Abstract The melamine scandal of 2008 has caused significant consumer distrust on milk safety in China. Thus, the rebuilding of consumers’ trust towards Chinese milk safety has emerged as a key issue for governance in the dairy industry. Based on the trustee- and trustor-centric perspectives, it shows that existing studies ignore that trustees and trustors are interdependent in the dairy system. The examination of milk safety issues in isolation hinders effective rebuilding of trust and milk safety governance in China. In this review, we investigate both the current government and corporate actions (trustees) to assure milk safety and multiple factors that influence consumers’ trust (trustors) on milk safety in China. Our analysis revealed that the Chinese government and dairy corporates have adopted various measures to improve milk safety, and gradually introduced broader interventions to recover consumers’ trust in Chinese milk. However, to fully recover consumers’ trust and meet their expectations, consumers need to be engaged in the processes of milk safety governance.

Abstract The current understanding of platform expansion is based upon the experience of US West Coast firms. China, with its largely protected but enormous internal market, provides an ideal ‘experiment’ for examining how platform business models might develop different evolutionary trajectories in different environments. Based upon a study of the two largest platform firms, Tencent and Alibaba, and the far smaller but dominant Chinese online travel agency platform, Trip.com, we demonstrate that a different business model has emerged in China. In contrast to the West Coast model—in which the expansion occurs through internal development and introduction, acquisition, and venture capital investment—Chinese firms have employed two other strategies. The first is listing some of their existing operations separately on the stock market (what we term a ‘sell off’) but not giving up control. The second strategy is interfirm cross investments. The use of these two strategies has led to the formation of an organizational form, that we term the ‘platform business group (PBG)’, which extends and transforms the existing Chinese business group model. We discuss the environmental conditions that enable PBGs to pursue business strategies in a different manner than their Western counterparts and to identify the key conditions that allowed the PBG model to develop. Our extension of platform studies to China enriches and extends theoretical and practical understanding of Chinese platforms. Finally, we discuss the difficulties that PBG firms face in employing their business model internationally.

Abstract Political representation centers on who claims to represent what and the extent to which the audience feels being represented. The mainstream body of scholarship on political representation has focused on electoral-based representation in the context of liberal-democratic settings. China provides an excellent case to study the phenomenon of non-electoral forms of political representation. This article seeks to address the question of how do the Chinese authorities enhance political representation by public deliberation in social welfare policy? Drawing on first-hand official documents and interview accounts from fieldwork conducted in Guangxi and Hubei, as well as secondary data sources, this article undertakes a mechanism-based comparative case study of these two localities, examining the different forms of citizen deliberation in poverty alleviation programs. It reveals that the party regime has developed an increasingly sophisticated set of strategies in establishing representation by deliberative consultation. Furthermore, two distinctive forms of deliberative representation, the state-authoritative model and the light-empowered model can be discerned from the different deliberative participatory experiences of Guangxi and Hubei. The deliberative elements introduced into the poverty alleviation program demonstrate that with a deeper and more consequential engagement of the citizens in welfare policy decision making, there can be an empowered form of political representation generated even in a non-electoral setting.

Abstract How do actors develop entrepreneurial activities to bring about policy change? To what extent do the contexts in which they are embedded shape their behaviors? Relying on three comparative case studies, we use the structure-, institution- and agent-based analytical framework to investigate the complex and dynamic interactions between contexts and actors in the process of policy change initiated by state actors in authoritarian China. We propose a conceptual framework, ‘policy entrepreneurship under hierarchy’, which highlights the influence of power domination during the policy change process. It allows us to offer a renewed definition of policy entrepreneur and to identify a pattern of successful policy entrepreneurship in contrast to the ‘four central elements’ suggested by Mintrom and Nomann. We conclude that hierarchical policy entrepreneurship in China is displayed through two kinds of relationship: the proposal-approval between policy entrepreneurs and their superiors; and the instruction-execution between policy entrepreneurs and their subordinates.

Abstract This article discusses the potential of social media platforms to promote the accountability of civil society representatives with seats in participatory institutions in Brazil. Various scholars have cited digital platforms as mechanisms for improving the contact between representatives and their constituencies in situations where formal authorization has not occurred. Yet, little research empirically tests the assumptions that civil society representation is democratized by the adoption of these tools. This article contributes to this debate by presenting the concept of digital accountability and the results of qualitative research on National Policy Councils in Brazil responsible for Health and Social Assistance Policies. The study is based on content analysis of Facebook posts published by those councils between 2016 and 2018, and on semi-structured interviews with the managers of council Facebook pages. It argues that three factors explain the different uses of social media by the Councils: the history of participation in each public policy, the platform operators’ perception of the role of social media in the representative process, and the technical support available. These factors may also help to understand the different ways other institutions use digital media and, more broadly, the challenges in connecting non-electoral representatives to their potential constituencies.

Abstract Using the data of Chinese foundations, this research analyses the relationship between board interlocking network centrality and the performance of Chinese foundations. The result shows that the closeness centrality has a positive impact on their income and public welfare expenditure. In addition, the effect of closeness centrality is strengthened in non-public fund-raising foundations. However, degree and betweenness centrality have no effect on their performance. These findings demonstrate that board interlocking networks play an undoubtedly important role, and that foundations should actively establish and expand board interlocking networks to access all kinds of resources, achieve complementary advantages, and thus enhance their organizational capacity and performance.

Abstract Under what configuration of factors does administrative reform improve a business environment? What role does administrative burden play in government-business interactions? This article approaches these questions by examining the configuration of administrative reforms in the Chinese context and exploring administrative burden reduction through a new analytic framework. By analyzing provincial empirical data with the fsQCA method, we found that administrative reform could help improve a business environment by way of three pathways: the balance-developed path, the reform-oriented path, and the resource-driven path. Promoting a business environment is plural rather than singular. And, administrative burden reduction is the mechanism underlying this process. This configuration study of administrative reform and business environment construction in China not only adds to our understanding of administrative burden theory but also offers practitioners several pathways towards a higher quality business environment.

Abstract China is an intellectually overwhelming paradox within development thinking. On the one hand, it is regarded as an economic powerhouse pushing forward decades of sustained growth, which even during major global crises, such as the Corona-epidemic and the 2008 Financial Crisis, bounced back with significant resilience. On the other hand, it appears burdened with all of the ‘wrong’ institutions: informal, insecure, and autocratic. This collection of papers posits that the paradox is no contradiction when understood through an alternative, theoretical lens: the function of institutions precedes form when trying to understand institutional performance. Thus, whether institutions are formal or informal, public or private, democratic or autocratic, is of secondary importance to the manner in which they function over time and space. To examine this hypothesis, known as the ‘credibility thesis’, the collection examines China’s institutions that govern: 1) capital; 2) technology; 3) land, and; 4) labor; in effect, state-owned banks, collective firms, corporate law and securities, patents and intellectual property rights, environmental bans, and the civil registration or hukou system. In so doing, it not only falsifies the widely prevalent assumption that institutional form determines performance, but concurrently, validates the applicability of the credibility thesis over widely varying sectors and assets.
