  摘要：Policies to integrate and coordinate across sectors have become important in recent years, but we know little about the drivers of these reforms. This article evaluates three explanations for differences in patterns of policy integration and administrative coordination reforms across countries and policy sectors over time. Reform activity could reflect: (a) the fragmenting effects of agencification; (b) a strategy of governments to regain policy control; or (c) partisan agendas. We test these ...
• Is there anything Left? The politics of social spending in new democracies AI翻译
  作者：Siren, Sebastian

  摘要：The evolution of public social expenditures displays divergent patterns across non-western countries. This exploratory article argues that in order to understand the domestic sources of this divergence, institutional and structural explanations should be complemented with an actor-oriented perspective. Analyses of the role of party politics in non-OECD democracies, through multivariate fixed-effect regressions using data from 46 countries between 1995 and 2015, reveals a robust positive associ...
• Keeping control of regulation? Domestic constraints on the creation of independent authorities in emerging and developing economies AI翻译

  摘要：Regulatory independence has become an international norm over the past decades. Yet, governments in some emerging and developing economies have eschewed the model. We argue that this outcome is shaped by the domestic institutional context; in particular, authoritarianism and traditions of state control over the economy. Analyzing new data on the adoption and operation of independent competition authorities between 1990 and 2017, we find that authoritarianism and, to some extent, state-led econ...
• Public sector corruption and perceived government performance in transition AI翻译

  摘要：We offer evidence that public sector corruption has an inverse association with evaluations of performance at both the local and central government levels. Consistent with ex ante expectations, perceptions of corruption among local government officials are directly and negatively related to performance evaluations at the local government level and relatively less so at the central government level. Conversely, perceptions of corruption among overall government officials have a stronger negativ...
• Policy preferences and ministerial structures: Immigrant integration governance in Western Europe, 1997-2017 AI翻译
  作者：Hernes, Vilde
  作者单位：University of Oslo
  摘要：This article tests an often-stated assumption in the machinery of government literature: that government parties' issue and policy preferences affect the ministerial structure. Using a new Dataset on Immigrant Integration Governance (DIIG) that documents the ministerial structure of immigrant integration in 16 Western European countries during 1997-2017, the analysis finds that divergence and change characterize the ministerial structure. The analysis finds that right-oriented governments are ...
• Does formal independence of regulators change? Evidence from Portuguese agencies AI翻译
  作者：Coroado, Susana
  作者单位：Universidade de Lisboa
  摘要：The rise of the regulatory state has led to the global diffusion of independent regulatory agencies (IRAs). IRAs are the result of the tension between the functional demands of regulatory capitalism and the need of politicians to control policies. Their life cycles have not been linear. Their legal statuses have changed over time, affecting their degrees of independence. This article revisits Gilardi's formal independence index, makes an in-depth diachronic and cross-sectorial analysis of 11 r...

• Googling the requester: Identity-questing and discrimination in public service provision AI翻译
  作者：Michener, Gregory; Velasco, Rafael B.; Contreras, Evelyn; Rodrigues, Karina F.

  摘要：Innovating upon previous field experiments and theories of identity-based discrimination, we test whether public officials are using searches (identity-questing) to profile citizens and acting on latent biases. Pairs of institutional and noninstitutional requesters send lower and moderate burden freedom of information (FOI) requests-providing no identity cues apart from undistinctive names, e-mails, and ID numbers-to nearly 700 of Brazil's largest municipalities. Results show institutional req...
• Varieties of consumer credit data regimes: A regulatory governance approach AI翻译
  作者：Mizrahi-Borohovich, Inbar; Levi-Faur, David
  作者单位：Hebrew University of Jerusalem
  摘要：Credit markets are expanding, and with them also the automated, large-scale commercialization of personal credit data. The increasing use of data and scores for commodified decision making lends greater urgency to the study of credit data regulatory regimes. This article promotes a comparative regulatory governance perspective as the basis for theory-driven, multidimensional measurement. In order to measure consumer protection, we distinguish three different subregimes (collection, profiling, ...
