摘要：This study investigates the political effects of corruption convictions involving former heads of government. Drawing on an original dataset of convictions and annual, nationally representative surveys covering over 130 countries from 2006 to 2019, we employ a difference-in-differences approach to analyze how these events shape government approval. Our findings indicate a notable contrast: in less democratic countries, convictions boost support for the government, whereas their effect is negli...

摘要：Transparency reforms make government contracting more open and amenable to public scrutiny, helping to improve public spending efficiency. But they are also politically sensitive, complex and highly technical, which makes them especially difficult to implement if state capacity is weak. Our research on nine low- and middle-income countries in Africa and Asia systematically assesses progress in improving the legal framework for procurement transparency and implementing systems that allow open a...

摘要：This article investigates the role of citizen political affinities in shaping attitudes towards judicial decisions in corruption cases involving politicians. Although emerging research suggests that decisions regarding a high-ranking politician can reduce general citizen trust in courts, there is no systematic evidence examining how political affinities differentially affect confidence in court decisions depending on the accused politician. We conducted a survey experiment during a 2022 presid...

摘要：Recent research examining the policy feedback effects of delegated governance note that private actors accumulate institutional business power-distinct from structural and instrumental power typical of businesses-through such mechanisms as delegation, deregulation, and accretion. Business power, once granted by the government, accumulates and institutionalizes over time, even when the state's policy goals may change. In this article, we apply these insights but offer a modified theoretical mod...

摘要：This article shows, for the first time, gendered patterns in the organization and composition of collegial executive institutions below the level of the cabinet. Drawing on an original dataset of ministerial cabinet committees since the 1990s, we investigate how ministerial supply, gendered norms, and ideology affect committee priorities, women's presence, and access to power in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Committee priorities remain predominantly masculine, despite...

摘要：We investigate government responsiveness in the notice and comment process, a prominent instrument of consultative authoritarianism through which policy is made in contemporary China. We conduct an extensive data collection effort, assembling draft policies, public comments, and government responses for more than one thousand instances of notice and comment policymaking over a 17-year period. Our statistical analysis demonstrates both the promise and limitations of consultative authoritarianis...

摘要：Regulating organizations to align their private interests with public interests is important, especially for collective action problems in climate and sustainability governance. Whereas these issues are not satisfactorily addressed by conventional regulations, norms are envisioned as a promising alternative. But norm-based policy instruments are not well understood regarding their scalable effects on substantive organizational actions, given the presence of other regulations. We advance a conc...

摘要：The deliberative democracy and governance literature indicates that the challenge of participatory mechanisms (e.g., participatory budgeting, citizen assemblies) is to be inclusive of all citizens, especially marginalized ones from the political system. Immigrants as a marginalized group are a target of inclusion. Asking the circumstances under which these mechanisms promote immigrants' effective inclusion is still a pending question. This article proposes a theoretical model centered on their...
