摘要：This study examines whether and where bureaucratic representation occurs within the bureaucratic hierarchy and how intergovernmental representation contributes to government efforts to reduce social disparities and improve gender-related outcomes. The context is the national/central, ministerial, and regional governments of the United Republic of Tanzania for 14 years (2006-2019). The findings reveal that gender representation at the upper level of government plays a primary role in reducing p...

摘要：The field of public administration offers differing perspectives on the contributions of senior managers and street-level bureaucrats to performance, focusing generally on the presence rather than absence of these actors in the policy process. This study explores whether job vacancies among senior managers and lower-level employees affect service delivery and how any effects differ by type of employee. Using panel data from South African local governments between 2011 and 2015, we estimate the...

摘要：Securing privately owned critical infrastructure from cyberattacks poses a novel challenge for the modern regulatory state. In this domain, the interests of the government are only partly aligned with those of nongovernmental owner-operators, necessitating some sort of state action. However, because (1) security conditions change swiftly and (2) the information and tools necessary for effective planning and response are distributed across the private and public sectors, standard regulatory too...

摘要：In polycentric governance systems, decisions that influence a given policy issue are often made across a series of forums: venues where actors meet to resolve collective action problems. Here, we examine who does and does not participate in forums, and the factors driving that participation. We analyze forum participation patterns of 307 actors involved in Swiss water governance, who could participate in water governance forums. We find that the majority of actors do not participate in any for...

摘要：A key claim in the administrative burden framework is that citizens do not experience interactions with public programs as equally burdensome. Existing research has argued that citizens' generic human capital may influence the severity of these experiences. In this article, we argue that a specific form of human capital specific to interactions with public programs-administrative literacy-affects the psychological costs recipients are facing. Specifically, we propose that administrative litera...

摘要：This article develops the concept of the public service ecosystem across four levels-the institutional, service, individual, and beliefs levels. It does this by integrating service management and marketing theory with public administration and management theory. Consequently, it explores both the dimensions of value and value creation within the public service ecosystem at each level, and the interactions and inter-relationships across these levels. It concludes with the key implications for p...
