To enter or not to enter
This article examines how citizens prioritize different motivations for complying with anti-COVID measures, using Goal-Framing Theory (GFT), which posits a hierarchy of normative, gain, and hedonic goals. Using a conjoint experiment embedded in an online survey of a representative sample of 3,291 Spanish respondents, the study analyzes people's preferences regarding entering a bar. Fieldwork was carried out during the Omicron wave of the virus in…
Attitudes towards education spending when facing a fiscal trade-off
Public investment in education is popular in advanced countries. This paper examines whether such public support prevails when individuals are asked to pay additional income taxes. Focusing on Spain, it draws on one original survey (with parents and young people aged 16–24) featuring a trade-off experiment to gauge individuals’ willingness to accept additional income taxes in exchange for increased education spending. Investigating the moderators…
Regulatory Approaches in the Face of a Pandemic
Regulatory instruments to manage the COVID‐19 pandemic have been the object of rich scholarly debates, primarily focused on early national responses to the crisis. We investigate variation in sub‐national regulatory approaches when a crisis is normalized, its association with competing political ideas about the health‐economy trade‐off and the coercion‐persuasion continuum, and the specificities of the socio‐economic context to be regulated. We s…
When trade-offs touch self-interests
This paper investigates public attitudes towards education spending based on a survey experiment. It enquires whether a trade-off between education and other welfare domains, namely healthcare, unemployment benefits and pensions, diminishes support for higher public spending on education. Drawing on five Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries (Italy, Spain, Greece, Mexico and Turkey), the paper demonstrates that e…
Can co-production enhance professional public service provision? evidence from vocational training programme for people with disabilities in China
Recent research on professional services has sought to pay nuanced attention to the relationship between professionalism and public service performance. At the same time, existing literature has examined the role of co-production in local public service delivery but has primarily remained theoretical and qualitative, calling for more empirical testing. Bridging these two different streams of literature, this article is the first to investigate ho…
Intergovernmental veto points in crisis management
Italy and Spain were the first countries affected by the shift of the pandemic epicentre from east to west. The rapid spread of the virus in allegedly similar social settings, the relatively high numbers of cases and casualties, and the adoption of drastic containment measures were similar in the two countries during the first wave of the pandemic. Both countries are enmeshed in an unstable political equilibrium at the centre, governed by recentl…
Public Administration and Its Problem-Solving Capacities
Spanish public administration belongs to the Rechtsstaat tradition in which the state is society’s driving force and relies on a procedural and legalistic system to engage with citizens. This chapter argues that this tradition has an impact on the state capacity, in particular in the coordination, delivery, and analytical functions of central government, whose role shifted towards coordination and regulation after the devolution of powers to the …
Varieties of Regulatory Welfare Regimes in Middle-Income Countries
The expansion of social welfare regimes in middle-income countries (MICs) has become a global trend that has involved the adaption of robust social assistance programs aiming to alleviate poverty and diminish inequalities. We analyze conditional cash transfers in Brazil, Mexico, and Turkey, identifying the types of regulatory regimes that exist in each, namely “loose decentralism” in Brazil, “strict centralism” in Mexico, and “subcontracted dirig…
Public–private partnerships
The article examines to what extent Dutch and Spanish officials make trade-offs between process and result accountability during the design, management and adaptation of contracts for public–private partnerships. The countries’ distinct administrative traditions (legalistic versus managerial-oriented, respectively) are expected to be influential. Analysing contracts, policy documents and interviews with 89 Dutch and Spanish project members, the a…
Strategic Management in Public Services Organizations
This chapter first provides an overview of the academic field of strategic management and highlights some schools with strong relevance to public agencies as well as private firms. These schools include: the learning school; the resource-based view (RBV) and the strategy as practice tradition. Porterian models may also be applicable in marketised New Public Management (NPM) systems. We also consider whether these schools can be applied to Europea…
The culture of risk regulation
Disasters challenge the equilibrium of regulatory regimes and make policy shifts more likely. Using an institutional theory of cultural biases and the concept of cultural “surprise”, this article analyses the direction and intensity of media argumentation in respect of policy shifts. Instead of assuming a demand for greater State intervention after dramatic focusing events, as suggested by other theoretical frames, cultural theory opens a variety…
Mayors and Corruption in Spain
In Spain, there has been widespread corruption in the area of public procurement at the local level, although corrupt practices have not affected all municipalities to the same extent. By comparing two municipalities with ‘clean’ and ‘rotten’ corruption records, this article shows that relatively independent bureaucrats—so-called trustees—can act as a check to prevent political moral hazard. Yet, in order to transform their de jure supervisory po…
Responsive regulation in public‐private partnerships
Design‐Build‐Finance‐Maintain‐Operate (DBFMO) contracts are a particular type of public‐private partnership whereby governments transfer the responsibility for the design, construction, financing, maintenance, and operation of a public infrastructure or utility service building to a multi‐headed private consortium through a long‐term performance contract. These arrangements present a typical principal‐agent problem because they incorporate a “car…
Las agencias públicas en España
El objetivo de este artículo es contribuir al análisis de la autonomía, control y gestión de las agencias públicas en España, a partir de las percepciones de sus responsables sobre su capacidad financiera y operativa, así como sobre sus mecanismos de rendición de cuentas. Para ello, este trabajo se basa en las opiniones de los altos cargos de las agencias, recogidas a través de una encuesta realizada entre julio y noviembre de 2013. La encuesta s…
Activating Citizens to Participate in Collective Co-Production of Public Services
User and community co-production of public services first became topical in the late 1970s, both in private and public sectors. Recent interest has been triggered by recognition that the outcomes for which public agencies strive rely on multiple stakeholders, particularly service users and the communities in which they live. Extra salience has been given to the potential of co-production due to fiscal pressures facing governments since 2008. Howe…
Correlates of Co-production
We employ data from an original survey of citizens in the UK, France, Germany, Denmark, and the Czech Republic to examine correlates of citizen co-production of public services in three key policy areas: public safety, the environment, and health. The correlates of co-production we consider include demographic factors (age, gender, education, and employment status), community characteristics (urban, non-urban), performance perceptions (how good a…
Trajectories of Administrative Reform
The influence of national administrative institutions on contemporary reforms has often been noted but insufficiently tested. This article enriches the comparative perspective of administrative reform policies by focusing on four interrelated dimensions: the choices of reformers, institutional constraints, timing and sequencing and long-term trajectories. This article tries to determine whether most similar administrative systems exhibit analogou…
The Executive at Work during Times of Crisis
The ‘credit crunch’ of 2007, associated with sub-prime mortgages in the United States, put national executives in an ongoing crisis management mode. The global financial meltdown of 2007–2008 turned into a widespread economic crisis between autumn 2008 and late 2009. By 2010, the economic crisis had turned into a sovereign debt crisis, with Greece, Ireland and Portugal having to face bailout packages and the threat of a default. At the time of wr…

A Time for Public Administration
Entering its 89th year of publication, Public Administration is one of the oldest journals in the field. 1 The journal was established back in 1923 to create a platform for discussion of the challenges that government and public services faced in the post-First World War period.Since its inception, Public Administration has been committed to publishing (as the journal's first editorial announced) articles that make 'actual contributions to knowle…
The institutionalization of meritocracy in Latin American regulatory agencies
Research into 72 regulatory authorities in four policy sectors (pharmacy, telecommunications, finances and pensions) in 18 Latin American countries shows that the institutionalization of meritocratic practices in the recruitment and careers of its staff has not been widespread, even in countries with a professionalized bureaucracy. The implementation of meritocracy could be partially explained through the policy sector and the influence of episte…
Power distribution in ambiguous times
This article examines the dynamics of executive decision-making in Germany and Spain during the global financial and economic crisis between 2008 and 2009. It applies the power-distributional approach and argues that distinct features of the institutional context affect the institutionalisation of decision-making arrangements during crises. In particular, it examines how the principles structuring cabinet and the nexus between the executive and t…
The role of Spanish central government in a multi-level State
The Spanish polity has made the transition in the last three decades from a centralized system to a quasi-federal one characterized as having features of a shared power model with overlapping powers among levels of government. The new system has implied a change in the functions of central government from service delivery to planning and policy design. Enquiring beyond the hierarchy—non-hierarchy role of central government of intergovernmental st…
Failed policies but institutional innovation through “layering” and “diffusion” in Spanish central administration
Purpose This paper aims to show that the Spanish central administration, as a representative of the Napoleonic tradition, has undergone considerable managerial changes in non‐autonomous and semi‐autonomous agencies characterised by their direct involvement in service delivery in spite of the failure of macro‐changes and radical reforms of public administration. Design/methodology/approach This paper provides case studies of “paths” of changes in …
