• Achilles' heels of governance: Critical capacity deficits and their role in governance failures AI翻译
  作者：Howlett, Michael; Ramesh, M.

  摘要：This article assesses the usefulness of conceptions of policy capacity for understanding policy and governance outcomes. In order to shed light on this issue, it revisits the concept of governance, derives a model of basic governance types and discusses their capacity pre-requisites. A model of capacity is developed combining competences over three levels of activities with analysis of resource capabilities at each level. This analysis is then applied to the common modes of governance. While e...
• When doctors shape policy: The impact of self-regulation on governing human biotechnology AI翻译
  作者：Engeli, Isabelle; Allison, Christine Rothmayr

  摘要：This paper investigates the development and adoption of governance modes in the field of human biotechnology. As the field of human biotechnology is relatively new, voluntary professional self-regulation constituted the initial governing mode. In the meantime, with the exception of Ireland, all Western European countries have moved toward greater state intervention. Nevertheless, they have done so in contrasting ways and the resulting governance modes for assisted reproductive technology and e...
• Judicial enforcement deputies: Causes and effects of Chinese judges enforcing environmental administrative decisions AI翻译

  摘要：This paper explores how and why Chinese courts became involved in regulating pollution by aiding administrative agencies in executing sanction decisions and collecting pollution levies. It also studies the effects of their regulatory involvement, both in terms of deterrence inferred from available information, as well as the compliance behavior of regulated actors defined as payment of regulatory penalties. It finds that judicial involvement in regulatory enforcement proved to be short-lived a...
• Jurisdictional integration: A framework for measuring and predicting the depth of international regulatory cooperation in competition policy AI翻译
  作者：Petrie, Murray
  作者单位：Victoria University Wellington
  摘要：This article takes a new approach to international regulatory cooperation by developing a concept of the depth of cooperation, jurisdictional integration. A dataset of international competition policy agreements is compiled and ranked against an ordinal index of the depth of de jure cooperation in enforcing competition policies. There has been both a deepening and broadening of de jure cooperation over time. Statistical analysis finds that common membership of the Organisation for Economic Co-...
• Dysfunctional state institutions, trust, and governance in areas of limited statehood AI翻译
  作者：Boerzel, Tanja A.; Risse, Thomas

  摘要：Areas of limited statehood where the state is absent or dysfunctional are rarely ungoverned or ungovernable spaces. The provision of rules and regulations, as well as of public goods and services - governance - does not necessarily depend on the existence of functioning state institutions. How can this be explained? To begin with, we identify functional equivalents to state institutions that fail to govern hierarchically. Moreover, we focus on informal institutions based on trust that are endo...
• Representative bureaucracy and seconded national government officials in the European Commission AI翻译

  摘要：The bureaucratic arms of modern international organizations increasingly consist of staff with ambiguous organizational affiliations. This article analyses the implications of this trend from the perspective of representative bureaucracy - using seconded national experts (SNEs) in the European Commission (Commission) as the empirical laboratory. Using a variety of datasets, we unveil Commission SNEs' profiles (to assess their passive representativeness) and link these profiles to their role pe...
• When experimentalist governance meets science-based regulations; the case of food safety regulations AI翻译
  作者：Wengle, Susanne
  作者单位：University of Chicago
  摘要：This paper examines a central regulatory mechanism that shapes food economies. Food safety regulations in the United States rely on a science-based transnational regulatory system known as Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP), which bears central features of what Sabel and Zeitlin identified as experimentalist governance: a new form of regulation that is flexible, responsive, and involves stakeholders in iterative and direct democratic deliberation. The core theoretical question ...
• The authoritarian logic of regulatory pluralism: Understanding China's new environmental actors AI翻译

  摘要：Over the last decade, Chinese citizens, judges, and prosecutors have started to take action against industrial pollution, pluralizing a regulatory landscape originally occupied by administrative agencies. Regulatory pluralism here has an authoritarian logic, occurring without the retreat of party-state control. Under such logic, the party-state both needs and fears new actors for their positive and negative roles in controlling risk and maintaining stability. Consequently, the regime's relatio...
• Ingredients of institutional reputations and citizen engagement with regulators AI翻译

  摘要：The purpose of this study is to examine the link between the reputational components of efficacy and moral reliability of institutions, and citizens' compliance with institutional recommendations. Research on bureaucratic reputations highlights the significance of positive political reputations based on credibility and legitimacy, but the impact of these components is not systematically isolated and studied. We draw insights from political psychology to move beyond a positive-negative valence-...
• Are regulatory agencies independent in practice? Evidence from board members in Spain AI翻译

  摘要：Are the board members of regulatory agencies (regulators), taken as a particular cluster within the public sphere, independent of elected politicians and tenured bureaucrats? How can we assess their independence in practice, beyond formal rules? To address these questions, this paper delves into two key dimensions: board members' social connections and their security of tenure in office. Firstly, we focus on regulators' identity as policy adjudicators and examine their political and administra...
