摘要：In this article, the authors address the recent trajectory of local e-government in the United States and compare it with the predictions of early e-government writings, using empirical data from two nationwide surveys of e-government among American local governments. The authors find that local e-government has not produced the results that those writings predicted. Instead, its development has largely been incremental, and local e-government is mainly about delivering information and service...

摘要：This article contributes to the growing body of literature on government transparency by developing a model for studying the construction of transparency in interactions between governments and stakeholders. Building on theories about complex decision making, a heuristic model is developed that consists of a strategic, a cognitive, and an institutional perspective. To test the model's value, it is applied to two empirical cases: Dutch schools and the Council of the European Union. Applying the...

摘要：Studies of representative bureaucracy argue that public administrators hold attitudes that are generally representative of the public and will implement policy in accordance with those attitudes. However, studies of representative bureaucracy generally have not considered the partisanship of local administrators.

The authors mount an empirical study to test this assumption using data taken from English local government authorities. Personnel constraints are operationalized using Rainey's long-standing measures of the concept. Statistical results from multiple regression analyses indicate that difficulty in removing poor m...

摘要：This Perspective explains why implementation analysis of the cost control provisions within the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is not particularly useful. These provisions are either relatively straightforward or, more commonly, so flawed that successful implementation is highly unlikely. The analysis shows that effective and equitable cost control will require coordinating payers to create all-payer fee setting. This poses significant challenges but has been implemented relatively...

摘要：America is a nation of movers, and this has implications for public and nonprofit managers who rely on donations and volunteers to increase the capacity of nonprofits and to strengthen local communities. This article explores the impact of time and place on philanthropic engagement, focusing on how three aspects of community-sense of belonging, social connections, and regional culture-are related to volunteering and giving to local organizations. The authors find that geographic mobility affec...
