摘要：Despite a growing awareness of the interrelation of environmental and social sustainability issues and the need to tackle them in integrated ways, few efforts have been made to develop an analytical framework of eco-social policy integration. In particular, a theoretical link to the broader social science debate on policy integration is missing. This paper aims to contribute to closing this gap by suggesting an analytical framework for a processual understanding of eco-social policy integratio...

摘要：This paper investigates how citizens perceive and evaluate the digitalization of education. Drawing on original survey data from six OECD countries (Germany, Japan, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the US), the study addresses the overarching question: Does public opinion support or inhibit the digital transformation of education? The analysis focuses on three core aspects in this regard-perceptions of state performance, demand for digital device use in schools, and concerns about data governance. F...

摘要：How do provisions for administrative sanctioning affect the implementation of loose legal norms? To streamline regulation, governments have increased their penal capacity by authorizing administrative sanctioning, and they have decentralized regulatory responsibility by loosening legal norms. A case study of Norway's animal welfare governance shows how using administrative sanctions to enforce loose legal norms led to unpredictable sanctioning and, thereby, subverted regulatees' trust in law e...

摘要：In response to the interconnected ecological and social crises, there is growing interest in the integration of climate and social policy, both in academic discourse and in public debate. While the European Union has begun to address both dimensions jointly through the European Green Deal (EGD), it remains institutionally separate at the national level. Non-state actors on both levels are increasingly engaged in debates about the social consequences of climate change and related policies. Draw...

摘要：Many climate change mitigation policies face public opposition, especially when they impose visible costs on households and are perceived as unfairly regressive. This country-comparative study examines specific social policy instruments that may help build public support for increasing fossil fuel taxes in Europe. Using multilevel modeling with data from the European Social Survey and the Social Policy Indicators database, we find that higher levels of means-tested social assistance are positi...

摘要：This paper investigates how the concept of skills operates as a malleable governance instrument in EU policy, allowing for coordination despite diverse national priorities. Analyzing National Implementation Plans (NIPs) of the Osnabr & uuml;ck Declaration, we examine how Germany, France, Sweden, and Spain interpret and operationalize skill formation through nationally specific lenses. Despite being a least-likely case for ambiguity, the NIPs reveal strategic variation: Germany links skills to ...

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：Governments across the European Union (EU) have pledged a stronger commitment to vocational education and training (VET) in response to economic structural change. But have states actually become more central to skill formation? Using mixed methods, this paper examines whether state involvement in European skill formation systems has increased over the past two decades. Applying seeded Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic modeling to 291 standardized descriptions of VET systems, the study finds t...

摘要：Compliance with government rules and guidelines is essential for effectively managing pandemic emergencies. Few studies have examined how street-level bureaucrats (SLBs)' behavioral performance shapes citizen compliance decisions. This study combines the stereotype content model (SCM) with the elaboration likelihood model (ELM) of persuasion in a large-scale randomized between-subjects survey experiment conducted in China. The study tests the hypothesis that citizens' impressions of warmth and...

摘要：How have advanced capitalist democracies transitioned from a Fordist to a post-Fordist, knowledge-based economy? And why have they followed seemingly similar policy trajectories despite different economic models and sectoral specializations? We develop the notion of skill-biased policy change to answer these questions. Drawing on a distinction between valence and partisan issues in the transition to the knowledge economy, we highlight the partisan and business group politics underpinning diffe...
