This article reports findings of a Q Methodology study in which we explored the opinions of employees from eight Dutch regulatory agencies on how agencies gain their reputation. This is the largest study to date examining employee's views on the relative importance of different factors in reputation acquisition by public organizations, and the first analyzing employees in regulatory agencies. Results reveal five distinct “profiles” of opinion among employees about the factors most important in reputation acquisition. Regression analysis, further, supports that different regulatory agencies are dominated by employees with different opinions on how reputation is formed. These findings contribute to the growing empirical literature on how regulatory agencies, and their various employees, understand and approach reputation management.
本文报告了一项 Q 方法研究的结果,在这项研究中,我们探讨了荷兰八个监管机构的员工对机构如何获得声誉的看法。这是迄今为止规模最大的一次研究,考察了员工对公共组织声誉获得过程中不同因素相对重要性的看法,也是首次对监管机构员工进行分析。研究结果显示,员工对声誉获得中最重要因素的看法有五种截然不同的 "特征"。回归分析进一步证明,不同监管机构的员工对声誉如何形成持有不同观点。这些发现为越来越多的关于监管机构及其不同员工如何理解和对待声誉管理的实证文献做出了贡献。

Trust is expected to play a vital role in regulatory regimes. However, how trust affects the performance and legitimacy of these regimes is poorly understood. Our study examines how the interplay of trust and distrust relationships among and toward political, administrative, and regulatory actors shapes perceptions of performance and legitimacy. Drawing on cross-country survey data measuring trust and distrust among various actors within regulatory regimes, our analysis reveals that relationships of watchful trust in terms of a “trust but verify” attitude among actors are conducive to higher regulatory performance. Conversely, the combination of high trust with low distrust fosters regime legitimacy, while high levels of watchfulness even have a detrimental impact on legitimacy. Our research underscores that actors within regulatory regimes adopt a logic of consequentiality when evaluating and contributing to regime performance. In contrast, for fostering regime legitimacy, a logic of appropriateness appears to be more relevant.
信任有望在监管制度中发挥重要作用。然而,人们对信任如何影响这些制度的绩效和合法性却知之甚少。我们的研究探讨了政治、行政和监管行为者之间的信任和不信任关系如何相互作用,从而形成对绩效和合法性的看法。我们的分析利用跨国调查数据来衡量监管制度中不同行为者之间的信任和不信任关系,结果表明,行为者之间 "信任但要核实 "的谨慎信任关系有利于提高监管绩效。相反,高信任度与低不信任度的结合会促进制度的合法性,而高水平的警惕性甚至会对合法性产生不利影响。我们的研究强调,监管制度中的行为者在评估和促进制度绩效时采用的是后果逻辑。相比之下,在促进制度合法性方面,适当性逻辑似乎更为重要。

Cooperative forms of policy implementation bear the promise of being an answer to the policy delivery challenge resulting from policy growth, with the quality of network management often rated as a key success factor. The positive relationship between network management and performance in networks, however, is primarily supported by theoretical reasoning rather than empirical evidence. The present study empirically investigates this relationship in the context of rapid policy growth resulting from a change in the governance structure in the field of smoking prevention in Switzerland. The results of the analyzed 13 Swiss smoking prevention networks and the 187 associated projects show that network management improves the performance of new policy projects by facilitating access to implementing partners and target groups, but has no impact on output delivery in existing interventions. The study shows that networks, if actively managed, can be a means to ensure adequate enforcement in the context of increasing numbers of new policies.
合作形式的政策实施有望成为应对政策增长所带来的政策执行挑战的答案,而网络管理的质量往往被视为成功的关键因素。然而,网络管理与网络绩效之间的积极关系主要是由理论推理而非经验证据支持的。本研究以瑞士预防吸烟领域的治理结构变化导致政策快速增长为背景,对这种关系进行了实证调查。对 13 个瑞士预防吸烟网络和 187 个相关项目的分析结果表明,网络管理通过促进与实施伙伴和目标群体的联系,提高了新政策项目的绩效,但对现有干预措施的产出交付没有影响。研究表明,在新政策数量不断增加的情况下,网络如果得到积极管理,可以成为确保充分执行的一种手段。

Governance transference and shifting capacities and expectations in multi-stakeholder initiatives 多方利益攸关方倡议中的治理转移以及能力和期望的转变

The governing attributes of authority, legitimacy, and accountability are essential to any type of governance to be able to function effectively. For public forms of governing, the attributes are part of the structures and institutions of democratic states, for example, through the tripartition of power, voting, and legal structures. For private forms of governance, such as multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs), these attributes need to be built or attained. This paper sets out to examine how MSIs increase their governing capacity through public–private interactions. Empirically, the paper investigates two national MSIs in mining: the Finnish Sustainable Mining Network and the Chilean Dialogo Territorial. I find that as part of the interactions within the governance sphere of mining, the roles, governance capacity, and expectations toward public and private actors are rearranged. I propose the term “governance transference” to denote the shift of authority, legitimacy, and accountability from one governing body to another. This phenomenon occurs through three mechanisms: lending legitimacy, emulating decision-making, and enmeshing expectations. The findings extend the previous literature on the outcomes of public–private governance interactions and governance spheres.
权威、合法性和问责制这些治理属性对于任何类型的治理有效运作都是必不可少的。对于公共治理形式而言,这些属性是民主国家结构和制度的一部分,例如,通过三权分立、投票和法律结构。对于私人治理形式,如多方利益相关者倡议(MSIs),这些属性需要建立或实现。本文旨在研究 MSI 如何通过公私互动提高其治理能力。本文从经验出发,调查了两个国家的矿业 MSI:芬兰的可持续矿业网络和智利的 "领土对话"(Dialogo Territorial)。我发现,作为矿业治理领域内互动的一部分,公私行为者的角色、治理能力和期望都发生了重新安排。我提出了 "治理转移 "一词,以表示权力、合法性和问责制从一个治理机构转移到另一个治理机构。这种现象通过三种机制发生:提供合法性、效仿决策和啮合期望。研究结果扩展了以往关于公私治理互动结果和治理领域的文献。

Disentangling Leviathan on its home turf: Authority foundations, policy instruments, and the making of security 在利维坦的主战场上与利维坦划清界限:权力基础、政策工具和安全的形成

Making security has been Leviathan's home turf and its prime responsibility. Yet, while security states in advanced democracies share this uniform purpose, there is vast variation in how they legitimize and how they make security policies. First, the political authority of elected policy‐makers is sometimes superseded by the epistemic authority of experts. Second, states make security, in some instances, by drawing on their own capacities, whereas in other fields they rely on rules to manage non‐state actors. Based on this variation in authority foundations and policy instruments, we disentangle Leviathan into different types of (i) positive, (ii) managing, (iii) technocratic, and (iv) regulatory security states. Our typology helps better understand contemporary security policy‐making; it advances regulatory governance theory by conceptualizing the relationship between expertise and rules in a complex and contested issue area; and it provides insights into the “new economic security state” and the domestic underpinnings of weaponized interdependence.
保障安全一直是利维坦的主场和首要职责。然而,尽管先进民主国家的安全国家都有这一统一的目标,但它们在如何使安全政策合法化以及如何制定安全政策方面却存在巨大差异。首先,民选决策者的政治权威有时会被专家的认识权威所取代。其次,在某些情况下,国家通过利用自身能力来制定安全政策,而在其他领域,国家则依靠规则来管理非国家行为者。基于权威基础和政策工具的这种差异,我们将利维坦划分为 (i) 积极安全国家、(ii) 管理安全国家、(iii) 技术官僚安全国家和 (iv) 监管安全国家等不同类型。我们的类型学有助于更好地理解当代安全政策的制定;通过概念化一个复杂而有争议的问题领域中专业知识与规则之间的关系,它推进了监管治理理论;它为 "新经济安全国家 "和武器化相互依存的国内基础提供了见解。

How does regulatory statehood develop from the regulatory work which governments have always done? This article challenges conventional views that regulatory statehood is achieved by transition to arm's length agencies and that it replaces court‐based enforcement or displaces legislatures in favor of less accountable executive power. To do so, we examine the major 19th‐century surge in development of micro‐economic regulatory statehood in Britain, which had followed more gradual development in early modern times. We show that when the transformation of the Board of Trade is understood properly, a richer appreciation emerges of how regulatory statehood is institutionalized generally and of British state‐making in particular. To demonstrate this, we introduce a novel conceptual framework for analyzing and assessing change on multiple dimensions of regulatory statehood, distinguishing depth of regulatory capacity and regulatory capability along six dimensions.
监管国家是如何从政府一直在做的监管工作中发展起来的?本文对传统观点提出了质疑,传统观点认为监管国家是通过过渡到独立机构来实现的,监管国家取代了以法院为基础的执法,或取代了立法机构,转而由问责性较低的行政权力取代。为此,我们考察了 19 世纪英国微观经济监管国家地位的重大发展浪潮,而这一浪潮在近代早期是渐进式发展的。我们表明,如果能正确理解贸易委员会的转变,就能对监管国家的制度化方式,特别是英国的国家决策有更丰富的认识。为了证明这一点,我们引入了一个新颖的概念框架,用于分析和评估监管国家多个维度的变化,从六个维度区分监管能力的深度和监管能力。

Unraveling how intermediary-beneficiary interaction shapes policy implementation 解读中介机构与受益人之间的互动如何影响政策实施

As a result of policy growth, implementing agencies often face new mandates without the necessary capacity expansion to comply with, thus resorting to intermediaries. However, intermediaries are not innocuous to the implementation process, especially when they are expected to play the double role of target and intermediary, responsible for translating/interpreting regulation for beneficiaries. How does the interaction between beneficiaries and intermediaries-target shape policy implementation? I argue that such interaction is not only determined by the role the intermediary adopts, and their relation with the beneficiary, but also by the motivations beneficiaries have for engaging in the regulatory process, and their capacity to do so. I develop a theoretical framework for understanding their interaction and apply it to a new regulatory policy in Mexico to provide social security for paid domestic workers. I explore the mechanisms by which the interaction between intermediaries and beneficiaries affects the outcome of the regulatory process.
由于政策的增长,执行机构往往面临新的任务,但又没有必要的能力来履行这些任 务,因此只能求助于中介机构。然而,中介机构在执行过程中并不是无足轻重的,尤其是当它们要扮演目标和中介的双重角色,负责为受益人翻译/解释法规时。受益人与中介-目标之间的互动如何影响政策的实施?我认为,这种互动不仅取决于中介所扮演的角色及其与受益人的关系,还取决于受益人参与监管过程的动机及其能力。我建立了一个理论框架来理解他们之间的互动,并将其应用于墨西哥的一项新监管政策,为有偿家政工人提供社会保障。我探讨了中介机构和受益人之间的互动影响监管过程结果的机制。

Why data about people are so hard to govern 为什么关于人的数据如此难以管理

How data on individuals are gathered, analyzed, and stored remains largely ungoverned at both domestic and global levels. We address the unique governance problem posed by digital data to provide a framework for understanding why data governance remains elusive. Data are easily transferable and replicable, making them a useful tool. But this characteristic creates massive governance problems for all of us who want to have some agency and choice over how (or if) our data are collected and used. Moreover, data are co‐created: individuals are the object from which data are culled by an interested party. Yet, any data point has a marginal value of close to zero and thus individuals have little bargaining power when it comes to negotiating with data collectors. Relatedly, data follow the rule of winner take all—the parties that have the most can leverage that data for greater accuracy and utility, leading to natural oligopolies. Finally, data's value lies in combination with proprietary algorithms that analyze and predict the patterns. Given these characteristics, private governance solutions are ineffective. Public solutions will also likely be insufficient. The imbalance in market power between platforms that collect data and individuals will be reproduced in the political sphere. We conclude that some form of collective data governance is required. We examine the challenges to the data governance by looking a public effort, the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, a private effort, Apple's “privacy nutrition labels” in their App Store, and a collective effort, the First Nations Information Governance Centre in Canada.
在国内和全球范围内,如何收集、分析和存储个人数据在很大程度上仍然不受管理。我们探讨了数字数据带来的独特治理问题,为理解为什么数据治理仍然难以实现提供了一个框架。数据易于转移和复制,是一种有用的工具。但这一特点给我们所有人带来了巨大的治理问题,因为我们都希望对如何(或是否)收集和使用我们的数据拥有一定的代理权和选择权。此外,数据是共同创造的:个人是相关方从中获取数据的对象。然而,任何数据点的边际价值都接近于零,因此个人在与数据收集者谈判时几乎没有讨价还价的能力。与此相关的是,数据遵循赢家通吃的规则--拥有最多数据的一方可以利用这些数据获得更高的准确性和效用,从而形成天然的寡头垄断。最后,数据的价值在于与分析和预测模式的专有算法相结合。鉴于这些特点,私人治理解决方案是无效的。公共解决方案也很可能是不够的。收集数据的平台与个人之间市场力量的不平衡将在政治领域重现。我们的结论是,需要某种形式的集体数据治理。我们研究了数据治理所面临的挑战,包括公共努力--欧盟的《通用数据保护条例》、私人努力--苹果公司在其应用程序商店中的 "隐私营养标签",以及集体努力--加拿大的原住民信息治理中心。

Regulators are increasingly concerned about deceptive, online choice architecture, including dark patterns and behavioral sludge. From a behavioral science perspective, fostering a regulatory environment which reduces the economic harm caused by deceptive designs, while safeguarding the benefits of well‐meaning behavioral insights, is essential. This article argues for a principles‐based approach and proposes behavioral audits as a tool to support this approach.
监管机构越来越关注欺骗性的在线选择架构,包括黑暗模式和行为污泥。从行为科学的角度来看,营造一个既能减少欺骗性设计造成的经济损失,又能保护善意的行为洞察所带来的益处的监管环境至关重要。本文主张采用一种基于原则的方法,并建议将行为审计作为支持这种方法的一种工具。

The literature on responsive regulation argues that citizens should be involved in regulatory practices to avoid capture between regulator and regulatee. It also argues that including citizens can add an important perspective to regulatory practices. However, we know little about how citizens' perspectives are brought into regulatory practices. This paper draws on existing qualitative research to compare and analyze four cases of experimental participatory regulation in Dutch health care, focusing on the theoretical assumptions that citizen involvement (a) prevents capture, and (b) stimulates the inclusion of new perspectives. Our results show that involving citizens in regulation can increase transparency and trust in regulatory practices and familiarizes regulators with other perspectives. It is, however, up to the regulator to work on deriving benefits from that involvement—not only the practical work of organizing participatory regulation, but also the conceptual work of reflecting on their own assumptions and standards. We do find evidence for weak forms of capture and argue for the need to extend capture to involve multiple actors. We reflect on these results for theory development and regulatory practice.
关于顺应民意的监管的文献认为,公民应参与监管实践,以避免监管者和被监管者之间的 "俘虏"。文献还认为,公民的参与可以为监管实践增添重要的视角。然而,我们对如何将公民的观点引入监管实践知之甚少。本文借鉴了现有的定性研究,对荷兰医疗保健领域的四个参与式监管实验案例进行了比较和分析,重点关注以下理论假设:(a) 公民参与可防止俘获,(b) 公民参与可激发新观点的融入。我们的研究结果表明,公民参与监管可以提高监管实践的透明度和信任度,并使监管者熟悉其他观点。然而,监管者必须努力从这种参与中获益--不仅是组织参与式监管的实际工作,还有反思自身假设和标准的概念工作。我们确实发现了弱俘获形式的证据,并认为有必要扩大俘获范围,让多方参与进来。我们将对这些结果进行反思,以促进理论发展和监管实践。
