摘要：Against a backdrop of increasing political, economic, and ecological volatility, participatory governance could provide a valuable mechanism to counteract democratic backsliding caused by unchecked power and regulatory capture. Food systems in particular are a site where many interests and sectors converge-including health, agriculture, land use, labor, environment, and climate change-and where there has been increasing interest and experimentation in forms of participatory governance. This re...

摘要：The development of national strategic plans (NSPs) under the EU's common agricultural policy (CAP) involves considerable coordination between Member States and the (European) Commission. In this process, the Commission provides recommendations to each Member State before they submit their draft NSPs and observations at a later stage before Member States submit their final NSP. The Commission's assessment is based on the NSPs' contribution to the formal CAP's objectives, as well as the (not bin...

摘要：The extent to which Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs) conform to the ideal rational decision-making model depends on factors such as political appropriation and the capacity of regulatory bodies. However, despite RIAs being embedded in bureaucratic settings, little research examines how the degree of formalization of RIA implementation affects their quality. In many contexts, RIAs are implemented within decision-making environments characterized by bureaucratization, where discretion is con...

摘要：This paper adapts and applies existing indicators to measure the complexity of German migration policy over time. Building on recent scholarship that conceptualizes migration policy as multidimensional, I adapt a measurement strategy from the EUPLEX Project to capture three key components of regulatory complexity: structural, linguistic, and relational. Using an original dataset (COMPLEXMIG), I apply quantitative text analysis to all versions of the German Residence Act from 2005 to 2023. The ...

摘要：This article examines why Singapore and Hong Kong adopted competition law by testing four diffusion mechanisms: coercion, competition, learning, and the Brussels Effect. Using structured process tracing and extensive archival evidence, it evaluates the distinct observable implications of each mechanism. Singapore-often cited as a most-likely case for the Brussels Effect-adopted competition law only when the United States made it a requirement of the USSFTA. Hong Kong, despite its greater expos...

摘要：In a systematic narrative review of 33 longitudinal corporate crime studies, we identify and describe corporate criminal career dimensions: participation, frequency, crime mix, and duration. Themes and patterns across data sources are assessed, including information collected that informs a corporate criminal career perspective and what remains unexamined. Main findings reveal: (1) most longitudinal studies do not explicitly focus on the corporate criminal career; (2) a significant number of c...

摘要：The twin transition to a green and digital economy is linked to the need for new skills in the workforce. However, given the scale and speed of change, it is challenging for policymakers, employers, and educational institutions to predict what skills will be in demand and how to create them. In addition to strategic uncertainty, European policymakers are confronted with a diversity of national and regional skills systems and a multi-polar power distribution. Based on our governance framework c...

摘要：While outsourcing of public services is today widespread, maintaining their quality remains a challenge. External inspections are seen as essential for overseeing private providers, yet their effectiveness has not been thoroughly investigated. This study evaluates the impact of pre-scheduled inspections on the performance of private and publicly operated prisons in England and Wales between 2004 and 2012, focusing on two key safety indicators: self-harm and violence. Our findings reveal that p...

摘要：Vocational education plays a vital role in fostering green skills that are central for achieving climate goals, sustaining economic competitiveness, and promoting social inclusion. Expectations are especially high for collective vocational education systems, in which both employers and the state are deeply involved in governance and funding. However, little is known about the extent to which collective systems have adapted to the skill demands of a green economy. Using Denmark as a case, this ...

摘要：Financial asset disclosure laws are widely implemented to combat conflicts of interest among policymakers, yet their economic impact remains poorly understood. This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of how these transparency measures affect macroeconomic outcomes across the 50 US states. We theorize that these disclosure and recusal laws could have divergent impacts on macroeconomic performance: they might enhance economic outcomes by curtailing the exploitation of political conn...
