Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Presidents with no possibility of re-election overvalue far-future rewards and succumb to terminal logic behavior (TLB), responding to end-of-tenure legacy concerns despite political context. Government authorities perceiving the outgoing government is losing power at the end of term behave under the logic of strategic defection (SD), dissociating from the outgoing government once it is perceived powerless. In countries where re-election is impossible and government turnover and inconstant political parties are concerns, governmental officials at all levels may show TLB and SD during transitions that affect policy sustainability.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to understand the context during presidential transitions that makes TLB and SD relevant, whether TLB and SD affect sustainability of food and nutrition security policy (FNSP), and the tactics for navigating transitions that favor sustainability.
METHODS: A case-study design was used with semi-structured qualitative interviews and document review of news articles in Guatemala. Purposeful criteria and snowball sampling were used to recruit 52 policy actors implementing an FNSP across 2 transitions; 252 news articles from the referenced period covering topics on policy programmatic areas were purposefully sampled. Interviews were analyzed using coding and thematic analyses. News articles were analyzed using a priori thematic coding for verifying themes in interviews and data triangulation.
RESULTS: Governmental officials were replaced by others during transitions; political parties were perceived as inconstant. TLB and SD occurred at all levels and had consequences for sustainability of FNSP: implementation slow-down, dysfunctional collaboration, inefficient use of resources, benefits not reaching targeted groups, and loss of momentum. These occurred through individual, institutional, and political mechanisms. Civil society, international organizations, and government adopted tactics for maximizing sustainability.
CONCLUSIONS: Understanding governmental officials\' experiences and the extent to which TLB and SD occur and affect sustainability could be advantageous to develop compensatory actions for reaching long-term FNSP goals.

摘要：
背景：没有连任可能性的总统高估了遥远的未来奖励并屈服于终端逻辑行为（TLB），尽管有政治背景，但仍对任期结束后的遗产问题做出回应。政府当局认为即将离任的政府在任期结束时失去权力，在战略叛逃(SD)的逻辑下表现出来，一旦被认为无能为力，就与即将离任的政府分离。在无法连任，政府更替和政党不稳定的国家，各级政府官员在过渡期间可能会显示影响政策可持续性的TLB和SD。
目的：这项研究旨在了解总统过渡期间使TLB和SD相关的背景，TLB和SD是否影响食品和营养安全政策(FNSP)的可持续性，以及有利于可持续性的过渡策略。
方法：使用案例研究设计，对危地马拉的新闻文章进行半结构化定性访谈和文档审查。使用有目的的标准和滚雪球抽样来招募52名在两次过渡中实施FNSP的政策行为者；有目的地抽样了所提到的时期的252篇新闻文章，涉及政策方案领域的主题。使用编码和主题分析对访谈进行了分析。使用先验主题编码对新闻文章进行分析，以验证访谈和数据三角测量中的主题。
结果：政府官员在过渡期间被其他人取代；政党被认为是不稳定的。TLB和SD发生在各级，对FNSP的可持续性产生了影响：实施速度减慢，功能失调的合作，资源使用效率低下，没有达到目标群体的利益，失去动力。这些是通过个人发生的，机构,和政治机制。民间社会,国际组织,政府采取了最大化可持续性的策略。
结论：了解政府官员的经验以及TLB和SD发生和影响可持续性的程度可能有利于制定补偿行动，以实现FNSP的长期目标。
