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.\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.","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}

Yet, government interventions need to retain legitimacy in the eyes of citizens. We study the perceived legitimacy of pandemic crisis interventions with a focus on the effects of multi-level governance and region-specific interventions. 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 (N = 2252) find no evidence in support of the conjecture that citizens perceive nation-wide crisis interventions as more legitimate than region-specific measures. The level of government making the decision matters very little for the legitimacy of the interventions. Restrictions enacted by the national government are slightly more accepted than those decided regionally in the Netherlands, but there is no such difference in Germany.","PeriodicalId":48056,"journal":{"name":"Governance-An International Journal of Policy Administration and Institutions","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gove.70056","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145101371","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}

This study seeks to add to this literature by examining how high-level Israeli bureaucrats navigate populist pressures. Based on 32 in-depth interviews with current and former senior officials, our findings reveal that bureaucrats are very aware of populist leaders' attempts to exploit bureaucratic institutions to consolidate power, thereby weakening both the effectiveness of the professionals in these institutions and their autonomy. We also find that bureaucrats employ a mix of strategies including resistance, compliance, and strategic adaptation to cope with these challenges. We propose a classification of these bureaucratic coping strategies, ranging from aggressive resistance to passive compliance, with intermediate strategies balancing adaptation and institutional survival. The Israeli case represents a rather “soft” bureaucratic response to populism compared to other contexts. Nevertheless, this study contributes to the growing discourse on populism and public administration, offering insights into the complex interactions between populist leadership and bureaucratic institutions.","PeriodicalId":48056,"journal":{"name":"Governance-An International Journal of Policy Administration and Institutions","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gove.70061","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145038346","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}

We show how the articles in this Special Issue contribute to bridge two analytical tendencies in migration research - one foregrounding the political underpinnings of governing practices, and the other focusing on the collaborative dynamics of governance networks. While often treated separately, these perspectives intersect in important ways. Building on these contributions, an integrative research agenda is proposed. Theoretically, we suggest building the relevance of geographic context, scale and migration dynamics into our theorization of migration politics and governance. Methodologically, we suggest expanding beyond the common qualitative versus quantitative divide in the field, and deepening our analysis of politics-governance interactions through mixed-methods approaches.","PeriodicalId":48056,"journal":{"name":"Governance-An International Journal of Policy Administration and Institutions","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gove.70055","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145012906","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}

From a quiet politics perspective, businesses are especially influential in policy design under conditions of low political salience. From a bureaucratic politics perspective, bureaucratic power based on specialist expertise is also strongest in low-salience contexts and enables them to withstand business influence. Under what conditions does bureaucratic power or business power prevail in policy design under low political salience? This article argues that policy bureaucracies can restrict business power by mobilizing expertise for a different policy design than that advocated by business if they have a strong and competing organizational interest in the policy design. This argument is illustrated in a case study on the design of Extended Producer Responsibility for single-use plastics in Germany as a deviant case of high business influence under quiet politics. This article contributes to understanding business-bureaucracy interaction outside business home turf and below the political radar. It enhances quiet politics by introducing the role of bureaucratic responsiveness based on organizational interests and expertise.","PeriodicalId":48056,"journal":{"name":"Governance-An International Journal of Policy Administration and Institutions","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gove.70054","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144918853","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}

RDM's political consciousness and ideologies for social justice were cultivated by their exposures to student activism and repression in October 1973 and 1976 and fostered by the exposure to poverty and ill-health in rural communities while doing compulsory medical service in rural hospitals in the 1970s–1980s, following graduation from medical school. This perspective highlights two major contributions by RDM. First, it fought against the 1998 Drug Scandal and 2009 potential corruption in the MOPH through whistle-blowing role. Second, RDM advocated for legislation from various statutory bodies that support and fill the gap of MOPH. These bodies include the Thai Health Promotion Foundation, the National Health Security Office, and the National Health Commission Office. The legal mandates of these statutory bodies create conflicts with tobacco, alcohol and beverage industries, pharmaceutical industries and MOPH, which led to consistent efforts to roll back the influence of these para-statal health organizations formed and led by RDM advocates. RDM's role as whistle-blowers and advocates for the legislation of statutory bodies provides key lessons for practitioners and policymakers in developing countries. However, they need to adapt to their own policy contexts and policy actors and be agile to grasp the window of opportunity.","PeriodicalId":48056,"journal":{"name":"Governance-An International Journal of Policy Administration and Institutions","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gove.70053","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144918836","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}

Yet, preceding scholars have barely explored how they manage to resist it. Addressing this gap, the paper presents a concept of the coping mechanisms street-level bureaucrats employ to shield their discretionary practices from becoming politicized. It is derived from an exploratory interview study with 33 case managers at German local jobcentres. Drawing on an abductive conceptualization, it identifies four distinct mechanisms which may serve either the function of moving against ideological demands (professional superiority, disenchanting) or of moving away from them (externalizing responsibility, segmentation). The paper offers novel insights into street-level bureaucrats' professional position and its relationship with political ideologies. It thereby contributes to a better understanding of how street-level bureaucracies preserve a competent execution of state acting in times when ideological conflict lines have become highly polarized.","PeriodicalId":48056,"journal":{"name":"Governance-An International Journal of Policy Administration and Institutions","volume":"38 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gove.70052","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144905455","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}
