NGOs As Regulatory Intermediaries
Involving regulatory intermediaries (RIs) such as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) enriches participation in regulatory policy implementation. However, it also exposes the regulatory system to new forms of capture. Through a perspective of social and institutional embeddedness, the study investigates regulatory capture through NGO‐RIs. Examing outcomes of the regulatory system of China's Environmental Public Interest Litigation (EPIL) with in…

Promoting Policy Implementation Through Demonstration Program Construction
Implementation programs, such as demonstration programs (DPs), have garnered significant attention in both research and practice. Existing literature on DPs predominantly focuses on their impact on participant performance, overlooking the mechanisms through which DPs shape policy implementation processes. This study investigates how DPs are systematically constructed to facilitate broader implementation by disentangling their core design requirem…
Governance capacity and regulatory enforcement
How street-level organizations enforce regulations carries important governance implications. Through reviewing the regulatory enforcement literature and categorizing it into three broad governance modes, this article discusses the individual and organizational capacity prerequisites for street-level organizations to enact the corresponding government–society relationship and improve governance outcomes. Through analyzing enforcement challenges f…

Has the establishment of the China Food and Drug Administration in 2013 and the substantial revision of the Food Safety Law in 2015 addressed earlier implementation deficits in China’s food safety policy? Through a comprehensive literature review and series of in-depth interviews with local regulatory officials in Beijing, this study observed improvements in the frontline regulatory system regarding its adherence to regulations, corruption preven…
Managing for Legitimacy
Recent literature on bureaucratic structure has gone further than studying discretions given to bureaucrats in policy making, and much attention is now paid to understanding how bureaucratic agencies are managed. This article proposes that the way in which executive governments manage their agencies varies according to their constitutional setting and that this relationship is driven by considerations of the executive's governing legitimacy. Insp…
Regulatory Compliance when the Rule of Law Is Weak
What drives regulatees' behaviors when the institution of law is weak? This study seeks to answer the question by examining environmental regulation enforcement in China. Based on survey and interview data on Hong Kong-owned manufacturing enterprises in the Pearl River Delta Region, Guangdong Province, we found that their decisions to adopt basic and proactive environmental management practices were less driven by concerns for legality than by th…
Agencies and policy in an administrative state
A survey of agency chief executives in Hong Kong found that they perceive themselves to have high levels of policy autonomy. This could be interpreted in two ways: either that agency chiefs perceive they can exert power over their ‘principals’ through taking advantage of information asymmetries and by adopting other stratagems to evade supervision; or that they feel they possess influence through mutually supportive participation in policy-making…
Task Matters
What might account for the varying degrees of autonomy granted to public agencies? One broad range of answers is provided by a structural-instrumental perspective on organizations, which assumes that the assignment of autonomy is a response to structural features of organizing on the one hand and to task considerations on the other. Taking the case of Hong Kong, data from a survey of chief executives of 111 government agencies on perceptions of a…
