This article reviews policy issues involved in maternity leave or parental leave. Findings from the Wisconsin Maternity Leave and Health Project, a longitudinal interview study of 570 women and 550 of their husbands/ partners, are discussed, focusing especially on the issues of maternity leave and women's mental health, and fathers’ patterns of taking parental leave. I stress the importance of empirical research if feminist psychologists are to have an impact on public policy.

Quality Of Governance

Public policy and policy making is an inherent task of the institutions and state for the purpose of well-knit and sustainable governance in the society and organisation as well as in the state. The quality of governance is based upon how visionary the public policy is and how far it has been implemented. The aspect of sustainability thrives on the perspective that policy making should be inclusive having inter-generational justice. The chapter attempts to look into how far history has played its role in policymaking of the state and civil society. It also looked into how history had a role in the foreign policy making of the state. Analogies can be drawn from the past experience into the present decision making which can have a reflection in the future as well. Lyndon Johnson's administration prepared internal histories to key policy issues, in hopes of better informing the initial efforts of its successor. The illustrations and examples in the chapter are not confined to the geographical boundaries of any particular nation but rather have a global dimension.

Policy Discussion

The purpose of this paper is to recover Adam Smith's conception of the appropriate rules of argumentation for the political economist in public policy discussion. Our interest will be in Smith's attempt to model the advisory style which he thought appropriate for an economist writing on public policy issues, advising the legislature and debating constitutional problems. Inferences will be drawn from the scope and tone of Smith's work on some selected issues of economic policy reform discussed in The Wealth of Nations (hereafter WN). Extensive reference will be made to Smith's admission of the vital role of rhetoric in human affairs in his Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres, and to Smith's view of the legislator's perspective on policy as enunciated in the Theory of Moral Sentiments.

Nowadays, Facebook becomes extremely popular in Vietnam, especially with young people. Using the case study “Trees in Hanoi”, the author aims to analyze characteristics and trend in the participation of citizens in public policy issues. The results showed that Facebook has fundamentally changed interactions between citizens and the State. As an irreversible trend, citizens increasingly take part in discussing public policies and require transparency and efficiency of governmental operations. Finally, the author offers some suggestions to expand public policy discussion and support the transition into an open society in Vietnam so as to avoid unnecessary pressure and social collapse.
