摘要：Large, listed companies are under increasing pressure to respond to critical issues such as climate change, modern slavery, and the protection of First Nations' heritage. Much of this pressure is exerted by civil society actors through corporate governance mechanisms, including leveraging shareholder rights to lobby firms. At the heart of this process sit largely understudied actors, proxy advisors, who advise large institutional investors on whether to support civil society's claim-making on ...

摘要：It has become commonplace for non-democratic regimes to integrate information and communication technologies (ICTs) into their governance system. However, how citizens make use of these new digital opportunities in an authoritarian setting remains understudied. Based on an online survey in China in 2021, we find that a surprisingly large share of Chinese citizens engages with the new ICT-based participatory venues. But ICTs seem to unfold their potential only for certain groups such as tech-sa...

摘要：A large body of research demonstrates support for deterrence and organizational justice perspectives in regulating white-collar and corporate crime. While much of this literature focuses on corporate America, there are nonetheless some established consistencies in what works to promote compliance. Parallel to this literature, policing scholars tend to focus on negative outcomes, such as excessive use of force and other forms of misconduct, rather than through a glass-half-full lens of complian...

摘要：When pandemics threaten, governments are expected to protect citizens. Trustworthiness and trust are central to meeting public expectations. Motivational posturing theory differentiates resistant and dismissive defiance during the COVID-19 pandemic. While trust is central to responding to resistant defiance, it is less relevant for dismissive defiance. Dismissive defiance is associated with distrust, conceptualized as losing hope that trust norms will restore trust. Using multiple linear regre...

摘要：How have advanced capitalist democracies transitioned from a Fordist to a post-Fordist, knowledge-based economy? And why have they followed seemingly similar policy trajectories despite different economic models and sectoral specializations? We develop the notion of skill-biased policy change to answer these questions. Drawing on a distinction between valence and partisan issues in the transition to the knowledge economy, we highlight the partisan and business group politics underpinning diffe...

摘要：There is growing evidence of the occurrence of several types of goal displacement in regulatory enforcement agencies. A major underlying determinant of these phenomena is the neglect of ambiguities characterizing the goals of these agencies. This paper proposes three strategies that carefully consider these goal ambiguities to contain goal displacement. Each of them relates to an important underlying process in enforcement regimes. The first, multifocal scope selection, seeks to establish a ba...

摘要：In this Special Issue titled Policy Growth and Its Impacts on Policy Implementation, we present a collection of articles examining the relationship between the policy growth and policy implementation. The issue is organized around three key themes: changes, challenges, and chances. In the changes section, we feature scholarly work that investigates how policy growth influences the evolution of implementation structures and practices. The challenges section offers analyses on how the increasing...

摘要：The rationalization of corruption allows individuals to detach from moral imperatives, enabling them to perceive unethical or unlawful actions as acceptable or justifiable. Closely linked to the concept of moral disengagement, rationalization involves cognitive distortions that frame inhumane or immoral behavior as neither wrong nor inconsistent with the agent's values. Despite its conceptual significance, rationalization has been empirically understudied, largely due to the limited availabili...

摘要：This paper investigates how citizens perceive and evaluate the digitalization of education. Drawing on original survey data from six OECD countries (Germany, Japan, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the US), the study addresses the overarching question: Does public opinion support or inhibit the digital transformation of education? The analysis focuses on three core aspects in this regard-perceptions of state performance, demand for digital device use in schools, and concerns about data governance. F...

摘要：Lobbying is a multi-faceted phenomenon that involves interest groups and corporations contacting politicians and officials in order to try to achieve their policy preferences. While interest group policy-related lobbying has received a great deal of attention, studies of corporate contract lobbying are rarer even though this is a much older phenomenon. The article critically examines the commonly-held position that in the latter case lobbying is for winners; that is, that large scale corporate...
