16 Pol'y Persp. 1 (2009)

handle is hein.journals/plyps16 and id is 1 raw text is: Editors' Note Change is in the air. It has been a major element of the political scene this year, as the change of the presidential administration has brought with it new strategies and themes. The mortgage and banking industries, as well as U.S. auto companies, face major systemic change in the coming months. Change has hit Policy Perspectives as well, as we seek to keep the journal part of the ongoing conversation in public policy and public administra- tion. The biggest change this year has been our new website, policy-perspec- tives.org, which has dramatically improved our editorial process. More im- portantly, using online journal software and the helpful advice of librarians at the Gelman Library, we have been able to digitize all of the journal's past content and post it online in searchable form. We thank Caroline Crouse for steering this massive undertaking, and hope that our readers will enjoy the unprecedented access to our archives. Much of what Policy Perspectives has published in the past, as well as the literature in public policy and public administration, focuses on change-how a policy change might produce more effective outcomes, or how to lead change in an organization. The four articles and five book reviews in this year's journal all have something important to contribute, whether in advocating for change or discussing the merits of a potential new policy. Teresa M. Derrick-Mills shows the mismatched incentives at the eli- gibility threshold in three federal work programs and explores the unin- tended consequences of current federal and state programs, and proposes an alternative child care benefit system to better align the needs of employ- ers and employees. Amanda Cherrin takes a new approach in exploring policy options to give men a role in caregiving, by using feminist economics to show that both domestic violence issues and the care gap can be addressed with re- lated policies. She argues that increased male care work will help address the problem of unbalanced gender relations. EDITORS NOTE I I
