At present, some programmes stress the importance of sharing practical lessons on environmental democracy by comparing participation policies in different countries. However, few academic studies analyze how a country’s culture affects environmental public participation. The goal of this paper is to describe how culture shapes environmental public participation by answering two questions: how do certain cultural factors categorize each country according to a nation being egalitarian, fatalist, individualist, and hierarchical in the Cultural Theory (CT) model, and how do the features of CT in each country explain their own environmental participation. This paper looks at three cultural factors—religious, democratic, and gender culture—and analyzes the environmental participation from three cases. This analysis indicates that these three cultural factors categorize both China and Italy under hierarchism in the CT model, while the Netherlands is categorized under individualism and egalitarianism. Italy also has features of fatalism. In addition, different features of CT in the three countries explain the diversity of forms of environmental participation in their contexts. This paper specifically contributes to the analysis of the potential cultural uncertainties in studied countries.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23812346.2018.1443758","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46743142","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 paper uniquely considers the impacts of economic policy uncertainty on corruption in China. The study identified that the level of corruption has a positive relationship with the factors such as Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), uncertainty, economic development, public sector employees, size of provincial population and income inequality. And it was found that corruption has no correlation with salaries of public employees, women’s enrollment, anticorruption efforts, technological development, media and education. The study suggests that women’s enrollment is pretty unique, which depresses corruption in China. Further, it reveals the impact of technological development to reduce the rent-seeking activities. This study shows that there is a positive relationship between uncertainty and the level of corruption. The increase of uncertainty would lead to distract economic agents and economic drivers. The study suggests initiating serious economic and political reforms, since the level of corruption marginally decreases the economic growth of the country. Further, it emphasizes that the necessity of a regular framework to know how and why corruption saturates on the pillars of the state to succeed in anti-corruption policies.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23812346.2018.1516388","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41407461","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 qualitative study, guided by Woulfin’s lived logic framework, found that the interviewed HDMEs actively reinterpreted the institutional logics with three logics—expressive, instrumental, and hierarchical—by manipulating policy circulation, responding to the performative accountability and micropolitics in the hierarchy, and using correlative thinking. The lived logics of leading SEAs reveal that, as heads of a marginalized department in schools, the HDMEs struggled to seek visibility by using correlative thinking, promoting the importance of their work, and aligning with more helpful senior leaders. The study responds to theories on school middle leadership and implementation logic. It could deepen our understanding of the paradoxes in China’s development and governance, especially in areas concerning both measurable performance and unmeasurable issues (e.g. ideology and sustainable development).","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23812346.2020.1783824","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60123585","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}

However, there are few concerns and researches at present focus on bargaining intensity between government and social actors. Therefore, the Credibility Thesis is introduced to the policy process in this paper, and the differences of credibility perceived by the public, grassroots government and intermediate government are supposed to reflect the bargaining intensity among them. Based on the adjustability of policy targets and credibility differences, policy implementation is divided into eight types to explain diverse situations more systemically and effectively during policy implementation. Besides, taking prohibition of open burning of crop straw policy (POBSP) as an example, this paper measures the changes of credibility at three points of time during policy implementation and analyzes the bargaining situation among farmers and multi-level governments. The case study proves the applicability of the theoretical framework of the policy implementation based on credibility thesis. It can show the feedback procedure and mechanism of policy implementation, and provide a new perspective for the policy analysis and improving policy performance.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23812346.2020.1765453","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48343157","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}

It is could be that the perceived lending bias against private enterprises was a rational decision made by SOCBs in China, partly due to the high transaction costs of risk evaluation and the lack of any formal channels to mitigate the credit risks of such loans. The hybrid nature of SOCBs property rights makes them a credible and convenient channel for the state to provide counter-cyclical lending to contain any exogenous (economic) shocks that might occur as well as long-term financial support for development purposes in the transitional economy and thus contribute to socio-economic and political stability in China. Instead of a stumbling block for economic reforms in China, as posited by the conventional institutional analysts, the ambiguous property rights of SOCBs and their practice of offering favourable loan conditions to state-owned enterprises could actually contribute to their profitability and thus the continuity of hybrid property banking systems and their credibility in China.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23812346.2020.1772537","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46791847","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}

The analysis specifically focuses on the notice and comment process—government announcement of proposed policies and solicitation of public feedback—at the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOC) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The MOC and EPA are leading organizations in the implementation of such consultation in their respective countries. Information is collected and coded for hundreds of draft regulations and thousands of public comments that occurred during the 2002–2016 period. Statistical analysis of levels of, and variation in, transparency and participation demonstrates both similarities and differences in the operation of the notice and comment process at the MOC and EPA. Transparency and participation are generally lower at the MOC than in EPA consultations. Within such constraints, however, there is evidence of standardization in the administration of consultation by the MOC. These findings suggest that differences in the Chinese and U.S. political systems, rather than issues of administrative capacity, are the primary limitations of consultation as a policymaking innovation in contemporary China.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23812346.2020.1769539","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48488244","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}
