  作者：Moynihan, Donald P.

  摘要：This article draws upon studies of organizational culture and sense-making to develop a theory of culture-switching. Culture-switching occurs when organizational actors shift emphasis from one existing organizational cultural assumption to another to reshape organizational action. The concept is demonstrated in a case study of the Hurricane Katrina response by the US Department of Defense (DOD). A slow initial DOD response arose because of self-imposed red-tape designed to limit engagement in ...
• IMPLEMENTING PERFORMANCE-BASED FUNDING FOR HEALTH RESEARCH: WHEN GOVERNANCE AND PROCEDURAL FAIRNESS MATTER AI翻译
  作者：Compagni, Amelia; Tediosi, Fabrizio
  作者单位：Bocconi University
  摘要：The article examines the implementation by the Italian Ministry of Health of performance-based funding to allocate resources for research to IRCCS (Istituti di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico) hospitals. The analysis provides evidence that ten years from its introduction the performance-based funding system has persisted, but it has been implemented rather differently from what had been imagined by its proponents. By drawing on the theoretical frameworks of policy implementation, agenc...
• OPEN HOUSE? FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AND ITS IMPACT ON THE UK PARLIAMENT AI翻译
  作者：Hazell, Robert; Bourke, Gabrielle; Worthy, Benjamin

  摘要：Not all parliaments are subject to Freedom of Information (FOI), and no one has studied what difference it makes to the working of a parliament. This article evaluates the impact of FOI on the UK Parliament by reference to its main objectives. It finds that FOI has made Westminster slightly more open and accountable; but it has not increased public understanding, participation, or trust. Westminster was already very open and other initiatives have helped increase participation. Trust was badly...
• MECHANISMS AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION REFORM: ITALIAN CASES OF BETTER REGULATION AND DIGITALIZATION AI翻译
  作者：Natalini, Alessandro; Stolfi, Francesco
  作者单位：Parthenope University Naples; University of Essex
  摘要：This article applies a processual approach to the explanation of administrative reform in Italy over fifteen years. By carrying out a comparison between better regulation and digitalization policies it shows that the oscillation in the level of implementation over time and across policies can be explained by the intensity and direction of spillover and certification mechanisms and that in turn these mechanisms are activated by design features and contextual factors at different levels of analy...
• THE FRENCH STATE AND ITS TERRITORIAL CHALLENGES AI翻译
  作者：Cole, Alistair
  作者单位：Cardiff University
  摘要：This article focuses upon the territorial challenges to the French state.

Introducing new evidence based on interviews with high ranking officials, politicians and representatives of territorial policy communities in 2010, the main body of the article focuses upon the two main territorial reforms of the Sarkozy presidency, the reform of the territorial state, and the lo...
• TRANSACTIONS COSTS IN RURAL DECISION-MAKING: THE CASES OF FUNDING AND MONITORING IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN ENGLAND AI翻译
  作者：Curry, Nigel Russell

Grouping transactions costs into four organizations, belief systems, knowledge and information, and institutions two of the latter are evaluated empirically: growth in the bid culture, and monitoring and evaluation. Amongst 65 A...

  作者：Eriksson, Kai
  作者单位：University of Helsinki; University of Helsinki
  摘要：The purpose of this paper is to identify participative politics' and what is here called self-service politics' as distinct political themes in many advanced democracies, in order to investigate their main elements and chart their interrelationships. These two themes are examined from the viewpoint of politicization and depoliticization tendencies. Participative politics consists of three main forms, defined as active citizenship, citizen networks and co-production. Self-service politics, in t...
