How does this integration occur? ENGOs could integrate SJ issues that speak directly to their environmental mission or address non‐environmental topics, such as police reform. Their integration might also be symbolic or substantive. We hypothesize that ENGOs' risk/reward calculations, derived from their organizational characteristics, influenced whether and how they engaged with SJ issues between 2011 and 2023, as the social expectation that they would do so increased in parallel with support for the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. To study the extent and type of SJ incorporation, we examine a random sample of 500 US ENGOs at three time points coinciding with significant BLM events (2011, 2017, 2023). Cumulative ordered probit models reveal that ENGOs with larger budgets, operating at the national and international levels, and those already working across a wide range of issue areas were consistently more likely to incorporate SJ substantively over performatively. They engaged in SJ issues related to environmental concerns rather than broader, non‐environmental SJ concerns, implying that NGOs are willing to respond to changes in the external environment by expanding their missions and investing in new programs, but only to the extent that these changes align with their core mission and competencies.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148371951","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}

Examining state‐level enforcement of federal surface mining and air pollution control regulation over a 35‐year period, we find robust evidence of strategic interaction in state environmental regulatory behavior in the asymmetric manner suggested by the race to the bottom theory. For surface mining regulation, our results also indicate that these dynamics are amplified during Republican presidencies. These findings suggest the continued need to evaluate the efficacy of environmental federalism as it is practiced in the United States, as well as in the many other nations around the world that rely on a similar regulatory model. Race to the bottom dynamics may depress enforcement of environmental protection laws in these contexts, potentially leading to adverse consequences for human health and the environment.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148371954","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}

Yet, despite a rise in regulatory crises and growing institutional contestation, we still know surprisingly little about how trust can be repaired once shattered. This article addresses this gap by developing a general analytical framework for regulatory trust repair, adapting insights from management scholarship to the context of regulation. The framework is then systematically tested through the particular case of European financial regulation—an unlikely case given the severity of the financial and eurozone crises, yet one in which a gradual pattern of recovery is documented. Through deductive theory‐testing process tracing, the analysis suggests that, even after catastrophic breakdowns, a combination of three mechanisms—public investigations providing a diagnosis of failure, substantive and institutional reforms reducing the risk of reoccurrence, and heightened transparency demonstrating renewed trustworthiness—can be jointly sufficient to repair trust in regulation.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148355640","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}

The magnitude, drivers, and trajectory of corruption across the pandemic response remain underexplored. This paper approximates the impacts of the pandemic on public procurement corruption risks and the mechanisms underpinning their persistence and diffusion. Administrative data on all high‐value, regulated government tenders across Europe from 2016 to 2023 are analyzed. Fixed‐effects regressions on the contract level estimate the impact of the pandemic‐induced spending shock on corruption risks. We find that the COVID‐19 spending surge was followed by sustained increases in corruption risks, particularly in medium‐integrity countries. This is largely driven by market entrants without COVID‐19‐product experience exploiting weaker pandemic corruption controls to secure large contracts. We also find small spillover effects from corruption risks in COVID‐19‐related products to healthcare and wider procurement markets, driven by buyers normalizing emergency procurement practices beyond emergency contracts.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148322546","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}

The main differences with benefit corporations are that French law requires companies to be accountable by defining statutory environmental and social objectives, to take responsibility for achieving them through a mission committee, and to accept possible sanctions by an independent third‐party body. However, the operationality, implementation, and governance mechanisms surrounding corporate purpose remain puzzling. To resolve this issue, we collected data and conducted semi‐structured interviews with 20 investment companies. These companies play a central role in shaping corporate strategies through capital allocation and governance influence. Our findings enabled us to identify a governance model that aligns stakeholders around a purpose and leverages multiple accountability mechanisms for systemic impact.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148321864","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}

Disillusioned with traditional answers based on the concept of copyright, we turn the tables and consider why we ask about authorship in the first place. In the following paper, we show that the real problem of machine creativity concerning copyright law is of epistemic origin (the attribution problem), why neither granting nor not granting copyright would solve this problem, and why it has actually been replaced within the academic discourse by a pseudo‐problem. Finally, we propose an outline of a solution that goes beyond the scope of the current dispute: to reject the dogma that the author is inseparable from the copyright; to attribute works for epistemic, not only economic reasons; to (re)define machine authorship in copyright law through duties; and—going forward—to reconsider the role of the author as a legal concept.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148385864","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}

Yet, empirical evidence on its application to corruption remains limited. Existing studies rely mainly on laboratory experiments and focus on certainty and severity of punishment, leaving the role of celerity unexplored. This study addresses these gaps by examining the three elements of deterrence—certainty, severity, and celerity—using data from 25 European Union countries across five time periods (2013–2024), while controlling for a range of social, political, and economic factors, most notably trust. Mixed‐effects analyses show that higher certainty of punishment is associated with lower corruption levels, but this relationship depends critically on celerity. When punishment is slow, certainty has no discernible association with corruption; when punishment is timely, this association is substantial. We found no evidence that laboratory‐based severity effects extend to real‐world corruption contexts. These findings indicate that effective deterrence strategies could prioritize measures that increase the perceived likelihood of punishment while simultaneously ensuring timely punishment. They also highlight the need for renewed theoretical and empirical attention to celerity as a conditional mechanism in deterrence processes.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"54 70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286692","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}

Such an approach means that the public accepts corrupt practices and sees them as reasonable, as long as they achieve results that they see as beneficial. We develop a theoretical framework that includes institutional and behavioral independent variables. We then test our research model using survey data collected from citizens of 27 European countries from Transparency International's Global Corruption Barometer. The findings indicate that the mechanism through which citizens form their perceptions of institutional corruption as instrumental is complex. The normalization of corruption in society does not lead people to rule out process considerations, but it does weaken them among certain segments of the population. Thus, considerations about the outcomes of corrupt activities and the fairness of processes coexist.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"140 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286694","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}

First, because corruption is politically sensitive, the IMF risks destabilizing recipient governments and provoking crises. Second, these domestic risks translate into institutional costs: imposing such measures in strategically important countries (e.g., US allies or temporary UNSC members) can alienate key stakeholders. We posit that clear institutional guidelines reduce these institutional costs by aligning members and staff and promoting a more even application across the membership. We test these claims on a novel dataset of IMF loan conditions from 1980 to 2019, built with machine‐learning tools that distinguish direct anti‐corruption conditions from indirect ones aimed at accountability and transparency. The results strongly support the theory: following the IMF's 1997 corruption guidelines, the application of anti‐corruption conditionality has become more even across multiple measures; yet, domestic political costs continued to steer the Fund toward indirect rather than direct conditions. Beyond illuminating how the IMF addresses a core impediment to development, the study highlights institutional evolution and how IOs balance competing pressures.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286688","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}

Thus, it comes as no surprise that the topic has been explored from various angles across the academic landscape. This systematic literature review explores the analytical dimensions and explanatory factors of interest group involvement in policy‐ and rulemaking processes. Drawing on 48 studies identified through the PRISMA statement, it reveals a fragmented yet converging field. While the literature often presents itself as anchored in one conceptual tradition, many contributions implicitly engage with various scholarly traditions. This engagement, albeit implicit, points to a latent convergence in the field that is not always made explicit in conceptual approaches, theoretical framing, or methodological design. Therefore, this review not only identifies gaps and connections in the field; it also highlights the potential for closer dialogue and mutual learning.","PeriodicalId":21026,"journal":{"name":"Regulation & Governance","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148286651","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}
