Based on archival data, this study utilizes the theoretical framework of policy transfer to conduct a case analysis of the history of PACH's transnational dissemination of its unique networking ideas, institutional models, and practices in the mid-20th century. The findings indicate that during the two stages before and after World War II, PACH's transnational transfer activities demonstrated different features in terms of motives, actors, content, routes, degrees, constraints, and facilitating factors for transfer. Our analysis shows the transnational transfer capabilities possessed by professional organizations as a special type of non-state actor, as well as the dual influence of professional mission and geopolitical factors on its transfer processes. This study provides a complementary perspective and empirical evidence for explaining the network formation in the field of public administration. The findings may help contemporary public administrative organizations consider how to adopt more effective strategies to participate in global governance through transnational cooperation.

Hierarchical relationships between government regulators and public services providers often lead to dysfunctional behaviors that negatively impact service delivery. Meta-regulation encompassing continuous learning towards sustainable service improvement involving both parties could offer a more effective regulatory approach. Mutual trust is crucial for this approach but is often absent. Drawing on psychological contract theory and an empirical study in the English NHS, this research illustrates how an explicit psychological contract (EPC) can facilitate building and maintaining trust, even through challenging times. Our ethnographic observations reveal how a regular face-to-face meeting between regulators and hospital leaders provided a stable context through which the EPC could be operationalized to make fulfillment and breach visible, prompting responses that served to build and maintain trust. However, some breaches were deliberately kept hidden to protect trust and shared goals. We conclude the EPC is a pivotal mechanism to support a meta-regulatory approach in complex regulatory contexts.

The aim of the article is to interpret the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 in light of crisis management theories, seeking to draw from this event some general lessons about the nature of crises, their determinants, and how they are managed. More specifically, the article addresses three questions: (1) Why did Israel underestimate the warning signs and fail to prevent the attack? (2) What decision‐making logic did the Israeli government adopt in responding to the attack? (3) What kind of crisis is the one being analyzed? In the article, it is proposed to adopt the category of “antagonistic crises,” that is of crises that are caused by human beings, who act intentionally with the stated goal of getting the other party into trouble. The logic of appropriateness is used to interpret the response to the attack by the Netanyahu government.

Algorithms are disrupting established decision-making practices in public administration. A key area of interest lies in algorithmic discretion or how public officials use algorithms to exercise discretion. The article develops a framework to explain algorithmic discretion by drawing on status quo bias theory and bureaucratic discretion. A study with police officers in the UK shows that—while officers still value their discretion—it is resistance via the aspects of status quo bias that accounts for a more substantial explanation. Transition costs, loss aversion, and performance uncertainty determine resistance and, in turn, reluctance to delegate discretion to algorithms. The study contributes to public administration research that demonstrates the influence of cognitive biases in the increasing use of algorithms in areas like policing. The article concludes with recommendations for embedding algorithmic discretion into the professional development of public officials to mitigate sources of status quo bias.

Allan Rosenbaum was a dedicated public administration professor and administrator who made significant contributions to the field over his six‐decade career. He held various academic and administrative positions and played leadership roles in professional associations, becoming a global champion of public administration. Allan was known for his passion, humanity, decency, and friendship, which were evident in his professional contributions and the way he nurtured those who worked with him. In this remembrance piece, we highlight Allan's impact on the field and many public administrators and scholars across the globe.

Propelled by the New Public Management reforms, the infusion of market values in the public‐nonprofit interface is argued to have increased nonprofit organizations' (NPOs) capacity to influence public policy through increased access to government, yet often at the cost of abandoning their critical stance toward the said government. Drawing on cross‐country survey data collected from NPOs across three different welfare states (N = 779), this study examines to what extent key aspects of nonprofit marketization are associated with NPOs refraining from criticizing their funding government. Corroborating the critical nonprofit marketization literature, we find that compromised advocacy goes hand in hand with high(er) levels of resource competition, output‐based public control, and recruitment of business‐like staff. These results add to a growing body of evidence of a so‐called closing or shrinking space for NPOs across different welfare state regimes.
