摘要：Governance as a word does not travel well between languages. Governance, especially when good is added, becomes a concept that is culturally defined. Governance in practice has fundamentally changed in the last decades. It is also clear that governance in theory and public administration (PA) research are struggling to encompass this evolving practice. Ideally, governance research is rigorous and relevant. In reality, it is sometimes not so rigorous, and also not so relevant. Our challenge for...

摘要：The study of comparative public policy has changed dramatically in the 30 years since Governance has been in operation, and the journal has played an important role in fostering these shifts. While the next generation will hopefully see continued progress, in this short reflection I want to draw attention to some of the important steps that we have made toward the creation of a truly integrated literature on comparative public policy, in particular as it relates to studies of the policy proces...

We make an important theoretical distinction between perceptions of and tolerance for corruption, and argue that these different attitudes vary across individuals depending on whether they are political insiders or outsiders. We test our theory using Afrobarometer survey data from 18 sub-Saharan African countries and find t...

摘要：Responding to recent articles in Governance highlighting the need for improved measurement of bureaucratic characteristics, this article describes efforts to map Brazil's federal agencies on three dimensions-capacity, autonomy, and partisan dominance-derived from data on more than 326,000 civil servants. The article provides a proof of concept about the utility of agency-level measures of these variables, demonstrating how they relate to an output common to all agencies: corruption. The articl...

摘要：Public service bargains (PSBs) define rewards, competencies, and loyalties for civil servants. They involve both explicit and tacit agreements with politicians. The article suggests that these two kinds of bargain may not be closely coordinated with one another, and can become loosely coupled, operating and evolving with relative independence. This is particularly likely when there is conflict between rational-actor preferences and institutional expectations about political-administrative beha...
