摘要：This study examines how different types of regimes use performance-based legitimation after severe natural disasters. While prior research has evaluated emergency relief, broader fiscal responses remain understudied. Drawing on legitimation theory, we argue that all regimes seek to secure legitimacy, but hybrid regimes are more likely to expand public spending to ensure their political survival. Analyzing data from 166 countries from 1960 to 2018, we find significant post-disaster fiscal expan...

摘要：The literature on corruption, grounded in the principal-agent framework, has long promoted transparency as a tool to reduce misconduct by improving oversight. Yet standard models assume that transparency either deters wrongdoing or, at worst, has no effect-they do not account for the possibility that it could increase corruption. This paper adopts an agent-centered perspective, arguing that in settings with weak accountability, transparency influences outcomes only through its effects on burea...

摘要：The European Union's current pursuit of strategic autonomy and technological sovereignty through industrial policy initiatives occurs amid intensifying US-China competition, prompting new policy instruments and rhetoric that many scholars interpret as fundamental transformation in EU economic governance. However, historical analysis reveals striking parallels with the 1970s-1980s, when Europe confronted US technological dominance and Japanese competition. Drawing on historical institutionalist...

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：Partisanship may play a part in shaping gender equality within public organizations, especially in local governments, which are often subject to direct political control. Using a Regression Discontinuity (RD) Design, we examine the influence of partisanship on gender equality within government by analyzing whether right-wing party control is related to the gender pay gap among all employees in English local governments. We also investigate whether it is related to gender representation among t...

摘要：Current studies on authoritarian resilience have yet to fully explain how autocracies can effectively cope with crises that threaten regime survival. To fill the gap, we introduce the concept of authoritarian elasticity to theorize how an autocracy may dramatically transform, expand, and repurpose its institutions for crisis management, fine-tune its response to crisis development, and scale back mobilization when conditions permit to sustain the crisis management mode for an extended time. We...

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：Digital governance has received fervent attention from both theoretical and practical domains in recent years, and has gradually been touted as a panacea for addressing various issues. Especially on the issue of environmental protection, governments worldwide have sought to enhance their environmental governance efficiency by embedding the concepts, technologies, and methods of digital governance. However, while the potential benefits of digital governance embedding have garnered considerable ...
