摘要:What motivates US-based environmental nongovernmental organizations (ENGOs) to incorporate social justice (SJ) into their missions and activities? How does this integration occur? ENGOs could integrate SJ issues that speak directly to their environmental mission or address non-environmental topics, such as police reform. Their integration might also be symbolic or substantive. We hypothesize that ENGOs' risk/reward calculations, derived from their organizational characteristics, influenced whe...

摘要:In the past decades, scholars have provided novel insights on the role of media within regulation. Still, this strand of research has received less attention to the networked nature of contemporary regulatory governance. This article studies surrogate inspectorates, who focus on motivating the implementation/enforcement of regulatory rules, often temporary and without formal capacity. Based on a quantitative content analysis of 2700 newspaper articles, this article studies how the presence of ...
