Based on a combination of a complex systems lens and the global value chain and global governance approaches, the paper uses literature analysis and expert interviews, evaluated through qualitative content and causal loop analysis, to analyze the complex potential impa...

摘要：Citizen trust in regulatory agencies is crucial for the effective functioning of financial markets and broader public governance. This paper investigates the validity of the Citizens' Trust in Government Organizations (CTGO) scale in a transitioning society with historically low institutional trust. Using the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA) as the focal organization, our study examines how trustworthiness dimensions-ability, integrity, and benevolence-apply in this context. The r...

摘要：Skills formation is a pressing issue for middle-income countries given the pace of technological change. In Latin America, scholars point to the hierarchical type of capitalism and its segmentalist skills formation system as the main roadblocks to exiting the middle-income trap. Yet we contend that focusing on national models of capitalism is limited because they do not explain within-country variations in highly unequal contexts. That is the case of the emergence of state-business cooperation...

摘要：Through case studies in the South Pacific and an examination of Chinese sources, this article examines two dimensions of China's cybercrime enforcement beyond its borders: how it manages to repatriate cybercriminals in the absence of formal extradition agreements, and why these repatriations are surrounded by a high degree of performativity. The article finds targeting influential government figures and bilateral police cooperation agreements are used to bypass legal norms in the Pacific to re...

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...

摘要：Voluntary sustainability standards (VSS)-such as Fairtrade International and the Forest Stewardship Council-aim to improve sustainability in global supply chains by setting high social and environmental standards and certifying businesses that adopt them. This article examines why some VSS adopt ambitious goals for living wages or living incomes yet continue to certify businesses that only pay a minimum wage. Drawing on previous literature, it offers a typology of five ways that VSS can decoup...

摘要：This study revisits the environmental race to the bottom thesis in the United States, which argues that states compete for mobile capital by relaxing environmental regulations. Examining state-level enforcement of federal surface mining and air pollution control regulation over a 35-year period, we find robust evidence of strategic interaction in state environmental regulatory behavior in the asymmetric manner suggested by the race to the bottom theory. For surface mining regulation, our resul...

摘要：The aim of this research was to examine the effects of a cooperative and deterrent style, portrayed through regulatory letters, on motivation and compliance. Study 1 examined a general sample (N = 492) in an online experiment, to assess motivation and compliance-intentions. Study 2 focused on non-compliant financial service providers (N = 2803), assessing objective compliance in a field experiment. Both studies tested the impact of letters written in three different styles (i.e., neutral, coop...
