摘要:The global financial and economic crisis that hit Western countries between 2007 and 2008 has generated an extensive literature. Several policy responses are now recognized, based on the way governments reallocate scarce public resources across budget categories; these approaches have a differential impact on the sustainability of cuts and on performance and trust. What determines the choice of one approach over another is a relevant, yet unexplored, research question. The article highlights t...

摘要:This article aims to explain two contrasting cases of bureaucratic cooperation: the cooperation practices of two similar European agencies - Europol and Frontex - with corresponding national-level structures. To understand why cooperation has proceeded smoothly in one case (border management), while triggering strong turf-protective tendencies in the other (law enforcement), the article develops a theoretical approach to cooperation that is both 'turf' and reputation sensitive. Drawing on a va...
