  摘要：Public corporations have been constantly in the spotlight, with some commentators arguing that they can help governments provide better public services, and others insisting that their governance is simply too complex. Despite this ongoing debate, few studies have researched public corporation performance. The present study offers empirical evidence of the effects of various forms of corporatization on public service costs. In particular, it examines public service costs incurred under four di...

  摘要：Recent health care reforms in England, combined with financial austerity, have accelerated both corporatization and commercialization in the English National Health Service (NHS) and this has encouraged greater public sector entrepreneurialism (PSE). We advance this argument by examining the meaning and experience of corporatization in this sector, illustrating our argument with qualitative data from a specialist hospital at the forefront of this trend. We demonstrate how the policy and practi...
• Dissecting multiple accountabilities: A problem of multiple forums or of conflicting demands? AI翻译

  摘要：The necessity for public sector actors to manage multiple accountabilities in their work has been linked to a number of problems and failures, yet we lack an understanding of how multiple accountabilities affect the decision-making behavior of civil servants. Here we argue that the main issue is not only the existence of multiple forums as such but the presence of conflicting demands between multiple forums or within a single forum. Drawing on sociopsychological research, we develop hypotheses...
• From business-like to businesses: Agencification, corporatization, and civil service reform under the Thatcher administration AI翻译

  摘要：This paper sets out an archival account of events leading up to the mass agencification of the British civil service by the Thatcher administration (1979-1990). This account holds lessons for contemporary understandings of the ideological roots and institutional structures of corporatization. When Thatcher came to power in 1979, she wanted to make government efficient through the adoption of business-like practices. We show that this project was grounded in her Methodist upbringing and the eme...

• Neoliberalism and banking crisis bailouts: Distant enemies or warring neighbors? AI翻译

  摘要：How should we understand proliferating government bailouts of financial firms in successive crises since the 1970s and the rise of neoliberal norms opposing such discretionary public assistance? We argue that the relationship between bailouts and neoliberalism is one of mutually reinforcing coexistence. First, a new bailout coalition including much of the middle class has emerged in many countries over the past century, pushing governments to deliver extensive bailouts in crises. Second, many ...
• Burdens, Sludge, Ordeals, Red tape, Oh My!: A User's Guide to the Study of Frictions AI翻译
  作者：Madsen, Jonas K.; Mikkelsen, Kim S.; Moynihan, Donald P.
  作者单位：Roskilde University; Georgetown University
  摘要：Recent years have seen a dramatic growth in the study of frictions that individuals experience, especially in their interactions with the public sector, creating both the potential for new research opportunities and conceptual confusion. We seek to head off the latter by providing, in one place, a definition, description of the development, and comparison of four dominant conceptions of frictions: ordeal mechanisms, red tape, administrative burden, and sludge. In particular, we discuss the fou...

  摘要：The representative bureaucracy literature focuses on how passive representation translates into substantive benefits for the represented individuals. Although scholars have found substantial empirical support for representation based on gender, most studies have examined the United States, a country with high levels of democracy and gender equality compared to much of the rest of the world. This article first investigates whether the effects of gender representation differ across countries usi...
