  摘要：European economic integration creates unintended consequences for national public administrations. This article offers a conceptual and empirical analysis of how these challenges are met. First, three challenges are identified: a reduced capacity to offer services to citizens who move freely, increasing administrative burdens, and negative externalities for all parts from a single states' administrative failure. Second, a conceptual framework is developed that links each challenge to a most li...
• The power of process: State capacity and climate policy AI翻译

  摘要：State capacity is central to the provision of public goods, including environmental protection. Drawing on climate policy making, this article argues that the division of labor between the bureaucracy and legislature in policy formulation is a critical source of state capacity. In cases of bureaucratic policy design, the legislature sets policy goals and delegates policy design to bureaucracies. This division of labor shifts distributional conflict to autonomous bureaucracies, allowing for eff...

  摘要：Transparency guarantees in Mexico presented a serious challenge to its 2007-2012 war on drugs. We use an original database of access to information requests, including both petitions for information and appeals to IFAI. We conduct statistical tests on the databases, finding that transparency is lower on security issues, as expected, but that there are unexpected variations between security agencies, and over time. We then conduct a content analysis of freedom of information requests to determi...
• Gender, actors, and institutions at the local level: Explaining variation in policies to address violence against women and girls AI翻译

  摘要：Research on gender equality policy has generally focused on actors and institutions at the national and international levels. This article considers the role of local-level actors and institutions in explaining different policy responses to violence against women and girls (VAWG). The literature on gender policy trajectories identifies the particular importance of executive actors in influencing status policies like VAWG. Quantitative data are analyzed to show how local Police and Crime Commis...

• Distance, services, and citizen perceptions of the state in rural Africa AI翻译

  摘要：In most poor countries, basic services in rural areas are less accessible and of lower quality than those in urban settings. In this article, we investigate the subnational geography of service delivery and its relationship with citizens' perceptions of their government by analyzing the relationship between service access, satisfaction with services and government, and the distance to urban centers for more than 21,000 survey respondents across 17 African countries. We confirm that access to s...
• When do middlemen matter? Evidence from variation in corruption in India AI翻译
  作者：Bussell, Jennifer
  作者单位：University of California System; University of California Berkeley
  摘要：Corruption is a persistent problem in developing countries, and recent scholarship suggests that middlemen play an important role in corrupt acts. Yet, while intermediaries can reduce transaction costs in illicit exchange, they also increase agency costs and reduce benefits to others. The involvement of middlemen may thus vary. I argue that middlemen are most likely to engage in, and benefit from, the subset of corruption transactions that are repeated frequently, but not by the same parties. ...
• The balancing act of establishing a policy agenda: Conceptualizing and measuring drivers of issue prioritization within interest groups AI翻译

  摘要：Interest groups are important intermediaries in Western democracies, with the potential to offer political linkage and form a bridge between the concerns of citizens and the agendas of political elites. While we know an increasing amount about the issue-based activity of groups, we only have a limited understanding about how they selected these issues to work on. In this article, we examine the process of agenda setting within groups. In particular, we address challenges of conceptualization a...
• Varieties of accountability: How attributes of policy fields shape parliamentary oversight AI翻译
  作者：Bundi, Pirmin
  作者单位：University of Zurich
  摘要：This article demonstrates how attributes of policy fields shape parliamentary oversight across policy fields. Building on the accountability literature, the study develops the argument that parliamentarians will more likely oversee policy fields where cooperative forms of governance are more present, since these policies are more difficult to assess and have a higher need of legitimation. Using the example of policy evaluation demand by members of parliament in Switzerland, the study suggests ...
