GPPG is going to host a new type of article called Global frontiers. With approximately 4,000 to 6,000 words, articles in Global frontiers may discuss any aspects of public policy and governance in a particular country/region or from a comparative perspective. They may be empirical and analytically descriptive, and should contribute to a better understanding of frontier public policy and governance practices in their own right and in broader contexts. Reports on practices that set benchmarks and best examples in the field are especially welcome.

This special issue explores the multifaceted impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on society. It encompasses technical, ethical, legal, economic, social, and policy perspectives on recent advances in AI. Both theoretical and empirical studies are strongly encouraged, including case analyses of real-world AI deployments and socioeconomic impacts in emerging economies.

Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) play a vital role in financing infrastructure and advancing sustainable development in the Global South. While there has been considerable scholarly research on the AIIB and NDB, smaller regional institutions in Asia, Africa, and Latin America and how they interact with larger Southern-led development banks have received less attention. Its contribution to greater and more qualified participation of developing countries in the global economy and the global economic governance, however, is less certain. This issue aims to address this gap by bringing together innovative and interdisciplinary research that sheds light on the added value that these banks bring to the global financial architecture.

Formally constituted organisations are core contributors to public governance involving the state, market, and civil society. Their functions and operation are significant in what they do, how they do it, and what they achieve, as supported by the legal instrument by which they are established, accompanied by the source, kind and exercise of their legal powers. Individually and together, they certainly matter in why, when, where, how, and for whom public action is framed, taken, and assessed in the public interest. This special issue with each paper considering semi-autonomous organisations in a selected governmental system will provide a comprehensive basis for detailed comparative insights and understanding.

The past decade has seen profound transformations in the nature of public service delivery. The digital and smart revolutions have changed the structure, processes and content of public service delivery. These are being challenged further now by the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on public services. The societal and economic convulsions produced by the COVID-19 pandemic have also increased the impact of these transformations. This special issue is dedicated to exploring these transformations and their impact for theory and practice.

As populism evolves in different issue and national contexts, this special issue welcomes conceptual explorations of the varieties of populism, their internal connections, and their connections to other social movements and concepts. Contributors are expected to analyse the causes of the populist movements; their constituencies; institutional opportunities for such movements to emerge; the nature of the demand for and the supply of populist opportunities to achieve power; and the extent to which they differ cross-nationally or are similar.
