摘要：Public procurement has been adopted by many countries as a tool to innovate public services. However, public service innovation also exposes civil servants to the risk of being criticized for perceived failures in outcome. Empirically studying the relations between regulations and civil servants' trust in contractors will deepen our understanding of the critical role trust plays in collaborative public service innovation. Investigating civil servants' trust in NGO contractors delivering public...

摘要：A recent raft of due diligence regulation (DDR) addressing social and environmental conditions in global value chains (GVCs) has spread across the UK and Europe. An emerging literature on DDR highlights the politics of its formation. Yet, we know little about how existing sustainability governance along GVCs interacts with DDR or the wider structural context in which DDR is implemented. Empirically, we examine European DDR relevant to the South African wine sector before analyzing the sustaina...

摘要：Assigning the preparation of decisions to specialized committees composed of member state representatives is a widespread response to the 'governor's dilemma', that is, the tension between competence and control, in international organizations (IOs). We theorize a causal mechanism referring to self-selection and agenda-setting effects and show how the resulting division of labor among IO bodies produces organizational influence beyond current accounts of committee governance. We demonstrate wh...

摘要：Blockchain treasuries are pools of cryptocurrency earmarked for funding goods and services within a blockchain ecosystem, such as protocol upgrades. Blockchain participants, such as users and developers, face a trust problem in ensuring that the treasury is robust to opportunism, such as theft or misappropriation of the assets. Treasury governance structures, such as committees or stakeholder voting, seek to create trust in treasury functions. In this paper, we use new comparative economics to...

摘要：This study challenges the assumption that cooperation mechanisms are uniform across policy domains by examining how trust and social norms influence personal commitment to cooperate (PCC) in taxation, public health, and environmental protection. Using data from 15 countries, we identify systematic differences that question universal regulatory designs. A key finding is a domain-specific substitution effect: high institutional trust correlates with higher PCC in taxation but paradoxically lower...

摘要：This study investigates how bureaucratic strategies for structuring the policy environment shape regulatory outcomes, focusing on the extent to which agencies achieve their original policy preferences. Drawing on resource dependence theory and bureaucratic politics, we conceptualize the policy environment in two dimensions: internal, concerning engagement with interest and societal groups within the agency's jurisdiction, and external, relating to interactions with other institutional actors a...

摘要：This paper investigates how the concept of skills operates as a malleable governance instrument in EU policy, allowing for coordination despite diverse national priorities. Analyzing National Implementation Plans (NIPs) of the Osnabr & uuml;ck Declaration, we examine how Germany, France, Sweden, and Spain interpret and operationalize skill formation through nationally specific lenses. Despite being a least-likely case for ambiguity, the NIPs reveal strategic variation: Germany links skills to ...

摘要：Conditionality was a central concern in the development literature of the 1990s. With the significant expansion of targeted public support to private firms since the Great Financial Crisis, the issue of conditionality has once again become a focal point in industrial policy debates. Despite the growing interest in the concept, the existing literature lacks a systematic conceptualization of conditionality within the context of industrial policy and does not outline the political factors that en...

摘要：How should the law regulate the use and management of a resource in market activity? The resource can be perceived as an entitlement, granting market participants veto power over its use and management. Alternatively, market participants can be protected as consumers with rules focusing on disclosure, repair, and safety. The two alternative protections reflect different ways of regulating the economic power of large corporate actors in the market. Property law grants individual control over th...

摘要：In conventional understandings of compliance, lawyers and compliance officers internalize compliance within corporations. Complicating this model, this article argues that compliance professionals may occupy a Janus-faced role between informality and formality. We use the case of legal brokers of Chinese investment in Cambodia as our empirical testing ground. Based on qualitative fieldwork conducted in Cambodia from 2019 to 2022, we find that legal brokers between Chinese investors and Cambodi...
