摘要：Across 124 jurisdictions, formal legal architecture for AI-related rights protection-including data protection legislation, independent oversight authorities, and sanctioning powers-is substantially more developed than the institutional conditions that make those rights operationally enforceable in practice. This paper introduces the concept of the capacity-justiciability gap to capture this structural disconnect: the distance between the formal existence of rights-relevant legal infrastructur...

摘要：The European Commission's decision to expand its 2014 Regulation on electronic identification and trust services toward wallet-based digital identities marked a significant shift in the governance of users' digital identities. The intersection between private digital services, public prerogatives, and individual self-determination raises questions of data governance, notably power conflicts over control and usage. This study investigates the governance of the European Digital Identity Framewor...

摘要：This paper examines social assistance for vulnerable families at the frontline level of service delivery, exploring how citizens' trust and distrust are shaped within this administrative context. It addresses three questions: Do citizens distinguish between trust and distrust in frontline workers and public institutions when reporting on their encounters with welfare services? Which key attributes of trustworthiness emerge from their experiences at each of these levels? And most importantly, t...

摘要：In established democracies, the threat of regulatory capture-often implicated in major crises-is usually less about financial mechanisms like bribery and more about the subtle social processes of cultural capture. But how exactly is cultural capture defined, theorized, and assessed, and what are its underlying mechanisms, manifestations, and impact? This article presents a systematic review (n = 39) of cultural capture, identifying 7 descriptions and 10 mechanisms. We consolidate these into fi...

摘要：Much of scholarly writing on compliance is derived from the experiences of Western multi-national corporations operating in developed economies. This introduction to the special issue China in Compliance departs from such convention by asking how compliance works in China. By broadening the scope of compliance studies to include non-Western contexts, including China and its relationship to the Global South and nondemocratic settings, the special issue breaks new ground in the empirical analysi...

摘要：Over the past three decades, a growing number of Chinese enterprises have entered Ethiopia's construction and manufacturing sectors as contractors and investors. While adapting to a new regulatory environment, many of these companies have faced administrative challenges and accusations of noncompliance, some of which have been brought to court. Drawing on ethnographic research, this article shows how and why Ethiopian lawyers employed by Chinese firms have become critical to cultivating compli...

摘要：Deterrence theory underpins numerous anti-corruption interventions. Yet, empirical evidence on its application to corruption remains limited. Existing studies rely mainly on laboratory experiments and focus on certainty and severity of punishment, leaving the role of celerity unexplored. This study addresses these gaps by examining the three elements of deterrence-certainty, severity, and celerity-using data from 25 European Union countries across five time periods (2013-2024), while controlli...

摘要：This article pursues two objectives. First, it aims to trace the genealogy of data protection regulation in major liberal democracies. To do so, it examines the evolution of this regulation in the United States, France, and Germany, among others, and relies on the policy actors' triangle framework. Second, the article provides an explanation for the paradox that emerges from this diachronic analysis: a long-term stagnation of data protection regulation despite the radical transformation of the...

摘要：Legal corruption, also known as institutional corruption, has become prevalent in the public sector, but empirical research on this subject is still at a nascent stage. Given its potentially detrimental impact on the perceived level of organizational capacity among internal members, understanding civil servants' views of legal corruption is essential. We contribute to this literature a discussion of civil servants' assessment of legal corruption in the government and evidence from a survey exp...

摘要：This article explores the mechanisms through which institutional corruption and engagement in corruption at the societal level may be normalized to the extent that citizens adopt an instrumental approach to corruption. Such an approach means that the public accepts corrupt practices and sees them as reasonable, as long as they achieve results that they see as beneficial. We develop a theoretical framework that includes institutional and behavioral independent variables. We then test our resear...
