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：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：A public encounter is a direct, focused interaction between unelected public officials and private individuals with the goal of enacting a distribution of benefits or obligations. Administrative responsibility concerns an official's normative obligations for acting within a legally defined role. Does the public perceive notionally responsible action in a public encounter as actually responsible? Our mixed-method approach to this question begins by theoretically connecting two practical problem...

摘要：Powerful business interests threaten to capture policy design. From a quiet politics perspective, businesses are especially influential in policy design under conditions of low political salience. From a bureaucratic politics perspective, bureaucratic power based on specialist expertise is also strongest in low-salience contexts and enables them to withstand business influence. Under what conditions does bureaucratic power or business power prevail in policy design under low political salience...

摘要：Many European countries are concerned about the asymmetric distribution of refugees within their territory. In response, they have developed policies to spatially disperse asylum seekers. Yet, we lack a comprehensive understanding of such refugee dispersal policies (RDPs). This article fills that gap with two contributions. First, we conceptualize RDPs as systems of subnational responsibility-sharing in asylum governance, defined along five policy attributes and three ideal types. Second, we i...

摘要：This study explores the role of representative bureaucracy in buffering the impact of adverse policy environments on immigrants' access to public benefits. Specifically, we examine whether and to what extent a more representative government workforce influences immigrant families' participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and moderates the impact of unfavorable immigrant policy climates. Analyzing data on 49 states from 2006 to 2016, we find that a government workfo...

摘要：Addressing wicked problems like climate change requires collaborative efforts from public, private, and third-sector organizations (TSOs), making a co-productive approach especially promising. However, traditional co-production research often overlooks the contributions of TSOs and the voices of marginalized populations. This study addresses these gaps by exploring the role of TSOs as intermediaries in co-producing climate actions by empowering vulnerable communities. Through a case study of a...

摘要：Although previous research has highlighted digitalization as a potential avenue for enhancing domestic revenue mobilization-a critical component for the sustainable economic and political development of nations-the relationship between digitalization and domestic revenue mobilization remains underexplored. This paper contributes to the current literature by investigating how the relationship between digitalization and the government's capacity to tax is influenced by governmental responsivenes...

摘要：As European Union (EU) policymaking becomes increasingly politicized, national and local authorities face pressure to justify compliance with contested EU rules. This study examines how different explanations for compliance affect citizens' perceptions of legitimacy. We distinguish between blame-shifting and defending strategies communicated by national and municipal authorities. Our expectations and findings challenge the popular view that blaming the EU is the most credible approach. In poli...
