摘要：Integrity management systems (IMSs) are increasingly promoted to embed ethical conduct, mitigate corruption risks, and strengthen organizational accountability. Yet empirical evidence on their effectiveness remains sparse and contradictory, offering little insight into how these systems operate in practice and why they often fail in heavily formalized organizational settings. This paper addresses that gap by developing a meso-level framework for diagnosing systemic imbalances in IMSs. Drawing ...

摘要：This article challenges the assumption that legal harmonization within the European Union ensures effective anti-corruption governance. Despite EU-compliant frameworks, institutional integrity remains highly uneven across subnational territories. We introduce the Regional Integrity Framework (RIF), a diagnostic approach that integrates citizen perceptions, procurement indicators, and enforcement activation measures to capture regional integrity performance. The analysis suggests that formal co...

摘要：Over the past two decades, political parties have undertaken a series of intra-party reforms aimed at reinforcing ethical standards and restoring public confidence. These regulatory developments have been insufficiently studied and remain a blind spot in the literature. The purpose of this article is to explain, drawing on existing theories of regulation, not only why political parties engage in ethics self-regulation, but also why the robustness of party ethics self-regulation (PESR) varies a...

摘要：What motivates US-based environmental nongovernmental organizations (ENGOs) to incorporate social justice (SJ) into their missions and activities? How does this integration occur? ENGOs could integrate SJ issues that speak directly to their environmental mission or address non-environmental topics, such as police reform. Their integration might also be symbolic or substantive. We hypothesize that ENGOs' risk/reward calculations, derived from their organizational characteristics, influenced whe...

摘要：This article develops an analytical framework for understanding regulators' struggles for legitimacy, highlighting tensions between two key sources: credibility and responsiveness. A regulator must earn credibility with actors around the regulatory arena, but organizational tools for credibility-building, including codified rules and mobilized expertise, create path dependence that limits subsequent responsiveness to public pressure. This self-constraining mechanism generates a legitimacy trap...

摘要：Mediator discretion in community mediation is inevitable yet often invisible, which can obscure legitimacy, accountability, and bias in publicly funded or state-adjacent settings. This conceptual design paper uses integrative synthesis, drawing on street-level bureaucracy, procedural justice, and dispute system design, to derive a practice-ready and auditable way to govern within-session discretionary process moves without disrupting conversational flow or capturing confidential narratives. I ...

摘要：Transnational private institutions (TPIs) operate at the intersection of technocratic efficiency and democratic accountability, raising important questions about when and why they adopt particular legitimation strategies. This study theorizes and empirically examines the role of regulatory issue area as an explanatory variable by analyzing the legitimation strategies of a prominent TPI: the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which presents a unique case due to its expansion ...

摘要：The present study examines diversity in corporate offending. Corporations can be diverse or rather specialized in their pattern of rule violating behavior. Offending diversity (or crime mix) constitutes an important dimension of the criminal career and different theories of offending lead to different predictions with regard to the extent of offending diversity expected. Though a bourgeoning literature has begun to view corporate offending through a criminal career lens, extant studies tend to...

摘要：States, firms, and other types of governors routinely rely on intermediaries to govern issues on their behalf. Such indirect governance drives regime complexity: governors frequently enlist multiple intermediaries for governing an issue. I theorize that governors foster complexity to maximize utility from indirect governance. When governors enlist intermediaries, they face the governor's dilemma: a tradeoff between the competence they can obtain and the control they can exert, I identify two s...
