  摘要：Governmental systems are deeply inscribed by processes of path dependence and lock-ins, yet they are also required to play a central role in both policy reform and institutional transformation. This paper offers an account of governance networks and posits a solution to the traditional problem of dynamic inertia in governmental institutions and thus provides the foundations for a theory of transformation. By first identifying network governance as a typology of institutional ensembles, the pap...

The paper shows that political structural changes have created greater opportunities for eNGOs' policy advocacy, and eNGOs with better financial resources and connections to the party-state system are more capable of...

  摘要：This article evaluates the rapid escalation of American household debt in relation to the changing dynamics of liberal welfare capitalism. Starting with the outcome of rising household debt levels during the credit and asset bubble of 2001-7 it argues that the failure of asset-based welfare and the inability of households to move beyond their historical dependence on earned income made indebtedness essential to household social participation and protection. It examines the unique relationship ...
• PUBLIC ENCOUNTERS: THE HISTORY AND FUTURE OF FACE-TO-FACE CONTACT BETWEEN PUBLIC PROFESSIONALS AND CITIZENS AI翻译

  摘要：Public encounters, face-to-face contact between public professionals and citizens, was first identified as a key issue in public administration 80 years ago, but never developed into a subject area of its own. Although receiving attention in research on street-level bureaucrats' contact with customers, clients, and citizens, the concept of public encounters is hardly used. However, it has great potential to overcome current limitations in understanding how public encounters can enhance the qua...

  摘要：The competitive dialogue (CD) procurement procedure aims to structure and facilitate public-private interaction in procurement. In this article we examine the CD procedures of four complex Dutch road infrastructure projects and explore how the mix in public-private interaction between the three governance strategies of cooperation, competition, and coordination is conditioned by various external influences. We found that public authorities' strict legal coordination can structure the CD proces...

  摘要：Performance audit is widely used in public administration, but, at present, little empirical evidence exists on its usefulness and contribution to accountability. Based on survey data from 353 civil servants in Norway, this article analyzes the auditees' perceptions of the audit. Performance audit was seen as useful by a majority of the auditees. If auditees agreed to audit criteria and assessments, were allowed to influence the process, had favourable opinions of the reports, and believed tha...
