• Progressive tax policy and informal labor in developing economies AI翻译

  摘要：Governments in many industrializing democracies face difficult policy trade-offs. Liberalization and informality have placed electoral pressure on them to expand noncontributory social spending. However, governments in developing democracies face constraints when attempting to finance this expansion. In some countries, the informal labor market is very large, thereby undermining the revenue that can be collected through income tax. We argue that this has given rise to a paradoxical situation. ...

  摘要：Internet-based platforms are increasingly being used by governments around the world to facilitate public engagement with citizens. However, it remains an open question whether participation through these platforms can actually enable citizens to influence policies. We address this question by studying the patterns and consequences of online participation at a major electronic petition platform in China, a country with the world's largest Internet-using population. Content analysis of over 900...
• How to organize secondary capital city regions: Institutional drivers of locational policy coordination AI翻译
  作者：Kaufmann, David; Sager, Fritz
  作者单位：University of Bern
  摘要：We analyze locational policy coordination in the metropolitan regions of secondary capital cities. Secondary capital cities-defined as capitals that are not the primary economic city of their nation states-serve as the political center of their nation states; however, they must simultaneously explore new ways to develop their own regional economies. Locational policies, and their regional coordination, aim to strengthen the economic competitiveness of metropolitan regions. Our comparison of th...
• Getting the basic nature of systemic corruption right: A reply to Marquette and Peiffer AI翻译
  作者：Persson, Anna; Rothstein, Bo; Teorell, Jan
  作者单位：University of Gothenburg; Lund University
  摘要：In reply to Marquette and Peiffer's article Grappling With the 'Real Politics' of Systemic Corruption: Theoretical Debates Versus 'Real-World' Functions, this article employs three criticisms: Marquette and Peiffer's call to grapple with the real politics of corruption does not bring much new to the table, is conceptually flawed, and risks serving as an excuse for corrupt elites to pursue business as usual. In response, we reaffirm three insights gained from collective action-based approaches ...

• Lobbying and uncertainty: Lobbying's varying response to different political events AI翻译
  作者：Cooper, Christopher A.; Boucher, Maxime
  作者单位：University of Ottawa; University of Waterloo
  摘要：Does political uncertainty affect whether lobbyists contact government officials? We suggest that the answer depends on the type of uncertainty introduced. Distinguishing between policy objective uncertainty-where organized interests and lobbyists are uncertain about the policy intentions of decision makers-and issue information uncertainty-where policymakers are uncertain about the technical details of issues-we hypothesize that whereas an increase in policy objective uncertainty leads to a d...
• NGOs and the policy-making process in Russia: The case of child welfare reform AI翻译
  作者：Bindman, Eleanor; Kulmala, Meri; Bogdanova, Elena
  作者单位：University of Liverpool; University of Helsinki
  摘要：This article explores the issue of the major reform of the child welfare sector that has been carried out in Russia in recent years. Focusing on deinstitutionalization and a child's right to a family, this reform moves Russia in the direction of international trends in this area and represents a break with previous state- and institution-dominated approach to problem families. The article explores how and why this process has come about in a traditionally top-down hybrid regime and applies the...
• Securing cyberspace: How states design governance arrangements AI翻译
  作者：Weiss, Moritz; Jankauskas, Vytautas
  作者单位：University of Munich
  摘要：The functioning of modern societies increasingly depends on secure cyberspace. Given states' lacking capacities to protect this novel domain, governments draw on a variety of third parties for support. Yet, they face a challenge. While imposed control may limit third parties' competence, the abandonment of hierarchical control contradicts the widespread notion of national security. How do states navigate between these functional and national security imperatives to design governance arrangemen...
