Public accountability may involve dysfunction. However, few empirical studies explain when and how external accountability pressure and subsequent intraorganizational dynamics cause dysfunctions. To bridge this gap, using a case study method, we examined Japan’s public procurement after a series of scandals, focusing on the procurers’ cognition and behavior. First, we found that an administrative unit in a ministry leverages external pressure to enhance its power within the organization. Second, we identified bias toward procedural accountability rather than product accountability. Third, we noted the paradox that the excessive pursuit of procedural accountability undermines not only product accountability, but also procedural accountability.

公共问责可能涉及功能失调。然而，很少有实证研究解释外部问责压力和随后的组织内部动力学何时以及如何导致功能障碍。为了弥补这一差距，我们采用案例研究的方法，考察了一系列丑闻后的日本公共采购，重点关注采购人的认知和行为。首先，我们发现部内的行政单位利用外部压力来增强其在组织内的权力。其次，我们发现了对程序问责的偏见，而不是对产品问责的偏见。第三，我们注意到一个悖论，即过度追求程序问责不仅破坏了产品问责，也破坏了程序问责。

Amid crises of trust in government, the legitimacy of public organizations has never been more important. In this context, access to performance information ensures democratic control and thus legitimacy. However, performance evaluation is hindered by transaction costs in accessing and cognitive biases in interpreting performance. We examine two antecedents of citizen evaluations of performance: sector and bureaucratic reputation. Utilizing two experiments on a representative sample of Indian citizens, we situate our paper amid the increasing privatization of public services, and reputation management strategies used to influence performance evaluations. We discuss our findings and their implications for public management theory and practice.

在对政府的信任危机中，公共组织的合法性从未像现在这样重要。在这方面，获得业绩信息确保民主控制，从而确保合法性。然而，绩效评估受到获取交易成本和解释绩效的认知偏差的阻碍。我们研究了公民绩效评估的两个前提:部门和官僚声誉。利用对印度公民代表性样本的两个实验，我们将本文置于公共服务日益私有化和用于影响绩效评估的声誉管理策略之间。我们讨论了我们的发现及其对公共管理理论和实践的启示。

Over the last few decades, an increasing number of governments have promoted the setting up of so called “mini-publics” to integrate policymaking processes in an attempt to improve policy decisions. This phenomenon has highlighted the importance of mini-publics to become fully integrated in our democratic systems. By presenting the findings of empirical research conducted on 29 local mini-publics, this paper aims to explain how mini-public design elements can affect the capacity of mini-publics to trigger or hinder two key integration mechanisms: the social legitimation mechanism and the institutional collaboration mechanism.

在过去的几十年里，越来越多的政府推动建立所谓的“迷你公众”，以整合决策过程，试图改善决策。这一现象突出了微型公众充分融入我们民主制度的重要性。本文通过对29个地方微型公众的实证研究，旨在解释微型公共设计要素如何影响微型公众触发或阻碍两种关键整合机制的能力:社会合法化机制和制度协作机制。

This paper aims to understand the different resilience pathways local governments may take during moments of crisis, specifically focusing on the COVID-19 pandemic. Through survey responses from local administrations in Wallonia, Belgium, we consider how varied contexts led to different strategic resilience pathways. These pathways range from static (i.e., no strategy) to innovative change. Our findings highlight that digital technology solutions may play a role in supporting resilience across the different pathways. Therefore, we adapt strategic public management literature to suggest propositions for future research to test the specific role that digital technologies play in supporting resilience within local administrations.

本文旨在了解地方政府在危机时刻可能采取的不同抗灾途径，特别关注 COVID-19 大流行。通过比利时瓦隆地区地方政府的调查反馈，我们考虑了不同的环境如何导致不同的战略恢复途径。这些途径包括从静态（即无战略）到创新变革。我们的研究结果表明，数字技术解决方案可在支持不同路径的复原力方面发挥作用。因此，我们对战略公共管理文献进行了调整，为未来的研究提出了建议，以检验数字技术在支持地方行政机构复原力方面发挥的具体作用。

Despite being the richest and most prepared nation in the world, the U.S. responded badly to the COVID-19 crisis. This paper examines the nature of political control and the essence of bureaucratic failure for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an independent agency. In three case studies, we analyze the CDC's success in handling H1N1 and Ebola, and its failures on COVID-19. We find that the CDC suffered not only from political interference by the Trump Administration but also internal organizational problems that muted its ability to respond effectively. We conclude by offering policy prescriptions for addressing concerns of bureaucratic autonomy and success at the CDC.

尽管美国是世界上最富有、准备最充分的国家，但对新冠肺炎危机的反应却很糟糕。本文考察了美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)这一独立机构的政治控制的本质和官僚主义失败的本质。在三个案例研究中，我们分析了疾病预防控制中心在应对H1N1和埃博拉方面的成功，以及在应对COVID-19方面的失败。我们发现，疾控中心不仅受到特朗普政府的政治干预，而且还存在内部组织问题，削弱了其有效应对的能力。最后，我们提供了解决CDC官僚自治和成功问题的政策处方。

Public administration studies often fail to address the role of middle management in organizations. On the whole, most scholarship focuses on either top-level or street-level bureaucrats while the saliency of racial identity for management practices is an understudied phenomenon. Bridging the literatures on race in public administration and middle management, we argue that race is a significant component of managerial strategy. Utilizing a large-N dataset of school administrators, this analysis seeks to assess whether differences exist among mid-level managers. Specifically, this study addresses two questions. First, in what ways does middle manager strategy differ by race? Second, if such differences exist, how do they affect organizational performance? Preliminary findings suggest variation in management styles and policy preferences across racial groups. Moreover, race acts as a correlate of administrative and strategy choices, yet the overall impacts of these differential practices are mixed.

公共行政研究往往未能解决中层管理人员在组织中的作用。总的来说，大多数学者关注的是高层或街道级别的官僚，而管理实践中种族认同的显著性是一个研究不足的现象。将公共行政和中层管理中关于种族的文献联系起来，我们认为种族是管理战略的重要组成部分。利用学校管理人员的大N数据集，本分析试图评估中层管理人员之间是否存在差异。具体来说，这项研究解决了两个问题。首先，中层管理者的策略在哪些方面因种族而异？第二，如果存在这种差异，它们如何影响组织绩效？初步研究结果表明，不同种族群体的管理风格和政策偏好存在差异。此外，种族是行政和战略选择的关联因素，但这些不同做法的总体影响是喜忧参半的。

Representative bureaucracy theory predicts that mirroring social groups in the composition of the bureaucracy will lead to inclusive policies and less overall exclusion of diverse individuals. While supporting evidence on policy outcomes is abundant, findings on subjective perceptions are mixed. This study tests three hypotheses linking representative bureaucracy to perceived same-group discrimination in the general population. It introduces a novel multidimensional index of bureaucratic underrepresentation, and uses mixed effects hierarchical models to approximate answers. Exploratory findings suggest an “awareness” mechanism may explain the counterintuitive relationship between underrepresentation and feelings of exclusion, in which more diverse public sectors develop alongside higher awareness of discrimination.

代表性官僚制理论预测，在官僚制的构成中反映社会群体将导致包容性政策，减少对不同个人的总体排斥。虽然支持政策结果的证据很多，但关于主观看法的发现却参差不齐。这项研究测试了三个假设，将代议制官僚主义与一般人群中感知到的同群体歧视联系起来。它引入了一个新的官僚代表性不足的多维指数，并使用混合效应层次模型来近似答案。探索性发现表明，一种“意识”机制可以解释代表性不足和排斥感之间的反直觉关系，在这种关系中，更多元化的公共部门发展伴随着更高的歧视意识。

Imagining an Otherwise Global Public Administration 想象一个全球化的公共管理

Global public administration remains an incomplete project with contested notions of its aims and objectives. Given its disputed nature we focus on developing a negative definition of global public administration. We argue that a global public administration cannot be based on a singular ontology, western epistemology and Eurocentric research agenda. Moreover, a truly global public administration must not be committed to myopic limitations concerning its scope, historicity, objectives and research methods. To help foster discussion toward reimagining a different public administration, based on the postcolonial work of Khatibi, we argue for an otherwise thinking about global public administration. This would require looking with alterity for inspiration and insight, looking back to learn from history, looking differently to formulate new questions through new lenses, looking inwards at disciplinary exclusions, and looking dialectically to navigate the macro-micro research divide.

全球公共行政仍然是一个不完整的项目，其目的和目标的概念存在争议。鉴于其有争议的性质，我们着重于对全球公共行政作出消极的定义。我们认为，全球公共行政不能建立在单一的本体论、西方认识论和以欧洲为中心的研究议程之上。此外，一个真正的全球性公共行政绝不能在其范围、历史性、目标和研究方法方面受到短视的限制。为了在哈提比的后殖民工作的基础上促进对重新构想不同公共行政的讨论，我们主张对全球公共行政进行另一种思考。这需要从不同的角度寻找灵感和洞察力，回顾历史，从历史中学习，从不同的角度通过新的镜头提出新的问题，向内看学科排除，辩证地看待宏观和微观的研究鸿沟。

Democracy at Risk: The Public Employee Freedom of Speech Crisis 危险中的民主:公共雇员言论自由危机

The article argues that the Pickering/Connick/Garcetti line of cases defining the First Amendment freedom of speech rights of public employees provides them little protection when they engage in organizational dissent. The article explains that the U.S. Supreme Court has embraced a managerial approach to the freedom of speech rights of public employees because of its belief that organizational dissent may seriously undermine the efficiency and effectiveness of public organizations. Due to this fact, the article argues that public employees must develop a comprehensive understanding of First Amendment freedom of speech jurisprudence to maximize their protection from retaliation.

文章认为，皮克林/康尼克/加塞蒂一系列定义第一修正案公职人员言论自由权利的案件，在他们参与组织异议时，几乎没有为他们提供保护。文章解释说，美国最高法院对公职人员的言论自由权采取了管理方法，因为它认为组织异议可能会严重损害公共组织的效率和效力。鉴于这一事实，文章认为，公职人员必须全面理解《第一修正案》的言论自由判例，以最大限度地保护他们免受报复。

The ability to access the state as a taxpaying citizen is important for the purposes of building trust and reciprocity, voicing grievances and disseminating knowledge, and strengthening tax compliance and transparency. Based on original empirical data, this paper elaborates a theoretical argument of how state-citizen encounters in the case of taxation are conditioned by five interacting factors. Drawing on interviews with tax officials and taxpayers in Windhoek, Namibia, this paper shows that these five factors are weakly present and negatively reinforce each other, thereby providing insights into the Namibian tax system and everyday state-citizen tax encounters in developing countries.

作为纳税公民进入国家的能力对于建立信任和互惠、表达不满和传播知识以及加强税收合规性和透明度至关重要。基于原始的经验数据，本文阐述了国家公民在税收情况下遭遇如何受到五个相互作用因素的制约的理论论点。通过对纳米比亚温得和克税务官员和纳税人的采访，本文表明，这五个因素存在较弱，并且相互负面强化，从而深入了解纳米比亚的税收制度和发展中国家日常的国家公民税收遭遇。
