摘要：Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have long contract terms, requiring strong governance arrangements. When uncertainty arises, renegotiation is a commonly-used contractual governance mechanism for ensuring fairness and dispute resolution. Notably, 100% of Portuguese road projects have been renegotiated. Prior studies have examined the tensions between the public and private parties which can become acute during times of crisis. One understudied aspect which complicates renegotiations but is i...

摘要：Social equity budgeting has gained increasing attention, yet research has largely focused on expenditures while neglecting revenue equity. This study contributes to the literature by examining the relationships between minority population size and local governments' reliance on exploitative revenues, and whether minority political representation moderates this relationship. Drawing on racial threat and political representation theories, we analyze data from 66 Florida counties between 2011 and...

摘要：This study examines multi-actor collaboration in resolving community conflicts in the Chinese context, with a focus on the concept of nodality in Hood's NATO framework. Drawing from 75 community cases, it employs social network analysis and the BERTopic model to uncover pivotal insights. The findings reveal the primary conflict themes to be disputes rooted in intrafamilial issues and marital relations; neighborhood tensions; labor rights; and natural resource allocation. The escalation of such...

摘要：Despite extensive research investigating the link between government performance and citizen satisfaction, our understanding is limited regarding whether and how information disclosure affects this relationship in the digital era. This study bridges this gap by examining the interactive effects of information disclosure and performance information on citizen satisfaction. We argue that information disclosure strengthens the performance-satisfaction link by aligning citizens' satisfaction evalu...

摘要：To what extent does regulatory agencies' failure to protect the public from harm result from undue industry influence? We argue that regulatory capture is invoked too easily to explain regulatory failure. To re-examine the relationship between regulatory capture and regulatory failure, we use process-tracing to study UK regulatory decision-making about payment protection insurance (PPI), a product synonymous with one of the largest financial mis-selling scandals of all time. We analyze the cas...

摘要：Governments employ public deliberation in response to citizen discontent, intending to achieve consensus, mutual understanding, and clarification. However, some studies suggest that deliberation can devolve into a dialogue of the deaf, where parties talk past each other, counterproductively leading to conflict, distrust, and confusion. Remarkably, there is limited theoretical and empirical research on how deliberation leads to such adverse outcomes. To explore this, the study examines a Dutch ...

摘要：This manuscript replicates and extends the work of Alonso et al. focusing on the effects of New Public Management practices-outsourcing and decentralization-on public sector size in terms of government expenditure and employment. The narrow replication confirms the original findings: outsourcing increases government expenditure, whereas decentralization reduces it, with neither practice affecting employment. The wide replications add nuances: while the long-term results align with the original...

摘要：The novelty of this study is its focus on reversing government reforms, a topic that has received little attention in the literature. It focuses on what characterizes the reversal processes with respect to their driving forces and results. Empirically, the study addresses attempts at reversing four administrative reforms in Norway in the period 2021-2024: The municipal reform, the county reform, the police reform, and the court reform, which were implemented in the period 2015-2020. A main con...

摘要：This study investigates how organizations in collaborative networks in the United States address racial inequality in homelessness through cultural competence continuum and actionable initiatives. Conducting a content analysis, we deductively and inductively code the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) funding applications to identify the cultural competency of actions for homelessness taken by CoCs. CoCs most frequently take actions related to data and t...
