Seeking to derive lessons for future policy processes on how climate change concerns can be integrated into sectoral policies to expedite policy approval, we applied the Multiple Streams Framework to analyze the forces and dynamics at work in the policy process of Brazil's National Biofuel Policy (known as RenovaBio). Based on an analysis of 123 newspaper articles citing “RenovaBio” and eleven semistructured interviews with stakeholders from the fuel sector, the research findings suggest that attaching RenovaBio to the country's climate commitments helped to secure policy approval and decrease public opposition to it. On the other hand, having multiple objectives without a clear priority made policy direction more diffuse and vulnerable to criticisms. We also found that the existence of multiple policy entrepreneurs, in the different stages of the political process and with complementary skills, helped to speed the legislative process.
为了给未来的政策进程提供经验教训,即如何将气候变化问题纳入部门政策以加快政策审批,我们采用了 "多流框架 "来分析巴西国家生物燃料政策(又称 RenovaBio)政策进程中的各种力量和动态。根据对 123 篇引用 "RenovaBio "的报纸文章的分析,以及对燃料行业利益相关者的 11 次半结构式访谈,研究结果表明,将 RenovaBio 与巴西的气候承诺挂钩有助于确保政策获得批准,并减少公众的反对意见。另一方面,在没有明确优先事项的情况下制定多个目标,使得政策方向更加分散,容易受到批评。我们还发现,在政治进程的不同阶段存在多个政策企业家,他们的技能互补,有助于加快立法进程。

This study uses a vignette-based survey experiment for recycling programs in Korea to examine how different messages of a public information campaign as a policy instrument affect the attitudes and behaviors of citizens. It tests hypotheses based on construal-level theory, which suggests that people tend to be more affected by abstract messages under distant psychological conditions and by concrete messages under proximal psychological conditions. In contrast to the conventional assumption of construal-level theory, this study shows that people appear to be more affected by concrete and specific messages (mundane instructions for “how and what to recycle”) than by abstract messages (a noble vision and goal for “why to recycle”) under both distant and proximal conditions.
本研究通过对韩国回收利用项目的小故事调查实验,探讨了作为政策工具的公共宣传活动的不同信息如何影响公民的态度和行为。该理论认为,在遥远的心理条件下,人们往往更容易受到抽象信息的影响,而在近距离的心理条件下,人们则更容易受到具体信息的影响。与构念水平理论的传统假设相反,本研究表明,在远距离和近距离条件下,人们似乎更容易受到具体和特定信息(关于 "如何回收利用以及回收利用什么 "的平凡指示)的影响,而不是受到抽象信息(关于 "为什么要回收利用 "的崇高理想和目标)的影响。

Assessing participatory process-system linkages in polycentric water governance: Insights from WFD implementation in Germany 评估多中心水治理中的参与性过程-系统联系:德国实施 WFD 的启示

An important, although insufficiently answered, environmental governance research question concerns how exactly participation improves policy implementation at different scales. Numerous studies have highlighted important variables influencing the effectiveness of participatory processes. However, studies of participation tend to be strongly process-oriented rather than system-oriented and often overlook the reality that participatory processes are part of increasingly complex and broader decision-making systems. By analyzing particular process-system linkages, this paper contributes new knowledge regarding how participatory processes can influence decision-making in polycentric governance systems. This study focuses on the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive, which aims for good ecological and chemical status in all European waters, in six German states with varied polycentric decision-making structures. No direct decision-making power was found to be associated with any of the participatory processes themselves. Rather, the power remained embedded within the other established institutional structures. Nevertheless, the participatory processes did still intend to influence decision-making within those established structures through the aggregation and multiplication of information. The findings show that only a few representatives or a small proportion of the total number of decision-makers are involved in participatory processes. Therefore, those processes may either affect decisions directly due to the binding nature of the decisions taken within participatory processes or alternatively have effects through more complex and nuanced multiplication routes following the conclusion of each participatory process. Moreover, all of the participatory processes examined in this study were reliant to some extent on such multiplication mechanisms to amplify the effects on decisions throughout the overall polycentric governance system.
环境治理研究的一个重要问题是,参与究竟如何改善不同规模的政策实施,尽管这一问题尚未得到充分解答。许多研究都强调了影响参与过程有效性的重要变量。然而,对参与的研究往往强烈地以过程为导向,而不是以系统为导向,而且往往忽视了参与过程是日益复杂和广泛的决策系统的一部分这一现实。通过分析特定过程与系统之间的联系,本文就参与过程如何影响多中心治理系统中的决策贡献了新的知识。本研究重点关注欧盟《水框架指令》在德国六个州的实施情况,这些州具有不同的多中心决策结构,其目标是在所有欧洲水域实现良好的生态和化学状况。研究发现,任何参与过程本身都与直接决策权无关。相反,权力仍然蕴藏在其他既定的制度结构中。尽管如此,参与式进程仍然希望通过信息的汇集和传播来影响这些既定结构中的决策。研究结果表明,只有少数代表或决策者总数中的一小部分参与了参与式进程。因此,由于参与式进程中做出的决定具有约束性,这些进程可能会直接影响决策,或 者在每个参与式进程结束后,通过更加复杂和微妙的倍增途径产生影响。此外,本研究中考察的所有参与式进程都在一定程度上依赖于这种倍增机制,以扩大对整个多中心治理系统的决策的影响。

The onset of the European NGEU program represented for European member states a formidable opportunity for post-pandemic recovery and yet a significant challenge at the same time: to receive and retain EU funds, each state had to promptly draw up a National Recovery and Resilience Plan—NRRP) and commit to a pressing timetable for its implementation. Regarding this challenge, the Italian government's response is a case in point: first, Italy is by far the largest beneficiary of NGEU funds; second, it has long had a reputation for being laggard in both the implementation of European directives and the spending of cohesion policy structural funds; and the formulation of the NRRP, the design of the governance in charge of its implementation, and implementation itself, occurred at a particular moment in the country's political life. Based on these premises, the article examines the upstream process by which the Italian government designed the implementation arrangements for the adoption of simplification policies under the NRRP and their downstream recalibration in the first two years, taking the implementation arrangements as the dependent variable. Analytically, the focus is on the interplay between the pressures of EU timetables and internal political dynamics, be they the legacy or strategic political considerations on the part of national policymakers, in determining the design and eventual re-design of implementation arrangements as the plan unfolds.
欧洲 NGEU 计划的启动对欧洲各成员国来说,是疫后恢复的一个巨大机遇,但同时也是一个重大挑战:为了获得并留住欧盟的资金,每个国家都必须立即制定国家恢复和复原计划(National Recovery and Resilience Plan-NRRP),并承诺执行该计划的紧迫时间表。关于这一挑战,意大利政府的应对措施是一个很好的例子:首先,意大利是迄今为止国家重建与恢复计划资金的最大受益国;其次,长期以来,意大利在执行欧洲指令和使用凝聚力政策结构基金方面一直以落后著称;而且,国家重建与恢复计划的制定、负责其实施的管理机构的设计以及实施本身,都发生在该国政治生活中的一个特殊时刻。基于这些前提,文章以实施安排为因变量,考察了意大利政府在《国家改革与发展计划》下设计简化政策实施安排的上游过程及其在头两年的下游重新调整过程。分析的重点是欧盟时间表的压力和内部政治动态之间的相互作用,无论是国家政策制定者的遗留问题还是战略性政治考虑,都决定了随着计划的展开,实施安排的设计和最终重新设计。

The crisis triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic has challenged the socioeconomic systems of all European member states. To reduce the severe impact of the pandemic, the European Union has established a common fund for European states, launching therefore a social-economic recovery process. This fund was granted upon the submission of a programmatic plan of targets to be pursued within certain deadlines, appropriately assessed by the European Commission. Although the European Commission provided general guidelines for the elaboration of plans and the constitution of the multi-level governance of national recovery plans, each country followed its own institutional, political, economic, and social context. Thus, this article investigates the influencing factors on the implementation arrangements of research and innovation policies in four different contexts, geographically, historically, economically, and administratively, such as Italy and Spain as representatives of the Mediterranean model; France and Germany as representatives of the continental model. Findings confirm two main key factors, enriching the reference literature on implementation arrangements of public policies. Firstly, the actors' ability to join together in synergetic and cooperative networks is oriented towards achieving common goals. The second is the policy legacy, which still anchors actors in path dependencies, thus complicating their path diversion.
由 Covid-19 大流行病引发的危机对欧洲所有成员国的社会经济体系提出了挑战。为了减轻大流行病的严重影响,欧洲联盟为欧洲各国设立了一个共同基金,从而启动了社会经济复苏进程。该基金的发放条件是提交一份在一定期限内实现目标的方案计划,并由欧盟委员会进行适当评估。尽管欧盟委员会为计划的制定和国家恢复计划的多层次管理提供了一般指导原则,但每个国家都遵循其自身的制度、政治、经济和社会背景。因此,本文研究了在地理、历史、经济和行政等四个不同背景下研究与创新政策实施安排的影响因素,如作为地中海模式代表的意大利和西班牙;作为欧洲大陆模式代表的法国和德国。研究结果证实了两个主要关键因素,丰富了有关公共政策实施安排的参考文献。首先,行动者有能力共同组成协同合作网络,以实现共同目标。其次是政策遗产,它仍然使行动者处于路径依赖中,从而使他们的路径转移复杂化。

Blockchain is gaining popularity as a potential solution for the decentralized management of public information. A number of interesting solutions have been proposed by independent developers around the world to promote blockchain as a promising platform to potentially accelerate democratic processes and achieve certain public values in reforming digital governance. This could be reflected in facilitating direct citizen participation in digital politics, promoting greater civic cooperation and engagement in political discussions, boosting the role of civic commentary and even collaborative decision-making in e-government. In this regard, the article critically elaborates on the potential of this technology to promote political dimensions of public sector reforms in a post-positivist manner, resorting to the analysis of concrete e-participation cases in a number of public areas where the potential has already been realized and the opinions of professional software developers who are currently engaged in building various blockchain-driven data management solutions in the e-government area. This paper identifies, debates, and draws on what benefits and risks public policy can yield from the implementation of blockchain governance.
区块链作为公共信息分散管理的潜在解决方案正越来越受欢迎。世界各地的独立开发者提出了许多有趣的解决方案,以促进区块链作为一个有前途的平台,有可能加速民主进程,并在改革数字治理方面实现某些公共价值。这可以体现在促进公民直接参与数字政治,促进更多的公民合作和参与政治讨论,提高公民评论的作用,甚至在电子政务中的协作决策。在这方面,本文通过对一些已经实现潜力的公共领域的具体电子参与案例的分析,以及目前从事电子政务领域构建各种区块链驱动数据管理解决方案的专业软件开发人员的意见,批判性地阐述了该技术以后实证主义方式促进公共部门改革的政治层面的潜力。本文确定、讨论并借鉴了公共政策从实施区块链治理中可能产生的利益和风险。

Expertise for emerging technology: Information, prestige, and the Office of Technology Assessment 新兴技术的专业知识:信息、声望和技术评估办公室

Policy makers often struggle to adapt and respond to the uncertainties and ambiguities associated with new and emerging technologies. In such situations decision makers often widen their search for information and acquire more expertise in order to better define complex problems and to understand the potential consequences of proposed alternatives. I argue that acquiring information also carries social and symbolic value: having reports and other kinds of information provided to you signals that you are a policy maker important and influential enough to keep informed. The Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) provided the US Congress with nonpartisan reports on technology-related issues from 1972 until 1995 when its funding was zeroed out. Using data on all OTA reports published from 1974 to 1995, I find evidence that, while almost every committee requested at least one report, the reports largely were concentrated among a few committees in each chamber. The committees more likely to request reports also tended to be lower in prestige among members; acquiring OTA reports thus helped raise the committee leaders' profile on science and technology-related issues but was not directly related to the surrounding issue environment or immediate legislative efforts. OTA reports also were concentrated on a relatively small number of policy issues, which further suggests inequalities in the dynamics of expertise in policy making.
决策者往往难以适应和应对与新兴技术相关的不确定性和模糊性。在这种情况下,决策者往往扩大对信息的搜索,获得更多的专门知识,以便更好地界定复杂的问题,并了解所提出的替代方案的潜在后果。我认为获取信息还具有社会和象征价值:向你提供报告和其他类型的信息表明,你是一个重要的、有影响力的决策者,足以了解情况。从1972年到1995年,技术评估办公室(OTA)向美国国会提供了有关技术相关问题的无党派报告,直到其资金被归零。利用1974年至1995年出版的所有在线旅行社报告的数据,我发现证据表明,虽然几乎每个委员会都要求至少一份报告,但报告主要集中在每个分庭的几个委员会中。更有可能要求提交报告的委员会在成员中的声望也往往较低;因此,获取OTA报告有助于提高委员会领导人在科学和技术相关问题上的形象,但与周围的问题环境或立即的立法努力没有直接关系。在线咨询机构的报告也集中在相对较少的政策问题上,这进一步表明政策制定过程中专业知识的动态不平等。

Using data on all OTA reports published from 1974 to 1995, I find evidence that, while almost every committee requested at least one report, the reports largely were concentrated among a few committees in each chamber. The committees more likely to request reports also tended to be lower in prestige among members; acquiring OTA reports thus helped raise the committee leaders' profile on science and technology-related issues but was not directly related to the surrounding issue environment or immediate legislative efforts. OTA reports also were concentrated on a relatively small number of policy issues, which further suggests inequalities in the dynamics of expertise in policy making.","PeriodicalId":47408,"journal":{"name":"Review of Policy Research","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138519031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is among the first to examine the defining characteristics of Chinese authoritative experts and their roles in crisis policy response by integrating both institutional and multiple‐streams framework. The study argues that the defining characteristics of authoritative experts in China include standing as role models for the public, being adaptively embedded into the policy‐making system, and usually engaging in policy process by becoming a member of a formal experts group. Authoritative experts can act as problem brokers in the problem stream, as policy advocates in the policy stream, and as legitimacy enhancers in politics stream, depending on the nature and dynamics of the crisis and the socio‐political context. The theoretical argument was based on and supported by empirical evidence from China's COVID‐19 policy response in the early stage.
本研究首次通过整合制度框架和多流框架,研究了中国权威专家的定义特征及其在危机政策应对中的作用。研究认为,中国权威专家的定义特征包括作为公众的榜样、适应性地嵌入政策制定系统,以及通常通过成为正式专家组成员参与政策过程。根据危机的性质和动态以及社会政治背景,权威专家可以在问题流中充当问题经纪人,在政策流中充当政策倡导者,在政治流中充当合法性提升者。该理论论点基于中国 COVID-19 政策应对初期的经验证据,并得到了经验证据的支持。
