摘要：How do provisions for administrative sanctioning affect the implementation of loose legal norms? To streamline regulation, governments have increased their penal capacity by authorizing administrative sanctioning, and they have decentralized regulatory responsibility by loosening legal norms. A case study of Norway's animal welfare governance shows how using administrative sanctions to enforce loose legal norms led to unpredictable sanctioning and, thereby, subverted regulatees' trust in law e...

摘要：Worker cooperatives in the gig economy can involve large and heterogeneous memberships, which makes them vulnerable to member opportunism depleting collective resources. External shocks may present another challenge for collective resource management. This raises the question of how heterogeneous cooperatives design rules to mitigate opportunistic behavior and whether these rules evolve in the face of external shocks. We study the case of Smart Belgium between 2017 and 2022, thereby covering t...

摘要：This article argues that if the aspiration is to enhance regulatory and governance responses to white-collar and corporate crimes, consideration of the organization of these offending behaviors must be central to the scholarly, practice, and policy discussion. Regulation and governance scholarship has thrived as a field of study in its contributions to the theories and practices of regulation (and regulators) but has backgrounded the dynamics of how regulatees organize their rule-breaking beha...

摘要：Through the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, the European Commission targets sustainable products and value chains to curb environmental and social problems. Based on a combination of a complex systems lens and the global value chain and global governance approaches, the paper uses literature analysis and expert interviews, evaluated through qualitative content and causal loop analysis, to analyze the complex potential impa...

摘要：Citizen trust in regulatory agencies is crucial for the effective functioning of financial markets and broader public governance. This paper investigates the validity of the Citizens' Trust in Government Organizations (CTGO) scale in a transitioning society with historically low institutional trust. Using the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA) as the focal organization, our study examines how trustworthiness dimensions-ability, integrity, and benevolence-apply in this context. The r...

摘要：Skills formation is a pressing issue for middle-income countries given the pace of technological change. In Latin America, scholars point to the hierarchical type of capitalism and its segmentalist skills formation system as the main roadblocks to exiting the middle-income trap. Yet we contend that focusing on national models of capitalism is limited because they do not explain within-country variations in highly unequal contexts. That is the case of the emergence of state-business cooperation...

摘要：Through case studies in the South Pacific and an examination of Chinese sources, this article examines two dimensions of China's cybercrime enforcement beyond its borders: how it manages to repatriate cybercriminals in the absence of formal extradition agreements, and why these repatriations are surrounded by a high degree of performativity. The article finds targeting influential government figures and bilateral police cooperation agreements are used to bypass legal norms in the Pacific to re...

摘要：Trust is a key resource in financial transactions. Traditional financial institutions, and novel blockchain-based decentralized financial (DeFi) services rely on fundamentally different sources of trust and confidence. The former relies on heavy regulation, trusted intermediaries, clear rules (and restrictions) on market competition, and long-standing informal expectations on what banks and other financial intermediaries are supposed to do or not to do. The latter rely on blockchain technology...

摘要：Decentralized governance technologies like blockchains are often proposed as substitutes for private legal arrangements like those provided by company law or organizational law more generally. In established legal systems in developed countries, the costs of implementing such algorithmic mechanisms are likely to be greater than the agency or other costs that come from selecting and trusting an existing third party. But even if that were not true, attempting to achieve decentralized governance ...

摘要：This paper focuses on climate coalitions and commitments in the Global South by comparing the cases of two Latin American countries, Chile and Mexico. Chile, once a laggard, emerged as a regional leader in climate policy in the early 2020s, while Mexico, a pioneer until the early 2010s, experienced a backlash and retreated. How can we make sense of these diverging trajectories? How and why do climate commitments emerge? This paper argues that robust commitments are only possible when driven by...
