摘要：Governments employ public deliberation in response to citizen discontent, intending to achieve consensus, mutual understanding, and clarification. However, some studies suggest that deliberation can devolve into a dialogue of the deaf, where parties talk past each other, counterproductively leading to conflict, distrust, and confusion. Remarkably, there is limited theoretical and empirical research on how deliberation leads to such adverse outcomes. To explore this, the study examines a Dutch ...

摘要：This study investigates how organizations in collaborative networks in the United States address racial inequality in homelessness through cultural competence continuum and actionable initiatives. Conducting a content analysis, we deductively and inductively code the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) funding applications to identify the cultural competency of actions for homelessness taken by CoCs. CoCs most frequently take actions related to data and t...

摘要：Public administration research has identified institutional pressures and organizational capacity as digital maturity (DM) antecedents, yet these are typically considered in isolation. Taking the proverbial next step, this study draws on primary survey data to explain the variation of DM among local governments in Flanders (the northern region of Belgium) by juxtaposing the explanatory power of institutional pressures on the one hand, and political and administrative capacity on the other hand...

摘要：Police organizations increasingly use predictive algorithms for surveillance, raising privacy concerns and potentially decreasing citizen trust in these prominent policing tools. This paper investigates whether two dimensions of institutional transparency, transparency about legislation and external monitoring, can influence trust in predictive policing. Using a representative survey experiment with 877 Dutch citizens, we find that disclosing how police's use of predictive algorithms is monito...

摘要：Public service motivation (PSM) is widely recognized as a predictor of positive outcomes, yet relatively little is known about how it can be deliberately cultivated. Drawing on conservation of resources (COR) theory, the present research investigates whether and how exposure to moral exemplars embedded in public-sector training enhances PSM. Employing a multi-method design that combines a recall experiment with a field survey, we find that exposure to uncommon moral exemplars elicits moral ele...

摘要：Equity has been at the core of public finance going at least as far back as 1776 when Adam Smith included it as one of four canons of a good tax in his classic An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (Tax Project Institute 2025). Smith postulated that equity should be based on a taxpayer's ability to pay, establishing the foundation that defined equity by comparing taxes to income and wealth. This orientation of the equity dialogue in public finance has persisted since t...

摘要：Policy implementation studies have focused on encounters between street-level bureaucrats and citizens. However, insufficient research has explored how citizens experience such encounters, especially during crises. To address the research gap, this study investigated citizens' perspectives on the roles of street-level bureaucrats during the pandemic. Using a survey of Chinese citizens and employing Q methodology, we identified three distinct profiles: self-preserving implementers, public prote...

摘要：Studies in representative bureaucracy have focused on whether passive representation translates into active representation. We shift this analytical lens by conceptualizing passive representation not as a static demographic condition or a preliminary stage, but as a dynamic organizational process. Drawing on 15 in-depth interviews and a focus group with 14 ultra-Orthodox women serving in mid- and senior-level public positions in Israel, we examine how passive representation is enacted, negotia...

摘要：Representation, conflict among stakeholders, and how both shape outputs are of growing interest in collaborative governance research. As individuals negotiate diverse viewpoints, conflict is expected, yet gaps remain in understanding if conflict, or lack thereof, helps explain output prioritization. In this paper, we explore: (i) if more communication is associated with topics succeeding or failing to be prioritized; (ii) if communication from different types of actors (i.e., different sector ...
