  • Interlocal collaborative processes and network position

    Guimin Zheng, Hongtao Yi et al.ARTICLEPublic Management Review2025Cited by: 2References: 63

    This study investigates how network actors’ participation in collaborative processes improves environmental outcomes and how their closeness centrality moderates these relationships. Relying on a city-level panel dataset for 76 cities from six urban regions that participate in China’s joint atmospheric pollution mitigation programs, we found that participation in joint meetings, interlocal agreements, and joint implementations positively influenc…

  • Finding Common Ground

    Open AccessFrancis BerryARTICLEPS Political Science & Politics2023References: 49

    It is quite an honor to be selected for this John Gaus Award Lecture by a committee of my peers. I want to thank my husband, Bill Berry—my partner for 48 years and sometimes coauthor—and certainly my children, Katie Berry and David Berry, who have diverted my attention from policy studies for 35 years now and made life much more enjoyable by their personalities. I especially want to thank my many coauthors who have kept research and writing an en…

  • Explaining interstate military friendly policy diffusion across U.S. universities

    Daniel L Fay, Abby Kinch et al.ARTICLEPublic Management Review2022

    This article examines the diffusion of diversity management policies across large state bureaucracies that operate in a national marketplace of ideas. We analyze organizational antecedents and horizontal, vertical, and vertical-diagonal diffusion mechanisms associated with the degree of diversity management convergence among research universities from 2008-2016. Findings suggest the long-theorized, but rarely measured, non-linear pattern of diffu…

  • The Individual Health Insurance Mandate and Veterans Health Coverage

    Open AccessDongjin Oh, Frances Stokes Berry et al.ARTICLEArmed Forces & Society2021Cited by: 4References: 29

    In December 2017, Congress repealed the individual insurance mandate penalty. Given the poor health status of veterans, their higher demands for health insurance, and the substantial number of uninsured veterans, the repeal of the individual mandate should have a significant impact on the veterans. This article investigates how the repeal of the individual mandate effective in January 2019 is likely to affect the number of uninsured veterans and …

  • Strategically Marketing Florida’s Cities

    Open AccessMichael Blair Thomas, Daniel L Fay et al.ARTICLEThe American Review of Public…2020Cited by: 1References: 14

    Over the course of this decade, Florida has emerged as one of America’s fastest growing and most visited states. As many of the state’s municipalities compete for opportunities to expand their tax base and achieve other municipally centered goals, they are faced with the challenge of needing to strategically differentiate themselves from their peers to attract opportunities. One way to accomplish this is through using marketing as a tool of strat…

  • Can Infused Publicness Enhance Public Value Creation? Examining the Impact of Government Funding on the Performance of Social Enterprises in South Korea

    Open AccessDonwe Choi, Francis BerryARTICLEThe American Review of Public…2020Cited by: 1References: 20

    Numerous countries employ social enterprise as an alternative way of addressing social, economic, and environmental problems, with this new approach steadily gaining strength over the last two decades. Despite this growth, few empirical studies have examined the effects of government policies on social enterprise development. Seeking to fill this gap, this study examines the impact of government funding on the social and economic performance of s…

  • Deterring Drunk Driving

    Open AccessSuk Joon Hwang, Francis Berry et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019

    Policy innovation and diffusion studies have, since 1990, generally focused on a specific policy over time. Yet, few studies have considered if and why states adopt related multiple policies-a package of reforms-in a policy area. Are more innovative states in DUI policy likely to adopt a comprehensive set of policies or use them as substitutes for each other? In this study, we assess how overall state innovativeness relates to the adoption of six…

  • Explaining the strictness of medical marijuanaregulations in states

    Open AccessGook Jin Kim, Suk Joon Hwang et al.ARTICLEThe Social Science Journal2019Cited by: 2References: 33

    While 33 states and the District of Columbia have adopted laws legalizing medical marijuana, no studies have considered explaining how and why state requirements and restrictions vary, including eligibility requirements, the amount of legal marijuana permitted, sanctions for abuse, and other provisions in state laws that range from more permissive laws to stricter and more limited laws. This study explains the strictness or extent of medical mari…

  • Policy Design and Achieving Social Outcomes

    Open AccessDonwe Choi, Frances Stokes Berry et al.ARTICLEPublic Administration Review2019Cited by: 13References: 5

    This article compares American, British, and Korean social enterprise policies to explore how government policy design shapes social enterprises and how “social benefit” and “public value” are defined.

Applying Bozeman ' s publicness theory, the au…

  • Limits on Innovativeness in Local Government

    Open AccessRichard M Walker, Francis Berry et al.ARTICLEPublic Administration2015Cited by: 13References: 16

    Theory and evidence on the diffusion and antecedents of innovation in public organizations demonstrate that organizations respond to their environment and react by being more or less innovative. However, questions about the limits of responses to organizational task environments remain unexplored: in short, what is the appropriate level of environmental capacity and when does the environment become too complex or dynamic for innovation to occur? …

  • Stakeholders in the Same Bed with Different Dreams

    Seunghoo Lim, Francis Berry et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Administration…2015Cited by: 2References: 31

    The "Risk Society" as Ulrich Beck (Beck, Ulrich. 1992. Risk society: Towards a new modernity. London, UK: Sage, Beck, Ulrich. 1999. World risk society. Cambridge, UK: Polity Press) has called modern society, has changed the policy dynamics of many high-risk policies. Policy conflicts occur due to both physically objective risks and socially constructed risks. Risk politicization means that issue expansion and attention cycles are likely to be rel…

  • A Theoretical Framework on the Determinants of Strategic Cities

    Open AccessMyungjung Kwon, Frances Stokes Berry et al.ARTICLEThe American Review of Public…2012Cited by: 6References: 25

    Strategic planning is a commonly used management technique, but most state and city studies on strategic planning are descriptive and have not developed a clear theory as to why cities use strategic planning. In this paper, we develop a framework for measuring cities’ use of strategic planning, that includes factors related to form of government, community wealth, and other community attributes as well as the more commonly examined factors relate…

  • Testing the Development and Diffusion of E‐Government and E‐Democracy

    Open AccessChung‐pin Lee, Kaiju Chang et al.ARTICLEPublic Administration Review2011Cited by: 53References: 9

    E‐government uses information and communication technology to provide citizens with information about public services. Less pervasive, e‐democracy offers greater electronic community access to political processes and policy choices. Few studies have examined these twin applications separately, although they are widely discussed in the literature as distinct. The authors, Chung‐pin Lee of Tamkang University and Kaiju Chang and Frances Stokes Berry…

  • Modeling the Outcomes of State Abortion Funding Referenda

    Open AccessJongho Roh, Francis Berry et al.ARTICLEState Politics & Policy Quarterly2008Cited by: 14References: 53

    While Lowi (1964) claims that policies can be classified as one of three types, distributive, redistributive, or regulatory, his work has been criticized as incomplete. Policies are frequently multidimensional, and his categories are neither comprehensive nor mutually exclusive. A fourth policy type, morality policy, has now been well-established as distinct from the other three types (e.g., Meier 1994; Mooney 2001). Evidence suggests that some p…

  • Three Traditions of Network Research

    This article identifies and describes the development of three parallel streams of literature about network theory and research: social network analysis, policy change and political science networks, and public management networks. Noting that these traditions have sometimes been inattentive to each other's work, the authors illustrate the similarities and differences in the underlying theoretical assumptions, types of research questions addresse…
