This memoir describes the 40-year unfolding, project by project, of my sociolegal field research on legal and regulatory processes. It provides brief accounts of my interactions and interviews with regulatory officials and with businesspeople responsible for regulatory compliance. It also describes my ventures into the cross-national comparison of legal and regulatory institutions and the political systems that shape and support them.

Throughout the past decades, the EU's agency landscape has continuously expanded in size and scope. In this article, we address the lack of longitudinal data on EU agencies' formal independence. We introduce a newly revised index to measure the formal independence of EU agencies from other EU institutions over time. Applying a rules-as-data approach we coded 206 regulations and amendments to develop a new dataset covering the formal independence of all 39 EU agencies from 1975 to 2022. This longitudinal overview provides first insights about the development of formal independence at the case and population levels. At the case level we identify frequent, albeit gradual reforms of EU agencies' independence. At the population level, we observe remarkable stability in overall independence, but find stark variation across different independence dimensions. Overall, EU-level principals have shifted over time from controlling individual decisions to controlling the agencies' general decision-making apparatus.
在过去的几十年里,欧盟的机构格局在规模和范围上不断扩大。在这篇文章中,我们解决缺乏纵向数据的欧盟机构的正式独立性。我们引入了一个新修订的指数来衡量欧盟机构相对于其他欧盟机构的正式独立性。采用规则即数据的方法,我们对206项法规和修正案进行了编码,开发了一个新的数据集,涵盖了所有39个欧盟机构从1975年到2022年的正式独立性。这一纵向概述提供了关于在病例和人口水平上正式独立性发展的第一个见解。在个案层面,我们发现欧盟机构的独立性改革频繁,尽管是渐进的。在人口水平上,我们观察到总体独立性的显著稳定性,但在不同的独立性维度上发现了明显的差异。总体而言,随着时间的推移,欧盟层面的负责人已经从控制个别决策转向控制各机构的总体决策机构。

This paper contributes to ongoing scholarly debates on the merits and limitations of computational legal text analysis by reflecting on the results of a research project documenting exceptional COVID-19 management measures in Europe. The variety of exceptional measures adopted in countries characterized by different legal systems and natural languages, as well as the rapid evolution of such measures, pose considerable challenges to manual textual analysis methods traditionally used in the social sciences. To address these challenges, we develop a supervised classifier to support the manual coding of exceptional policies by a multinational team of human coders. After presenting the results of various natural language processing (NLP) experiments, we show that human-in-the-loop approaches to computational text analysis outperform unsupervised approaches in accurately extracting policy events from legal texts. We draw lessons from our experience to ensure the successful integration of NLP methods into social science research agendas.
本文通过反思一个记录欧洲特殊COVID-19管理措施的研究项目的结果,为正在进行的关于计算法律文本分析的优点和局限性的学术辩论做出贡献。以不同法律制度和自然语言为特征的国家所采取的各种特殊措施,以及这些措施的迅速演变,对传统上用于社会科学的手工文本分析方法构成了相当大的挑战。为了应对这些挑战,我们开发了一个有监督的分类器,以支持由人类编码员组成的跨国团队对异常策略进行手动编码。在展示了各种自然语言处理(NLP)实验的结果之后,我们表明,在从法律文本中准确提取政策事件方面,人类在循环中的计算文本分析方法优于无监督方法。我们从我们的经验中吸取教训,以确保将NLP方法成功地整合到社会科学研究议程中。

Scholarly evidence of transparency's beneficial effects on trust and perceptions of corruption remains debated and confined to the study of public administration. We contribute to this debate by extending the study of its effects to transparency legislation concerning members of parliament (MPs), political parties, and business interest groups. In an online experiment conducted in Ireland with 1373 citizens, we find that transparency in political donations improves trust in political parties, while asset declaration for conflict of interest prevention reduces perceptions of corruption toward MPs. However, transparency in lobbying is found to have no impact on attitudes toward business interest groups. This supports the common expectation that transparency improves political trust and reduces perceptions of corruption, but also confirms its complex effects. The study improves our understanding of transparency beyond open government providing an evaluation of different regulatory policies aimed at making the activities of parties, MPs, and lobby groups transparent.
关于透明度对信任和对腐败看法的有益影响的学术证据仍然存在争议,而且仅限于公共行政研究。我们通过将其影响的研究扩展到涉及国会议员、政党和商业利益集团的透明度立法,从而为这场辩论做出贡献。在爱尔兰对1373名公民进行的一项在线实验中,我们发现政治捐款的透明度提高了对政党的信任,而为防止利益冲突而进行的资产申报则降低了对议员腐败的看法。然而,调查发现,游说的透明度对企业利益集团的态度没有影响。这支持了人们的普遍期望,即透明度可以提高政治信任,减少对腐败的看法,但也证实了透明度的复杂影响。这项研究提高了我们对透明度的理解,超越了对开放政府的理解,它对旨在使政党、国会议员和游说团体的活动透明化的不同监管政策进行了评估。

Rethinking the national quality framework: Improving the quality and safety of alcohol and other drug treatment in Australia 重新思考国家质量框架:改善澳大利亚酒精和其他药物治疗的质量和安全
IF 3 2区 社会学 Q1 LAW Pub Date : 2023-09-12 DOI: 10.1111/rego.12554

The national quality framework (NQF) has been implemented to improve the safety and quality of alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment and provide a nationally consistent approach to treatment quality in Australia. At the same time, concerns have been raised that, in the absence of appropriate regulatory structures to support the NQF, the quality and safety of AOD treatment services cannot be guaranteed in Australia. An effective enforcement strategy is critical to the ability of the NQF to provide a nationally consistent approach to the delivery of AOD treatment in Australia. The monitoring and enforcement strategy proposed by the NQF encompasses two different mechanisms. For specialist AOD treatment providers in receipt of government funding, monitoring and enforcement of the NQF will occur via contractual arrangements. For providers not in receipt of government funding, monitoring and enforcement will be managed by regulatory mechanisms as decided by each jurisdiction. This proposed enforcement strategy raises the question of whether contractual arrangements are the most effective mechanism for monitoring and enforcing the NQF in publicly funded specialist AOD treatment providers. This paper considers whether a licensing regime may address the shortcomings that arise from the proposed strategy. It argues that the pluralistic approach to the monitoring and enforcement of the NQF will result in substantive differences in how the NQF is enforced both within individual jurisdictions and on a broader national level. A licensing regime, therefore, would be a more appropriate monitoring and enforcement strategy.
实施了《国家质量框架》,以提高酒精和其他药物治疗的安全性和质量,并为澳大利亚的治疗质量提供全国一致的办法。与此同时,由于缺乏适当的监管结构来支持NQF,澳大利亚的AOD治疗服务的质量和安全性无法得到保证,这引起了人们的关注。有效的执法战略对于国家质量基金在澳大利亚提供全国一致的AOD治疗方法的能力至关重要。NQF提出的监测和执法战略包括两种不同的机制。对于接受政府资助的专业AOD治疗提供者,将通过合同安排监测和执行NQF。对于未获得政府资助的供应商,监测和执法将由各司法管辖区决定的监管机制进行管理。这一拟议的执行策略提出了一个问题,即合同安排是否是在公共资助的AOD专科治疗提供者中监测和执行NQF的最有效机制。本文考虑牌照制度是否可以解决拟议策略所产生的缺点。它认为,监测和执行《国家安全框架》的多元化做法将导致在个别司法管辖区和在更广泛的国家一级执行《国家安全框架》的方式存在实质性差异。因此,许可证制度将是一种更适当的监测和执法战略。

A comparison of stakeholder engagement practices in voluntary sustainability standards 自愿可持续性标准中利益相关者参与实践的比较

Practices of stakeholder engagement vary widely across voluntary sustainability standard setters. This study examines how the sponsorship structure of standard setters affects the diversity of stakeholders included in consultations and the influence of stakeholder input on standards. I compare six sustainability standard setters through an original dataset of 7945 stakeholder comments submitted during public comment periods between 2012 and 2019 to answer two research questions. First, are some standard setters better at balancing stakeholder representation than others? And second, does stakeholder influence vary across standard setters? I find that industry-sponsored standards tend to attract more industry input than multistakeholder initiatives, but both tend to over-represent legacy stakeholders. I also find that sponsorship is a poor predictor of which comments will be influential. Comments that seek to weaken or clarify the rules in voluntary sustainability standards are more likely to exert influence irrespective of the sponsorship of the standard setter.
各自愿性可持续发展标准制定机构的利益相关者参与实践差异很大。本研究考察了标准制定者的赞助结构如何影响磋商中利益相关者的多样性,以及利益相关者对标准投入的影响。我通过在2012年至2019年的公众评论期间提交的7945份利益相关者意见的原始数据集,比较了六个可持续发展标准制定者,以回答两个研究问题。首先,一些标准制定者是否比其他标准制定者更善于平衡利益相关者的代表?第二,利益相关者的影响在标准制定者之间是否有所不同?我发现,行业赞助的标准往往比多涉众计划吸引更多的行业投入,但两者都倾向于过度代表遗留涉众。我还发现,赞助并不能很好地预测哪些评论将具有影响力。试图削弱或澄清自愿可持续性标准中的规则的评论更有可能产生影响,而不管标准制定者是否支持。

Understanding patterns of stakeholder participation in public commenting on bureaucratic policymaking: Evidence from the European Union 理解利益相关者参与官僚决策公众评论的模式:来自欧盟的证据

Adriana Bunea, Sergiu Lipcean
What explains the levels and diversity of stakeholder participation in public commenting on bureaucratic policymaking? We examine a novel dataset on a stakeholder engagement mechanism recently introduced by the European Commission containing information about 1258 events organized between 2016 and 2019. We highlight the importance of administrative acts' characteristics and acknowledge the role of policy area type. Acts corresponding to early policy stages, broader in scope, less technical, and more explicit about feedback loop rules, that is, roadmaps, inception impact assessments and delegated acts, generate significantly more comments, from more diverse stakeholders, relative to legislative proposals, and draft implementing acts. Regulatory and distributive policies generate significantly more comments than interior and foreign policies. Diversity is significantly higher in distributive policies but only relative to foreign policies. We contribute by showing the power of administrative acts in influencing stakeholder participation and diversity across decision stages and policy areas and shaping bias in interest representation.
如何解释利益相关者参与对官僚决策的公众评论的水平和多样性?我们研究了欧盟委员会最近推出的一个关于利益相关者参与机制的新数据集,其中包含2016年至2019年组织的1258个事件的信息。强调行政行为特征的重要性,承认政策范畴类型的作用。与早期政策阶段相对应的法案,范围更广,技术性更少,反馈循环规则更明确,即路线图,初始影响评估和授权法案,相对于立法提案和实施法案草案,从更多样化的利益相关者那里产生更多的评论。监管和分配政策比内政和外交政策产生的评论要多得多。分配政策的多样性明显更高,但仅相对于外交政策而言。我们通过展示行政行为在影响利益相关者参与和跨决策阶段和政策领域的多样性以及形成利益代表偏见方面的力量来做出贡献。

Rethinking complementarity: The co-evolution of public and private governance in corporate climate disclosure 重新思考互补性:企业气候信息披露中公私治理的共同演变

In its 20 years of operation, the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) has been enormously successful as a private governor of corporate climate risk disclosure. Despite an influx of potentially competitive government-led disclosure initiatives and interventions, the use of CDP's platform has nonetheless accelerated. To explain this outcome, we argue that public interventions augment the value of private governance for firms when the costs of compliance overlap, benefits of compliance with private rules are undiminished, and normalization helps kickstart positive feedback effects. These conditions of complementarity are made possible by private governors leveraging authority, access, and adaptability as public responses materialize. We illustrate our argument with two cases: the Non-Financial Reporting Directive in the European Union and the G20's Taskforce for Climate-Related Financial Disclosures. In elaborating the conditions for complementarity beyond a functional division of governing labor, our study helps clarify how public and private governance co-evolve in a mutually reinforcing manner.
在其20年的运作中,碳信息披露项目(CDP)作为企业气候风险披露的私人管理者取得了巨大的成功。尽管政府主导的潜在竞争性信息披露计划和干预措施不断涌现,但CDP平台的使用仍在加速。为了解释这一结果,我们认为,当合规成本重叠时,公共干预增加了公司私人治理的价值,遵守私人规则的好处没有减少,正常化有助于启动正反馈效应。这些互补性条件是通过私人管理者利用权力、访问和适应性来实现的,因为公共反应是现实的。我们用两个案例来说明我们的观点:欧盟的非财务报告指令和20国集团气候相关财务披露工作组。我们的研究阐述了治理劳动职能分工之外的互补性条件,有助于阐明公共治理和私人治理如何以一种相互加强的方式共同发展。

How do private companies shape responses to migration in Europe? Informality, organizational decisions, and transnational change 私营企业如何影响欧洲对移民的反应?非正式、组织决策和跨国变革

This article takes an actor-centered and bottom-up perspective to analyze how private companies shape public responses to migration in Europe. It builds on ethnographic research with top managers and civil servants involved in visa policy, asylum reception, and immigration detention. Drawing on organizational theories about decisions and change, I analyze empirical evidence to put forward processes of international migration governance that take account of private and public actors, the implementation stage of policy-making, the organizational and informal dynamics underpinning decisions and change within and across borders of polity, therefore adopting a transnational lens. I show three interrelated aspects: Personal contacts, informal interactions, and informal exchange that promote private companies' business while affecting change in the delivery of public policies; private companies' involvement in decision-making and their engagement in solution-driven processes of change; the diffusion of organizational responses to migration across national contexts, which contribute to transnational change.
本文采用以行动者为中心和自下而上的视角来分析私营公司如何影响欧洲公众对移民的反应。它以涉及签证政策、庇护接待和移民拘留的高级管理人员和公务员的民族志研究为基础。借鉴关于决策和变革的组织理论,我分析了经验证据,提出了考虑到私人和公共行为者的国际移民治理过程,政策制定的实施阶段,支持决策的组织和非正式动态以及政体内部和跨境的变化,因此采用了跨国视角。我展示了三个相互关联的方面:个人接触、非正式互动和非正式交流,它们促进了私营公司的业务,同时影响了公共政策实施的变化;私营公司对决策的参与及其对解决方案驱动的变革过程的参与;跨国家背景下对移民的组织反应的扩散,这有助于跨国变化。

I show three interrelated aspects: Personal contacts, informal interactions, and informal exchange that promote private companies' business while affecting change in the delivery of public policies; private companies' involvement in decision-making and their engagement in solution-driven processes of change; the diffusion of organizational responses to migration across national contexts, which contribute to transnational change.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"8 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50164701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the last decade, there has been increased interest in understanding the design (i.e., content) of regulation as a basis for studying regulation formation, implementation, and outcomes. Within this line of research, scholars have been particularly interested in investigating regulatory dynamics relating to features and patterns of regulatory text and have engaged a variety of methodological approaches to support their assessments. One approach featured in this research is the Institutional Grammar (IG). The IG supports syntactic and semantic analyses of institutional statements (e.g., regulatory provisions) that embed within regulatory text. A recently revised version—called the IG 2.0—further supports robust analyses of regulatory text by offering an expanded feature set particularly well-suited to extracting and classifying content relevant for the study of regulation. This paper (i) provides a brief introduction to the IG 2.0 and (ii) discusses theoretical and analytical advantages of using the IG 2.0 to study regulation.
在过去的十年中,人们对理解监管的设计(即内容)越来越感兴趣,并将其作为研究监管形成、实施和结果的基础。在这方面的研究中,学者们特别感兴趣的是调查与监管文本的特征和模式相关的监管动态,并采用了各种方法方法来支持他们的评估。这项研究的一个特点是制度语法(IG)。IG支持嵌入监管文本的机构声明(例如,监管条款)的句法和语义分析。最近修订的版本-称为IG 2.0 -通过提供特别适合于提取和分类与监管研究相关的内容的扩展功能集,进一步支持对监管文本的强大分析。本文(i)简要介绍了IG 2.0, (ii)讨论了使用IG 2.0研究监管的理论和分析优势。
