  摘要：Theory and case studies suggest that emergencies and disasters increase corruption, especially in public procurement, hampering relief and reconstruction efforts. Despite a growing interest in the topic, including in research, there is still little systematic evidence about these effects, their structure and trajectories. We set out to investigate the medium-term impact of disasters on corruption risks, using large-scale administrative data on public tenders in Italy from 2007 to 2020, combine...
• Sharing the Burden: How Corporatism Shapes the Division of Environmental Tax Revenue AI翻译
  作者：Dalen, Par
  作者单位：Stockholm University
  摘要：This comparative study spanning more than two decades examines how corporatist institutions shape the distribution of environmental tax revenue between producers and consumers. Environmental taxes have become a key policy instrument for addressing climate change and other environmental problems, but their effectiveness and political viability likely depend on how these taxes are collected and distributed. We develop two competing theoretical perspectives with opposing expectations: corporatist...
• Steering the Green Transition in the European Union? Analysis of the European Commission's Strategic Communication AI翻译

  摘要：This paper examines the strategic communication of the European Commission about developing a regulatory approach and financial instruments to foster the greening of the European economy over a period of 14 years (2009-2023). We investigate in-depth the strategic communication of three European Commission Colleges led by Barroso, Juncker, and von der Leyen, respectively. We analyze an original dataset of 57 Commission Communications using qualitative content analysis. The paper demonstrates th...
• The Comparative Political Economy of the Green Transition: Economic Specializations and Skills Regimes in Europe AI翻译
  作者：Cigna, Luca; Di Carlo, Donato; Durazzi, Niccolo
  作者单位：Max Planck Society; European University Institute; University of London; London School Economics & Political Science; Universita di Modena e Reggio Emilia; University of Edinburgh
  摘要：The green transition is fundamentally transforming contemporary economies and societies. This article investigates how European models of capitalism perform and specialize across the green value chain-conceptualized as innovation, manufacturing, services, and deployment-and how national skill formation systems underpin these specializations. Integrating insights from comparative capitalism literatures with descriptive statistics and principal component analysis (PCA), we develop and test expec...
• Is Less More? Field Evidence on the Impact of Anti-Bribery Policies on Employee Knowledge and Corrupt Behavior AI翻译

  摘要：Companies increasingly adopt internal norms to enhance compliance with legal rules. However, the rapid growth in volume and complexity of such internal rules may obstruct employee knowledge and understanding of such internal rules, and therefore also their compliance. The present study seeks to understand whether shorter and more accessible formats of internal company norms will yield better knowledge and understanding of such norms. The study consists of an extensive online field experiment r...
• Impact Assessment as Agenda-Setting: Procedural Politicking and the Mobilization of Bias in the European Union's Audiovisual Media Services Directive AI翻译
  作者：Brooks, Eleanor; Lauber, Kathrin
  作者单位：University of Edinburgh
  摘要：Though often framed as a technocratic tool, impact assessment is a core element of the political agenda-setting process. In this article, we show that decisions about what is subject to legislative debate are made during impact assessment; specifically, during the drafting of the assessment report. Using a social process tracing methodology, we analyze the removal from the agenda of provisions for stronger alcohol advertising rules during the revision of the EU's Audiovisual Media Services Dir...
• Corporate Governance in a Crypto-World AI翻译
  作者：Davidson, Sinclair
  作者单位：Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT)
  摘要：This paper explores the nature of governance both within and by blockchains and the economies they support. There is a widespread assumption that the proper governance model for these economies is political. In this paper, I make an alternative claim, namely that a more accurate model for blockchain governance is as a species of corporate governance. Political and corporate governance are similar, but they solve different problems with different incentives. Political governance, at its base, s...
• Mapping Organized Crime as a Stakeholder: A Risk-Based and Responsive Governance Perspective AI翻译
  作者：Scire, Giovanni; Bivona, Enzo
  作者单位：University of Palermo
  摘要：Organized crime (OC) can influence firms through coercion, collusion, financial ties, and supply-chain relationships, yet these interactions remain underexamined in stakeholder theory. This article conceptualizes organized crime as an analytically relevant but non-normatively legitimate stakeholder and develops a risk-based framework combining stakeholder salience, interface channel, interest level, and influence strategy. The framework specifies when OC is likely to command managerial attenti...
• Hybridity of Accountability Logics in Voluntary Sustainability Governance: The Case of Commitment 2050 AI翻译
  作者：Vikstedt, Elina; Penttila, Visa; Welinder, Olga; Vakkuri, Jarmo
  作者单位：Tampere University; Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT; Lund University
  摘要：Governance of sustainable development increasingly relies on voluntary standards and commitments, the credibility and effectiveness of which hinge on accountability-ensuring actors align with shared goals and follow through on them. However, voluntary initiatives operate outside traditional control structures and blend elements of state, market, and community governance. This study examines how accountability is constructed and practiced through the lens of accountability logics. Using Finland...
• Turf Protection or Policy Expansion? How European Agencies Shape Their Reputation Through Social Media Communication AI翻译
  作者：Shyrokykh, Karina; Eckert, Sandra; Olofsson, Kristin
  作者单位：Stockholm University; University of Erlangen Nuremberg; Oklahoma State University System; Oklahoma State University - Stillwater
  摘要：We approach public communication of bureaucratic organizations as a means of reputation management and argue that social media communication that abstains from making reference to other agencies is in line with a turf-protective strategy, whereas communication that seeks to establish a link to other agencies is in line with a strategy to embrace new issues and expand policy competencies. Using climate policy communication by EU agencies on the social media platform Twitter (currently X), we sh...
