摘要:In various regulatory settings, firms receive feedback (i.e., firm-specific private advice) from authorities on how to improve compliance. Although the literature sheds light on the authorities' decision of when to provide feedback, less is known about firms' decisions on how to respond. Building on research on compliance and regulation, we expect a higher level of responsiveness to feedback when the financial capacity to cover short-term costs is higher (as this allows firms to allocate resou...

摘要:COVID-19 amplified the issue of public resistance to government vaccination programs. Little attention has focused on people's moral reasons for noncompliance, which differ from-but often build upon-the epistemic claims they make about vaccine safety and efficacy, disease severity, and the trustworthiness of government. This study explores the drivers of noncompliance with the COVID-19 vaccination program in Western Australia, using in-depth interviews with refusers. Distrust in the government...

摘要:Given the ongoing climate crisis, the frequency and severity of natural disasters are increasing. These events result in enormous reconstruction costs, pose a high burden on state budgets, and potentially drive homeowners into private insolvency. One policy instrument for collectively covering such costs is a compulsory insurance scheme for natural hazards. As the impact of natural disasters is uneven, introducing mandatory insurance regulation has a range of social and financial implications....

摘要:Canada is under growing pressure to adopt mandatory supply chain due diligence legislation to hold corporations accountable for environmental and social harms embedded in global supply chains. In response, the Government of Canada is exploring policy options for stricter supply chain regulations, including legislative measures such as the recently passed Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (Bill S-211). We assess the Canadian coffee sector's capacity to comply ...

摘要:Societies are grappling with uncertainty about how to adapt to the emerging knowledge economy. Drawing on the public policy literature, we propose a new approach to studying the politics of ideas during long-term structural changes. We depart from existing scholarship that focuses on the politics of ideas during episodic crises, and instead focus on ideas that develop gradually in the context of slow-burning crises, using the example of the knowledge economy. In slow-burning crises, the proces...

摘要:The ecosocial policy integration, required to address the intertwined social and ecological challenges of climate change, has been central to the European Union's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), which was launched to tackle the social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic while simultaneously supporting the green and digital transitions outlined in the European Green Deal. Drawing on the growing eco-welfare debate, our contribution first examines how the 27 national plans imple...

摘要:The global governance of outer space relies heavily on international agreements, yet the institutional forms of these agreements remain underexplored. This article introduces a new dataset on various design features of 952 space agreements, offering the first large-N overview of institutional design in space governance. Building on rational design theory, this article analyzes how these design features interact with one another and with negotiation structures. Our results reveal systematic tra...

摘要:The involvement of societal interests in the making of (statutory) legislation and regulation is an essential part of democratic governance and regulatory development. Thus, it comes as no surprise that the topic has been explored from various angles across the academic landscape. This systematic literature review explores the analytical dimensions and explanatory factors of interest group involvement in policy- and rulemaking processes. Drawing on 48 studies identified through the PRISMA stat...

摘要:Which candidates benefit from corruption and favoritism in public procurement? While existing studies show that politically connected firms profit from corruption risks in public procurement, we know less about whether these risks also increase the prevalence of political candidates with ties to business. This study suggests that pre-election corruption risks increase the prevalence of candidates with business ties, but that this relationship is highly contextual. Candidates with business ties...

摘要:Involvement of corporations in international crimes and conflict atrocities, such as crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide, are neither isolated events nor uncommon. Importantly, corporate involvement in atrocity crimes is shaped by conditions in zones of legal risk (International Commission of Jurists), where gross human rights violations, atrocity crimes and extreme violence are pervasive. In this context, corporations become complicit in the most serious state crimes. The empiric...
