• Interest groups and policy volatility AI翻译

  摘要：We offer a model of how interest groups affect policy stability. The relationship between interest group density and policy volatility is concave because of two forces: (a) the number and interaction of interest groups in a policy domain and (b) the effect of this interaction on policy image and attention. After laying out the logics of both processes, we identify three ideal type situations: (a) capture (low interest group density, low attention) and (b) deadlock (high interest group density,...

  摘要：China's party-controlled elite appointment system has been praised for contributing to growth and order in recent decades. Inspired by Mancur Olson's insight into elite incentives and governance, we examine how the Chinese practices of elite management affect the character of governance using unique survey and interview data on township leaders and social contention. We find that, first, externally appointed party secretaries experience more petitions and mass incidents during their tenure and...

• Enhancing democracy via bureaucracy: Senior managers' social identities and motivation for policy change AI翻译

  摘要：This article challenges the depiction of bureaucracy as a hurdle to democratic responsiveness. It proposes that senior civil servants' (SCSs) dual position as professionals and citizens may enhance government permeability to salient public agendas. Building on social identity theory, we argue that salient public agendas may arouse SCSs' social identification with in-groups and thereby elicit their motivation for policy change within their task domain. Employing a mixed-methods design, we analy...
• Elite strategies and incremental policy change: The expansion of primary education in India AI翻译
  作者：Mangla, Akshay
  作者单位：Harvard University
  摘要：This article analyzes India's recent enactment of universal primary education. This programmatic policy change is puzzling given the clientelistic features of Indian democracy. Drawing on interviews and official documents, I demonstrate the catalytic role of committed state elites, who introduced incremental reforms over three decades. These officials operated beneath the political radar, layering small-scale initiatives on top of the mainstream school system. Following India's globalization i...
• Serving many masters: Public accountability in private policy implementation AI翻译

  摘要：In recent decades, the introduction of market principles has transformed public service delivery into a hybrid. However, little is known about how these changes are reflected in the attitudes of private implementing agents: The hybridization literature neglects individuals, and street-level bureaucracy research has disregarded hybridization. This article extends Hupe and Hill's () accountability regimes framework to introduce the market as an additional accountability regime alongside state, p...
• The power of policy networks in authoritarian regimes: Changing environmental policy in China AI翻译
  作者：Teets, Jessica
  作者单位：Middlebury College
  摘要：In this article, I examine how civil society organizations (CSOs) in China created policy networks among government officials to change environmental policies. I contend that these networks work in similar ways to those in democracies, despite the focus in the literature on how policymaking in authoritarian regimes lacks societal participation. China adopted strict regulations to control CSOs by requiring registration with a supervisory agency. However, CSOs exploit the regulations to use the ...

• Citizen satisfaction under changing political leadership: The role of partisan motivated reasoning AI翻译

  摘要：There exists a gap in our understanding of what citizen satisfaction evaluations actually represent. While recent years have witnessed a move away from performance-based models to cognitive-implicit models of citizen satisfaction, the inherent political nature of government, its institutions, and services has been largely ignored. Drawing on the functional responsibility chain between political principals and governmental, public-service-delivering institutions, we outline a theory of citizen ...
• Grappling with the real politics of systemic corruption: Theoretical debates versus real-world functions AI翻译
  作者：Marquette, Heather; Peiffer, Caryn
  作者单位：University of Birmingham; University of Bristol
  摘要：A growing body of research argues that anticorruption efforts fail because of a flawed theoretical foundation, where collective action theory is said to be a better lens for understanding corruption than the dominant principal-agent theory. We unpack this critique and advance several new arguments. First, the application of collective action theory to the issue of corruption has been, thus far, incomplete. Second, a collective action theory-based approach to corruption is in fact complementary...
