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：Effective governance requires maintaining a balance between central political control and subnational discretion. However, empirical evidence remains limited and thin on how different central control instruments may affect the level of subnational discretion. In this study, we argue that top-down inspection, as an instrument of central political control, may disrupt subnational discretion in policymaking, that is, subnational discretion repeatedly declines and then rebounds toward its initial ...

摘要：In what ways, if at all, does transparency influence how politicians cooperate with interest organizations? While there are convincing normative arguments stressing the importance of transparency in politics, empirical evidence for how transparency in practice affects how politicians reason regarding cooperating with interest organizations is scarce. In this article, I address this gap by conducting a mixed method survey experiment with 1659 Swedish politicians. The findings indicate that a la...

摘要：Expert involvement in China's policy process has grown significantly since 2012, while the evolving motivations driving experts to act as policy entrepreneurs have received limited attention in the literature. This article examines how the changing political climate steers the rising involvement of experts in China's internal consultative information system. Through qualitative analysis of participatory observation and interviews, we find that the Communist Party of China's (CPC) political ref...

摘要：Global governance systems, including international organizations (IOs), turn to academic experts to achieve a variety of policy-related outcomes. Existing scholarship offers valuable insights into the two main functions of expertise for international organizations-instrumental and symbolic. I draw on network analysis to propose a third function-political instrumentalism-where IOs use experts' degree of connectedness to other actors to exert influence in politicized areas of policymaking and in...

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...
