摘要:Cognitive biases are an integral part of human conduct. However, we know little about how such biases affect street-level bureaucrats' decision-making. Without such an understanding, we might not have a complete picture about how street-level bureaucrats make decisions. This incomplete picture can lead to the faulty implementation of public policy. This study focuses on cognitive biases that can impact decision-makers faced with multiple claims. Using real-world rulings made over 15 years by l...

摘要:This article contributes to public administration research on collaborative governance in partnerships by exploring local efforts to metagovern a multi-layered interorganizational collaboration between a city and a university. Hence, to further explore the prospect for developing city-university partnerships (CUP) into local platforms for the co-creation of innovative public value outcomes, we ask: How can metagovernance contribute to aligning different actors and levels in a CUP aiming to enh...

摘要:This article explores the conditions that underpin networks as enduring collaborative relationships. To identify key features that sustain long-term collaboration, we use the Norwegian system of emergency management as our empirical case. Norway is characterized by the important role played by volunteers and voluntary organizations as partners to the police in search and rescue operations. In particular, the article focuses on two possible explanations for the endurability of these networks: t...

For this purpose, two core types of political experience in civil servants' careers are distinguished: frontstage political experience as elected politician and backstage political experience in non-elected offices close to poli...

摘要:Many government agencies operate with fewer personnel than they need to perform effectively. Yet little research has explored how agencies might allocate their personnel so as to maximize performance with the personnel they have. I address this gap through a study of Brazil's federal protected areas agency, which manages the world's third largest system of conservation areas. Based on 66 interviews and econometric analyses covering 322 administrative units, I find that three moderators influen...

摘要:Politicians need expertise to make public policies, and civil servants are principal and proximate providers of knowledge. Yet, what constitutes relevant knowledge and skills for bureaucrats is regularly contested-both by politicians and bureaucrats-and subject to change. How can we explain the processes of contestation and change in the expertise of policy bureaucracies? The article presents a theoretical framework for analyzing the politics of bureaucratic expertise. It proposes the concept ...
