摘要：Platform companies like Uber and Airbnb are depicted as agile policy entrepreneurs who can navigate the boundaries of regulatory frameworks and manipulate regulations to their advantage; however, recent empirical studies suggest that their capacity to influence policy depends on the particular political and institutional context. This study investigates the evolving responses of local regulators to platform companies across 108 European cities between 2012 and 2022. Utilizing a regulatory stri...

摘要：The European Union (EU) is making regulatory efforts to allow for the safe integration of drones into civilian airspace through automated means. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/664 concerning unmanned traffic management (a system referred to as U-Space) furthers that commitment. Accordingly, drone operators must avail themselves of automatic traffic-related U-Space services concerning flight authorization, geo awareness, traffic information, and network identification before enter...

摘要：To address the shortcomings associated with state ownership, countries have implemented various legal strategies to curb political influence in state-owned enterprises. This research studies whether these strategies constrain the government's ability to use their appointment powers for political considerations. Using logit models, I analyze whether the probability of chief executive officer (CEO) turnover increases once a new government comes into power and whether some state-owned enterprise ...

摘要：This paper advances research on policy accumulation by analyzing its political consequences in the French housing sector. It argues that, in the context of decentralization reforms, the accumulation of policy instruments has undermined national steering capacities and intensified territorial inequalities. Decentralization accelerated accumulation by decoupling policy formulation from the costs and administrative responsibilities of implementation, shifting these burdens onto subnational govern...

摘要：Investor-driven climate governance (ICG) is premised on mobilizing finance to address climate change by leveraging investors to pressure companies to reduce emissions. Examining the rapid growth of ICG from an institutional political economy perspective, we argue that powerful financial and regulatory actors with varied interests coalesced to promote the discourse that climate risks equal financial risks, and to develop a finance-centered mechanism of climate governance. The flourishing field ...

摘要：Recent studies focus on the issue of authority transfer to supranational institutions. While examining the opportunities and obstacles for expanding the Union's competencies, this literature often overlooks the effects of adopting ambitious policies on their implementation modes. This paper argues that the costs associated with the expansion of EU authority and opportunities for blame-shifting drive delegation choices and define the relative discretion granted to agents. Proposals for expandin...

摘要：In contrast to the quiet politics of the pre-2008 period, macroeconomic policy has become noisy. This break raises a question: How do independent agencies designed for quiet politics react when a contentious public turns the volume up on them? Central banks provide an interesting case because while they are self-professed adherents to communicative transparency, individual case studies have documented their use of strategic silence as a defense mechanism against politicization. This paper prov...

摘要：Whistleblowing in private and public sector organizations has gained momentum in the last decade. Most theories seeking to explain why some employees report wrongdoings largely disregard the interaction between the cognitive and emotional components of this decision. Our article addresses this gap in the literature and proposes a theoretical model that was initially developed in cognitive psychology and accounts for such an interaction. We explore empirically its relevance in the case of priva...

摘要：This article examines how probation inspectors in England and Wales construct their self-legitimacy; the internal belief in their moral and professional right to inspect. Drawing on qualitative interviews and Bottoms and Tankebe's dialogic model of legitimacy, it shows how inspectors justify their authority through legal mandates, professional expertise, methodological rigor, and a commitment to public service. In the absence of coercive powers, inspectors rely on what this article conceptuali...
