  摘要：Elected governments and states have delegated extensive powers to non-majoritarian institutions (NMIs) such as independent central banks and regulatory agencies, courts, and international trade and investment organizations, which have become central actors in governance. But, far from having resolved the balance between political control and governing competence or removed certain issues from political debate, NMIs have faced challenges to their legitimacy by elected officials and sometimes at...
• Co-financing community-driven development through informal taxation: Evidence from south-central Somalia AI翻译

  摘要：Community contributions are often required as part of community-driven development programs, with contributions encouraged through matching grants. However, little remains known about the impact of matching grants or the implications of requiring community contributions-also known as informal taxation. We explore this research gap through a randomized control trial of a matching grant program in Gedo region in south-central Somalia. We find that matching grants can increase informal taxation a...

• Conflict and salience as drivers of corporate lobbying? An elite survey experiment AI翻译
  作者：Aizenberg, Ellis
  作者单位：Aarhus University
  摘要：This paper argues that a high degree of conflict and a low degree of salience on a policy issue drives corporations to lobby alone rather than via a business association. Previous research has addressed drivers at organizational, sector and structural level. This paper adds an issue perspective. These arguments are important as democracies thrive when business employs its power in a responsible manner. When corporations lobby alone, it can be a challenge to do so as they tend to overlook long-...
• The non-reversal of delegation in international standard-setting in finance: The Basel Committee and the European Union AI翻译
  作者：Quaglia, Lucia

  摘要：International non-majoritarian institutions (NMIs) in finance have proliferated over the last decades. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) is the main international NMI in finance and the European Union (EU) is one of its core jurisdictions. Despite the far-reaching effects of international banking standards in the EU, especially the Basel accords, there has been limited politicization of delegation to the BCBS and no attempt to reverse it. Why? By taking a soft principal-agent a...

  摘要：Public officials use blame avoidance strategies when communicating performance information. While such strategies typically involve shifting blame to political opponents or other governments, we examine how they might direct blame to ethnic groups. We focus on the COVID-19 pandemic, where the Trump administration sought to shift blame by scapegoating (using the term Chinese virus) and mitigate blame by positively framing performance information on COVID-19 testing. Using a novel experimental d...
• Political and administrative control of expert groups-A mixed-methods study AI翻译
  作者：Hesstvedt, Stine; Christensen, Johan

  摘要：Governments face a fundamental dilemma when asking expert groups for advice. Experts possess knowledge that can help governments design effective and legitimate policies. However, they can also propose different policies than those preferred by government. How do governments solve this conundrum? Through a mixed-methods study, the article examines politico-administrative control with expert advisory commissions in Norway. Arguing that both politicians and bureaucrats can take interest in limit...
