Our expectations and findings challenge the popular view that blaming the EU is the most credible approach. In policy implementation, national governments are often perceived as primarily responsible, making their blame-shifting attempts less persuasive. Instead, we expect and find that defending compliance by claiming responsibility increases perceived legitimacy. Municipal authorities, however, can more credibly deny responsibility for externally mandated policies because of their distance from the EU decision-making process. These results advance research on elite communication and the legitimacy of EU policies, offering new insights into how governments can reconcile public responsiveness with supranational obligations in an era of contested EU governance.</p>","PeriodicalId":48056,"journal":{"name":"Governance-An International Journal of Policy Administration and Institutions","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gove.70065","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145224457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparing the United States' Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the European Union's Green Deal Industrial Plan (GDIP), it shows that contrasting industrial policy strategies were ultimately shaped by differences in the two polities' legislative rules. In both cases, geopolitical pressures sparked renewed interest in green industrial policymaking. However, procedural mechanisms for majoritarian decision-making in the U.S. Senate enabled the government to overcome partisan veto players and compelled the design of the IRA as a budgetary instrument centered on fiscal subsidies. By contrast, unanimity requirements in the EU's joint decision-making system prevented the Commission from overcoming Member State veto players in the Council, precluding supranational fiscal instruments and resulting in a regulation-based, decentralized approach via national state aid. The findings contribute to the burgeoning debates on the return of industrial policy and state activism by showing how political institutions contribute to shaping not only the scope but also the form of economic interventionism within different polities.</p>","PeriodicalId":48056,"journal":{"name":"Governance-An International Journal of Policy Administration and Institutions","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gove.70066","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145224416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially on the issue of environmental protection, governments worldwide have sought to enhance their environmental governance efficiency by embedding the concepts, technologies, and methods of digital governance. However, while the potential benefits of digital governance embedding have garnered considerable academic attention, the associated implementation burdens it imposes on the public sector have received relatively little scrutiny or discussion. Based on panel data from 225 prefecture-level cities in China from 2014 to 2022, this study empirically analyzes the impact of digital governance embedding on local government's environmental governance efficiency and unveils its mechanism from the perspective of implementation burden. The study found that: (1) Digital governance embedding has a “U-shaped” impact on the environmental governance efficiency of local governments; (2) The implementation burdens arising from digital governance embedding constitute the core mechanism explaining this “U-shaped” relationship; (3) Local governments' transformative public value preferences can mitigate the negative effects of implementation burdens on environmental governance efficiency. By incorporating the theoretical perspectives of implementation burden and public value preferences, the results can help scholars and practitioners rationally understand the impact of digital governance embedding on public sector's organizational operation and governance performance.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48056,"journal":{"name":"Governance-An International Journal of Policy Administration and Institutions","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145101988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These principles are formulated in universal and general terms, for example, more transparency or participation, and are intended to enhance governance effectiveness. Yet, the relationship between such principles and governance effectiveness is not linear. Different combinations of principles affect governance effectiveness differently, depending on the context. It raises the general question of the influence of policy instruments interactions on policy outcomes. We investigate two types of non-linearities. The first, direct non-linearities, are instrument-specific and characterized by two thresholds: a minimum level required to ensure effectiveness, and a second level beyond which positive effects begin to decrease marginally. The second type, compositional non-linearities, refers to the idea that policy instruments are most effective when combined in specific ways (joint effect) or by being an enabling condition for others. We study the case of urban water governance in 35 megacities worldwide, based on empirical data from OECD reports and a fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis. The present study assesses the impact of assesses how combinations of economic, participatory, and regulatory policy instruments affect urban water loss, as a policy outcome. We found that price and wealth are important enabling conditions within the policy design. Regulation and participation have important joint effects and follow the logic of direct non-linearities. Their absence or excessive presence can be detrimental, but they are critical for effectiveness when combined with other policy instruments.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48056,"journal":{"name":"Governance-An International Journal of Policy Administration and Institutions","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145101987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, traditional co-production research often overlooks the contributions of TSOs and the voices of marginalized populations. This study addresses these gaps by exploring the role of TSOs as intermediaries in co-producing climate actions by empowering vulnerable communities. Through a case study of a project led by BRAC, a prominent hybrid TSO in Bangladesh, we find that creating a relational space for co-production—in this case, Climate Action Groups—is the key strategy used to foster active engagement and build long-term climate resilience. These spaces reach their full potential when intentionally supported by mechanisms such as awareness raising and shared goals, the incorporation of local knowledge, and inclusive engagement strategies. Our research contributes to the literature by demonstrating how TSOs facilitate meaningful co-production with vulnerable groups, thereby broadening our understanding of their role in climate governance and providing a comprehensive, practice-based model of sustainable, community-led adaptation. These findings offer valuable insights and emphasize the vital role of TSOs in developing practical and sustainable strategies for climate change adaptation.</p>","PeriodicalId":48056,"journal":{"name":"Governance-An International Journal of Policy Administration and Institutions","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gove.70058","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145101800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such territorially-differentiated measures are often appropriate for effective crisis responses, but they raise concerns about equal treatment. Our pre-registered survey experiments run on quota-representative national samples in Germany and the Netherlands (<i>N</i> = 2252) find no evidence in support of the conjecture that citizens perceive nation-wide crisis interventions as more legitimate than region-specific measures.
