摘要：Multilevel governance that spans beyond traditional hierarchical steering within states creates new policy enforcement challenges because it involves autonomous administrations of different jurisdictions in a single administrative act. Scrutinizing concrete new coordination tools, the article aims at conceptualizing coordination strategies and instruments to overcome structural problems in multilevel policy execution and trans-boundary administration. The empirical findings on instrument innov...

摘要：Trust in judges is needed for voluntary acceptance of judicial decisions, and judicial transparency is thought to strengthen trust. It exposes the public to symbols that embrace a myth of legality' which is expected to have a positive effect on trust. We assess a specific understanding of transparency and trust by looking at the moderating effect of knowledge and predisposition to trust. We report on a field experiment which investigates the effect of a Dutch television series on trust. Findin...

摘要：Citizen participation in deliberation activities within public health systems is increasingly seen as essential in achieving more patient-centred, equitable and democratic care. However, recent studies show that patients' lived, affective experience of illness and care remains poorly understood within deliberative fora. In response, this article argues that emotion is central in mediating deliberation, and in conditioning deliberative outcomes. To understand how this occurs, we use a sociologi...

摘要：New accountability instruments - performance indicators, audits, and financial incentives - are expected to replace traditional accountability instruments in NPM reforms. We test this expectation by looking at the accountability arrangements of semi-autonomous agencies as a typical example of NPM reforms. Our findings are based on survey data on 342 agencies in six countries. We identify four types of accountability arrangements in semi-autonomous agencies, in line with the four trajectories o...

摘要：This study expands our knowledge about public service motivation in the context of politics as a concept defined by self-interested and other-interested motives. Current research shows the importance of other-interested public interest as a person-environment fit variable. We test the assumption that self-interested motives differ in regard to behavioural outcomes of local councillors when compared to other-interested motives. Using a dataset of 8,111 local government councillors in Switzerlan...

摘要：Recent scholarship in public administration has drawn attention to the proliferation of transnational policy-making processes and administrative practices. Although policy transfer and transgovernmental scholars have recognized the influence of these practices on domestic policy outcomes, little is known about how distinctive configurations of cross-jurisdictional policy networks form. This article addresses this issue by exploring three novel transgovernmental policy networks situated in the ...

摘要：Maintaining mostly a national and EU-level focus, the transnational dimension has been overlooked in the policy instrumentation literature. Seeking to fill this gap, this article researches the factors that shape the choice and evolution of policy instruments in transnational administrations, namely above and beyond the state. In an empirical analysis of budget support, it finds that the preference of the European Commission for this development aid instrument is dependent upon transnational a...

摘要：A growing evidence base suggests that increasing the involvement of clinical professionals on governing boards of hospitals has a positive impact on organizational performance. However, less is known about the wider conditions that influence this process and whether recent moves to restructure the governance of public hospitals, extending their formal autonomy, has made any difference to the outcome of clinical involvement on patient experience. Using four years of data and concentrating on th...

摘要：The World Health Organization has fostered a new global public policy - the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (FCTC). Until the 1980s, tobacco control was the sole preserve of states. Now, most countries accept the transnational nature of policy. We explain this shift by identifying mutually reinforcing changes in key policy process elements: transnational actors became a source of policy learning; an international venue institutionalized' new policies; networks began to include tobacco...
