ABSTRACTIndigenous nations and communities in the United States have rights as sovereign governments to exercise control and ownership over all data and information generated by or from the tribes, tribal members, or tribal resources. Indigenous nations exercise these rights through data ownership policies established in response to unethical research practices in research involving Indigenous communities. Most universities in the U.S. have "openness in research" policies to ensure academic freedom to publish freely, exercised by retaining university control of data. Here, we describe our study of cultural ecosystem services in the St. Louis River estuary region (Nagaajiwanaang in the language Ojibwemowin) in Duluth, Minnesota, and Superior, Wisconsin, U.S., an area that includes portions of the 1854 and 1842 Ceded Territories and reservation lands of a local band of Ojibwe (hereafter referred to as "the Band"). In this university‐led, Band‐supported study, both the university and the Band sought ownership of data collected based on their respective policies, resulting in a research delay of nearly a year. We found that open research policies that do not consider Indigenous sovereignty can hamper collaboration between university researchers and tribal nations, even when there is broad agreement on research goals and objectives. University open research policies that do not explicitly address Indigenous sovereignty fall short of the open research principles they intend to support and should be revised. Formal adoption of principles for ethical research with sovereign tribal governments by universities is needed to improve coordination and trust among university and tribal researchers and members.

This article explores the role of social determinants of health in the collaborative efforts across various sectors of state social policy, emphasizing their significance in promoting societal health and well-being. Public health policy is underscored as a critical social imperative, with a particular focus on analyzing key international treaties recognizing the right to health as a distinct human rights category. The authors argue that the social determinants approach, which considers health in a broader societal context, is crucial. This approach recognizes the impact of actions extending beyond the health sector on overall well-being.

Since 2003, droughts have been problematized within a climate change frame in Germany. Scholars describe this framing process as climatization. In our research, we conduct a qualitative content analysis of sector journal articles to investigate the climatization of drought within the three most affected policy fields in Germany: agriculture, water management, and forestry. The research objectives are to investigate how climatization processes evolve and take place within a specific policy field, and what different modes of climatization can be identified. The results are based on a framing analysis of 267 articles from journals published by political associations of farmers, water managers, and foresters at both the national and a state level, covering drought problematization relating to two major drought events in 2003 and 2011–2012. The article shows that four modes of climatization can be distinguished: scientification, securitization, technocratization, and transformation. With this empirically based heuristic, we contribute to advancing the concept of climatization by operationalizing it into a more profound, empirically grounded analytical concept that can be applied to critically investigate policymaking processes related to reducing disaster risks and achieving climate adaptation.

THIS PAPER DEVELOPS A METHODOLOGY FOR EVALUATING THE SHORT-RUN WELFARE IMPLICATIONS OF DIFFERENT EXCHANGE RATE REGIMES. HETEROGENEOUS, OPTIMIZING DOMESTIC CONSUMERS LIVE FOR TWO PERIODS, CONSUME GOODS AND LEISURE, SUPPLY LABOR SAVE HOME AND FOREIGN BONDS, AND DEMAND CURRENCY. FIRMS MAXIMIZE PROFITS. THE HOME GOVERNMENT LEVIES TAXES, ISSUES MONEY AND BONDS, AND SUPPLIES PUBLIC GOODS. THE FOREIGN COUNTRY DEMANDS IMPORTS, SUPPLIES EXPORTS, AND LENDS TO THE HOME COUNTRY. THE THEORETICAL MODEL IS ESTIMATED FOR AUSTRALIA. COUNTER-FACTUAL SIMULATIONS ARE CARRIED OUT. THE RESULTS SUGGEST THAT FLOATING WAS, OR WOULD HAVE BEEN, THE SUPERIOR REGIME FOR FOR THE 1981-84- PERIOD.

This study aims to reveal the foreign trade entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial tendency in the context of economic nationalism which expresses a protective approach in terms of foreign trade policy which is one of the main components of the policy of economics. The study was designed as a single case study from qualitative research designs. The sample of the study consists of foreign trade entrepreneurs who have been in foreign trade for at least five years and who are in the industry as a producer/manufacturer. In the study, the semi-structured interview technique was used for the data gathering process. A purposeful sampling technique was used in order to determine enterprises and individuals to conduct interviews. The findings of the data analysis showed that the foreign trade policy adopted by the individual is the basis of the commercial activity. The result of the study was examined in two dimensions as "foreign trade entrepreneurship" and "international entrepreneurship". It shows that the companies are predominantly foreign trade entrepreneurs in the context of evaluating the income obtained from abroad, benefiting from incentives, future targets, opportunities and threats of foreign commercial activities. For this reason, the finding obtained reveals that the firms subject to the study are mainly economically nationalist. Considering this, it is suggested to support foreign trade entrepreneurs, who act mainly with an economically nationalist motivation, to find new market opportunities abroad, to increase the government incentives for bringing the foreign currency revenues to the country and to facilitate the access of companies to them.
