  摘要：This article seeks to contribute to the discussion of the dynamics of trust in street-level public sector work, especially in settings where relationships between agencies, frontline workers, and society are fragile. Data was gathered in different vulnerable areas of the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil using interviews with frontline workers and complemented with field notes from a five-year longitudinal study in one high-density area with a history of violence. Concern was to understand how, despit...

  摘要：Government impartiality is considered a core feature of quality of government, and one that leads to favorable macro-level outcomes. We have limited knowledge, however, of how impartiality affects citizens' perceptions of public service quality. In particular, we do not know how the impacts of impartiality differ across citizens from different socioeconomic backgrounds. Understanding this relationship is important because citizens are the main beneficiaries of public services and are directly ...
• Balancing constituency and congruence: How constituency involvement affects positional congruence between organized interests and the general public AI翻译

  摘要：This article asks to what extent and under which conditions interest groups are congruent with public opinion. We argue that interest groups can be caught in a balancing act between engaging with their constituency on the one hand and aligning their position with the broader public on the other hand. We contribute to previous studies by arguing that the effect of interest group type on congruence is moderated by the degree to which constituencies are involved in advocacy processes and the sali...
• How global performance assessments shape attitudes toward government decision-making: Survey experimental evidence AI翻译

  摘要：Global Performance Assessments (GPAs), which rank countries on a range of policy areas, can encourage domestic demands for policy reform. Yet can they also affect at what level of government-local or national-citizens want reform to take place? We theorize that, by emphasizing how countries fare relative to others, GPAs prompt citizens to view domestic policy underperformance as a national problem requiring national solutions. This increases calls for vesting policymaking authority in the hand...
• Mapping the black box of intraministerial organization: An analytical approach to explore structural diversity below the portfolio level AI翻译
  作者：Bertels, Jana; Schulze-Gabrechten, Lena
  作者单位：University of Potsdam
  摘要：This article explores the structural diversity of intraministerial organization over time. Based on organization theory, it proposes a generic typology for intraministerial units applicable to any hierarchically structured government organization. We empirically investigate the critical case of the German federal bureaucracy. By classifying its subunits, we analyze the longitudinal development of structural differentiation and its correspondence to denominational variety. The data stem from a ...

• Hungry for power? Regional elites and the architecture of government AI翻译
  作者：Tatham, Michael; Bauer, Michael W.
  作者单位：University of Bergen
  摘要：How can we better understand the architecture of government? Governmental structures are regularly altered by the dispersion of power upward and downward to supranational and subnational bodies. The preferences of citizens and elites in this regard are well documented at the national and EU levels. However, the preferences of regional elites remain somewhat of a black box. What are their preferences when it comes to the distribution of competences across the regional-national-EU triptych? This...
• Trust-based corruption networks: A comparative analysis of two municipal governments AI翻译
  作者：Perez-Chiques, Elizabeth; Meza, Oliver
  摘要：This article explores the role of trust in corrupt networks and networks that facilitate corruption. Specifically, we ask what is the role of particularized trust in the operation of systemic corruption? How is the basis of trust reflected in the logic of corruption and with which effects? Based on the analysis of 50 in-depth interviews in two Mexican cities, we analyze two types of particularized trust that bind actors in informal networks: trust based on political affiliation and/or personal...
• Everyday illiberalism: How Hungarian subnational politics propel single-party dominance AI翻译
  作者：Jakli, Laura; Stenberg, Matthew
  作者单位：University of California System; University of California Berkeley
  摘要：While numerous studies consider the roles that media consolidation, court-packing, and economic crises have played in Hungary's democratic decline since 2010, none have considered the subnational mechanisms driving illiberalism. This study examines the types of subnational procedural tinkering that propel illiberalism by reducing local capacity for institutional resilience. Specifically, we trace how the right-wing Fidesz-KDNP government implemented subnational constraints to prevent the reeme...
