摘要：Different disciplines ask why public sector corruption occurs, addressing diverse phenomena. However, how different approaches and factors at micro, meso, or macro levels relate to each other in causally complex, context-dependent ways is seldom theorized. This article develops an integrated Corruption Hexagon model with six dimensions. The analytically relevant context provides a not directly causal background that influences the interplay of the pressure to act corruptly, the opportunity to ...

摘要：Liberal democracies increasingly restrict civil society organizations (CSOs), a trend frequently linked to illiberal governments. But when do ideologically liberal governments resort to such restrictions? Linking research on state traditions, party ideology and crisis governance, we theorize factors enhancing liberal governments' propensity to adopt normatively contentious CSO restrictions. Distinguishing formal-legal restrictions on CSO voice from those on CSO existence, we show that nearly 9...

摘要：This Special Issue Introduction aims to unpack current dynamics of migration politics and governance research and to put forward a holistic and integrative theoretical approach, that accounts for the bi-directionality and reciprocal influence between the political and the governance in both policymaking and policy practice on migration-related issues. We show how the articles in this Special Issue contribute to bridge two analytical tendencies in migration research - one foregrounding the poli...

摘要：While pursuing a professional delivery of public services, street-level bureaucrats increasingly face intense political-ideological pressure. Yet, preceding scholars have barely explored how they manage to resist it. Addressing this gap, the paper presents a concept of the coping mechanisms street-level bureaucrats employ to shield their discretionary practices from becoming politicized. It is derived from an exploratory interview study with 33 case managers at German local jobcentres. Drawing...

摘要：Effective governance requires maintaining a balance between central political control and subnational discretion. However, empirical evidence remains limited and thin on how different central control instruments may affect the level of subnational discretion. In this study, we argue that top-down inspection, as an instrument of central political control, may disrupt subnational discretion in policymaking, that is, subnational discretion repeatedly declines and then rebounds toward its initial ...

摘要：In what ways, if at all, does transparency influence how politicians cooperate with interest organizations? While there are convincing normative arguments stressing the importance of transparency in politics, empirical evidence for how transparency in practice affects how politicians reason regarding cooperating with interest organizations is scarce. In this article, I address this gap by conducting a mixed method survey experiment with 1659 Swedish politicians. The findings indicate that a la...

摘要：This paper examines how mayoral term-limit rules shape the corrupt behavior of career public servants. Using the exogenous discontinuity created by Portugal's 2013 municipal elections, where some incumbents were constitutionally barred from reelection while otherwise similar peers could run again, I compare corruption-related infractions committed by public servants across all mainland Portuguese municipalities. The analysis suggests a large decrease in administrative corruption among public s...

摘要：This paper examines how companies respond to global economic shocks by seeking political connections. Using company-level data, the study explores how exposure to increased trade competition-specifically, rising Chinese imports-affects U.S. firms' lobbying strategies. The findings reveal that companies facing greater economic pressures are more likely to hire politically connected lobbyists, particularly in industries more exposed to trade. These findings indicate that, during periods of econo...
