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。

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。

Understanding regulation using the Institutional Grammar 2.0 使用制度语法2.0理解法规
IF 3 2区 社会学 Q1 LAW Pub Date : 2023-07-31 DOI: 10.1111/rego.12546

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。

How do ultra-religious schools respond to state regulations that conflict with deep-rooted cultural norms? This study investigates this question in the context of Haredi boys schools' decisions regarding Israel's core-curriculum regulations. It draws on a first-of-its-kind dataset of interviews and school data collected from a representative sample of 82 principals and teachers in schools serving 18,000 students and six government inspectors overseeing dozens of schools. We identify isomorphic structures of compliance and noncompliance and analyze the law's role among the competing sources of schools' decisions. These sources include rabbis, nongovernmental network supervisors, private consultants, models set by other schools, resource constraints, parents, and personal opinions. The findings reveal a tension between the law's overarching role in setting the baseline for schools' decisions and its under-enforcement. We conceptualize this tension as a manifestation of coupled institutional maintenance, whereby ultra-religious schools and government inspectors collaborate to maintain schools' noncompliance and autonomy.
极端宗教学校如何应对与根深蒂固的文化规范相冲突的国家规定?本研究在哈瑞迪男校关于以色列核心课程规定的决定的背景下调查了这个问题。该报告利用了首个访谈数据集和学校数据,这些数据来自82名校长和教师的代表性样本,这些学校为1.8万名学生提供服务,还有六名监督数十所学校的政府检查员。我们确定了遵守和不遵守的同构结构,并分析了法律在学校决策的竞争来源中的作用。这些来源包括拉比、非政府网络监督者、私人顾问、其他学校设定的模式、资源限制、家长和个人意见。调查结果揭示了法律在为学校决策设定基准方面的首要作用与执行不力之间的紧张关系。我们将这种紧张关系概念化为耦合制度维护的表现,即极端宗教学校和政府检查员合作维护学校的不服从和自治。

Rhys Andrews, Malcolm J. Beynon
The “revolving door” between those at the top of public and private organizations has given rise to questions about the “pull” and “push” factors influencing public servants' switching into lucrative posts with companies they previously regulated. In this study, we investigate the departmental attributes associated with the movement of senior British civil servants into potentially controversial corporate jobs. To do so, we develop a configurational analysis of revolving door activity in UK government departments for 2015–2018 using panel-based fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). We identify a series of alternative departmental conditions' based pathways for taking up, or not taking up, a role in the private sector. In particular, more prestigious departments with high levels of pay and low levels of agencification are associated with revolving door activity, while departments with low levels of pay, high levels of agencification, and low levels of capital procurement tend to be associated with an absence of such activity.
公共和私营机构高层之间的“旋转门”引发了人们对公务员在他们以前监管的公司转到利润丰厚的职位的“拉”和“推”因素的质疑。在这项研究中,我们调查了与英国高级公务员进入可能有争议的公司工作相关的部门属性。为此,我们使用基于面板的模糊集定性比较分析(fsQCA)对2015-2018年英国政府部门的旋转门活动进行了配置分析。我们根据部门的情况,列出一系列在私营机构担任或不担任职务的途径。特别是,薪酬水平高、代理水平低的更有声望的部门与旋转门活动有关,而薪酬水平低、代理水平高、资本采购水平低的部门往往与缺乏这种活动有关。

Conceptualizing and measuring “punitiveness” in contemporary advanced democracies 当代发达民主国家“惩罚性”的概念和衡量
IF 3 2区 社会学 Q1 LAW Pub Date : 2023-07-11 DOI: 10.1111/rego.12533
Elizabeth Gordon Pfeffer
This article addresses a key political question regarding the relationship between states and their citizens: how harsh are judicial systems in their punishment of those who deviate from the law? Punitiveness is a fraught concept in the existing literature and robust measurement methods maximizing conceptual complexity are lacking. Here I develop a functional approach to punitiveness through a revised conceptualization and operationalization of this key variable while cautioning against the solitary use of incarceration rates to measure state intention. Punitiveness is conceptually disaggregated into three main components: (1) a commitment to punishment over rehabilitation, (2) the degree of harshness of response to crime (i.e., a longer sentence in prison), and (3) the lack of a logical progression of punishment based on the severity of crime committed or intent of the offender. These axes are further disaggregated into measurable indicators to build a novel index of punitiveness (P-Index) from the legal codes of 26 countries. Ultimately, this rules-as-data measure offers researchers purchase on the puzzling variation in punitiveness across contexts, which persists regardless of current and historical crime levels, offering particular utility for supply-side political-economic explanations.
这篇文章讨论了一个关于国家和公民之间关系的关键政治问题:司法系统对那些违反法律的人的惩罚有多严厉?在现有文献中,惩罚性是一个令人担忧的概念,缺乏最大化概念复杂性的稳健测量方法。在这里,我通过修订这一关键变量的概念化和操作化,开发了一种功能性的惩罚方法,同时警告不要单独使用监禁率来衡量国家意图。惩罚性在概念上分为三个主要组成部分:(1)对惩罚的承诺,而不是改造;(2)对犯罪反应的严厉程度(即,在监狱里服刑更长时间);(3)缺乏基于犯罪严重程度或罪犯意图的惩罚逻辑进展。这些轴被进一步分解为可测量的指标,以建立一个新的惩罚性指数(p指数),从26个国家的法典。最终,这种“规则即数据”的方法为研究人员提供了在不同背景下惩罚的令人困惑的变化,这种变化无论当前和历史的犯罪水平如何都存在,为供应方的政治经济解释提供了特别的效用。

Concepts and measures of bureaucratic constraints in European Union laws from hand-coding to machine-learning 欧盟法律中官僚约束的概念和措施,从手工编码到机器学习

Scholars employ two main measures of the executive constraints embedded in European Union laws: one is based on the variation in the use of different types of restrictions, and the second is based on the frequency of such use. They reflect two alternative conceptualizations of bureaucratic control. We label them, respectively, as the “toolbox perspective” and the “design perspective”. We illustrate that the constraint frequency measure poses fewer validity problems in estimating legislators' intent to constrain implementation and tends to produce less severe measurement errors. We then evaluate the performance in estimating constraint variation of a recent computational application and identify potential drawbacks of automated learning from hand-coded provisions.

学者们主要采用两种方法来衡量欧盟法律中隐含的行政约束:一种是基于不同类型限制的使用差异,另一种是基于这种使用的频率。它们反映了官僚控制的两种不同概念。我们分别将它们称为“工具箱透视图”和“设计透视图”。我们的研究表明,约束频率测量在估计立法者约束实施的意图方面存在较少的有效性问题,并且往往产生较少的严重测量误差。然后,我们评估了最近的计算应用程序在估计约束变化方面的性能,并确定了从手工编码条款中自动学习的潜在缺点。最后,我们介绍了一个基于立法者使用的语法结构的机器学习方法的框架,该框架可以提高这种创新技术的性能。

Introducing multiple layers of “independent” structures has become a go-to strategy for public agent oversight. The question remains whether such decentralized, overlapping structural arrangements of oversight reduce regulatory uncertainty and produce better policy outcomes. Using the case study of Ontario, Canada, I examine the consequences of institutional layering for the specific and broader goal of independent oversight and democratic policing, respectively. Semi-structured interviews with oversight officials and other key stakeholders as well as past governmental reports that led to the police oversight reform are analyzed to study the gap between the policy intention and outcome. I found that multiple “independent” investigatory agencies are meant to operate concurrently within an integrated system to ensure a responsive and comprehensive oversight system. However, their structural separation obstructs collaboration among the external agencies, causing various dysfunctional bureaucratic behaviors that undermine the overarching intention. The disconnect among different oversight authorities exacerbates their reliance on internal police-led procedures for all police misconduct inquiries. Implications of my research extend beyond policing and further the study of overlapping regulatory oversight and structural reform through institutional layering.
引入多层“独立”结构已成为公共代理监督的首选策略。问题在于,这种分散的、重叠的监管结构安排能否减少监管的不确定性,并产生更好的政策结果。通过对加拿大安大略省的案例研究,我分别考察了机构分层对独立监督和民主警务这一具体目标和更广泛目标的影响。本文分析了对监督官员和其他关键利益相关者的半结构化访谈,以及导致警察监督改革的过去政府报告,以研究政策意图与结果之间的差距。我发现,多个“独立”的调查机构应该在一个综合系统内同时运作,以确保一个反应迅速、全面的监督系统。然而,它们的结构性分离阻碍了外部机构之间的协作,导致各种功能失调的官僚行为,破坏了总体意图。不同监督机构之间的脱节加剧了它们对所有警察不当行为调查的内部警察主导程序的依赖。我的研究的影响超出了警务和进一步研究重叠的监管监督和结构改革,通过制度分层。
