• Strategies for dealing with policy ambiguities AI翻译
  作者：Fowler, Luke
  作者单位：Boise State University
  摘要：Ambiguities often weave through policies, leading to conflict and confusion over the intents and purpose of said policy and how it may manifest in any specific instance. Given that policy management is a core function for most public service agencies, the challenges here are almost universally experienced as public servants balance the political, legal, and technical requirements of policies against their functionality in practice. To this end, the authors use a grounded theory approach to ide...
• Integrating citizen deliberation into climate governance: Lessons on robust design from six climate assemblies AI翻译

  摘要：Recent years have seen a wave of national climate assemblies, which bring together randomly-selected citizens to deliberate and make recommendations on aspects of the climate crisis. Assessments of the legitimacy of these interventions and their capacity to improve climate governance have focused on their internal design characteristics, but the fundamental question of how they are integrated into complex constellations of political and policy institutions is underexplored. This article constr...

• Citizen involvement in public policy: Does it matter how much is at stake? AI翻译

  摘要：Public administrations increasingly try to find new ways to involve citizens in policy-making. However, many democratic innovations draw in only a fraction of the public. Why? I hypothesize that we observe such low participation rates because there is often not enough at stake for citizens. I test this with a preregistered survey experiment on citizens' intentions to participate in participatory budgets in the Netherlands. I fielded the experiment among a sample of citizens that had just exper...
• Thinking outside the box, improvisation, and fast learning: Designing policy robustness to deal with what cannot be foreseen AI翻译
  作者：Capano, Giliberto; Toth, Federico
  作者单位：University of Bologna
  摘要：Policies are continually subjected to turbulence and crises. Interest in policy robustness as a fundamental way to deal with what cannot be foreseen is increasing. Thus, there is a flourishing stream of literature suggesting that policies need to be designed to be agile and flexible. However, the associated characteristics remain undeveloped. This article fills this gap by drawing on lessons obtained from the unplanned behaviors that were adopted in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ind...
• Citizen participation matters. Bureaucratic discretion matters more AI翻译

  摘要：New Public Governance theory increases citizen participation and expands bureaucrats' roles in the work of government. Citizen participation creates new mechanisms for citizens to influence the policy process. Bureaucrats' expanded roles allow for broader bureaucratic discretion over policy implementation. When citizens' and bureaucrats' views on public management decisions collide, whose views prevail? Do citizen volunteers or bureaucrats have greater influence over public decisions? We answe...
• Contextual recipes for adopting private control and trust in public-private partnership governance AI翻译

  摘要：In governing public-private partnerships (PPPs), transferring control rights to the private sectors and building trust among partners are recognized as solutions to improve efficiency and adaptability. However, what contexts would fit into the adoption of these solutions remains unclear. Building on the relevant literature on project attributes and project environments, this article divides the context into several crucial factors: asset specificity, project publicness, institutional completen...
• Cream-skimming at the frontline: The role of administrative literacy AI翻译
  作者：Doring, Matthias; Jilke, Sebastian
  作者单位：University of Southern Denmark; Georgetown University
  摘要：The notion of cream-skimming-defined as the propensity to prioritize clients who have a higher likelihood of meeting bureaucratic success criteria, including organizational goals-is at the heart of street-level bureaucracies. However, there is often no direct information available to street-level bureaucrats whether clients will actually meet bureaucratic success criteria. This study argues that street-level bureaucrats assess clients' potential to reach these criteria via their administrative...
• Street-level bureaucrats' emotional intelligence and its relation with their performance AI翻译

  摘要：This article analyses whether the emotional intelligence (EI) of street-level bureaucrats, in this case inspectors, predicts their individual performance. It explores whether EI predicts the aggression that inspectors face and whether this explains the relation between EI and performance. Our survey among 547 inspectors, measuring their (self) perceptions, shows that inspectors' ability to appraise others' emotions and use their emotions intelligently (i.e., motivating themselves and maintaini...
• The effect of institutional support and relational capital on knowledge mobilization in public administration research AI翻译

  摘要：Knowledge mobilization (KMb) takes a programmatic approach to empower and motivate scholars to connect research with policy-making through disseminating research to knowledge users, acquiring information from practitioners, and responding to the acquired information. The present study aims to investigate the influence of institutional-level factors on researchers' KMb activities. One hundred fifty-five researchers in the field of public administration across China participated in an online sur...
