摘要：Public administrations must change toward sustainability to play a meaningful role in sustainable policy-making. However, little is known about how and why sustainability-oriented change unfolds in public administrations. This article aims to advance conceptual and empirical knowledge by examining sustainability mainstreaming through sustainability offices (SO) as a specific type of sustainability-oriented administrative change. Based on a framework that distinguishes modes and mechanisms of m...

摘要：Venue-making describes the process of turning political issues into political institutions. Both public policy and institutionalist scholars have addressed the puzzle of when and how new political institutions arise. We draw on both perspectives, arguing that the interaction between interest groups and government ultimately determines whether an issue remains within the existing institutional setting or if a new venue is made. A repeated stag hunt game illuminates the challenges of this intera...

摘要：Gender quota policies have the ability to alleviate the scarcity of women in politics. However, opponents of quotas argue that such policies may constitute, in the long term, a glass ceiling. In Portugal, although there is still a long way to go in terms of gender equality, some municipalities have been successful in electing many women. Therefore, the aim of this article is to investigate, through the lenses of historical institutionalism and contagion theory, the factors that help women brea...

摘要：Governments increasingly restrict civil society organizations (CSOs). Different theories converge on the expectation that CSOs are important for public goods. A largely unexplored implication is that increased restrictions on CSOs will signal the under-delivery of public goods. Using data on government-imposed restrictions on CSOs for a global sample of countries, we test this implication. Controlling for unobserved cross-country heterogeneity, temporal shocks, and confounding variables, we fi...

摘要：In European governance, transnational administrative networks have become crucial for addressing complex cross-border challenges, supplementing formal harmonization efforts with informal collaborative mechanisms. However, little attention has been given to their role in addressing super-wicked policy problems, where formal structures and political prioritization are lacking despite pressing temporal deadlines and substantial costs for future generations. This study investigates the drivers of ...

摘要：Scholars have extensively explored policy feedback effects on mass publics. However, research exploring how one policy's implementation affects public preferences for another remains limited. This study proposes a novel cross-domain policy feedback framework, emphasizing functional and normative interdependence as two mechanisms yielding cross-domain resource and interpretive effects. We use multiple sets of nationally representative survey data and archival records from China, a context deepl...

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：Understanding interest groups' participation in global policy processes is critical not least because of an increasing shift in policy-making powers to global institutions. This paper contributes to existing research by examining advocacy efforts at the global level and proposing a novel argument linking the degree of policy complexity and the amount of groups' resources to lobbying strategies. Specifically, it argues that interest groups invest in both inside (sitting in) and outside (speakin...

摘要：While research on subnational lobbying has advanced considerably in recent years, much less is known about the role of lower levels in the context of multilevel lobbying. In a multilevel system, interest groups can pursue different routes for influence-seeking. These include a domestic subnational route to seek amendments on a bill by lobbying regional governments, and a subnational-Brussels route, based on regions' influence on EU policymaking. Investigating the case of Germany, we analyze ob...
