摘要:Geographical limitation, ostracism and deportation are defined as state practices that try to handle the unwanted arrival and stay of irregularized migrants in Europe. However, the enforcement of ever-more restrictive policies in order to regain control over a mobile population is limited by several factors, which at times restrict the state. These limits not only derive from the agency of individuals excluded by the state, but also because of the inherent attributes of the state itself. The i...

摘要:In line with psychological and economic discrimination theories, street-level bureaucracy studies show a direct effect of citizen characteristics on officials' judgements, or show how street-level bureaucrats employ stereotypical reasoning in making decisions. Relying on sociological double standards theory, this study hypothesizes that citizen-clients' status characteristics influence officials' evaluations not only directly, but also indirectly and more pervasively by influencing the interpr...

摘要:In many countries, the rules and statutes governing public employment promote both transparency and accountability in employee hiring, promotion, and wage setting. These aspects of public employment might mitigate the pay inequalities women face in the public workplace relative to the private sector. At the same time, these formal aspects of public sector employment and payment systems might also limit the ability of women in the public sector to leverage human capital increases as a means of ...

摘要:Representative bureaucracy theory explores the effects of representation on bureaucracies, but less attention has been paid to date as to how agents represent values or interests. Addressing this omission, this article highlights the unconscious dimension of active representation and, more specifically, the role of unconscious bias in representation. Unconscious bias has received limited attention to date in public administration, but has clear relevance for understanding how representation oc...

摘要:This study examines the attributes of organizational rules that influence rule following. Rule following fosters organizational effectiveness by aligning individual behaviours with organizational preference. While a range of theoretical explanations have been offered for rule following, the characteristics of rule design and implementation have received less empirical attention. Borrowing from the green tape theory of effective rules, this study examines the influence of two particular charact...

摘要:At a time when truth and facts are highly contested, understanding how knowledge gains legitimacy is crucial. Creating valuable policy knowledge involves navigating a space between fields', where actors and ideas from different social worlds come into play. This article outlines a novel set of strategies for attaining legitimacy within this space. Drawing on mixed-methods analysis of interview and publication data from 12 development research organizations, the article argues that legitimacy c...

摘要:Knowledge brokering teams are increasingly deployed in the public sector to promote coordination and integration across previously separated practices. Permeability of external boundaries surrounding such teams is, however, often taken for granted and has so far received relatively little attention. To address this gap, this article presents the findings of an in-depth qualitative longitudinal case study of a knowledge brokering team operating in the fragmented healthcare context. It argues th...

摘要:The ongoing embrace of interest groups as agents capable of addressing democratic deficits in governing institutions is in large part because they are assumed to contribute democratic legitimacy to policy processes. Nonetheless, they face the challenge of legitimating their policy advocacy in democratic terms, clarifying what makes them legitimate partners in governance. In this article we suggest that digital innovations have disrupted the established mechanisms of legitimation. While the imp...
