“…Our findings, which add to the literature on the (ideational) politics of platform capitalism, hint at the potential of sectoral politics outside of the platform economy effecting reforms in the on‐demand food delivery sector. In so doing, our findings highlight the bidirectional relationship between policies and politics (see Béland et al, 2022). We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings for studies of AI politics and policy.…”

In this article, we examine the politics of on‐demand food delivery using insights from the theory of social construction and policy design. On‐demand food delivery is a service built on algorithm‐based technology known for its precarity and physical risks for couriers. We compare how the on‐demand food delivery sector is regulated and its observable effects in two Asia‐Pacific cities with contrasting food courier profiles: Melbourne, Australia (international students), and Singapore (citizens, permanent residents). We show how the social construction of food couriers in other policy subsystems (migration, higher education, citizenship) affects debates of their fair treatment in the on‐demand food delivery sector. By interrogating the politics of digitally enabled versions of reality, we argue for embracing a design perspective to identify how reforms could be introduced in change‐resistant sectors.

“…The last reform of the Mexican health‐care system was initiated in 2020 with the elimination of SP, which was due, in part, to the self‐undermining policy feedback from its design and implementation. This feedback operated as self‐undermining mechanisms relative to sociopolitical factors and to state capacity and administrative arrangements (Béland et al., 2022). These mechanisms interacted with certain political and institutional factors that facilitated the operation of such mechanisms, which can be summarized as follows: the arrival of a new political party with a president that gathered very strong popular support and electoral legitimacy, in the context of high electoral competition, and a highly centralized fiscal system.…”

Long before the COVID‐19 pandemic, health‐care spending became a key policy issue across the OECD. Comparing recent institutional trends in public health‐care financing in three federal countries—Canada, the United States, and Mexico—this article explores the political struggles over fiscal federalism in health care related to both vertical and horizontal imbalances that can generate regional tensions and pit subnational governments against one another and, especially, against the national government. Grounded in a historical institutionalist perspective, the article shows how different institutional legacies shape current conflicts over federal health‐care funding in these three highly dissimilar federal countries. Such an analysis stresses the role of policy feedback in social politics and the enduring “varieties of federalism” in North American public health‐care funding. More specifically, the article shows how the distinct nature of policy feedback effects in the United States, Mexico, and Canada helps explain why the two former countries recently witnessed major changes in intergovernmental relations over fiscal federalism for health care while the latter did not.Related ArticlesBode, Ingo, and Jorge E.

“…Many studies have explored people's perceptions of general issues, such as support for the welfare state or for specific policies and programs (ex‐post) (e.g., Jacobs et al, 2021; Lerman & McCabe, 2017; Mettler & Soss, 2004; Mizrahi et al, 2014; Reeskens & Van Oorschot, 2013; Shanks‐Booth & Mettler, 2019; Soroka & Wlezien, 2019; Van Oorschot, 2006). While policy affects behaviour, such as voting preferences and political participation (Béland et al, 2022), the idea of starting at the individual level and exploring behaviours, needs, and support for policy alternatives to provide ‘signalling knowledge’ to guide policymakers in policy formation is less common 1 . We added to this scholarship by examining the connection between people's time‐use behaviours, the way they want to use their time, and their support for policy alternatives.…”

The study explored how understanding people's behaviours and desires can inform policy design and contribute to policy feedback theory. We focused on uses of time that are affected by diverse policies. Given the growing interest in promoting well‐being and the connection between the use of time and well‐being, we examined behaviours and desires regarding uses of time. In this exploratory study, we employed a quantitative research method. We surveyed 671 Israeli adults on their time use, desires for time use, and support for policy alternatives in three policy fields: work, education, and welfare. In five out of 11 policy alternatives, we found a connection between behavioural variables and support for policy alternatives. While exploratory, our findings contribute innovative insights into the connection between behavioural variables and support for policy alternatives related to time use. Theoretically, the article highlights the importance of incorporating behavioural ‘signalling knowledge’ as an essential input at the policy design stage and contributes to the policy feedback literature on multidisciplinary policies.
