China’s biodiversity loss across provinces driven by agricultural production and consumption
China is among the most biodiverse countries in the world. Its biodiversity loss associated with land use is mainly driven by agricultural production and consumption. However, biodiversity loss driven by specific agricultural products at the subnational level has not yet been investigated. This knowledge gap hinders the development of tailored policies for ecological compensation and consumption-side interventions. Therefore, we employed the Food…
We're All in This Together?’ A Survey Experiment on the Perceived Legitimacy of Region‐Specific Crisis Interventions in Germany and the Netherlands
In responding to crises, governments often need to enact restrictions on the freedoms of citizens that might be perceived as intrusive and unfair. 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 f…
Multilevel governance and responses to the Covid-19 pandemic: A systematic literature review
As the Covid-19 pandemic demanded coordinated action from governments at all levels, the role of federalism, decentralization, supranational authorities and other multilevel governance (MLG) institutions and processes in responses to it has come under much scholarly scrutiny. Three years on, much of this literature remains fragmented and in need of synthesis. In this systematic literature review we summarize the literature on the effects of MLG o…
Between life and death: Organizational change in central state bureaucracies in cross-national comparison
Identifying and explaining change in the structure of central state bureaucracies and the determinants of survival of individual public organizations are two closely related areas of research in public administration. We aim to bridge the gap between these two main strands of studies of organizational change by presenting a novel approach to collecting event history data for public organizations. We have developed this framework as part of the St…
Government capacity, societal trust or party preferences: What accounts for the variety of national policy responses to the Covid-19 pandemic in Europe
European states responded to the rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 with a variety of public policy measures. In this article we ask what can account for this variation in policy responses, and we identify a number of factors related to institutions, general governance and specific health-sector related capacities, societal trust, government type, and party preferences as possible determinants. Using multivariate regression and surviva…
Ministerial influence on the machinery of government: Insights on the Inside
The structure and organisation of the machinery of government are key to the ambitions of political coalitions. When portfolio allocation and agencification are a function of political choice, political volatility should also affect the internal structure of government administrations. This study tests the effects of political turnover of individual ministers and of the political ideology of coalitions on a dataset of intra-ministerial changes in…
Cultural capital and the density of organised interests lobbying the European Parliament
Drawing on a new dataset the article investigates a case study of the population of interest representatives lobbying the European Parliament. It examines the role of economic and cultural resources to account for the representation of organised interests from different EU member states. It adds to the existing literature on the density of organised interests by showing that in addition to economic resources, cultural capital plays a significant …
Why Traditional Responses to Blame Games Fail: The Importance of Context, Rituals, and Sub‐blame Games in the Face of Raves Gone Wrong
Following crises and fiascos, a framing contest takes place in which actors have to account for their actions and might get blamed for what went wrong. An inadequate response to blame can lead to resignation or losing a re‐election. Currently, the literature on blame games focuses mainly on the policy, agency, and – especially – presentational strategies one can use to respond to blame. Based on our analysis of the blame games following two festi…
Interest organizations across economic sectors: Explaining interest group density in the European Union
The number of interest organizations (density) varies across policy domains, political issues and economic sectors. This shapes the nature and outcomes of interest representation. In this contribution, we explain the density of interest organizations per economic sector in the European Union on the basis of political and economic institutional factors. Focusing on business interest representation, we show that economic institutions structure the …

Representatives of the public? Public opinion and interest group activity
Although scholars have long speculated about how organised interests link the public to decision makers, there has actually been little empirical research on this important element of democratic theory. This important gap in the literature is addressed in this article by examining, in addition to other supply‐side and demand‐side factors, whether groups mobilise on issues in policy areas that are regarded as salient by the public. Based on an ana…

Communicative Language Tests: Tasks, Enabling Skills, Formats, and Measurement Criteria
How to Develop Communicative Language Tests
It is often said that the moves towards realism and communication in the teaching of language are not being matched by developments in language testing; that we are having to test progress in ‘communicative’ learning programmes by tests built on ‘structural’ lines. Perhaps in no other area of language teaching is the ‘form versus function’ battle being more vigorously waged. And yet, in spite of the difficulty of reconciling the demands of realis…
