• Reining in the bureaucrats: Democratic transition and administrative procedural reform in Korea AI翻译

  摘要：How do civilian presidents control their bureaucracies after taking over from an authoritarian regime? To answer this question, I develop a 11 reining in theory of delegation. I argue that presidents who faces intra-branch conflict over policy issues and cannot appoint-and dismiss-freely will solve their delegation problems through administrative procedure acts (APAs) and related laws. While some scholars argue that APAs are tools for preserving the status quo, I find that APAs help presidents...

• Spontaneous adaptation in public management: An overview AI翻译
  作者：Campbell, Colin
  摘要：This collection addresses the issue of why it so often proves difficult to foster innovation in public management. Specifically, it focuses its attention on why reform efforts encounter so frequently intractable obstacles stemming from the erosion of the mutual regard among political executives and career officials for the integrity of each others' respective competences in the devising of policies and the crafting and implementation of decisions based upon these.
• SARS in Canada and China: Two approaches to emergency health policy AI翻译

  摘要：China and Canada addressed the transnational 2003 SARS outbreak within a common, multilevel network of public-health expertise. The two countries deployed distinct public-health strategies, and faced distinct levels of resistance. This article addresses this comparison. During this epidemic state of exception, both countries adopted emergency policy instruments and overall policy styles. However, Chinese emergency boundary policing corresponded better to everyday experience than did hospital-b...

• Grabbing hand or helping hand?: :: Corruption and the economic role of the state AI翻译
  作者：Hopkin, Jonathan; Rodriguez-Pose, Andres

  摘要：This article seeks to disentangle which features of government intervention are linked to corruption and which are not, by distinguishing between the government roles of regulator, entrepreneur, and consumer. It finds that the degree of regulation of private business activity is the strongest predictor of corruption, and that high levels of public spending are related to low levels of corruption. There is no evidence of direct government involvement in production having any bearing on corrupti...
• Accountability in the privatized state AI翻译

  摘要：As well as better efficiency and improved services, privatization has also often promised improved accountability. But how does the empirical evidence on this look and what are the lessons here? This article looks at the notion of accountability and the degree to which privatizing public sector activities might improve or worsen such mechanisms. It then looks specifically at the different systems of accountability existing following three privatization activities in Victoria and compares these...
• Decentralization, local government, and the welfare state AI翻译

  摘要：Despite growing interest in decentralized governance, the local government systems that comprise the most common element of decentralization around the world have received little systematic attention. This article, drawing on the first systematic index of decentralization to local government in 21 countries, demonstrates a close relation between Social Democratic welfare states and an intergovernmental infrastructure that in important respects ranks as the most decentralized among advanced ind...
• The American state and social engineering: Policy instruments in affirmative action AI翻译
  作者：King, Desmond
  作者单位：University of Oxford
  摘要：The American state is conventionally depicted as inactive and organizationally weak compared with the state in comparable industrial democracies, and it is sometimes depicted as weak compared with the private sector's capacities to effect change. This interpretation stems from applying an inappropriate Weberian model of stateness. This article examines the way in which measures to implement affirmative have been employed through the policy instruments of quotas to reengineer the divisions betw...
• Innovation and innovators inside government: From institutions to networks AI翻译
  作者：Considine, Mark; Lewis, Jenny M.
  作者单位：University of Melbourne
  摘要：Innovation and innovators inhabit an institutional space, which is partially defined by formal positions and partially by informal networks. This article investigates the role of politicians and bureaucrats in fostering innovation inside government and provides an empirical explanation of who the innovators are, whether this is mostly an attribute of position or role, or mostly an effect of certain forms of networking. The study uses original data collected from 11 municipal governments in Aus...
