Welcome to the second issue of the Policy Studies Journal (PSJ) for 2024! We are thrilled to present this issue, which includes 10 exceptional research articles meticulously selected to cover a wide range of topics within policy theories and substantive policy areas as they relate to policy processes across different contexts. Before we dive into the articles, we want to pause and share some exciting updates about PSJ operations. These developments are designed to enhance the journal's contribution to the field, offering new opportunities for engagement and discourse among our community.As discussed elsewhere, we have expanded the range of article types that we publish, including short articles such as research notes and perspectives, and Policy Theory & Practice (PT&P) articles. If you plan to submit your manuscript to PSJ, we urge you not to worry too much about which article type is the best fit for your manuscript. Instead, focus on the quality of your research, and we will sort out any article type issues later. When submitting your manuscript, we encourage you to select PT&P as your possible publication option. Should your manuscript not align perfectly with the standard PSJ research article, we will evaluate it for publication under PT&P. It is important to note that PT&P operates as a rolling special issue within PSJ, meaning that your article, if accepted for PT&P, will be published as a part of the PSJ collection.We have a few updates regarding ongoing special issue initiatives. Drs. Saba Siddiki (PSJ Associate Editor) and Davor Mondom (PSJ Managing Editor) have successfully managed the manuscript review process for the Policy Design special issue, collaborating with Drs. Cali Curley (University of Miami) and Tomás Olivier (Syracuse University). We are delighted with the progress made and grateful for their leadership throughout the process. Dr. Holly Peterson (PSJ Associate Editor) is leading a special issue on Policy Advisory Systems (https:// psjbl og. net/ 2024/ 03/ 25/ the-polic y-studi es-journ al-psj-invit es-submi ssion s-for-a-speci al-issue -focus ing-on-polic y-advis ory-syste ms/ ) while working with Drs. Jonathan Craft (University of Toronto) and Claire Dunlop (University of Exeter). Additionally, Drs. Geoboo Song (PSJ Editor-in-Chief), Gwen Arnold (PSJ Associate Editor), and Aaron Smith-Walter (PSJ Associate Editor) are curating a special issue focusing on the conception of power (https:// psjbl og. net/ 2024/ 04/ 19/ call-for-paper s-psj-speci al-issue -on-power -in-polic y-theor y-resea rch/ ) while working with many other prominent policy scholars. We welcome your submissions for these special issues.In March, we hosted a virtual "Authors Meet Editors" event in collaboration with the American Political Science Association (APSA) Public Policy Section. We had the opportunity to engage in stimulating conversations with policy scholars from around the world about PSJ, review processes, research trends, and publication tips.

<p>The literature on political short-termism holds that multiple factors in current democratic systems drive political short-termism, leading to delays in government responses to long-term policy challenges, such as global climate change. In this article, I argue that these factors do not necessarily work as drivers of political short-termism. To show this, I first review the literature on political short-termism and identify electoral cycles, voters’ policy preferences, and interest-group behavior as potential drivers of political short-termism. I then examine the influence of these potential drivers of political short-termism on climate policymaking, drawing on recent empirical studies. I find that elected governments and politicians can, in some cases, (1) have incentives to pursue climate policies in the run-up to elections, (2) build public support for climate policies, and (3) overcome organized opposition to climate legislation. These findings suggest that although electoral cycles, voters’ policy preferences, and interest-group behavior may induce political short-termism, such negative effects on policymaking are conditional on other variables.</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
