摘要：This article examines the challenge Norway and France face in coordinating specialized government activities after 10 years of comprehensive reforms. The focus is on the tension between territorial and sectoral specialization and between vertical and horizontal specialization. We describe both sector-specific administrative reforms and more overarching general reforms, looking at similarities and differences in the reorganization choices made by the two countries and also at what drives change...

Also, the article provides a comparison of China's policies and institutions for GCRE with...

We show that there is no systematic difference in patterns of concertation between the two pol...

摘要：Do reputational concerns affect the duration of enforcement decisions? We analyze time to decision in warning letter processes by two enforcement divisions within the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.

We also found that as media coverage of t...
