Social:Timeline of governance and policy studies 2020–present

From HandWiki

Timeline of significant events in policy studies, governance studies, [[international relations studies and [[security studies that are related to policy (or policies) in or for multiple countries, internationally or globally.

Studies or events relating to policies within only a single country as well as reports by think tanks and other organizations that were not published in an academic journal are not included here.

Environmental policy

Funding for climate research in the natural and technical sciences versus the social sciences and humanities[1]
2020
  • February – A study reviews the literature on climate change mitigation (CCM) co-benefits, concluding that these benefits are commonly overlooked in policy-making. Such benefits include physical activity, soil and water quality, energy security and air quality. The share of studies "quantifying or monetizing co-benefits" is found to be limited, despite often equaling or exceeding CCM benefits values.[2][better source needed][3]
  • March – A study reviews and assesses climate change mitigation polices for global industry (alongside technologies).[4][5]
  • March – A study with over 3,600 signatories assesses the EU's Common Agricultural Policy, broadly describing 10 "action points for delivering sustainable food production, biodiversity conservation and climate mitigation".[6][7]
  • April – A review shows that and how economic (GDP) growth contributes to biodiversity loss, despite the majority of international biodiversity and sustainability policies advocating for economic growth and outlines broad policy proposals to move beyond the growth paradigm while enhancing overall prosperity.[8][9]
  • June – A study assesses the political impact of the Sustainable Development Goals on institutions and policies across countries and globally based on over 3,000 studies, suggesting that the goals' impact has been "largely discursive, affecting the way actors understand and communicate about sustainable development" but otherwise had "only limited transformative political impact".[10][11]
2021
  • February – A study concludes that the rates of emissions reductions need to increase by 80% beyond NDCs to meet the 2 °C upper target range of the Paris Agreement, that the probabilities of major emitters meeting their NDCs without such an increase is very low, estimating that with current trends the probability of staying below 2 °C of warming is 5% and if NDCs were met and continued post-2030 by all signatory systems 26%.[12][13]
  • August – A study suggests that the global policy Montreal Protocol intended to control the production of ozone-depleting substances has also substantially mitigated climate change.[14][15]
  • September – A study reports that transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy systems reduces risks from mining, trade and political dependence because renewable energy systems don't need fuel – they depend on trade only for the acquisition of materials and components during construction.[16][17]
  • November – A study contributes to a disentangling of the current geopolitical and economic implications of and incentives for a swift renewable energy transition, suggesting i.a. that how fast fossil energy markets decline is primarily decided by the major energy importers China, India, Japan and the EU and that transition dynamics may reverse the free-rider problem in the case of energy sectors, specifically from strategic national standpoints which are not short-term.[18][19]
Trends in atmospheric CO
2
and global temperature change – climate policies
Updated probabilistic forecast of CO2 emissions, based on data to 2015 and the method of Raftery et al.[13]
2022
  • June – An analysis of city planning policies of 25 cities suggest that, "despite common policy rhetoric endorsing healthy and sustainable cities, there was a paucity of measurable policy targets in place to achieve these aspirations".[20][21]
  • June – A systematic review aggregates 530 policy proposals from the degrowth literature, divided into 13 policy themes, and assesses their overall precision, frequency, quality, and diversity.[22][additional citation(s) needed][23]

Policies in society

2021
  • April – A study proposes "redistributing the national carbon pricing revenues domestically as an equal-per-capita climate dividend".[24][25]
  • June – Academics argue that climate policy models need to reflect social realities and possibilities as they are built on "an oversimplified logic: that people are rational optimizers of scarce resources".[26][27]
  • October – A multilevel approach to examining climate policy support concludes anticipated policy impacts predicted policy support more strongly than perceived climate risks.[28][29]
2022

Space policy

A study outlines rationale for space governance of satellites/space debris similar to terrestrial environmental regulations.
2021
  • November – A study reports that, as plans for space exploration and commercial use expand rapidly, planetary biosecurity protocols should be substantially enhanced with sophisticated protocols – beyond goals and recommendations – being "required to prevent biological contamination of extraterrestrial environments from Earth and vice versa".[34][35]
2022

Security studies

Studies from the fields of security studies about policies.

Health policy

Health policy studies that are not substantially related to environmental issues or mainly about security.

Life expectancy vs healthcare spending of rich OECD countries[43]
2020
  • March – A study reviews social policy experiments to improve health.[44][45]
2021
  • January – A study reviews tobacco control policies worldwide.[46][47]
  • April – A study reviews policies – such as targeted taxes or subsidies for truly healthy foods – to reduce ultra-processed food consumption and promote healthier eating.[48][better source needed][49]
  • May – Psychiatrists report that in drug liberalization "more genuine and sounder reform concepts are needed" to "genuinely move 'drug use' from a crime to a public health issue" and that such would "require consideration of legalization and regulation frameworks".[50][51]
  • June – Influence of "vested corporate interests on the activities of the World Health Organization and UN bodies" is investigated, with a study exploring "how ultra-processed food industry actors have attempted to influence [non-communicable disease] policy at WHO".[52][53]
  • November – An analysis of 194 countries concludes that aggregate policy score mean implementation of WHO-recommended population-level policies against non-communicable diseases had increased only slowly – from 39% in 2015 to 47% in 2020 – and had reversed for a third of all policies, with implementation lowest for policies relating to alcohol, tobacco, and unhealthy foods.[54][55]
  • November – Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a meta-analysis investigates and compares the efficacy of public health COVID-19 mitigation policies.[56][57]
2022
  • August – An expert survey study indicates there may be substantial difference in drug policy and "professional beliefs about psychoactive drugs among psychiatrists".[58][59]

General and other

2020
  • May – A study presents a new approach to innovation policy "in which the state is not only fixing markets but actively co-creating them", concluding i.a. that policies "that explicitly take into consideration the risk-taking entrepreneurial role of the state, can positively affect reward distributions and favor more equitable public–private partnerships".[60][61]
2021
  • June – A study introduces a typology of identified strategies used by industries to maximise the volume, credibility, reach, and use of industry-favourable science.[62][better source needed][63]
  • August – A study illustrates "how the fossil fuel industry has funded biased economic analyses to oppose climate policy".[64][65]
  • October – Researchers release a "policy sequencing" framework, in particular for policies of polycentric governance for completely halting and preventing deforestation based on data about already implemented government-designed policies, UN-decided REDD+ initiatives and voluntary private sector initiatives of recent deforestation interventions.[66][67]
2022
  • 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine: Scientists warn that policy-makers should not abandon sustainable farming practices to increase grain production in response to resulting food insecurity, but change "the demand side which can lead to both a more resilient and more sustainable global food system"[68] – such as limiting the import of animal feed[69] – and e.g. expanding wheat production in high-productivity areas (March).[70] A researcher outlined a number of possible major policy-based actions that could mitigate the energy and resource crises caused or exacerbated by the war (June).[71] In a study, researchers argue that "expansion of the natural gas infrastructure [in Europe in response to the Russian invasion] hinders a renewable energy future and is no bridge technology".[72][73][74]

  • March – Wicked Problems in Public Policy is published. In the book, a researcher provides analysis and reflection about solving complex and wicked problems in terms of solution-contributions of research and analysis and approaches to solving them have developed along/within society in recent years.[75][additional citation(s) needed][76] One chapter highlights a problem of evidence-based policy approaches that "Evidence and expertise are mobilised selectively by policy actors to influence the perceived credibility of their own favoured policy options".[77]

Digital policy

Financial policies

Policies relating to anti-money laundering, tax-evasion/tax havens, sourcing of finances for policies and similar topics or fields.

2020
  • February – A study concludes that "anti-money laundering policy intervention has less than 0.1 percent impact on criminal finances, compliance costs exceed recovered criminal funds more than a hundred times over, and banks, taxpayers and ordinary citizens are penalized more than criminal enterprises". It suggests "The 'success rate' of Europe's anti-money laundering effort is puny. Likewise, globally."[80][81]

Research and development, organization and coordination

Research and development relating to policy-making or policy analysis as well as associated organizations or coordination.

2021
  • March – The Decarbonisation Policy Evaluation Tool,[82] an online interface that systematically synthesizes "in an easily searchable manner what is known – and what is not known – about the impact of different policies used to accelerate low-carbon energy transitions on a set of seven performance indicators", is introduced in a study. The study summarizes findings about outcomes and trade-offs of ten types of decarbonization policy instruments, suggesting that policies "can be designed and balanced to benefit local firms and lower-income families".[83][84]
  • August – A study concludes that personal carbon allowances (PCAs) could be a component of climate change mitigation adn suggest that that the economic recovery from COVID-19 and novel digital technology capacities open a window of opportunity for first trial implementations in climate-conscious technologically advanced countries. PCAs would consist of – e.g. monetary – credit-feedbacks and decreasing default levels – aligned with calculated regional maximum emissions for emission-target achievement – of per capita emissions allowances.[85][86][87]

Science–policy interface

2021
  • February – Scientists argue that there is a need for a "global science-policy body on chemicals and waste".[88][89]
  • June – A study identifies 14 strategies to building trust at the interface of environmental science and policy and suggest that such is a "critical pre-condition for achieving evidence-informed policy".[90][91]
