We construct scientific research cooperation networks in the field of public management to provide empirical support for exploring the trend in cooperation in the public administration domain. Based on the SSCI database, the co-authored papers in the field of public administration from 1921 to 2022 are selected as data sources. Ucient software is used to visualize the cooperation networks of countries, cities, institutions, and authors in public administration research, and to explore the spatial structure and driving factors of cooperation networks at different levels. The country-level cooperation in public administration research is closely related to geographical location and is affected by regional agreements to some extent. London and Washington are located at the center of the global public administration cooperation network, and the city-level cooperation network is affected by south–north differentiation and the east–west gap in global economic development and thus exhibits significant non-equilibrium. The institutions in the United Kingdom, America, and Canada are the main forces of international cooperation in the field of public administration and accordingly occupy a dominant position in cooperation networks. The authors’ collaboration network in the public administration research shows strong centrality.

Human vaccination is a complex process that engages social actors, products, infrastructures, and ideology. We explore the role of trust in the healthcare system for immunization with the seasonal influenza vaccine. We use data from a probabilistic national representative survey among Romanian adults 18 years old or older (n = 2115) fielded in 2019. Binary logistic regression modeling shows that probability of vaccinating against seasonal influenza is higher when the participants trust the overall healthcare system [Odds Ratio = 1.36, p ≤ 0.001], discussed, and gathered information about vaccines [OR = 3.12, p ≤ 0.001], had positive evaluations of the vaccination services [OR = 2.19, p ≤ 0.001], and evaluate today’s vaccine as being safer [OR = 3.05, p ≤ 0.001] or at least as safe [OR = 2.11, p ≤ 0.001] than those from the past. Results suggest that trust in the family physicians is built through personal experiences with them which can be easily adjusted in contrast with overall trust in the healthcare system. Increasing the quality of vaccines and vaccination and emphasizing vaccines’ benefits and safety is not sufficient but just the tip of the iceberg; the entire healthcare system needs a serious facelift which will make it trustworthy.
人类疫苗接种是一个涉及社会参与者、产品、基础设施和意识形态的复杂过程。我们探讨了信任医疗系统在季节性流感疫苗免疫接种中的作用。我们使用的数据来自 2019 年对罗马尼亚 18 岁及以上成年人（n = 2115）进行的概率性全国代表性调查。二元逻辑回归模型显示，当参与者信任整个医疗保健系统[Odds Ratio = 1.36,p ≤ 0.001]、讨论并收集有关疫苗的信息时，接种季节性流感疫苗的概率较高[OR = 3.12, p ≤ 0.001]，对疫苗接种服务有积极评价[OR = 2.19,p ≤ 0.001]，并认为现在的疫苗比过去的疫苗更安全[OR = 3.05, p ≤ 0.001]或至少同样安全[OR = 2.11, p ≤ 0.001]。结果表明，对家庭医生的信任是通过与他们的个人经历建立起来的，与对医疗系统的整体信任相比，这种信任很容易调整。提高疫苗和疫苗接种的质量以及强调疫苗的益处和安全性还远远不够，这只是冰山一角；整个医疗保健系统需要认真整容，使其值得信赖。

The purpose of this study is to analyze the short and long run causal relationship between public health expenditure and GDP per capita in transition economies within the context of the Wagner hypothesis. For the period 2000-2020, the empirical analysis was conducted using a dataset covering 22 transition countries: Latvia, Belarus, Czechia, Georgia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Estonia, Croatia, Moldova, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, Ukraine, Armenia, Lithuania, Russian Federation, Slovak Republic, Romania, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyz Republic, and Kazakhstan. Wagner emphasizes that increases in government expenditure, considered an endogenous variable, do not drive GDP growth. In essence, Wagner argues that a rise in GDP leads to an increase in government expenditures. The study assessed the validity of Wagner’s hypothesis by applying the Panel Cross-Sectionally Augmented Autoregressive Distributed Lag model (CS-ARDL), developed by Chudik et al. (2016), using annual data. For the empirical analysis, panel data from selected transition countries underwent causality tests proposed by Juodis, Karavias and Sarafidis (2021) and Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012). The stationarity of the series was assessed using a panel unit root test. Subsequently, the panel cointegration test developed by Westerlund (2007) was employed to ascertain the long run cointegration of the variables in the subsequent phase. The results suggest that the Wagner hypothesis holds true within the context of transition countries, as indicated by the outcomes of the CS-ARDL model. The causality test revealed a one-way causal linkage between GDP per capita and health expenditure. Recommendations for those who make policy decisions were made in light of the findings.

This study analyzes the monitoring of public procurement contracts’ performance in six countries under EU public procurement rules: Finland, Portugal, Slovenia, Italy, Hungary, and Serbia. Through an in-depth comparative analysis, we explore the nexus between perceived corruption in these countries and the contract performance monitoring systems established or in the making. The analysis centers on four key aspects: the organizational framework, the redress system, the IT infrastructure, and the level of data publicity in each country’s procurement landscape. Expert evaluations conducted by national specialists unveil which countries pay less attention to public contract performance monitoring and transparency. Our findings indicate that countries facing higher corruption rates tend to place greater emphasis on transparency and contract performance monitoring. Moreover, countries greatly differ in their organizational setup, objectives, and monitoring tools, including IT adoption. The insights derived from this study can influence policy and reform efforts focused on the contract phase of public procurement, leading to a more accountable and efficient procurement landscape across Europe.

The main objective of the study is to analyze the significance of the determinants of child poverty before and after social transfers and to assess how child poverty differs from adult poverty. In the empirical part of the study, the panel data analysis method is used for a total of 12 years and 31 European countries between 2006-2017. The main findings of the study show that GINI coefficient, per capita income, female employment, household size and property status of the dwelling are significant determinants of child poverty. The empirical finding reveals that in the selected countries, the impact of social transfers in reducing child poverty is more limited than the impact of social transfers in reducing adult poverty and that social protection programs should be designed and implemented more intensively to reduce child poverty. The study suggests that to combat child poverty in EU countries, it is necessary to review social programs that focus on child inequality programs in a multi-sectoral framework with a view to designing more effective public policies

Administrative decisions can be influenced not only by policies formulated by elected representatives but also by various external actors. From classic elitist and pluralist theories of community power to urban regime and network governance concepts, academic studies tell us that several institutional and individual actors with no electoral democratic legitimacy may have a significant impact on local government decision-making. In our paper, we ask the question who they are in contemporary Polish cities. Are there any systematic regularities in this respect concerning e.g. how they differ depending on the size of the local community? In this paper we look at the phenomenon through the lens of citizens’ perception of the influence on important administrative decisions made in local governments. In this research, we also check whether the style of local political leadership perceived by citizens is reflected in their expectations toward the propensity of local authorities to consider the opinions. Data is collected through a survey conducted on a representative sample of 2,000 Polish citizens who were asked about their perception of the impact of various business and societal actors. The study uses the survey experiment method in which various formulations of the question are randomly assigned to individual respondents, which allows us to measure the perceived influence of individual types of actors. Referring to the recent debate on the limitation of the applicability of regime theory to large cities only, we place a special attention to the impact of city size on the role of big and small businesses as well as various societal organizations.

This article takes into consideration local action groups (LAGs) in the European Union and Romania in particular, in terms of resources needed, resources used, and measured impact on public services, infrastructures, and quality of life. Previous research showed that the impact of LAGs is difficult to assess due to weak links between actions and objectives and also due to different benchmarking. Romania absorbs EU funds for agriculture and rural development, however, the administrative, preparatory, and project costs are high, raising certain questions about LAGs’ genuine productivity and performance. This article provides clarity on LAGs’ costs and benefits, by mapping out a state of play of LAGs and comparing findings with expert opinions. Policy formulation and recommendations conclude this research.
本文从所需资源、所用资源以及对公共服务、基础设施和生活质量的影响等方面，对欧盟，尤其是罗马尼亚的地方行动团体（LAGs）进行了研究。以往的研究表明，由于行动与目标之间的联系薄弱，也由于基准不同，LAGs 的影响难以评估。罗马尼亚吸收了欧盟用于农业和农村发展的资金，但行政、筹备和项目成本较高，这使人们对 LAG 的真正生产力和绩效产生了一定的疑问。本文通过描绘 LAGs 的运行状况，并将研究结果与专家意见进行比较，明确了 LAGs 的成本和效益。政策制定和建议是本研究的结论。

Social turbulence differs from social change when societies experience relatively unusual or dramatic internal and/ or external discord and pressure to change (Sztompka, 2000; Weinstein, 2010; Harper and Leicht, 2018). As long as there has been social governance, groups, tribes, and nations have experienced turbulence from time to time (Chua, 2019; Drews, 1995). Turbulence in social processes varies greatly in sources, intensity, and perspective (Tarrow, 2022). This essay reviews the fundamental aspects of social turbulence in order to frame current issues creating contemporary turbulence, and in this essay, we pay special attention to internal turbulence trends by providing examples in various types of governments from autocratic to democratically oriented.
社会动荡不同于社会变革，社会动荡是指社会经历相对异常或剧烈的内部和/或外部不和谐和变革压力（Sztompka，2000；Weinstein，2010；Harper and Leicht，2018）。只要存在社会治理，群体、部落和国家就会不时经历动荡（Chua，2019；Drews，1995）。社会进程中的动荡在来源、强度和角度上都有很大不同（Tarrow，2022 年）。本文回顾了社会动荡的基本方面，以框定当前造成当代动荡的问题。在本文中，我们特别关注内部动荡的趋势，提供了从专制到民主导向的各类政府中的实例。

Europe and North America are facing demographic changes with an aging population and declining birth rates. This has implications for the labor market and the workforce of the future. An existential crisis for public institutions is that the public sector is no longer the employer of choice. The public sector is already facing challenges in recruitment, filling vacancies with competent and talented personnel, and retaining public servants. The paradigm shifts in the state from public administration to new public management and new public governance in part underlies this declining interest in public service with the introduction of neo-liberal public sector reforms over the decades, downsizing of the state, relatively lower pay, and various austerity measures. The article revisits these paradigm shifts of the state, providing a review and discussing the impact of these shifts. Furthermore, the article argues for a new paradigm shift. A New Public Service Bargain, which recognizes and values public service because it is the human resource capacity of the state that is key to addressing crises, wicked policy problems and turbulent times.
