Mechanisms to Support Interventions Involving the Police When Responding to Persons Experiencing a Mental Health Crisis
Mental health crisis interventions involving police originated in the United States. In England and Wales, street triage services (a UK term used to describe urgent mental health and police interventions) were piloted in 2013. These models involve police and mental health services working together to ensure individuals receive the required support. Evaluation findings have shown inconsistent outcomes based on studies predominately limited to sing…
Partnerships of developmental pragmatism
Beijing has responded to the environmental and transparency concerns of its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) by transforming it into a ‘green BRI’. This article examines the agency of the BRI host countries and develops a relational model of their partnership with China to explain the dynamics behind the greenwashing of the of the BRI. Such a partnership, which we term as developmental pragmatism, features utilitarian and transactional arrangements…
Modelling scenarios in planning for future employment growth in Stockholm
The City of Stockholm is conducting a scenario planning exercise to explore where potential future office development should be planned: closer to the city centre as in the status quo, in peripheral hubs on the outskirts of the city, or dispersed throughout multiple neighbourhoods. To support this exercise, this paper models these three scenarios using a nested work location and dynamic activity-based scheduling model. Our model predicts that hig…
The dark side of digitalization and social media platform governance
Purpose Social media platforms are a pervasive technology that continues to define the modern world. While social media has brought many benefits to society in terms of connection and content sharing, numerous concerns remain for the governance of social media platforms going forward, including (but not limited to) the spread of misinformation, hate speech and online surveillance. However, the voice of citizens and other non-experts is often miss…
Open e-learning platforms and the design–reality gap
Purpose The dropout rates of open e-learning platforms are often cited as high as 97%, with many users discontinuing their use after initial acceptance. This study aims to explore this anomaly through the lens of affordances theory, revealing design–reality gaps between users' diverse goals and the possibilities for action provided by an open IT artefact. Design/methodology/approach A six-month case study was undertaken to investigate the design …
Payment Discrepancies and Access to Primary Care Physicians for Dual-eligible Medicare-Medicaid Beneficiaries
BACKGROUND: Physicians often receive lower payments for dual-eligible Medicare-Medicaid beneficiaries versus nondual Medicare beneficiaries because of state reimbursement caps. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) primary care fee bump temporarily eliminated this differential in 2013-2014. OBJECTIVE: To examine how dual payment policy impacts primary care physicians' (PCP) acceptance of duals. RESEARCH DESIGN: We assessed differences in the likelihood t…
Regulating Blockchain, DLT and Smart Contracts
Blockchain, Smart Contracts and other forms of Distributed Ledger Technology provide means to ensure that processes are verifiable, transparent, and tamper-proof. Yet the very same enabling features that bring decentralisation also pose challenges to providing protection for the various users and stakeholders. Most jurisdictions which have implemented regulatory frameworks in this area have focused on regulating the financial aspects of cryptocur…

In total, 293 studies were analyzed leading to the development of an overview model in the field of PSU, presenting findings on demographic factors, explanations for smartphone use and why this use becomes problematic, consequences of PSU, and how suc…
Competing Visions of the Rule of Law in Southeast Asia
This article introduces a special issue on the emergent relationship between the rhetoric and implementation of the rule of law concept in Southeast Asia. It thematically introduces four country case studies (Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam), and the case of ASEAN’s adoption of the rule of law in region-building, which are included in this special issue. We highlight how ideals that are arguably central to the “tradition” of the rule of l…
Rule of Law Expedited
The development of rule of law is touted as one of the most important considerations in Burma (Myanmar) today, yet its meaning is highly contested after fifty years of military rule. This paper will examine how the rule of law in Burma’s transitional political environment has been influenced by the legacies of military rule and the government’s development policies since 2011. A series of laws introduced by the Thein Sein government under the rub…
The Patient Held Active Record of Medication Status (PHARMS) Feasibility Study
Introduction: Medication errors are a major source of preventable morbidity, mortality and cost. Many errors occur during transitional care, in particular at the primary-secondary care interface at the time of hospital admission and discharge. Novel interventions are required to facilitate integrated care and accurate transfer of medication information at this interface. With existing evidence supporting the use of information technology (IT) and…
Myanmar in 2016
The new government in Myanmar in 2016 faced many of its predecessor’s challenges; however, some progress was made in policy reversals and legislative reform. Although the government hosted a major ethnic peace conference, violence erupted again in Rakhine State as community tensions transformed into armed conflict. The country experienced more flooding, an earthquake, and a slowing economy locked into falling commodity prices
The evolution of rule of law in Cambodia
Cambodian leaders have confounded the efforts of the international community to promote rule of law. Over the past decade the Cambodian government has introduced a series of legal reforms and overseen an increase in the use of legal proceedings including defamation lawsuits against opposition politicians and members of civil society. These reforms and practices, as well as the role of the judiciary in relation to each, may be better understood th…
Politics and Constitutions in Southeast Asia
In recent years the constitutional landscape of Southeast Asia has changed tremendously. Against a worldwide background of liberalization, globalization, and democratization, states in the region have begun to alter their constitutions, reinforcing human rights provisions, and putting in place institutional safeguards, such as constitutional courts and human rights commissions. On closer examination, however, the picture is very complex, with con…
Myanmar in 2015
The general election dominated events in Myanmar, while the government pushed for a Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement before the polls. Attention was drawn to student protests and the plight of the Rohingya boat people. Major flooding caused havoc throughout the country and moderated expectations for economic growth. Throughout the year, the government and opposition parties dealt with internal management issues, voter and candidate lists, and parti…
The limits of civil society in militarised regimes
The nature of civil society is transformed by a strong military presence, which occurs in the Asia-Pacific region. While modern civil society survives under military rule through co-optation, veiled resistance or geography, traditional organisations may continue to threaten the state's dominance of political society. This article examines the nature of civil society in two countries in the Asia-Pacific that have recently emerged from direct milit…
Norm diffusion and the limits to forestry governance reform in Southeast Asia's new democracies
The return of the World Bank Group (WBG) to Burma after some 25 years' absence, along with other international financial organizations, follows a series of extraordinary political reforms that have taken place in the country since 2010. Burma has made a transition from 50 years of authoritarian rule to what its leaders call 'disciplined democracy'. This paper examines the likely consequences of the Bank's return for the forestry sector in Burma a…
Soldiers, chiefs and church
The qualities of democracy in Fiji are strongly influenced by ethnic divisions and indigenous sources of power and legitimacy in society. Periods of constitutional democracy interrupted by successive coups garnering conflicting support suggest that a more stable Fijian democracy requires a delicate balance of tribal, religious, ethnic and military interests. Successful democratic and governance reform requires the inclusive deliberation of all ma…
The political economy of tropical deforestation
There is renewed interest in identifying the causes of deforestation because it contributes about 17% of the annual emissions of greenhouse gases. Despite considerable efforts, universal causes of tropical deforestation remain elusive. The existing models of tropical deforestation are assessed, and the problems involved in approaching the issue through the lens of governance reforms are examined. Although corruption continues to thrive, global an…
Legitimacy under Military Rule
Burma has been under direct or indirect military rule for almost half a century. This article blends historical and thematic examinations of the sources of legitimacy relied upon by the Burmese armed forces during this time. These include their role in the battle against ethnic separatist and communist insurgencies, the promotion and defense of Buddhism, the reinvigoration of monarchical traditions, and their claims to economic stewardship and re…
Chartering a New Direction? Burma and the Evolution of Human Rights in Asean
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations's (ASEAN) new charter provides for the creation of a human rights body. Given ASEAN's prior reluctance to make progress on the issue of human rights, many questions have been raised over such a body's likely power and relevance. In this article, the author examines ASEAN's "consensus" on human rights, its previous experience with regional declarations, and the events that have motivated the organization'…
Overturning the alms bowl

The Buddhist political rhetoric of Aung San Suu Kyi
