摘要：Drawing on an extension of Valerie Braithwaite's motivational postures theory (MPT), this study provides a nuanced examination of the implementation of restorative justice (RJ) by Chinese legal professionals, including police, prosecutors, and judges. Based on qualitative data from China, the study finds that the interaction among three different selves (moral, professional, and status-seeking) determines the social distance legal professionals maintain from the various RJ programs they implem...

摘要：Whistleblowing in private and public sector organizations has gained momentum in the last decade. Most theories seeking to explain why some employees report wrongdoings largely disregard the interaction between the cognitive and emotional components of this decision. Our article addresses this gap in the literature and proposes a theoretical model that was initially developed in cognitive psychology and accounts for such an interaction. We explore empirically its relevance in the case of priva...

摘要：This study investigates the impact of selective good corporate governance practices on the development of mandatory whistleblower protection policies in corporations. Using a coding instrument aligned with legislative requirements, we analyzed 66 whistleblower policies to assess their comprehensiveness and alignment with best practices. The findings reveal that, except for executive gender diversity, most good governance practices do not significantly contribute to the development of comprehen...

摘要：Why do states vary in their compliance with international anti-corruption recommendations? Research often treats the state as a unitary actor and explains variation at country-level. This article challenges that assumption by examining variation in compliance across institutional sectors within countries. Using original data from the Council of Europe's Group of States against Corruption (GRECO), the analysis shows a clear sectoral pattern. Recommendations addressed to prosecutors are implemen...

摘要：Over the past decade, the better regulation agenda has emerged as a powerful instrument for enhancing the law-making process across the EU. This paper empirically investigates Greece's adherence to better regulation principles, focusing on key aspects such as the regulatory text, public consultation processes, impact assessments, parliamentary procedures, and the activation of subordinate legislation. Utilizing a novel dataset spanning from 2015 to 2023, this study analyzes the developments in...

摘要：Over the past few decades, trust has emerged as a cornerstone of regulatory governance scholarship. Yet, despite a rise in regulatory crises and growing institutional contestation, we still know surprisingly little about how trust can be repaired once shattered. This article addresses this gap by developing a general analytical framework for regulatory trust repair, adapting insights from management scholarship to the context of regulation. The framework is then systematically tested through t...

摘要：Critics of private regulation argue that voluntary standards often fail to meaningfully improve corporate conduct while simultaneously functioning as a stumbling block that prevents the development of more stringent, mandatory regulation by states. This paper complicates this view by illustrating the instrumental value of private regulation-that is, its potential to act as a building block that facilitates the development of new government regulation that serves the public interest. Through a ...

摘要：Wage theft remains a pervasive problem internationally and within the United States. In response, worker advocates have sought stronger laws to deter violations and promote compliance. Yet formal authority alone may be insufficient; labor departments often fail to use the full extent of their legal authority to conduct vigorous enforcement. This raises two empirical questions: to what extent do agencies deploy available enforcement tools, and with what consequences? Drawing on a novel survey o...

摘要：Public investments in childcare generally improve parents' employment chances, yet evidence on their magnitude, cross-national variation, and social distribution remains mixed. This study examines how public spending on early childhood education and care (ECEC) moderates post-childbirth employment attachment across Europe. Using longitudinal EU-SILC microdata for 26 countries (2003-2020) combined with social policy indicators, multilevel mixed-effects models trace within-person employment chan...

摘要：Polycentric governance is a trust-intensive and trust-dependent governance that should actively seek to build and restore trust. The different ways in which this is done are poorly understood. Our study of the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies and the green transition clarifies the role of enhanced self-regulation and intermediaries in trust-building and trust-repair in polycentric governance. ESG rating providers as intermediaries may help to build and repair trust, but a...
