• Putting power into practice: Administrative and political capacity building in the European Parliament's Committee for International Trade AI翻译

  摘要：As the formal powers of the European Parliament have increased with successive treaty changes, its committees' administrations have seen a parallel growth. We argue that such administrative capacity is necessary but not sufficient for acting on formal treaty powers. Administrative capacity has to be combined with political capacity in order to muster policy impact in European Union decision-making. By differentiating between intra-institutional administrative and inter-institutional political ...

  摘要：This article extends the study of regulatory enforcement on three levels. First, it separates enforcement style elements during inspections and sanction decision-making work, creating a more realistic measurement. Second, it focuses on how these elements function in a context where it is hard in practice to achieve deterrence. Third, it assesses how agents view the effectiveness of combinations of style elements in such a context. To do so, it uses survey and interview data with street-level e...
• Flexible framing: Analysing innovative austerity talk from a cultural perspective AI翻译
  作者：Overmans, Tom

  摘要：This article examines how local policy elites conceptualize and communicate potential innovations to overcome the fiscal crisis. Four austerity frames based on cultural theory are developed: an individualist, hierarchist, egalitarian and fatalist frame. Two expectations are tested by tracing frame usage in austerity speeches by the leadership in Birmingham, Cologne and Rotterdam. First, the modest contribution of the individualist frame in NPM-sceptic Cologne is confirmed, but no evidence is f...
• A street-level perspective on government transparency and regulatory performance: Does relational distance matter? AI翻译

  摘要：This study investigates the extent to which inspectors perceive government transparency as impacting regulatory performance. It theorizes that when inspectors perceive an increase in transparency, they find that the perceived relational distance between themselves and their inspectees rises and this, subsequently, increases regulatory performance. The findings from a survey among Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority inspectors (n = 466) confirm that inspectors view an increas...
• Citizen participation and the redistribution of public goods AI翻译
  作者：Hong, Sounman; Cho, B. Shine

  摘要：This study investigates whether citizen participation in public budgeting resulted in increased redistributive outcomes when compared with bureaucratic decision-making. We focused on a specific budget item (i.e., the installation of surveillance cameras for crime prevention) and examined whether participatory budgeting yielded larger budget allocations to low-income neighbourhoods. Results indicate that such participatory budgeting results in larger budget allocations for low-income neighbourh...
