摘要：How should the law regulate the use and management of a resource in market activity? The resource can be perceived as an entitlement, granting market participants veto power over its use and management. Alternatively, market participants can be protected as consumers with rules focusing on disclosure, repair, and safety. The two alternative protections reflect different ways of regulating the economic power of large corporate actors in the market. Property law grants individual control over th...

摘要：In conventional understandings of compliance, lawyers and compliance officers internalize compliance within corporations. Complicating this model, this article argues that compliance professionals may occupy a Janus-faced role between informality and formality. We use the case of legal brokers of Chinese investment in Cambodia as our empirical testing ground. Based on qualitative fieldwork conducted in Cambodia from 2019 to 2022, we find that legal brokers between Chinese investors and Cambodi...

摘要：Skills formation is a pressing issue for middle-income countries given the pace of technological change. In Latin America, scholars point to the hierarchical type of capitalism and its segmentalist skills formation system as the main roadblocks to exiting the middle-income trap. Yet we contend that focusing on national models of capitalism is limited because they do not explain within-country variations in highly unequal contexts. That is the case of the emergence of state-business cooperation...

摘要：Our research focuses on a French legal framework for corporate purpose that came into force with the 2019 Plan for Business Growth and Transformation law. The main differences with benefit corporations are that French law requires companies to be accountable by defining statutory environmental and social objectives, to take responsibility for achieving them through a mission committee, and to accept possible sanctions by an independent third-party body. However, the operationality, implementat...

摘要：In the context of rising authoritarian and populist political movements, scholars have increasingly identified external agency as a bulwark for liberal values. However, its capacity to protect such values may be contingent upon its acceptance within the profession-specifically, upon attitudes we conceptualize as accountability credibility. Trust in regulators by front-line civil servants remains a neglected area of regulatory studies. Hence, we propose three contrasting sets of hypotheses and ...

摘要：Both practitioners and governance scholars recognize the importance of external oversight, especially in regulated industries like the financial sector. However, the failure of financial sector regulators and enforcement officials (supervisors) to act is often cited as a primary cause of ineffective governance. Drawing on social identity theory, we hypothesize that social identities influence how supervisors perform their supervisory duties. We tested our predictions using a unique experimenta...

摘要：Recent studies examine the conditions under which citizens in democracies are willing to endorse leaders who promote antidemocratic platforms. Less is known about the downstream ramifications of democratic backsliding on American citizens' attitudes and behaviors toward government. Specifically, no study has examined whether democratic backsliding affects citizens' willingness to engage with, collaborate with, and contribute to government. This article advances this research agenda by employin...

摘要：The twin transition to a digital and green economy has placed skill formation at the center of efforts to sustain competitiveness. Reforming skill formation systems poses enduring dilemmas on how to balance concerns about economic efficiency with social inclusion while securing employer commitment. The context of significant uncertainty brought on by the twin transition-placed at all levels, from individuals to firms to the state-amplifies the challenge of building effective skills ecosystems....

摘要：This paper investigates how the EU's introduction of binding sustainability standards through the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) constitutes an authoritative claim and how this claim is legitimized. Using qualitative content analysis, the paper examines three interconnected self-legitimation strategies: (1) framing standards as optimal solutions, (2) framing sustainability challenges in support of standards as the ideal governance response, and (3) positioning the EU as a credible global s...

摘要：The article examines the implementation of mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence regulations as a politically formative process. Integrating insights from global value chain (GVC) research with the assumptions of legal struggles and legal endogeneity, the article analyses how administrative practice shapes the meaning and boundaries of due diligence obligations. The study empirically focuses on the German supply chain due diligence law, conducting a discourse analysis of eight...
