摘要:This article examines trust in regulation as a core value and precondition of the modern liberal democratic regulatory state. It develops a concept of justified trust in regulation, grounded in regulatory trustworthiness-honesty, competence, and reliability-rather than in proxies such as partisan loyalty, blind faith, obedience, or resignation. The article situates this conception of regulatory trustworthiness within liberal democratic rule-of-law commitments to equal respect, fairness, and ac...

摘要:This article investigates the formation of stakeholders' trust in regulatory agencies, as the extent to which contact frequency and sentiment of media coverage are related to different types of stakeholders' trust. Based upon original survey data from diverse stakeholders, and media coverage from 2015 to 2020 of agencies in the food safety, financial regulation, and data protection sectors across seven countries, the analysis suggests that media coverage rather than contact frequency is import...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
