  摘要：Countries can and sometimes do copy the institutions and practices of other countries in order to address problems and issues that they have in common with them. The office of directly elected mayor has become an increasingly common feature of local government throughout the developed democracies, spreading from its largely American origins to a range of European states. This paper develops a matrix for the analysis of elected mayors in different countries using as its horizontal axis the form...
• Tracing the national mandate: administrative Europeanization made in Denmark AI翻译
  作者：Esmark, Anders
  作者单位：Roskilde University
  摘要：The article analyses the Europeanization of the Danish national administration. The article offers a revision of the standard image of Danish adaptation to EU membership as being highly centralized and formalized. Rather, the Danish experience involves substantial polity change in terms of new institutions and procedures as well as a change in the overall approach to the EU. Whereas the initial response to membership favoured a strategy for polity adaptation based on centralization - vertical ...

Through an analysis of a workplace diary spanning five years, interviews and non-participation observation notes, the arti...
• Perfect victims, perfect policing? Improving rape complainants' experiences of police investigations AI翻译
  作者：Jordan, Jan
  作者单位：Victoria University Wellington
  摘要：Despite recent reforms internationally, significant criticism has been levelled at police departments regarding their service delivery to crime victims, and particularly for the disbelieving and insensitive attitudes officers may display towards women reporting rape and sexual assault. Police responses are frequently influenced by negative judgements regarding the victim's dress, behaviour, and demeanour. These are flawed and 'imperfect' women - what right have they to expect 'perfect' treatme...

Specifically, we evaluate the introduction of a knowledge management system, namely the National Reporting and Learning System (NRSL) and its impact in the area of opera...

  作者：Reeves, Eoin
  作者单位：University of Limerick
  摘要：This paper explores the practice of contracting in public private partnerships (PPP). Focusing on the first Irish PPP to provide secondary schools, it draws on perspectives from transaction cost economics and socio-legal theory. It finds that the ex ante contractual setting was undermined by pushing forward with the PPP before conducting an adequate level of project appraisal. It explores the experiences of key stakeholders in the ex post contracting stage and concludes that the conduct of con...
• Individualization and public sector leadership AI翻译
  作者：Lawler, John
  作者单位：University of Bradford
  摘要：This is a conceptual paper whose aim is to relate the development of 'individualization' (Beck and Beck-Gernsheim 2002) to organizational leadership. It does this by examining individualization alongside the implicit assumption on which orthodox approaches to leadership are founded, namely that leadership is an individualized phenomenon. Despite the expanding literature on these topics, particularly that on leadership, these concepts have not been examined in relation to one another. This pape...
