摘要：Governance as a word does not travel well between languages. Governance, especially when good is added, becomes a concept that is culturally defined. Governance in practice has fundamentally changed in the last decades. It is also clear that governance in theory and public administration (PA) research are struggling to encompass this evolving practice. Ideally, governance research is rigorous and relevant. In reality, it is sometimes not so rigorous, and also not so relevant. Our challenge for...

摘要：Kidnap for ransom raises significant governance challenges. In the absence of formal regulation and enforcement, insurers have created an effective private governance regime to facilitate smooth commercial resolutions. Controlling ransoms is paramount: supernormal profits for kidnappers create kidnapping booms and undermine the market for insurance. Ransom control requires cooperation, but there are high transactions costs in enforcing a collusive agreement. The Coasean prediction is that a si...

摘要：The study of comparative public policy has changed dramatically in the 30 years since Governance has been in operation, and the journal has played an important role in fostering these shifts. While the next generation will hopefully see continued progress, in this short reflection I want to draw attention to some of the important steps that we have made toward the creation of a truly integrated literature on comparative public policy, in particular as it relates to studies of the policy proces...

摘要：This article addresses the puzzle of electoral support for corrupt politicians in emerging democracies by examining citizens' varying attitudes toward political corruption. We make an important theoretical distinction between perceptions of and tolerance for corruption, and argue that these different attitudes vary across individuals depending on whether they are political insiders or outsiders. We test our theory using Afrobarometer survey data from 18 sub-Saharan African countries and find t...

摘要：How does an authoritarian state govern contentious civil society and what are the effects on grassroots mobilization? This article theorizes the relationship between repression and mobilization by examining the case of informal labor organizations in South China that threaten social stability. Findings based on 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork inside these organizations suggest that the central state's mandate to maintain social stability is refracted through the interests and capabilities ...

摘要：Opportunistic electoral fiscal policy cycle theory suggests that all subnational officials will raise fiscal spending during elections. Ideological partisan fiscal policy cycle theory suggests that only left-leaning governments will raise election year fiscal spending, with right-leaning parties choosing the reverse. This article assesses which of these competing logics applies to debt policy choices. Cross-sectional time-series analysis of yearly loan acquisition across Mexican municipalities...
