but to party polarization and presidential and gubernatorial preferences that frustrated federalism’s capacity to respond more effectively. The U.S. response is examined in terms of four models: coercive or regulatory federalism, nationalist cooperative federalism, non-centralized cooperative federalism, and dual federalism--finding that state-led dual federalism was the predominant response. The crisis also raised questions about interpretations of “federal inaction” because party divisions led some to regard the federal government’s response as inadequate while others viewed it as appropriate.

Abstract:
This research addresses policy inaction, a topic given scant attention in policymaking literature. The specific aim is to understand why policymakers in the state of NSW (Australia) do nothing about people who experience anomalous visual perception (AVP). Atypical perceptual distortions impact on most life skills, including reading, driving, and playing sport, thus these private subjective experiences pose problems in multiple public policy domains. In the education sector, as parent and teacher, I perceived costs of inaction namely, limited educational opportunity, hence my quest to find out why policy inaction prevails. Theoretical frameworks (Agenda Setting; Multiple Streams; Advocacy Coalition; Path Dependency and the Role of Experts) are used to comprehend policy inaction. A phenomenologically oriented methodology draws on counterfactuals: plausible and possible actions are used to spotlight policy inaction. Counterfactuals are verified by an empirical account of policymaking for students with anomalous visual perception at one NSW high school. Interactions between the Board of Studies, bureaucrats, members of Parliament, parents, and staff are recounted; students’ voices are included, and improved academic results are documented. Yet policy inaction prevails because policymakers are inhibited by the federal contract; by traditions which limit policy options and by a narrow problem frame which confines the problem to the education system. No entrepreneur has attempted to link the problem (illumination-induced perceptual distortions) with the politics (of multi-national lighting standards) and with a solution (adjustable lighting). Epistemic conflict fosters inaction. An ‘epistocracy’ claims the problem is non-existent, vision scientists demur, and philosophers argue against reductionist science. My research demonstrates inaction; contributes to understanding why government does nothing for light sensitive people and it provides a warrant for action.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper aims to develop and partially validate a sector-specific corporate social responsibility (CSR) framework for the private health sector in Saudi Arabia. The framework is developed based on a quantitative approach known as Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is complemented by qualitative analysis through semi-structured interviews with internal stakeholders in the private health sector in Saudi Arabia, including doctors, nurses, and administrators. The study identifies several tensions in the three-stage CSP process, including potential decoupling between policy and implementation, greenwashing in reporting, and challenges related to ambiguity and cultural inertia in an emerging economy context. These tensions highlight the need for policymakers to address issues such as policy inaction and voids that may arise due to prevailing norms. To effectively implement CSR practices, governments must create an enabling environment that supports the development of robust frameworks with appropriate metrics. By addressing these tensions and challenges, organizations can enhance their CSR practices and contribute to sustainable development in emerging economies.

Abstract:
AbstractMaking human rights a reality requires that various types of domestic actors take measures, which is very demanding, all the more so in federal systems. Based on a comparative case study of Swiss cantons, we argue that an important part of the game is played at the subnational level, and not following a top-down trajectory, but with repeated back and forth between and within the levels of governance. Actors use human rights treaties in the policy process, sometimes leading to an engagement that increases human rights implementation, and at other times not. In this chapter, we first explore how international law continues to rely upon states’ domestic political institutions to fulfil international obligations—particularly those obligations that require the adoption of policy measures. We review how this state of affairs points to the central role of domestic actors participating in policy processes at the subnational level. Secondly, we contribute to concept formation, by explaining what we mean by political authorities’ ‘engagement with human rights treaties’, which is a key notion that we will use to describe an often crucial, intermediary condition between inaction and the potential implementation of the treaty.

Abstract:
AbstractData on youth violence show that youth homicide rates have increased in many parts of the world. Vigorously embracing social determinants and promoting health equity as the most effective approach to achieving health policy goals, the global public health community has nevertheless been ineffectual in saving thousands of young lives cut short violence. In the United States, the American Public Health Association has long considered violence to be a public health issue, but only recently acknowledged racism as a factor in violence. Despite a half-century of explicitly legal racial equality, the white majority in the United States have yet to create a normative critical mass of inclusive, equitable social practices to dismantle the legacy of structural racism created by their forebears. This narrative draws from Margaret Urban Walker as a response to the dilemma of white inaction by focusing on moral repair as an intentional social engagement practice to redress the legacy and practice of structural racism and racialized violence. Moral repair is especially applicable to structural racism because it acknowledges the underpinnings of wrongdoing in healing fractured societal relationships.

Abstract:
Climate change is now a reality. Agriculture in India is likely to suffer losses due to heat, erratic weather and decreased availability of irrigation. Adaptation strategies can help minimize the impact. But that will come at a cost although not still accurately measurable and is likely to be high. This also requires new policy support, research and investment. However, cost of inaction will be still higher. Carbon dioxide level is now about 400 ppm which is likely to increase to about 450 to 600 ppm during 2050 and by 2100 it is likely to go up anything above 500 ppm to 1000 ppm if current situation is allowed to continue. This paper attempts to analyse the impact of climate change on Indian agriculture in terms of decreased productivity to be seen in relation to increase in population. And to counter that impact what are the measures being initiated.

Abstract:
Our modern society that is based on innovation is ever more quickly developing. Further and further more, one policy measures and actions are not sufficient in ones ability to solve emerging problems and the resulting challenges. Modern solutions require an inter-sectoral approach and coordination of different policy actors and systematic action. The aim of this article is to show the impact of youth policy as a separate policy area on employment policy, specifically in the Lithuanian labor market. The article focuses on the category of 15–29 year-old inactive youth. The article analyzes individual specific measures of youth policy which affect young people’s ability to integrate and reintegrate into the labor market, best practices from different European Union countries are revised too. The article aims to have an inter-sectoral lens in its outlook and methodology. Inter-sectoral interaction should be perceived as the most effective element in its ability to solve labor market problems of this particular case; particularly through the integration of youth policy measures and the employment policy field. The article analyzes the Lithuanian situation beginning with the start of the Youth Guarantee initiative in Lithuania. The final section of the article identifies conclusions and provides recommendations.

Abstract:
Positron annihilation is a technique uniquely suited to detect vacancies independent of whether they are EPR active or not. In α-SiO2 it has long been suspected that EPR inactive precursors should exist for the E’ centre. Here we show that vacancies are indeed present in as-grown α-SiO2 at a concentration of ~1017/cm3. About 1000 °C these vacancies migrate whereup they form vacancy clusters. 2 MeV electron irradiation introduces additional vacancies but at a highly nonlinear rate. The introduction rate decreases abruptly by a factor of 5 around a dose of 1017e−/cm2. The irradiation-produced vacancies are annealed out at 500 °C well below that for the vacancies in the as-grown α-SiO2. We ascribe the 500 °C annealing stage to recombination with interstitials closely associated with the irradiation-produced vacancies.

Abstract:
College students are prone to a sedentary lifestyle while trying to balance daily challenges and school workload. Sedentariness is associated with increased risk of chronic diseases – obesity, cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes and even cognitive performance. Given that a full-time college student in the US spends more than 15 hours per week sitting in a college classroom, it may be an ideal setting for implementation of Sit-Stand Desk (SSD) to reduce college students’ sedentary time. Graduate and undergraduate students (N = 178) of New Jersey Institute of Technology were randomly recruited to complete an online assessment survey. Participants' mean(standard deviation) age was 22.4(4.7) years old, 63% identified as male, 33% identified as female while 4% were of the other gender class. Among the participants, 44.3% students self-reported to be overweight or obese according to their BMI (>25 kg/m2), 76% students led an inactive/sedentary lifestyle, and 63.5% students did not meet physical activity guidelines. Students’ perceived acceptability of SSD in the classroom was strongly favorable. If SSD were made available in a class that students are currently taking, only about 11% participants preferred not to stand at all during the class time, and 89% students preferred to stand for at least 10% of class time. Most of the students (85% - 99%) predicted either no change or positive change (get better) in all academic factors (focus, restlessness, attention, engagement and boredom) and health factors (physical health, fatigue and back pain), if SSD in introduced in the classroom. Collectively, the findings of this study strongly support students’ acceptability of introducing standing desks in college classrooms. Results of this study should be useful for policy makers regarding classroom designs. Future studies are needed to test the viability and efficacy of introducing sit-stand desks in college classrooms.

Full text
Abstract:
The idea that large numbers of young people in sub-Saharan Africa are stuck in waithood – trapped between childhood and adulthood – dominates international development policy discourse. The belief is that because there are no jobs, young people cannot attain social markers of adulthood. Waithood has proved itself to be a very attractive way to frame debates and promote youth employment interventions. But research challenges two aspects of the waithood story: that young people are inactive; and that work is the only route into adulthood. Caution and nuance are required to prevent waithood becoming another catchy term that does little to improve policy.
