Recent literature calls for scholars to bridge the divide that has emerged between criminology and regulation and governance. In the current work, we propose that criminological opportunity theories provide one fruitful pathway to that end. Specifically, we introduce the notion of regulatory guardianship based on the concepts of guardians, guardian capability, and guardian willingness to intervene

The second wave of research on Policy Advisory Systems (PAS) dynamics has induced scholars to rethink the received knowledge about the insider–outsider and technical–political divides in policy advice, leading to more nuanced descriptions of PAS configurations. The long-term structural change of PAS has been the focus of this research agenda. In contrast, a research gap exists in analyzing the role

EU agricultural landscapes are vital for biodiversity. Intensive agricultural practices constitute, however, key drivers of biodiversity loss. The EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 aims to restore “at least 10?% of agricultural area under high-diversity landscape features”, yet it lacks specific guidance for assessment and implementation. Here, we develop an approach to (a) map and assess agricultural

The Tibetan Plateau’s scarce farmland plays an important role in the livelihoods of its inhabitants. In the Yarlung Zangbo River Basin (YZRB), a key agricultural region on the plateau, the intricate natural environment and various human activities pose serious threats to the quantity and quality of farmland. Therefore, identifying the mechanisms behind farmland loss is essential to address these challenges

This study investigates digital technologies (DT) in landscape planning (LP). The aim, was to systematically map and assess the degree of use of digital technologies in, landscape planning as well as propose guidance for further research, We performed a scoping review of 53,114 papers published from January 2012 until, May 2023. We followed the PRISMA-ScR framework, combined with semi-automated, data

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, new rules forced public servants to work remotely or under strict guidelines at the office. These rules were often perceived as red tape, creating a compliance burden and limiting flexibility. While red tape is commonly seen as a job demand associated with reduced well-being and performance among public servants, the effects of COVID-19-related red tape remain unexplored

Earlier conceptual studies suggest that policy bubbles differ from the more common pattern of policy overreaction due to their sustained, self-reinforcing nature, which results in prolonged overinvestment. Although the best way to analyze this phenomenon is through rigorous empirical investigation, such future endeavors require a guiding theory. This article lays the groundwork for a potential theory

Hierarchical relationships between government regulators and public services providers often lead to dysfunctional behaviors that negatively impact service delivery. Meta‐regulation encompassing continuous learning towards sustainable service improvement involving both parties could offer a more effective regulatory approach. Mutual trust is crucial for this approach but is often absent. Drawing on

Biodiversity faces heightened threats due to increasing global urbanization and land use intensity. Protecting global biodiversity through optimized protected areas is essential, yet current studies encounter challenges in measuring biodiversity, analyzing threat effects, and defining optimization pathways. We propose a framework to assess the impact of future land use changes on biodiversity in protected

The research explores the relationship between extrinsic and intrinsic factors and housing prices in order to determine their effect in price formation in the housing market and consequently also on urban planning. Based on a sample of 3683 dwellings in Rome, the urban and structural variables influencing supply prices have been analyzed. The methodology used combined web scrapping, geo-referencing

The environmental impacts of infrastructure projects are widely assessed through a procedure known as environmental impact assessments (EIAs). In many regulatory systems, EIAs are carried out by third-party intermediaries. However, their roles and effectiveness within public policy and regulatory governance remain understudied. This study addresses this gap by examining 24 wind energy projects deliberated

Algorithms are disrupting established decision‐making practices in public administration. A key area of interest lies in algorithmic discretion or how public officials use algorithms to exercise discretion. The article develops a framework to explain algorithmic discretion by drawing on status quo bias theory and bureaucratic discretion. A study with police officers in the UK shows that—while officers

In the context of the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030), insights are urgently needed on how to engage land users in reforestation efforts. This study examined the resources, capabilities and perspectives of land users, i.e., farmers, in relation to reforestation in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (BAF), an ecoregion that hosts 70?% of the Brazilian population while is also a biodiversity

I study whether the amount of time students take to complete their bachelor's degree affects labor outcomes after graduation using a resume‐based field experiment. I randomly assign a time to degree of either 4 or 6 years to over 7,000 fictitious resumes of recent graduates and submit them to entry‐level business jobs. Resumes listing degree completion in 6 years received 1% to 2% fewer employer responses

The aim of the article is to interpret the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 in light of crisis management theories, seeking to draw from this event some general lessons about the nature of crises, their determinants, and how they are managed. More specifically, the article addresses three questions: (1) Why did Israel underestimate the warning signs and fail to prevent the attack? (2) What decision‐making

Managing a region’s natural hazard risk while also meeting demands for new development can be challenging. New development supports local governments’ tax revenues and other economic activities but may also lead to longer-term natural hazard losses if new construction is left unrestricted. Government entities commonly use land use policies to influence the location of new development. We developed

Assigning the preparation of decisions to specialized committees composed of member state representatives is a widespread response to the ‘governor's dilemma’, that is, the tension between competence and control, in international organizations (IOs). We theorize a causal mechanism referring to self‐selection and agenda‐setting effects and show how the resulting division of labor among IO bodies produces

Emerging technologies pose many new challenges for regulation and governance on a global scale. With the advent of distributed communication networks like the Internet and decentralized ledger technologies like blockchain, new platforms emerged, disrupting existing power dynamics and bringing about new claims of sovereignty from the private sector. This special issue addresses a gap in the literature

Urban regeneration projects in Turkey reshape not only the physical environment but also the social fabric, imposing different housing lifestyles on former informal settlement residents. This forced transition disrupts subsistence economies, social networks, and established daily practices, often requiring profound adaptation. This study examines these effects through the Yeni Mamak Urban Regeneration

Throughout rural Africa, the intersection of customary traditions and statutory governance has often led to overlapping jurisdictions and conflicts over community land rights. In Liberia, this dynamic is particularly evident in the rise of commercial land concessions. This article examines the Liberian government’s approach to community land rights and its impacts on land tenure security, especially

The demand for settlements to adapt to the impacts of climate change is reflected in the increased interest of the Czech public administration in promoting changes in the field of rainwater management (RWM). In the Czech Republic, city representatives and politicians are gradually leaning towards the development of blue-green infrastructure, i.e. towards promoting functional green spaces and other

Local Climate Zones (LCZ) classification is an essential tool in addressing the environmental impacts of urbanization, particularly in mitigating Urban Heat Islands (UHI) and managing temperature variations. A systematic review was conducted using PSALSAR methodology, analyzing 126 publications from Scopus and Web of Science databases from 2018 to 2023. Recent advances in LCZ research were evaluated

This study examines the complex tensions between land commodification and archaeological preservation in Palestine by analysing the Palestinian National Spatial Plan (PNSP). Using a mixed-methods approach combining GIS analysis, ethnographic interviews, and case study research of Tell at-Tall archaeological site in Deir Dibwan, I investigate how the Palestinian Authority (PA) navigates competing demands

Although political economy (PE) has long engaged with environmental issues, climate change has remained at the margins of the field until very recently. This article argues that fully addressing the transformative challenges brought up by climate change requires a fundamental rethinking of core PE concepts related to the state, distributional struggles, economic growth, varieties of capitalism, and

Public managers implement various types of external interventions, such as documentation requirements that hold public professionals accountable to legal protocols. Motivation crowding research finds that controlling perceptions of external interventions may reduce motivation and negatively influence performance. Thus, the way that managers build support for external interventions is crucial. This

New governance models increasingly employ self‐regulation tools like pledges and nudges to achieve regulatory compliance. These approaches premise that voluntary compliance emerges from intrinsic motivation to cooperate rather than coercive measures. Central to their success is trust—both in government institutions and among citizens. However, rising societal polarization raises critical questions

In this study we describe the potential of human‐centered design principles to identify burdens, reducing the effects of administrative checkpoints. Administrative checkpoints—mandatory requirements that must be satisfied in order to progress in an administrative process—have disproportionate negative effects in excluding the public from receiving public services. Mandatory interviews are one such

We investigate the effect of spatial land-use intensity allocation, policies, and risk on the expected utility derived from grassland multifunctionality (i.e., bundles of ecosystem services) and optimal land-use strategies. The considered policies stipulate various minimum shares of extensive grasslands and can be implemented at the farm or landscape level. Based on comprehensive survey data from Swiss

Skills formation is a pressing issue for middle‐income countries given the pace of technological change. In Latin America, scholars point to the hierarchical type of capitalism and its segmentalist skills formation system as the main roadblocks to exiting the middle‐income trap. Yet we contend that focusing on national models of capitalism is limited because they do not explain within‐country variations

Non‐take‐up of social benefits is a significant policy issue caused by factors such as lack of awareness, compliance costs, and stigma. While public information campaigns, default options, and in‐person assistance are increasingly used, their effectiveness remains poorly understood. This study provides a systematic review of field experiments evaluating nudges and simple behavioral interventions on

Given the ongoing climate crisis, the frequency and severity of natural disasters are increasing. These events result in enormous reconstruction costs, pose a high burden on state budgets, and potentially drive homeowners into private insolvency. One policy instrument for collectively covering such costs is a compulsory insurance scheme for natural hazards. As the impact of natural disasters is uneven

Urban flooding presents a growing challenge in metropolitan areas due to climate change and increasing impervious surfaces. This research proposes a Green Infrastructure (GI) planning approach to enhance flood control and resilience in the flood-prone Yeoksam-dong region of Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea. A mixed-method approach was employed, incorporating both residents’ preferences and hydrological

Agroecological and technological innovations are two important approaches in the transition towards agricultural sustainability. We lack knowledge about how current agricultural contexts may influence future development pathways and the relative importance of the two approaches. This study explores the alignment between past uptake of agroecological and technological practices and future visions of

Involvement with the juvenile justice system carries immense consequences both to detained youth and to society more broadly. Extant research on the “school‐to‐prison pipeline” has often focused on school disciplinary practices such as suspension with less attention on understanding the impact of school referrals to the juvenile justice system on students. Using novel administrative data from North

Forest Transition (FT) is a theoretical framework for understanding tree cover changes but often overlooks differences within countries, across forest types (e.g., second-growth forests, tree plantations replacing natural forests), regions, and climates. We quantified tropical tree cover dynamics across eight regions in four tropical countries, examining how these patterns relate to FT and how they

In the context of the most recent reform of the European Common Agricultural Policy (2023–2027), new voluntary environment-friendly measures have been introduced. These measures, termed eco-schemes, represent one-year arrangements with limited restrictions. They are, therefore, considered to be more flexible than the revised and more demanding agri-environment-climate measures (AECM). The introduction

Allan Rosenbaum was a dedicated public administration professor and administrator who made significant contributions to the field over his six‐decade career. He held various academic and administrative positions and played leadership roles in professional associations, becoming a global champion of public administration. Allan was known for his passion, humanity, decency, and friendship, which were

Understanding vegetation dynamics and their influencing factors is essential to regional sustainable development and ecological security. However, large-scale and long-term vegetation changes and attribution pose challenges due to temporal and quality discrepancies in multi-source remote sensing data. This study developed a research framework based on multi-source data integration and conducted a case

Public demand for the restoration of degraded French peatlands is strong, as they contribute to climate change. A French carbon offset accreditation is being developed to facilitate private investment in peatland restoration. Assessing the costs of restoration programs and projects is vital to target cost-efficiency. Studies on acquisition costs are non-existent in the peatland scientific literature

We use a baby formula “food scare” in Israel in 2003 as a plausible natural experiment to study the causal relationship between breastfeeding and mothers’ return to work after childbirth. Analysis of administrative data covering the universe of births in the country shows that first‐time mothers who gave birth shortly after the scare delayed their return to work. Their average months worked in the

Propelled by the New Public Management reforms, the infusion of market values in the public‐nonprofit interface is argued to have increased nonprofit organizations' (NPOs) capacity to influence public policy through increased access to government, yet often at the cost of abandoning their critical stance toward the said government. Drawing on cross‐country survey data collected from NPOs across three

Digital governance has become a key means of improving the quality of urban governance, particularly the green utilization efficiency of urban land. Then, using panel data from 284 cities and exploiting the implementation of the ‘National Pilot for Information Benefiting the People’ policy, this study uses a double machine learning model to explore the impact of digital governance on the green utilization

This study advances a deeper understanding of the antecedents and mediators of goal ambiguity within public organizations. Expanding upon the established notion of the negative relationship between goal ambiguity and performance in public organizations, this study goes one step further by exploring how exogenous shocks may exacerbate this adverse impact. Focusing on the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic

In the age of collaboration and shared governance, paradoxically, distrust manifests frequently in government and political institutions and is seen as dysfunctional to democracy, making governing networks challenging. Yet, previous studies emphasize the significance of promoting trust more than addressing distrust in networks. Distrust differs from the absence of trust. It involves relationships characterized

Differential coverage across demographic groups in a census or survey can reduce the accuracy and representativeness of the resulting statistics. Researchers traditionally have used community‐level measures to study response behavior and coverage, which can obscure patterns for small population groups. We illustrate this using household‐level citizenship and immigration status. We construct household‐level

Land degradation and water challenges threaten sub-Saharan Africa's agricultural productivity and food security. This study uses panel secondary data from the World Bank Living Standards Measurement Study—Integrated Surveys on Agriculture project to evaluate land degradation variations, the adoption of sustainable land and water management (SLWM) practices, and their impacts on crop yields among smallholder

This research note explores how policymaking can manage the spill-over effects of digital and social infrastructures to support social cohesion, particularly in "left-behind places" (LBPs). While digitalization is often seen as a tool to reduce regional disparities, its implementation frequently neglects the critical role of social infrastructure, risking the reinforcement of existing inequalities

The adoption of conservation practices on working farmland has proven effective in mitigating environmental externalities created by agricultural production. The widespread use of these practices, among other factors, depends on the private benefits and costs associated with them, as well as the timing of the outcomes. Around 40?% of all farmland acres in the U.S. are rented by operators who do not

This research examines how actors responsible for leading organization‐wide efforts use “influence tactics” in pursuit of intraorganizational, or functional, collective action. We draw from intraorganizational influence theory and propose a revised taxonomy of tactics that vary along two dimensions: coerciveness (soft and hard) and orientation (relational and rational). We test factors associated with

For decades, various Austrian spatial planning strategies have emphasized the need to curb land consumption and land sealing. The growth paradigm in concrete land use planning is prevalent to this day: land consumption is still closely coupled to income (GDP) growth, while existing and newly introduced policy instruments were basically ineffective in curbing land consumption. Local decision-makers

This paper proposes a transdisciplinary approach to design future degrowth‐oriented industrial policies in pursuing a well‐being economy in the case of a specific growth model. Specifically, we show that the case of the Visegrad countries (Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, V4s) is a clarion call for the degrowth literature to be much more modest and self‐critical. It addresses the puzzling question

Although red tape remains a significant policy concern and despite meta‐analytical research showing that it impacts employee and performance outcomes, research elucidating why and under which conditions it does so remains scarce. Using social cognitive theory, we first hypothesize that the relationship between red tape and job satisfaction is mediated by self‐efficacy. Second, we argue that red tape
