I contrast my picture of the relationship between the science and policy of animal sentience with that of Marian Stamp Dawkins, who thinks "the science of animal sentience and the politics of animal welfare should be kept separate" because they involve irreconcilably different standards of evidence. On my alternative picture, (i) the science of animal sentience, like any other empirical science, delivers evidence but not certainty; (ii) this evidence allows us to make better practical decisions, both within and outside science and (iii) the quality standards we apply to the evidence should be high in all contexts, including the formulation of public policy.

Who gets to decide what it means to live a healthy lifestyle, and how important a healthy lifestyle is to a good life? As more governments make preventing obesity and diet-related illness a priority, it's become more important to consider the ethics and acceptability of their efforts. When it comes to laws and policies that promote healthy eating - such as special taxes on sugary drinks and the banning of food deemed unhealthy - critics argue that these policies are paternalistic, and that they limit individual autonomy over food choices. In 'Healthy Eating Policy and Political Philosophy' Anne Barnhill and Matteo Bonotti show that both paternalistic justifications for healthy eating efforts and anti-paternalistic arguments against them can be grounded in perfectionist views that overly prioritize some values over others.

The main goal of the article is to present to Polish readers the most important information about one of the newer theories of the public policy process - Narrative Policy Framework (NPF). The NPF assumes that public policy narratives play a fundamental role in the public policy process. These are strategically constructed stories about the causes and solutions to public policy problems. Actors use narratives to achieve their goals, for example, implementing policies closest to their preferences. On the example of the government's "Good start" ("Dobry start" in Polish) program, the article presents practical applications of the NPF at the micro, meso, and macro levels.

Globalisation has helped to intensify the international flow of people, information and policies. Following this process there has been increasing global concern regarding problems in areas such as immigration, health, poverty, among others. Various agents are transnationally engaged in common responses to these issues. The classic definition of public policies is related to actions undertaken by governments to solve the problems within their jurisdictions. However, often problems do not respect national boundaries. Sometimes, policies need to involve other nations. This article discusses the main issues, concepts and challenges in the study of global public policies.
First, the article presents a review of the existing literature. Second, it introduces the key agents and agendas of global public policy. The discussion section focuses on the latest challenges and opportunities for research in Global Public Policy studies. Finally, new avenues of research are introduced, such as the dimension of power, the impact of the far-right and the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This article is about Bhutan's success in conserving natural resources and the environment through its organizational and public policy perspectives. At the same time, it analyses the weaknesses and strengths of Bhutan's policy and organizational management in environmental conservation. The integration of the sustainable development approach and the Mahayana Buddhism philosophy has led to the creation of the Gross National Happiness (GNH) which is an important concept that drives the Bhutan government to pay more attention to environmental protection. The close relationship between the Bhutanese and the environment is in accordance with the old beliefs and the influence of Buddhism has contributed to the successful implementation of the government's environmental policy. In addition, the driving force behind the environmental policy has been to design an organizational structure that promotes public participation in order to truly reflect the problem and contribute to sustainable solutions. Integrating indigenous ideas with international principles and building public participation, which indicates Bhutan's success in driving environmental policy, is an important finding of this work.

The numbers of street vendors around the world prove that they play a significant role in a vibrant and dynamic global economy. They are the ones who greet us around the world as we embark on our day-to-day journeys. And while some people appreciate the commodities and enticing cuisine they offer, not everyone perceives these vendors as a convenience. In many regions of the world, street vendors are viewed as destitute peoples who pollute public spaces and do not fit within the neoliberalist concept of a global city. What this synthesis map intends to do is bring to light how policy currently deals with street vending, look at street vending on public spaces and people's perception of it, and finally make some suggestions as to how policymakers might approach this important issue. Through an analysis of academic papers, an online survey, and several Zoom interviews, I looked to gain a perspective on the matter. Having grown up around street vendors for a significant part of my early life, I also sought to inform my own bias towards them. Governments in the Global South know how difficult it is to design and implement a functional public space and mobility policy so hopefully, this content can provide some guidance.
