摘要:This article investigates the effectiveness of anticorruption practices against bribery incidence, highlighting top-down and bottom-up approaches. A random survey of local residents is used in conjunction with institutional anticorruption indicators. Findings suggest that the top-down approach works, but with substantial variation across practices. More intense top-down anticorruption deters bribery incidence within citizens' dense networks, and more judicial convictions directly suppress citi...

摘要:Public administration is a relatively young field with a growing academic community. Against the background of enduring discussions about theory and increasing research output and diversification within the field, the authors apply the sociology of knowledge approach to discourse that combines discourse theories and a social constructionist tradition to the exemplary case of public value research. The authors scrutinize 50 articles from 12 journals over 18 years to trace the development of pub...

摘要:While trust in government at all levels is at an all-time low, actual corruption at the municipal level has been declining. One factor often credited with this decline is the introduction of the council-manager form of government. One of the key reasons the council-manager form was created in the early 1900s was to act as an antidote to the corruption prevalent in the big-city machine politics of the era. Despite this, no one has tested whether the council-manager form has in fact influenced t...

摘要:This article introduces four innovations to the literature on administrative corruption. First, it employs a neo-patrimonialism framework by addressing measurement, identification, and endogeneity issues that beset the literature. Second, unlike cross-country studies, it uses firms as the unit of analysis. Third, unlike the conventional literature, the article uses large-n (n = 8,436) panel survey data of key informants in 17 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Finally, unlike the conventional li...

摘要:Standard anticorruption interventions consist of intensified monitoring and sanctioning. Rooted in principal-agent theory, these interventions are based on the assumption that corrupt acts follow a rational cost-benefit calculation by gain-seeking individuals. Given their mixed results, however, these interventions require closer scrutiny. Building on goal-framing theory, the authors argue that rule compliance requires a salient normative goal frame, since monitoring can never be perfect. Bein...

摘要:Relatively little is known about when, why, and how some jurisdictions double down on policy priorities, rapidly adopting multiple measures tackling the same issue. Rapid policy expansion can emerge in fast-evolving, uncertain, and contested policy arenas in which pressures for policy making are not satisfied, and even may be strengthened, by initial policy innovation. This article analyzes local government policy making on high-volume hydraulic fracturing by New York State municipalities from...
