摘要：The global governance of outer space relies heavily on international agreements, yet the institutional forms of these agreements remain underexplored. This article introduces a new dataset on various design features of 952 space agreements, offering the first large-N overview of institutional design in space governance. Building on rational design theory, this article analyzes how these design features interact with one another and with negotiation structures. Our results reveal systematic tra...

摘要：The involvement of societal interests in the making of (statutory) legislation and regulation is an essential part of democratic governance and regulatory development. Thus, it comes as no surprise that the topic has been explored from various angles across the academic landscape. This systematic literature review explores the analytical dimensions and explanatory factors of interest group involvement in policy- and rulemaking processes. Drawing on 48 studies identified through the PRISMA stat...

摘要：Which candidates benefit from corruption and favoritism in public procurement? While existing studies show that politically connected firms profit from corruption risks in public procurement, we know less about whether these risks also increase the prevalence of political candidates with ties to business. This study suggests that pre-election corruption risks increase the prevalence of candidates with business ties, but that this relationship is highly contextual. Candidates with business ties...

摘要：Involvement of corporations in international crimes and conflict atrocities, such as crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide, are neither isolated events nor uncommon. Importantly, corporate involvement in atrocity crimes is shaped by conditions in zones of legal risk (International Commission of Jurists), where gross human rights violations, atrocity crimes and extreme violence are pervasive. In this context, corporations become complicit in the most serious state crimes. The empiric...

摘要：Drawing on an extension of Valerie Braithwaite's motivational postures theory (MPT), this study provides a nuanced examination of the implementation of restorative justice (RJ) by Chinese legal professionals, including police, prosecutors, and judges. Based on qualitative data from China, the study finds that the interaction among three different selves (moral, professional, and status-seeking) determines the social distance legal professionals maintain from the various RJ programs they implem...

摘要：This study investigates the impact of selective good corporate governance practices on the development of mandatory whistleblower protection policies in corporations. Using a coding instrument aligned with legislative requirements, we analyzed 66 whistleblower policies to assess their comprehensiveness and alignment with best practices. The findings reveal that, except for executive gender diversity, most good governance practices do not significantly contribute to the development of comprehen...

摘要：Why do states vary in their compliance with international anti-corruption recommendations? Research often treats the state as a unitary actor and explains variation at country-level. This article challenges that assumption by examining variation in compliance across institutional sectors within countries. Using original data from the Council of Europe's Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), the analysis shows a clear sectoral pattern. Recommendations addressed to prosecutors are implemen...

摘要：Over the past decade, the better regulation agenda has emerged as a powerful instrument for enhancing the law-making process across the EU. This paper empirically investigates Greece's adherence to better regulation principles, focusing on key aspects such as the regulatory text, public consultation processes, impact assessments, parliamentary procedures, and the activation of subordinate legislation. Utilizing a novel dataset spanning from 2015 to 2023, this study analyzes the developments in...

摘要：Over the past few decades, trust has emerged as a cornerstone of regulatory governance scholarship. Yet, despite a rise in regulatory crises and growing institutional contestation, we still know surprisingly little about how trust can be repaired once shattered. This article addresses this gap by developing a general analytical framework for regulatory trust repair, adapting insights from management scholarship to the context of regulation. The framework is then systematically tested through t...

摘要：Critics of private regulation argue that voluntary standards often fail to meaningfully improve corporate conduct while simultaneously functioning as a stumbling block that prevents the development of more stringent, mandatory regulation by states. This paper complicates this view by illustrating the instrumental value of private regulation-that is, its potential to act as a building block that facilitates the development of new government regulation that serves the public interest. Through a ...
