PurposeThe paper provides historical outlook on different trends in PPPs in global public policy. The purpose of this paper is to reject the essentialist and neoliberal approach to PPPs by critically evaluating both normative and empirical arguments within existing literature.Design/methodology/approachThe paper draws its methodological lineages to nonlinear historical narrative around the concept and construction of the idea and language of “PPPs”. The paper follows discourse analysis (Fairclough, 2003) to locate the way in which PPPs were incorporated within the language of global public policy.FindingsThe paper finds that most of the existing literature looks at managerial, operational, functional and essentialist aspects of PPPs. Therefore, the paper argues that critical success of PPPs depends on its social value for the common good with an emancipatory outlook.Originality/valueThe paper argues to move beyond functional aspects of PPPs and locate emancipatory possibilities within the praxis of global public policy.

AbstractAl-Ubaydli et al. provide a far-reaching, insightful and directly actionable analysis of how social-behavioral research may exert more influence over the development and implementation of public policy. Their paper offers a sophisticated understanding of the ‘scale-up effect’, or factors that influence the extent to which positive experimental effects replicate as an intervention is implemented more broadly. Using economic principles, models and analyses, they offer 12 proposals for improving the process of scaling up effective and policy-relevant interventions. The current paper outlines how their proposals share a number of complementary features with behavioral psychology and applied behavior analysis. This response considers three possible points of intersection: (1) perspectives on the importance and challenges of studying and controlling our own behavior; (2) approaches to determining the social value of intervention outcomes and the procedures for achieving them; and (3) recommendations for deploying meaningful, common measures across phases of research.

Urban non-motorized transportation is the walking and cycling transportation. With the speeding up of China's urbanization, there is a rapidly increasing number of motor vehicles and the illegal parking phenomenon is serious, the space of pedestrians and cyclists is squeezed, the accidents of pedestrian and rider are increasing. Pedestrian and rider are suffered in inconvenience. This paper discusses the advantages of non-motorized transportation which is including environmental value, social value and aesthetic value. This article draws lessons from recent research and provides the human-oriented strategy of Chinese non-motorized transportation which includes the reasonable layout of city transportation network,detailed division and diversified pattern of land use,the safety transportation infrastructure,the high quality environment of the street and the public policy to promote non-motorized transportation.
