Efficient allocation of land between competing uses deserves attention, due both to market failure and government intervention failures. In order to devise efficient agro-environmental programs for the management of landscape amenities, it is important to understand individual’s preferences. The purpose of this paper is, on the basis of the identification of the basic requirements of policy decision-making process, to assess the possibilities of integration of demand for landscape amenities protection to the agri-environmental policy.

Social, political and commercial organisations are stakeholders in the environmental policy decision making. Their mobilised power and counter power determine to a large extent the content of the decisions taken. Lately, the environmental movement in Flanders has grown stronger in members, professionals, financially,... but it remains relatively weak in comparison with the traditional, strong and aften pillarised intermediary organisations like unions, farmers and employers organisations. Especially its limited informal access tothe policy makers is incomparable with the exclusive and privileged access of those big organisations. Nevertheless the environmental movement is becoming a policy insider instead of an outsider, but this threatens the movements independence and its movement functions.

Suitable maintenance policy implemented in particular machine able to improve the machine performance as well as the product quality. However, selecting a suitable maintenance policy is a vital and hard work because it has to be decided from analysis of various criteria including failure mechanism and resources limitation. Thus, decision tree is suggested in this paper to provide assistance for maintenance crew in conducting a systematic and efficient decision making process in determining the suitable maintenance policy. In the end of the paper, a case study in semiconductor industry is conducted to illustrate the practicability of developed decision tree.

Abstract Foreign policy analysis (FPA) opens the “black box” of the state and provides explanations of how and why foreign policy decisions are made, which puts individuals and groups (from committees to ministries) at the center of analysis. Yet the sex of the decision-maker and the gendered nature of the decision-making process have generally been left out of the picture. FPA has not addressed questions regarding the influence of women in foreign policy decision-making processes or the effects of gender norms on decision-making; indeed, FPA appears to be almost entirely gender-free. This article argues that “gendering” FPA is long overdue and that incorporating gender into FPA frameworks can provide a richer and more nuanced picture of foreign policy–making.

A simulation of the foreign policy decision-making process, as described in this article, can assist an instructor in linking students' abstract understanding of complex political events, circumstances, and decision making to the real-world interplay of the multiple factors involved in decision making. It is this type of active learning that helps bring a student's abstract understanding into the concrete world. Instead of being passive learners relying on an instructor's knowledge, students are active participants in the learning process.

Democracies are typically considered more legitimate than other types of regimes because they allow the citizens to participate in the policy decision-making process. Others argue that the policy output matters most, and citizen influence plays a lesser role. This study presents two survey experiments on the micro foundations of these two sources of political legitimacy, thus contributing to an emerging literature that experimentally investigates the effects of democratic procedures in small-scale settings. Respondents who saw the decision going in their favour found the decision much more acceptable than the respondents who preferred another outcome. Conversely, decision-making influence generally did not serve as a legitimising factor among the respondents. This result supports the argument that citizens prefer a stealth democracy where they are minimally involved in democratic decision-making processes.

A política externa é uma política pública, tanto em seu desenho, quanto em sua formulação e em sua gestão, sendo executada frente à uma ampla gama de atores estatais, instituições governamentais e não governamentais. Entretanto, diferentemente de uma política pública comum, a política externa corresponde a todas as ações projetadas dentro de um Estado e que desdobram no meio externo; ademais, não está circunscrita ao plano internacional, mas também à variáveis de natureza endógena e com fatores internos, tais como o regime político, os processos decisórios e a liderança. Desta maneira, o artigo objetiva destacar o funcionamento do processo decisório, a tramitação de projetos de lei, e as relações entre Executivo e Legislativo no presidencialismo chileno em matérias de política externa, evidenciando como as instituições políticas influenciam na tomada de decisão de políticas públicas. Para tanto, serão observados documentos formais e informais, considerando aspectos institucionais, constitucionais e regimentais.
