Disasters disproportionately harm populations that face structural, social, or economic barriers to preparedness and recovery. While local governments are responsible for much of emergency management in the United States, relatively little is known about the conditions under which they adopt preparedness measures specifically designed to accommodate vulnerable populations. This study examines the factors associated with local emergency preparedness efforts using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA). Drawing on survey data from eme...

Sustainability in the land of smiles: evaluating environment, social, and governance (ESG) alignment between strategies and practices of Thai government organizations
Wimonmat Srichamroen
J. Policy Stud. 2026;41(3):27-48.
https://doi.org/10.52372/jps.260336
The triple bottom line (TBL) of social, economic, and environmental sustainability framework serves as a critical model for organizational sustainability by requiring a balanced integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, yet how government organizations translate these principles internally remains an under-researched operational impediment, especially in Thailand. Investigating Thai government organizations with explicit commitments to macro sustainability, this study examines why a structural chasm persists between ...

Public workforce expansion: how institutional restructuring embodies the new public bureaucracy
Annika Naschitzki , Karl Löfgren
J. Policy Stud. 2026;41(3):49-65.
https://doi.org/10.52372/jps.260338
Institutional restructuring in public organisations is often associated with downsizing, where organisations reduce employee numbers and consolidate functions. Yet restructuring is equally a mechanism through which organisations grow, expand functions, and rearticulate how work is divided and coordinated. Where does that growth concentrate, and what does it reveal about where contemporary public administrations direct institutional resources? This study draws on the emerging concept of a “new public bureaucracy”, characterised by an expansi...

Knowledge, decision-making, and pension reform in Latin America: comparative evidence from Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay
Nelson D. Cardozo
J. Policy Stud. 2026;41(3):67-85.
https://doi.org/10.52372/jps.260389
Pension reform is a technically complex and distributively contentious field in which governments must reconcile income protection, fiscal sustainability, contributory incentives, gender equity, and political legitimacy. Yet research on pension reform usually treats knowledge as an input to politics rather than examining how knowledge is organized, authorized, and translated into decisions. This article compares the 2006–2008 pension reform cycle in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay to explain how different modes of knowledge use and decision-mak...

The feminine gender role penalty: gender role expression, compensation, and sector differences in wage outcomes
Jillian Girard
J. Policy Stud. 2026;41(3):87-102.
https://doi.org/10.52372/jps.260335
Equal pay for males and females has been a focus of legislation for decades, yet closing the wage gap remains a persistent challenge. While traditional explanatory factors such as biological sex, education, tenure, and age account for much of the variation in wages, the remaining unexplained portion suggests that additional factors may contribute to pay inequities. One largely unexplored area in the equal pay literature is the relationship between gender role and wages. Drawing on gender role and role congruity theories, this study hypothesizes...
