The remaining unknowns
INTRODUCTION: In March 2020, the WHO released a Global Research Roadmap in an effort to coordinate and accelerate the global research response to combat COVID-19 based on deliberations of 400 experts across the world. Three months on, the disease and our understanding have both evolved significantly. As we now tackle a pandemic in very different contexts and with increased knowledge, we sought to build on the work of the WHO to gain a more curren…
Are All Foreign Policy Innovators Created Equal? The New Generation of Congressional Foreign Policy Entrepreneurship
This study revisits Carter and Scott’s model of congressional foreign policy entrepreneurship (2004, 2009, 2010) to evaluate how a new generation of legislative innovators, including Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz, may influence US foreign policy. Specifically, this study proposes two new types of foreign policy entrepreneurs in Congress—“revolutionaries” and “mercenaries”—and examines their different motivations, policy objectives, and strategi…
“Leading from behind”
In March 2011, President Barack Obama ordered US air and naval forces to commence Operation Odyssey Dawn in Libya to impose a no-fly zone. The decision by the Obama Administration to intervene in a limited and supporting role in Libya is an important development in US foreign policy. Operation Odyssey Dawn presents scholars with a valuable opportunity to analyze and explore how US foreign policy is made and what roles domestic politics and elite …

Obama's Surge
This study examines the decision-making process leading to President Barack Obama's decision to order a troop surge in Afghanistan in December 2009. I analyze the decision-making process according to the precepts of the bureaucratic politics model and conclude that the bureaucratic politics model provides a compelling and descriptively accurate account of the Afghanistan surge decision-making process. Actors' policy preferences were influenced by…
Managing Relative Decline
The Defense Strategic Guidance (DSG), released by the White House in January 2012, was widely acknowledged as the most significant reassessment of America's strategic posture in a decade. Sustaining U.S. Global Leadership: Priorities for 21st Century Defense is not simply a response to systemic-level threats and interests, but reflected principles best articulated by neoclassical realism (NCR). By examining systemic, domestic, and elite influence…
Can subjective well-being measures be used to value policy outcomes? The example of engagement in culture
Economic analysis of public policy invariably requires the valuation of non-market goods. The methods conventionally relied on by economists to estimate these values are, however, subject to a number of limitations, both methodological and philosophical. Given these concerns, economists have identified alternative valuation methods, such as the use of subjective well-being (SWB) measures. SWB measures hold much promise, but face a number of chall…
The Contemporary Presidency The Administrator as Outsider
This article examines the role of former National Security Advisor ( NSA ) J ames J ones in the O bama administration. I argue that Jones served as an administrator and failed to achieve a close advisory relationship with the president and ceded many aspects of coordination and management of the foreign policy‐making process to D eputy NSA T om D onilon and other actors within the administration. The article then concludes with a discussion of th…

An increase in the burden of neonatal admissions to a rural district hospital in Kenya over 19 years
There is clear evidence of increasing burden in neonatal admissions at a rural district hospital in contrast to reducing numbers of non-neonatal paediatrics' admissions aged ≤ 5 years. Though the inpatient case fatality for all admissions aged ≤ 5 years declined significantly, neonates now comprise close to 60% of all inpatient deaths. Simple indicators may identify neonates at risk of death
Do You Get What You Pay for? Assessing the Use of Prison from an Economic Perspective
This article assesses the relative economic costs and benefits of alternative sentences. A conceptual economic model is developed in which the benefits are the rehabilitation, incapacitation, deterrence and retribution effects of prison. A review of the literature was undertaken to identify economic studies that measure these effects. The evidence available tends to focus on costs and the rehabilitation and incapacitation effects. The evidence on…

Perceptions of symptoms of severe childhood malaria among Mijikenda and Luo residents of Coastal Kenya
Effective community based malaria control programmes require an understanding of current perceptions of malaria as a disease and its severe manifestations. Quantitative and qualitative surveys of mothers on the Kenyan Coast suggest that fever is conceptualised in biomedical terms whereas the aetiology of severe malaria is perceived to be of more complex cultural origin. This is reflected in the treatments sought for convulsions. The results are d…
How useful are verbal autopsies to estimate childhood causes of death
Verbal autopsies (VAs) are widely used to describe causes of death in individuals who die outside hospital or clinic settings. However, they have received surprisingly little validation. The technique assumes that diseases which cause death can be readily distinguished from one another by distinct syndromes, and that these can be reported accurately by lay respondents. This paper describes the potential problems of syndrome definition and the lik…
