• Traditional Leaders and the Culture of Governance in South Africa AI翻译
  作者：Koelble, Thomas A.; LiPuma, Edward

  摘要：The global neoliberal economic and political order impregnated the emergence of democracy in South Africa. One of the hallmarks of this order is that the capacity of the state to transform society is constrained, particularly in the rural hinterlands. The incapacity of the state to extend its grip, both economically and politically, has provided traditional leaders with an opportunity to both recast themselves as intermediaries between state and society and elevate themselves to decision maker...

  摘要：This article explores the supposed shift from New Public Management (NPM) to a new era of post-NPM by looking at one critical case, New Zealand. It finds limited evidence of such a shift, suggesting that the wider literature needs to move to a more careful methodological treatment of empirical patterns. To contribute to such a move, this article applies a three-pronged approach to the study of changing doctrines in executive government. After setting out the broad contours of what NPM and post...
• Procedural Change and the Sources of Ex Ante Constraints in EU Legislation AI翻译

  摘要：With 27 member states using a variety of administrative practices and institutions to implement European Union (EU) policy, the EU has been widely used as a natural laboratory for analyzing administrative politics and institutions. This research has largely focused on the institutional relationships as they are at the time of the analysis. However, the EU has used several legislative procedures. Furthermore, there has been little attention given to the administrative and delegatory consequence...
• The Durability of EU Civil Service Policy in Central and Eastern Europe after Accession AI翻译
  作者：Meyer-Sahling, Jan-Hinrik

  摘要：This article examines the post-accession durability of EU civil service policy in Central and Eastern Europe (CEECs). Civil service professionalization was a condition for EU membership but the European Commission has no particular sanctions available if CEECs reverse pre-accession reforms after gaining membership. Comparing eight CEECs that joined the EU in 2004, the article finds that post-accession civil service developments are characterized by great diversity. The three Baltic States cont...
• Why Do Private Governance Organizations Not Converge? A Political-Institutional Analysis of Transnational Labor Standards Regulation AI翻译
  作者：Fransen, Luc
  作者单位：University of Amsterdam; University of Amsterdam
  摘要：Voluntary governance arrangements focusing on responsible business behavior have proliferated over the past decades, and in many sectors of industry, different governance organizations now compete for business participation. This private governance competition has negative consequences for the effective functioning of these arrangements. In the literature up until now, optimism prevails on how a process of policy convergence between organizations may come about that would solve some of the pro...
• Explaining Policy Bandwagons: Organized Interest Mobilization and Cascades of Attention AI翻译
  作者：Halpin, Darren
  作者单位：Aarhus University
  摘要：Are all issues subject to the same attention from organized interests? If not, why not? This article utilizes data on organized interest mobilization in Scottish public policy to examine the pattern of engagement by policy participants across a large number of policy issues. It finds a heavily skewed pattern of mobilization: Most issues attract little attention, while a few issues account for the majority of attention (they are bandwagons). This resembles the findings of Baumgartner and Leech,...
