摘要：We examine how legislative hearings, mandatory in the appointment process for top executives, shape presidential management of cabinet. Research on legislative confirmation suggests that such a requirement generates a trade-off in choosing between loyalty and competence types. Building on this insight, we argue that the appointees' career paths after entering presidential cabinets differ significantly after legislative hearings are adopted, according to which type they are. Using a quasi-exper...

摘要：Corruption in healthcare is widespread and consequential. Informal payments (IPs) are a common form of petty corruption, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Using data from the Life in Transition Survey encompassing 33 countries across Europe and Central Asia, I analyze the prevalence and reasons behind IPs made to public health providers. In addition to individual- and system-level factors often used in literature, I also introduce a latent measure of social norms related to high ...

Skepticism about foreign aid spending is common among citizens. This article argues that bilateral aid agencies can increase support for foreign aid by enhancing transparency. The article presents findings from three survey experiments involving a representative sample of 2058 British citizens, as well as observational data at the cross-national level...

摘要：Policy engagement procedures now demand more from interest groups and require them to adopt more collaborative-minded behaviors when interacting with policymakers. While existing scholarship largely conceptualizes policy engagement as policy access, commonly measured by frequency or type of engagement, studies examining the precise nature and dynamics of policy access remain rare. We examine how interest groups experience their engagement with policymakers, and whether this impacts their overa...

摘要：Thailand's Rural Doctor Movement (RDM) is a civic movement organized by rural doctors who are officials in the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH). RDM's political consciousness and ideologies for social justice were cultivated by their exposures to student activism and repression in October 1973 and 1976 and fostered by the exposure to poverty and ill-health in rural communities while doing compulsory medical service in rural hospitals in the 1970s-1980s, following graduation from medical school...

摘要：The interactions between bureaucratic agencies and political actors shape governance outcomes, yet scholars disagree about how bureaucratic autonomy relates to government quality. Some claim that enhancing autonomy improves quality, whereas others maintain the opposite. An influential article by Fukuyama (2013) in Governance suggests a curvilinear relationship, moderated by capacity. This article evaluates the theory empirically, focusing on within-country variation and two dimensions of auton...

摘要：Scholars have documented a steep decline in Americans' trust in the bureaucracy. This trend is problematic because it threatens the legitimacy of democratic policymaking by public sector agencies. We hypothesize that the participation of the bureaucracy's elected political principals in agency policy decision-making increases public confidence in the regulatory process. To test this argument, we implement a vignette-based survey experiment with roughly 1350 people in a politically divided U.S....

摘要：This article applies an organizational, longitudinal and comparative perspective to study the varieties of managerial activities that have been historically developed inside the state since the early 1980s. Its aim is to assess the extent to which these activities have been influenced by New Public Management reforms while also evidencing the fact that many other types of management have been developed overtime. Based on an analytical typology categorizing the diversity of managerial tasks and...
