Privately convened global initiatives' are proliferating while triggering some conceptual puzzles, blurring the already ill-defined limits of global processes'. To seize the meanings and implications of going global', this article explores the empirical scope of such glo...

摘要：Numerous studies have shown that rewarding or penalizing public officials for their performance in a mechanical fashion may have perverse effects, as evidenced by the strategic responses to imposed targets demonstrated by those exposed to the measurement process. Focusing attention on performance evaluation practices in Chinese local government, this research finds that implementing quantitative measurement in local authorities has triggered multiple strategic responses. Drawing on these insig...

摘要：Scholars have engaged in discussions over whether the rise of transnational private authority is beneficial or undermines public legitimate authority. While the recent focus on civil regulation has emphasized the key role of public authorities and civil societies in such arrangements, the case of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) provides strong evidence that global policies can be formulated and administered by completely private institutions relying on strong enforc...

摘要：International organizations (IOs) such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are assumed to rely on sympathetic interlocutors' at the national level to drive through economic reforms that conform to global policy norms. In this article we answer the following question: How do sympathetic interlocutors for IOs emerge in the first place? We address this question by examining how IOs engage in teaching norms to national officials via transnational policy training in order to incre...

摘要：Originally focused on seeking policy solutions through international cooperation, transnational administration, and global governance, the study of global environmental policy has become increasingly diverse and fragmented. Complex, crosscutting variables ranging from a wider constellation of non-state actors to diverse critical perspectives, along with a focus on narrower sub-fields and the changing nature of environmental challenges themselves, have left the field in a state of flux. A broad...

摘要：Public management studies are increasingly using survey data on managers' perceptions of performance to measure organizational performance. These perceptual measures are tempting to apply because archival performance data or surveys of target group outcomes and satisfaction are often lacking, costly to provide, and are highly policy specific rendering generalization difficult. But are perceptual performance measures valid, and do they generate unbiased findings? We examine these questions in a...

摘要：When administrative agencies are terminated, do they quietly fade from public view? On the one hand, the terminated agencies may have weak issue networks and agency reputations, allowing them to lose public salience. On the other, strong issue networks and agency reputations may mean that termination increases attention to the agencies, making the government pay the cost of public attention generated by the actors within the issue networks. We assess these competing claims by using a unique da...

摘要：There has been a proliferation of administrative practices and processes of policy-making and policy delivery beyond but often overlapping with traditional nation state policy processes. New formal and informal institutions and actors are behind these policy processes, often in cooperation with national public administrations but sometimes quite independently from them. These multi-stakeholder initiatives', global public-private partnerships' and global commissions' are creating or delivering ...

摘要：This article seeks to explain why the media affect some governmental agencies more than others. We develop a measuring instrument for the mediatization of agencies; gauging how they adapt to the media. We analyse the effects of six potential explanations of mediatization: media pressure, organizational size and task, salience, geographic location, and management structure. The analysis is based on a comprehensive quantitative contents analysis of policy documents from all governmental agencies...
