  摘要：This study assesses whether economic interest groups (business associations and trade unions) enjoy better access to the policymaking process than citizen groups. It compares the interest group population in Switzerland with those sets of groups present in the administrative and legislative venues. The study devises an aggregate measure of access to policymaking as a whole, which weights access according to different venues' importance. It theorizes the granting of access as a sequential proce...
• Consultocracy and its discontents: A critical typology and a call for a research agenda AI翻译

  摘要：In the past few decades, many sector-specific case studies have been conducted on the use of consultants in the public sector. However, the overall picture of the qualitative changes facilitated by consultants remains fragmented, and a comprehensive framework on how consultocracy affects governance is lacking. This article shows how the increased use of consultants has impacted the operational logics of public administration and governance at large. Drawing from a large multisectoral case stud...

  摘要：Design thinking has become a popular approach for governments around the world seeking to address complex governance challenges. It offers novel techniques and speaks to broader questions of who governs, how they govern, and the limits of rational instrumentalism in policy making. Juxtaposing design thinking with an older tradition of policy design, this article offers the first critical analysis of the application of design thinking to policy making. It argues that design thinking does not su...

• The paradox of collective action: Linking interest aggregation and interest articulation in EU legislative lobbying AI翻译

  摘要：Olson's logic of collective action predicts that business interest associations face fewer collective action problems than citizen action groups. This article challenges this assumption by arguing that forming an organization comes with different collective action problems than voicing a joint policy position. This leads us to examine an important paradox: Citizen groups face challenges in establishing themselves as organizations but find it relatively easy to position themselves on policy iss...
• Good governance and multidimensional poverty: A comparative analysis of 71 countries AI翻译
  作者：Jindra, Christoph; Vaz, Ana
  作者单位：University of Oxford
  摘要：In 2015, the international community committed to reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions. According to international development agencies, good governance is crucial to achieving this. We examine the relationship between good governance and multidimensional poverty using hierarchical models and survey data for 71 countries. Our results suggest there is a direct effect of good governance on multidimensional poverty a...
• How street-level bureaucrats become policy entrepreneurs: The case of urban renewal AI翻译
  作者：Lavee, Einat; Cohen, Nissim
  作者单位：University of Haifa
  摘要：Under what conditions will street-level bureaucrats act as policy entrepreneurs? Drawing on the case of social workers working with disadvantaged populations in the context of urban renewal in Israel, we suggest a framework for addressing this question. The research contributes to the literature of public administration and policy both by analyzing the strategies these entrepreneurs adopt to increase their influence on policy design and by proposing that the combination of perceptions of an ac...
• The politics of social spending after the Great Recession: The return of partisan policy making AI翻译
  作者：Savage, Lee
  作者单位：University of London; King's College London
  摘要：Prior research shows that the effect of partisanship on social expenditure declined over time in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. In this article, the author argues that the 2007/2008 recession resulted in the reemergence of partisan policy making in social spending. This was a result of mainstream parties needing to respond to the growing challenge from nonmainstream parties as well as demonstrating that they responded to the economic crisis by offering...
