Summary: The positive youth justice (PYJ) paradigm focuses on developing young people's strengths and prosocial attributes to promote healthy development and discourage antisocial behavior. This article proposes an innovative approach to intervention that centers around promoting a prosocial identity among young people. By synthesizing theory and evidence from developmental science and criminology, the authors demonstrate that with individual effort and environmental support, a youth's identity can be shifted towards prosocial behavior, leading to a reduction in antisocial behavior. The authors outline three targets for change in the intervention framework: content of the future possible self, prosocial identity prominence, and prosocial identity validation. They suggest that consensus on measures of prosocial identity, assessment of identity changes in response to existing strength-based services, and further establishment of the protective effects of prosocial identity are needed. Interventions directly targeting identity should also be tested for their impact on antisocial behavior. The authors expect that this identity-based approach, combined with relevant policy measures, will enhance existing services. Recognizing the importance and possibility of identity shifts can help pave the way for positive youth development.

Summary: This article offers a critical analysis of Australia's asylum system, highlighting that recent changes to the temporary protection regime do not address the flaws and injustices of the system.

Summary: The pandemic accelerated remote access to courts through e-filing and virtual hearings, but the lack of personal connection in remote proceedings poses challenges in handling complex cases involving parenting and intimate partner violence. Courts must strike a balance between protection and due process. It is important for all courts to evaluate and refine their tools, policies, and procedures to better support court users. Examples from Kansas, North Carolina, and Arizona show efforts to enhance remote justice efficiency and quality in these cases.

Summary: This article analyzes the impartiality in investor-State dispute settlement (ISDS) and questions the applicability of an orthodox judicial doctrine of impartiality to ISDS. It argues that trust in arbitrators in ISDS is based on a fundamentally different assumption from trust in judges, as trust in ISDS is founded on the method of party appointment which values arbitrators' predispositions.

Summary: This article examines John Calvin's theology in relation to his political theory, focusing on the normative basis and implications. It argues that Calvin's understanding of civil government is commonly accepted as political 'theology', but the normative implications of his theological ontology for political actors are debated. The article suggests that Calvin's reticence in systemizing his accounts of conscience and natural law is due to their foundational nature. It highlights the importance of the concepts of conscience and the divine image in shaping a normative system that prioritizes collective values over individual rights.

Summary: This study examines innovation incentives under product hopping and provides some conclusions through modeling. Product hopping can decrease the total R&D investment for drastic innovation, and incumbents engage in product hopping only when drastic innovation is sufficiently difficult. Although product hopping may increase R&D for pioneer drugs, it also reduces R&D for subsequent drastic innovations and leads to socially wasteful marketing expenses.

They suggest that future research should investigate the complex marketization forms within these systems and conduct detailed empirical studies, while calling for more involvement of political science in this issue.

Summary: The recently signed RCEP Agreement is expected to have a significant impact on the dissemination and integration of new regulatory standards for financial services in the Asia-Pacific region. This article finds that the RCEP financial services rules differ significantly from the GATS rules. The influence on the design of RCEP financial services rules comes from multiple textual sources in the Asia-Pacific region, with limited influence from China and ASEAN countries, while existing treaty languages of major developed countries such as South Korea, Japan, Australia, and Singapore have primarily shaped the RCEP financial services rules.
