摘要：Accountability infrastructures' spread may give the impression that organizations are embracing accountability. Yet accountability professionals continue to encounter defensive reactions from those they are holding accountable. How do they navigate these reactions? Looking at the case of professionals in independent accountability mechanisms-grievance mechanisms at development finance institutions-this article identifies one approach: normalizing defensive reactions. Normalization is an emotio...

摘要：The regulation of business is increasingly characterized by soft governance regimes that blur the boundaries of public and private authority, as signaled by the rapid proliferation of multistakeholder initiatives in global governance. This article explores how the spread of multistakeholderism creates opportunities for new forms of strategic action, enabling actors to participate in multiple fora, successively or simultaneously in order to pursue a particular agenda. The article focuses on mul...

摘要：Regulation can influence economic dynamism, the distribution of income, and various measures of economic welfare. Despite a substantial proportion of regulation in the United States originating at the state level, we are not aware of any comprehensive measure of excess regulation or red tape at the state level. We fill this notable gap by constructing a novel measure of state-level red tape based on the State RegData dataset. The red tape index measures the excess stringency of regulation in e...

Previous studies have evaluated government transparency and FOI compliance based on the proactive release of information and governments' responses to citizens' requests. This study extends prior research by focusing on regulatory compliance mechanisms in German public organizations. Specifically, it investigates how these organization...

摘要：Education equips individuals with valuable skills to protect them against employment risks associated with the digital transition. As scholars debate whether vocational education and training (VET) or general education better insures against technology-induced employment risk, we ask how this type of risk, as perceived by individuals, shapes their education preferences. Our analyses, based on a survey of over 11,500 respondents across seven European countries, show that VET is regarded as a sa...

摘要：This paper proposes a transdisciplinary approach to design future degrowth-oriented industrial policies in pursuing a well-being economy in the case of a specific growth model. Specifically, we show that the case of the Visegrad countries (Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, V4s) is a clarion call for the degrowth literature to be much more modest and self-critical. It addresses the puzzling question of whether the future degrowth policies of the V4s are influenced by their unique industria...

摘要：The unsettling conditions of contemporary society, marked by recurrent transboundary crises and turbulence, stimulate discussions about the resilience of different governing models. Public bureaucracy and its governing instruments are confronted with the virtues and vices of models dominated by markets and networks. We present a case study demonstrating how the governing instruments within a system resembling a neo-Weberian state model with a reformed and modernized bureaucracy effectively fac...

摘要：Platform companies like Uber and Airbnb are depicted as agile policy entrepreneurs who can navigate the boundaries of regulatory frameworks and manipulate regulations to their advantage; however, recent empirical studies suggest that their capacity to influence policy depends on the particular political and institutional context. This study investigates the evolving responses of local regulators to platform companies across 108 European cities between 2012 and 2022. Utilizing a regulatory stri...

Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/664 concerning unmanned traffic management (a system referred to as U-Space) furthers that commitment. Accordingly, drone operators must avail themselves of automatic traffic-related U-Space services concerning flight authorization, geo awareness, traffic information, and network identification before enter...
