“…Circumstances with diffused costs and concentrated benefits at the individual patient level are typically favorable for advancing policy. 40 However, the low socioeconomic status of many trauma patients suggests that this patient population has limited political capital to direct additional resources toward patient safety.…”

Key Points Question Is a postoperative infection after a fracture associated with long-term income loss? Findings This cohort study of 11 673 patients that linked 14 years of academic trauma center data with state tax records estimated that, among patients with fractures treated surgically, a postoperative infection was associated with a $6080 decrease in annual household income in the 6 years after injury. Meaning This study suggests that postoperative infections have significant and sustained income-associated implications for patients with a fracture.

“…Political communities that formulate global health policies include health experts, researchers and public health practitioners, local government officials, social scientists, legal experts and other highly experienced modelers who may better understand the current and future risks and impacts of the pandemic (Stone, 2019). However, mitigating COVID-19 depends on the decision-making capacity of policymakers and local bureaucrats.…”

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the fragility of government institutions and prompted a broad range of policy measures from governments around the world. Policy responses to the pandemic have varied considerably, both in nature and in success. This paper highlights the policy capacities of the UAE in different areas that have contributed to managing the COVID-19 crisis. Specifically, the paper examines the functional capacity, analytical capacity, fiscal capacity, well-timed information-sharing capacity and political capacity of the UAE in addressing the pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThe study on which this paper was based adopted a mixed-method approach to analyze policy capacities. The trajectory and timeframe of COVID-19 from February 2020 to February 2021 were observed intensively and included in the policy capacity analysis. The secondary dataset was collected from several sources and assessed using rapid content analysis to highlight the formal and institutional policy measures implemented during the crisis. To complement the policy analysis and understand the key role of policymakers, semi-structured interviews were conducted with local officials working in various line departments that formulate and implement policy strategies for the UAE government.FindingsThe findings of the study showed that although COVID-19 has severely impacted the UAE, the nation has effectively controlled the spread of the virus and reduced its mortality rate. The UAE government has taken swift policy actions concerning coercive control and mitigation based on a centralized decision-making style, the strengthening of administrative capacity by collaboration, coordination with different departments, successful communication with residents, the allocation of adequate financial resources and a high level of trust in the government by citizens.Originality/valueThis work contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the policy capacity approach to managing the crisis. The UAE case can be used by policymakers as comparative studies of policy designs, tools and capabilities that can be implemented to manage future pandemics and other crises.

“…On the other hand, however, the 'Fridays for Future' movement and crisis management during the COVID-19 pandemic have forced politicians to listen to science (Thunberg, 2019). Further, recent years have seen the emergence of organizations that go beyond the classic typology of bridging science and policy in domestic policy, and, at the international level, the triad of science in diplomacy, diplomacy for science, and science for diplomacy (Legrand and Stone, 2018;Stone, 2020). These new types of third sector advocacy organizations (such as the Alliance for Useful Evidence, Sense about Science, and Science for Democracy) seek to promote a society-wide, political discussion on the "right to science," often beyond the domains of domestic policy and inter-state cooperation.…”

The Future of the Policy Sciences

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Policy research has generated profound insights on the policy process. However, the granularity of the policy sciences makes it difficult to integrate policy analysis into the 'big questions' facing the vision of the open society, such as democratic backsliding, corruption, the polarization of electorates, the de-legitimization of expertise, and the fault-lines between governments and citizens. By integrating different dimensions, from public health to the economy and human rights, the COVID-19 pandemic has urged our discipline to identify novel responses and new approaches to tackle the big questions. The future of the policy sciences must find an anchor in a reflection on our roles as researchers, questioning our vision, tasks, and role in society: what is a policy scholar for? This is for us, reflective scholars, the truly big question behind all the other 'big questions' that open societies face today. We outline the coordinates of a possible answer by looking closely at five key verbs that define the role of the policy scholar: learning, analysing, advising, empowering and reflecting. In the conclusions, we discuss the ways in which enabling these actions can expand our public policy imagination and professional relevance.
