Editing this issue of Practicing about anthropologists working in Brazil has been an enlightening experience for us. We learned the particular ways in which Brazilian anthropologists from all subdisciplines deal with ethical and practical dilemmas in the practice of anthropology, as reflected in the questions below. We note that there is no consensus among Brazilian anthropologists about whether applied anthropology, as defined here in the U.S., even exists there. Some anthropologists noted the distinction in Brazil between a Sol Tax-inspired ‘action’ anthropology and ‘applied’ anthropology. In the former the commitment to engaged and activist anthropology seems to go beyond the bounds of what is generally seen in ‘mainstream’ applied anthropology in the US. Other Brazilian anthropologists stress their strong interest in public policy, and describe their engagement with policy issues in terms of ‘militant citizenship.’ Though we don't formally make an action-applied distinction in this country, the degree of engagement of individual anthropologists in Brazil travels along a continuum from application to advocacy to activism.

Due to the pandemic and the acute social crisis in the US such nuclear policy issues as the New START extension, the Iranian nuclear program limitation, the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula were not in the focus of attention of Congress in 2020. Although Democrats, unlike Republicans, regularly took the legislative initiative in the arms control area. The 2020 presidential election outcome has led to the change of the US nuclear policy course. That means increased bipartisan confrontation on the arms control issues.

The arbitrability of anti-competition disputes in the Philippines remains to be tested. It is since the Philippine Competition Act is relatively at its infancy, and cases are yet to be brought before the courts. This area entails much complexity considering that competition disputes are by nature imbued with public policy concerns, a mandatory exception for arbitration. This paper aims to examine the arbitrability of competition disputes under the Philippine domestic arbitration regime. After conducting an examination of cases and literature both in the Philippines and abroad, the paper argues that the Philippines may consider the US and French positions as to the arbitrability of competition disputes despite the presence of various public policy concerns. The public policy issues should only be taken into consideration when an arbitral award is brought before judicial bodies for recognition and enforcement and should not bar domestic arbitral bodies from taking cognizance of these disputes. It is to accommodate the state policy regarding alternative means of settling disputes such as arbitration in rendering speedy administration of justice. Whenever an award is granted, the same will be subject to court's intervention for recognition with due respect to the public policy concerns. In so doing, arbitration is being promoted without sacrificing the competition law policy of the Philippines.

This chapter reviews the methods and techniques of policy research and analysis commonly used in national and international policy studies, analyses and education. The chapter first discusses the positivist and post-positivist (interpretivist) approaches to policy analysis and research after a short introduction. The chapter goes on to investigate what types of policy research and analysis methods and techniques are commonly used in public policy studies and research courses, with particular focus on the United States (U.S.). The chapter will then provide a review of the research and analysis techniques and methods applied in public policy studies in Turkey. For this purpose, a sample of articles, books and course content in the fields of public policy and public policy analysis are identified and analyzed. Then, the findings of the survey on research techniques and methods, and the content analysis of the articles, courses and textbooks are presented. The chapter concludes by presenting a summary of the findings and comparing and contrasting the types of methods and techniques used in public policy studies and courses in the U.S. and Turkey.

How to provide for full employment and equitable distribution of incomes and wealth are the keenest issues of the U.S. society. The Democratic and the Republican Parties have elaborated opposing views on economic policy, though both parties are certain that the problems may be resolved through the reform of the federal tax and budget systems. Globalization demands to increase incentives for labor and enterprise activity and for savings to secure proper investment rate. Tax rates for labor and enterprise incomes are to be low, but tax rates for consumption, real estate and land should be progressive.

The arrest of Palestinian teenager Ahed Tamimi for slapping an Israeli soldier also prompted a viral campaign under the hashtag #FreeAhed. A smaller campaign protested the exclusion of Palestinian human rights from the agenda of the annual Creating Change conference organized by the US-based National LGBTQ Task Force in Washington. And, UNRWA publicized its emergency funding appeal, following the decision of the United States to slash funding to the organization, with the hashtag #DignityIsPriceless.

Choice Matters: How Healthcare Consumers Make Decisions (and Why Clinicians and Managers Should Care) is a timely and thoughtful exploration of the controversial role of consumers in the U.S. healthcare system. In most markets today, consumers have more options and autonomy than ever before. Empowered consumers easily shop around for products and services that better meet their needs, and they widely share their reviews on social media to inform and influence other consumers. Businesses have responded with better experiences and prices to compete for consumers’ business. Though healthcare has lagged behind other industries in this respect, there is a rising tide of interest in consumer choice and empowerment in healthcare markets. However, most healthcare provider organizations, individual doctors, and health insurers are unprepared to consider patients as consumers. The authors draw upon the fields of medicine, marketing, management, psychology, and public policy as they take a substantive, in-depth look at consumer choice and point out its appropriate use, as well as its limitations. This book addresses perplexing issues, such as how healthcare differs from other consumer-driven markets, how consumers make healthcare decisions, and how increased consumer choice in healthcare can not only aid and empower American consumers but also improve the overall healthcare system.
