In food safety, finance, and data protection regulation, regulatory frameworks have been reformed to restore trust after regulatory failures. Using fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis, this paper seeks to identify how key design choices—centralization of competencies in one versus multiple regulatory agencies, agency independence, mandated interactions, and rules perceived as appropriate—combine in fostering both trust in the regime itself and between its actors. Rule appropriateness is found to be a necessary condition for trust, while the combination of centralized regulatory competencies with dense information sharing is particularly effective in building regime trust. Alternatively, trust can emerge in regimes with multiple independent agencies under specific configurations. By integrating diverse data sources and adopting a cross‐sectoral, cross‐national approach, this paper provides a fine‐grained understanding of how design elements shape trust, offering lessons to scholars and policymakers on crafting resilient and trusted regulatory frameworks.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147506659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their centrality, legal and scholarly practice have not been treating cloud infrastructures as single objects of/for study. In other words, we have laws for regulating services and products that flow from (within) cloud infrastructures, but we have yet to grapple with their operators' ability to: (1) render things administratively calculable and legible; and (2) to dictate the global tempo of innovation by orchestrating technological trajectories. This is a problem and a consequence of a fragmented legal epistemology that has been constantly searching for gaps to fill in what has been perceived as a linear continuum of legal and technological development. Alas, this paper argues that we (legal scholars and practitioners) have been looking too closely to these developments to be able to see them. In this direction, the paper explains what we have missed in the (non‐)regulation of cloud infrastructures, why, and what we can do to start seeing, learning, and talking about them in a way that better reflects their nature and power in modern economies and societies. And, at a time when various jurisdictions around the world are fragmenting the world of cloud infrastructures into lands of “sovereignty” ordered and monitored by multinational corporations, we find this legal and policy endeavor to be as necessary as ever.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147506657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It addresses three questions: Do citizens distinguish between trust and distrust in frontline workers and public institutions when reporting on their encounters with welfare services? Which key attributes of trustworthiness emerge from their experiences at each of these levels? And most importantly, to what extent does interpersonal trust‐building repair institutional trustworthiness and spill over into institutional trust? The analysis is based on interviews with vulnerable citizens accessing the social assistance system in seven European countries (Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, and Serbia). The findings show that trust is situational and bounded, and that trust spillovers are conditional: while openness in face‐to‐face interactions can temporarily mitigate bureaucratic opacity, these effects seldom translate into broader perceptions of institutional trustworthiness, thus mirroring the relevance of various mediating factors. Conceptually, the paper frames trust and distrust in welfare governance as multi‐level phenomena shaped by the administrative context and constrained by the asymmetries that characterize social service delivery in situations of vulnerability.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"235 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147506670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integrating insights from global value chain (GVC) research with the assumptions of legal struggles and legal endogeneity, the article analyses how administrative practice shapes the meaning and boundaries of due diligence obligations. The study empirically focuses on the German supply chain due diligence law, conducting a discourse analysis of eight guidance documents issued by the Federal Office of Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA). The German law is an insightful case study because the administrative body plays a more central role in the implementation process than in other due diligence laws. It acts as a key interpreter and guide for companies, as well as a controlling authority and handler of complaints. The analysis shows that BAFA's guidance must be understood in the context of an exceptionally high level of ambiguity that has arisen from the evolution of international soft law on due diligence norms. During implementation, the BAFA organizes ambiguity rather than resolving it, delegating substantive interpretive work to companies while normalizing private governance instruments such as audits and certifications. In doing so, administrative practice embeds due diligence obligations within existing GVC governance regimes and contributes to the hybridization and managerialization of public regulation. The article thus specifies how implementation becomes a key arena in which due diligence is shaped, contested, and potentially diluted.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147447150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conceptually, it draws on neo‐Gramscian perspectives to analyze how contestation and compromise between distinct stakeholders and dynamics of hegemony and counter‐hegemony shaped the CS3D. It draws on secondary lobbying databases and primary interviews with key actors from civil society, trade unions, industry and European Union institutions to explore two key research questions: First, what were the main key issues of contestation between key actors in the understanding of GVCs within the CS3D? Second, how was the role of existing private governance initiatives in CS3D conceptualized by key actors? We illustrate how contestation shaped compromise on the conceptualization of GVCs and the role of private governance in CS3D. Our findings highlight how this new regime could impact the future of due diligence and GVC governance.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147447359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
