• The parliamentary scrutiny of euro area national central banks AI翻译
  作者：Hogenauer, Anna-Lena; Howarth, David

  摘要：European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) involves several core principles for the organization of participating national central banks (NCBs/CBs), including their independence from political institutions. Early studies show that the level of national parliamentary scrutiny over euro area NCBs varied (Lepper and Sterne 2002). In this context, our article examines the extent to which parliaments make use of four distinct control mechanisms to hold CBs accountable. We explain the very different...

• The environmental determinants of diversity management: Competition, collaboration and clients AI翻译

  摘要：Diversity management has received considerable attention in public management research. Most existing research, however, analyses the effects rather than the determinants of diversity management. Using panel data on American hospitals from 2008 to 2011, we probe how market competition, inter-organizational collaboration and clientele diversity affect diversity management adoption. We find that all three environmental factors increase diversity management adoption. Hospitals in competitive mark...
• Leading knowledge mobilization for public value: The case of the congestion charge zone (Area C) in Milan AI翻译

  摘要：The literature on public value creation has grown significantly in recent years. However, how such generation of public value is linked to the interaction between individual and organizational capabilities, and the role played by leadership in such interaction, is still underexplored. This analysis of the congestion charge zone (Area C) implemented by the Municipality of Milan in Italy explores this issue and highlights the role played by the knowledge orchestrator who, by assuming different l...
• Is resilience enough? The macroprudential reform agenda and the lack of smoothing of the cycle AI翻译
  作者：Thiemann, Matthias
  摘要：After the financial crisis, central banks were entrusted with implementing an ambitious macroprudential reform agenda. The goal was arguably twofold: to increase the resilience of the financial system and to lower the amplitudes of the financial cycle. A decade later, the implementation of the agenda is characterized by the pursuit of measures to raise the resilience of the financial system, while tools to smoothen the cycle have been rather sidelined. To explain this difference in implementat...
• A genealogy of EU discourses and practices of deliberative governance: Beyond states and markets? AI翻译
  作者：Parker, Owen
  作者单位：University of Sheffield
  摘要：The article offers a genealogy of 'deliberative governance' in the EU-an important contemporary discourse and practice of 'throughput legitimacy' within that setting. It focuses on three key episodes: the late 1990s 'Governance' reports of the European Commission's in-house think-tank, the Forward Studies Unit (FSU); the Commission's 2001 White Paper on Governance; and the EU's 'Open Method of Coordination', which emerged in the 1990s and was widely studied in the early and mid-2000s. The gene...
• Shared services in Brazilian local government: Urban development in small counties AI翻译
  作者：Silvestre, Hugo Consciencia; Marques, Rui Cunha; Dollery, Brian; Correia, Aldenisio Moraes

  摘要：In this article we break new ground by investigating cooperative agreements in urban development services, which include urban development, housing and sanitation for small local governments in Brazil (i.e., those with fewer than 20,000 residents in 2013-15). We find that public expenditure on urban development can be explained by both horizontal (intermunicipal cooperation) and vertical (public-public partnerships) cooperation. Regarding the impact of public sector cooperation on public expen...
• Between cheap talk and epistocracy: The logic of interest group access in the European Parliament's committee hearings AI翻译
  作者：Coen, David; Katsaitis, Alexander
  作者单位：University of London; University College London; University of Oslo
  摘要：Improving policy deliberation is a central objective for the European Union's institutions. Focusing on the European Parliament's committee hearings as an understudied area of European governance, we aim to understand their role, and their capacity to improve its procedural legitimacy. Building on theoretical work on interest group access and deliberation we argue that hearings can serve three purposes: (i) coordinative; (ii) epistemic; (iii) enhancing public participation. We construct a set ...
• How policy agendas change when autocracies liberalize: The case of Hong Kong, 1975-2016 AI翻译
  作者：Or, Nick H. K.
  作者单位：University of Exeter; University of Southampton
  摘要：This article considers how autocrats decide to expand or narrow the issue diversity of their policy agenda during a period of political liberalization. Prior studies have two competing perspectives. First, political liberalization increases the social and political freedom that enhances information exchange, and thus expands issue diversity. Second, political liberalization decreases government's control of the legislature and thus narrows the issue diversity. This article offers a novel theor...
