摘要：This article advances a reputation-based account to explain the relative salience that different issues assume in central banks' communication. Based on an innovative dataset consisting of a corpus of speeches by the members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States (also known as the Fed) delivered from 2006 to 2016, the analysis shows that the most salient issues in the Fed's communication are shaped by reputational concerns about policy reversals. Specific...

摘要：Often portrayed as behaviour that is inconsistent with policy goals, public noncompliance poses a significant challenge for government. To explore what compliance efforts entail on the ground, this study focuses on childhood immunization as a paradigmatic case where a failure to ensure compliance poses a public health risk. The analysis draws on 48 semi-structured interviews with frontline nurses and regional/national public health officials in England (N =15), Sweden (N =17) and Israel (N =16...

摘要：There has been significant scholarly interest in organizational hybridity, the combination of multiple institutional logics in one entity. However, the extant research has mainly studied the implications for organizations and individuals, neglecting the challenges for organizational members as a collective. To mitigate, this article examines how members of a British institutionalized public-private partnership grapple with the question of what their organization may be, highlighting the confus...

摘要：In this article, we suggest that the governance of problems shapes the institutional dynamics of multilevel governance (MLG) polities. MLG arrangements-processes and institutions that enable policy-making across different jurisdictional levels wherein both public authorities and non-state actors are involved-can or cannot succeed in solving policy problems and at the same time they could create new problems. We argue that the problem-solving capacity and problem-generating potential of multile...

摘要：It has recently been recognized in the public administration literature that multiple reforms coexist in public organizations, ranging from the Weberian bureaucracy to New Public Management and, more recently, new public governance. This study develops a typology of the employment relationship with features of these macro-level changes and tests their impact on the civil servant's affective commitment by including the individual-level social exchange relationship. This multilevel model is test...

摘要：Facing fragmented institutions and partisan polarization, officials in the United States often attempt to engineer policy change without assembling new legislative majorities. To this end, they have increasingly employed demonstration projects, policy innovations undertaken by administrative agencies designed to test alternative approaches to implementation or service delivery on a limited segment of the target population and for a limited period of time. Despite the increasing importance of d...

摘要：After the international financial crisis, new financial regulation was adopted at the international, regional and national levels, raising the issue of how to promote regulatory coherence, defined as the consistency between the rules adopted at different governance levels and in a variety of policy venues. A major recent area of reform concerned the loss absorbing capacity (LAC) of banks. In practice, the lack of regulatory coherence concerning LAC hampers the effective resolution of large int...

摘要：Due to its popularity, the term layering is often used generically, and it risks being transformed into a catch-all concept. Layering has become synonymous with incremental change, thus making it a synonym for change without any specification in terms of the change and its effects. To make the term more conceptually coherent and empirically useful, this article problematizes the historical neo-institutionalist definition of layering as a mode of change and, above all, its use in the literature...

摘要：As public outsourcing has grown, the need to understand government's relations with supply side actors has become more important for public administration scholars. The article analyses the role of a small group of large contractors in the British outsourcing system during Britain's Coalition government. These public service conglomerates' have thus far received little attention in the public administration literature. The article compares two approaches for understanding the role of these cor...
