摘要:International Organizations formulate and disseminate principles of good governance for issues such as urban water governance. These principles are formulated in universal and general terms, for example, more transparency or participation, and are intended to enhance governance effectiveness. Yet, the relationship between such principles and governance effectiveness is not linear. Different combinations of principles affect governance effectiveness differently, depending on the context. It rai...

摘要:In responding to crises, governments often need to enact restrictions on the freedoms of citizens that might be perceived as intrusive and unfair. Yet, government interventions need to retain legitimacy in the eyes of citizens. We study the perceived legitimacy of pandemic crisis interventions with a focus on the effects of multi-level governance and region-specific interventions. Such territorially-differentiated measures are often appropriate for effective crisis responses, but they raise co...

摘要:This article examines the political foundations of industrial policy amid the return of state economic interventionism. Comparing the United States' Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the European Union's Green Deal Industrial Plan (GDIP), it shows that contrasting industrial policy strategies were ultimately shaped by differences in the two polities' legislative rules. In both cases, geopolitical pressures sparked renewed interest in green industrial policymaking. However, procedural mechanism...

摘要:Governments worldwide have introduced transparency and accountability regulations so that citizens can hold officials accountable for their actions and fulfill their role as watchdogs of the state. In the long term, this should legitimize government by mitigating information asymmetries between citizens and the government. Therefore, if adequate mechanisms that empower citizens to increase government transparency and the accountability of public officials are properly stipulated in the law, do...

摘要:Gaining and maintaining access to government-run social welfare programs often requires significant and sustained effort by potential beneficiaries. Why do some eligible individuals persist in their pursuit of welfare benefits while others do not? In this paper, we provide a psychological theory of state-centric persistence. We argue that three attitudes-entitlement, indignation, and self-efficacy-decrease the psychological costs of interacting with the state and affect citizens' behavior vis-...

摘要:In recent years, an increasing body of research has examined the influence of populism on public bureaucracies and their responses to this phenomenon. This study seeks to add to this literature by examining how high-level Israeli bureaucrats navigate populist pressures. Based on 32 in-depth interviews with current and former senior officials, our findings reveal that bureaucrats are very aware of populist leaders' attempts to exploit bureaucratic institutions to consolidate power, thereby weak...

摘要:The widely accepted view that algorithmic accessibility and accountability enhance the perceived trustworthiness of automated decision-making has not yet been fully validated. This study fills this research gap by conducting two survey experiments using real-world scenarios. We examine participants' trust preferences when exposed to varying levels of algorithmic accessibility and accountability, under different degrees of decision risks. Our findings highlight that algorithmic accountability e...

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...
