• Punishing environmental crimes: An empirical study from lower courts to the court of appeal AI翻译

  摘要：We analyze judicial policy lines concerning the punishment of environmental crime using a unique European dataset of individual criminal cases, including case-specific information on offenses and offenders. We investigate policy choices made by lower criminal courts, as well as their follow-up by the relevant court of appeal. The sanctioning policy of the courts has proven to be varied as well as consistent. Judges carefully balance effective and suspended penalties, most often using them cumu...
• Secondary learning and the unintended benefits of collaborative mechanisms: The Federal Aviation Administration's voluntary disclosure programs AI翻译

  摘要：Along with other types of process-oriented regulation, voluntary disclosure programs are increasingly used by regulatory agencies to supplement traditional inspection activities. Voluntary disclosure programs provide incentives, such as immunity or reduced regulatory enforcement to those submitting reports, while providing regulatory agencies with valuable information on existing risks and areas of non-compliance. This article contributes to the discussion of voluntary disclosure programs by h...
• Domestic drivers of transgovernmental regulatory cooperation AI翻译
  作者：Bach, David; Newman, Abraham
  作者单位：Yale University; Georgetown University
  摘要：Transgovernmental cooperation among domestic regulators has generated considerable interest among scholars and policymakers. While previous research has focused on describing such regulatory networks, we know very little about what drives individual jurisdictions to join them. The question of membership is important because it determines the reach of rules and standards promulgated by a given network, and because it is logically prior to understanding the rulemaking dynamic within a network. W...
• Globalization, state, and innovation: An appraisal of networked industrial policy AI翻译
  作者：Negoita, Marian
  摘要：One of the most pressing questions in comparative social science is whether, and to what extent, the rapid advance of globalization has negatively affected states' capacity to initiate successful economic and social policies. This paper puts forward the notion that states continue to be relevant because they have the potential to build and sustain networks of production and learning, which are sorely needed in the current era of globalization when productive arrangements are dominated by decen...
• Confronting trade-offs and interactive effects in the choice of policy focus: Specialized versus comprehensive private governance AI翻译
  作者：Auld, Graeme
  作者单位：Carleton University
  摘要：In setting standards for responsible business practices, certification programs create issue boundaries delineated by the focus of their standards. These issue boundaries may impede action on certain causes of problems (i.e. problem interactive effects) or lead to policy actions that affect other governance initiatives (i.e. policy interactive effects). When these interactions are extensive, programs confront trade-offs: develop as a comprehensive program (i.e. have a broad policy focus) and t...
• Cross-national variations in industry regulation: A factor analytic approach with an application to telecommunications AI翻译
  作者：Perkins, Susan
  作者单位：Northwestern University
  摘要：This study applies factor analytic techniques to 131 telecommunications regulatory agencies in 80 countries to develop a comparative framework for better understanding the cross-national institutional variation in industrial regulation. While some of these measures are specific to the telecom industry (i.e. World Trade Organization Basic Telecom Agreement participation), most of these regulatory variables can be applied to other regulated industries. After analyzing 30 variables, these techniq...
• Courage, regulatory responsibility, and the challenge of higher-order reflexivity AI翻译
  作者：Perez, Oren
  作者单位：Bar Ilan University
  摘要：Contemporary regulators must respond to ever-increasing societal demands in various domains. Regulators must cope with these demands under conditions of extreme epistemic scarcity and ideological divide. This leaves regulators perplexed about what action they should take. Regulatory praxis offers two primary responses to this moral and epistemic dilemma: technical canonization and reflexive regulation. While these two approaches represent contrary regulatory philosophies, they suffer from two ...
• To enforce or not to enforce? Judicialization, venue shopping, and global regulatory harmonization AI翻译
  作者：De Bievre, Dirk; Poletti, Arlo; Thomann, Lars
  作者单位：University of Antwerp
  摘要：The regulation of intellectual property rights takes place in a range of international venues. This proliferation of international venues greatly enhances the potential for venue shopping. We argue that different levels of domestic regulation and differing degrees of judicialization account for actors' preferences over institutional venues. We take into consideration two scenarios. Conceiving of judicialization as the delegation of adjudication to an independent third party and the enforcement...
• What price fairness when security is at stake? Police legitimacy in South Africa AI翻译

  摘要：The legitimacy of legal authorities - particularly the police - is central to the state's ability to function in a normatively justifiable and effective manner. Studies, mostly conducted in the US and UK, regularly find that procedural justice is the most important antecedent of police legitimacy, with judgments about other aspects of police behavior - notably, about effectiveness - appearing less relevant. But this idea has received only sporadic testing in less cohesive societies where socia...
• Transnational business governance interactions: Conceptualization and framework for analysis AI翻译

  摘要：This special issue demonstrates the importance of interactions in transnational business governance. The number of schemes applying non-state authority to govern business conduct across borders has vastly expanded in numerous issue areas. As these initiatives proliferate, they increasingly interact with one another and with state-based regimes. The key challenge is to understand the implications of these interactions for regulatory capacity and performance, and ultimately for social and enviro...
