• W4236049410 abstract "This issue of the Policy Studies Journal presents an excellent set of articles that reflect the mission of the journal, a mission that encompasses the depth and breadth of cutting edge research on policy making processes. The first three articles address environmental justice reflecting a further accumulation of knowledge on a critical topic. Environmental justice has been a consistent theme in the journal for over 20 years, and these three manuscripts reflect the forefront of research. The lead article by Konisky and Reenock (2018) examines the incentives of regulators to engage in two forms of enforcement activities—political, in which regulators respond to mobilized interests, and instrumental, in which regulators respond to environmental risk. Using an original dataset that combines risk data from the EPA, census tract community data, and facility level enforcement data, they find that state regulators use both types of enforcement activities, but unevenly among communities. African American and Hispanic communities receive less regulatory attention, and, in particular, Hispanic communities that lack advocacy groups receive less attention, regardless of the environmental risks they face. Teodoro, Haider, and Switzer (2018) address enforcement of and compliance with the Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act on American Indian Tribal lands by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. When the major U.S. environmental laws were adopted in the 1970s, they did not include American Indian Tribes. This situation changed in the 1990s, but tribal experiences surrounding environmental monitoring and enforcement are greatly understudied. As the authors note, this is the first large-scale environmental justice study addressing American Indian tribes that they are aware of. In line with prior environmental justice research, they find that tribal facilities experience less rigorous enforcement and are more likely to violate the laws protecting water quality compared to similar nontribal facilities. As the authors note, why less enforcement and less compliance occurs on tribal lands is not clear. However, they lay out a series of testable research questions that deserve attention. In the third manuscript in the series, Liang (2018) focuses on the interplay between states’ immigration policies and monitoring and enforcement of environmental laws in Latino communities. She hypothesizes that states that exhibit moderately to highly restrictive immigration policies will provide fewer services to Latino populations, including environmental activities. Examining Clean Air Act monitoring and enforcement actions by state agencies she finds some support for the hypothesis, less monitoring occurs of facilities in Latino communities, however, enforcement actions are not significantly different compared to non-Latino communities. This line of research suggests the potential importance of accounting for the larger policy environment when studying the implementation of environmental laws. The breadth of cutting edge research on policy-making processes is reflected in the four manuscripts that address narratives, evidence, and learning. Research grounded in the study of narratives and evidence is a relatively new line of inquiry that has rapidly escalated over the last 7–10 years, adding richness and breadth to the study of policy-making processes. The emergence of the Narrative Policy Framework highlights the centrality of narratives and Schlaufer (2018) further develops the concept by examining the different uses of evidence by competing coalitions in the Swiss education policy subsystem. Winning and losing coalitions incorporated evidence into their narratives in distinct ways, suggesting that evidence plays a much more important role than previously thought, requiring additional attention in future studies. Gupta, Ripberger, and Wehde (2018) also contribute to the growing body of research grounded in the NPF. Importantly, they analyze twitter messages of competing advocacy groups in the U.S. nuclear energy subsystem. They find that twitter messages contain narrative elements as well as strategies reflective of the beliefs and positions of the advocacy groups. These findings suggest new lines of research using social media. While Rietig (2018) uses the Advocacy Coalitions Framework as opposed to the closely related Narrative Policy Framework, she continues the focus on uses of evidence. In particular, she examines the links between scientific evidence, changes in beliefs, and the transformation of subsystem politics, using the case of biofuels policy of the European Renewable Energy Directive. The manuscript represents a notable contribution to the dynamics of advocacy coalitions and policy subsystems. As Löblová (2018) points out, evidence is often developed and introduced into policy subsystems through epistemic communities. However, the causal mechanisms through which epistemic communities exercise influence on policy making is not well understood. Using a comparison of two cases of epistemic communities, one successful (the Polish health technology assessment agency) and one unsuccessful (the Czech health technology assessment agency), Löblová examines different factors conditioning success and how those factors may be disrupted. The manuscript demonstrates the continued importance of epistemic communities and the need for further theorizing about their roles in policymaking. The final manuscript in this issue represents an emerging and promising area of research, policy-making processes in China. Liu, Tang, Zhan, and Lo (2018) examine the effects of political commitment and policy ambiguity on corporate environmental management practices in the Pearl River Delta region of China. Drawing upon implementation literatures developed by Chinese scholars and by western scholars, the authors examine the responses of enterprises to their political and regulatory contexts. China represents a critically important context for theorizing on policy making processes, and this manuscript is an excellent example. The journal welcomes theoretically grounded, empirical work on China and Asian countries in general. The mission of the PSJ is to provide scholars with the finest theoretically grounded and empirically sound research on theories of policy making processes. The innovative research represented in this issue also illustrates its global character. From the United States and its Native Nations, to the EU, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Poland, and China, no nation is exempt from fruitful study." @default.
