• Hardening corporate accountability in commodity supply chains under the European Union Deforestation Regulation AI翻译
  作者：Berning, Laila; Sotirov, Metodi

  摘要：The European Union (EU) has recently introduced the Deforestation Regulation to close regulatory gaps in the sustainability and legality of global forest and agricultural commodity supply chains. We analyze this regulatory policy change by drawing on accountability scholarship and institutionalist theories of regulation. Our results show that the Regulation aims to enhance corporate accountability mechanisms through mostly state-based hard regulation of commodity supply chains, reducing the ro...

  摘要：Do governance reforms affect public acceptance of regulatory decisions, and if so, how? We tackled this critical but under-studied question through a pair of linked survey experiments on public attitudes toward the reform of European Union (EU) pesticides regulation among a representative sample of the adult population in six EU member states. We tested the expectation that citizens are more likely to accept a regulatory decision that runs counter to their prior policy preferences if it is tak...

  摘要：Among the major decisions any legal system must make is deciding whether to establish general courts with broad jurisdiction, or specialized courts with limited jurisdiction. Under one influential argument-advanced by both judges and legal theorists-general courts foster coherence within the legal system. This Article identifies a distinct effect of establishing general courts: the complementarity effect. In the case of complementarity, general courts strategically apply different principles i...
• Transparency and corruption: Measuring real transparency by a new index AI翻译
  作者：Mungiu-Pippidi, Alina
  作者单位：Hertie School
  摘要：Despite the salience of transparency in policy and democracy debates a global measurement of transparency has always been missing. It its absence, measuring the impact of transparency on accountability and corruption for a large number of countries has been difficult, with scholars using more or less adequate proxies. This paper introduces a new measurement of real transparency-the T-index-using 14 de facto components, based on direct observations of official websites in 129 countries and five...
• From voluntary to mandatory corporate accountability: The politics of the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act AI翻译

  摘要：Following a long-standing and highly contested policy debate, in June 2021, the German parliament passed the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act requiring mandatory due diligence (MDD) of large companies, holding them accountable for the impacts of their supply chain operations abroad. Applying the discursive agency approach and using evidence from policy documents and 21 interviews with key stakeholders, we analyze the political strategies that paved the way toward MDD in Germany. The decisive str...
• Reputation management as an interplay of structure and agency: A strategic-relational approach AI翻译
  作者：Boon, Jan
  作者单位：Hasselt University; University of Antwerp; Hasselt University
  摘要：Reputation scholars in the field of regulation tend to focus on the strategic nature-or: agency-of reputation management. We know fairly little about the precise nature of the dynamics and conflicts between structural and agential factors that are experienced by regulators in practice, and how these dynamics impact reputation management and its outcomes. This study addresses these questions, using conceptual language from the strategic-relational approach to study the reputation management of ...
• The government behind insurance governance: Lessons for ransomware AI翻译
  作者：Baker, Tom; Shortland, Anja
  作者单位：University of Pennsylvania; University of London; King's College London
  摘要：The insurance as governance literature focuses on the ability of private enterprises to collectively regulate, pool, and distribute risks. This paper analyzes how governments support insurance markets to maintain insurability and limit risks to society. We propose a new conceptual framework grouping government interventions into three dimensions: regulation of risky activity, public investment in risk reduction, and co-insurance. We apply this framework to six case studies, describing insuranc...
