• The guardian state: A comparative analysis of interest group regulation AI翻译

  摘要：This article discusses the regulation of interest groups by the state in four democracies: two liberal, namely Australia and Canada, and two nonliberal, namely Israel and Turkey. The analysis centers on five questions: the scope of regulation, its causes, public reaction to regulation, implementation of regulation, and its impact on state and society. The article suggests that the type of regime does make a difference regarding all parameters of regulation. Liberal democracies tend to regulate...
• Clinton, Europe and economic diplomacy: What makes the EU different? AI翻译

  摘要：The Clinton administration's economic diplomacy has been more aggressive, politicized and controversial than that of any recent US administration. We examine its application to the European Union (EU) and seek to answer the question: what makes Europe different? Put another way why has the US pursued cooperation on behind-the-border issues such as competition policy, standards and investment rules, and eschewed export promotion? We offer three explanations. First, the EU's market is unique: if...

  摘要：Modern institutional theory specifies two different aspects of institutions. The first aspect-and by far the predominant perspective-sees institutions as recurrent patterns of behavior, values, norms and practices which guide social and political behavior. The second aspect refers to the manifest institutional systems of the state. These two sides of institutions are supposed to be mutually reinforcing. Thus, institutions are ''embedded'' in overarching systems of values at the same time as th...
• The recruitment of women cabinet ministers in the Canadian provinces AI翻译

  摘要：Although there have been several studies of women in legislatures in Canada, a cabinet position is a much stronger position from which to wield power in an executive-centered and party-disciplined parliamentary system. In the past decade, the increase of women's share of legislative seats, for majority parties as well as others, has led to move women being appointed to cabinet portfolios. This article utilizes data from the ten Canadian provinces over an 18-year period, from 1976 to 1994, to a...
• Centralization, access, and influence: The Reagan administration and the semiconductor industry's trade complaints AI翻译
  作者：Cortell, AP
  摘要：This article explores how the relative centralization of decisionmaking authority can affect a societal group's ability to achieve its interests. It examines the LIS semiconductor industry's efforts to persuade the Reagan administration to press Japan on its import barriers and its firms' trade practices. I find that the industry's eventual success was facilitated by an institutional change that centralized the structure of decisionmaking authority. Centralization proved more favourable to the...
• The dynamics of inertia: Institutional persistence and change in telecommunications and health care AI翻译
  作者：Genschel, P
  摘要：Important strands of the new institutionalism assume that the efficiency of institutions declines over time. Institutions, according to this view, are move stable than their environment, which supposedly results in an ever increasing misfit. This misfit, it is hypothesized, can only be corrected by the creative destruction of the institutions. The article takes issue with this view. Using case studies from the international telecommunications regime and the German health care system, it argues...
• Central audit institutions and performance auditing: A comparative analysis of organizational strategies in the OECD AI翻译
  作者：Barzelay, M
  摘要：The New Public Management supplies a rationale for broadening the mandate of external audit institutions to encompass performance auditing. This article examines conceptual, empirical, and managerial issues raised by external performance auditing. Conceptually, performance auditing is a misnomer for a class of mainly evaluative review activities. Empirically, OECD countries vary in terms of the specific types of performance audits conducted by their principal external audit bodies. Explaining ...
