The world's largest saddle dam at risk: Multisensor geohazard analysis and downstream impacts
The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) Saddle Dam, which holds approximately 89% of the main reservoir’s live storage, is one of the largest and most critical auxiliary dams globally; its construction on Ethiopia's Blue Nile has consequently raised significant regional and international concerns regarding potential environmental impacts and geohazard risks. This study presents a comprehensive risk assessment of the GERD Saddle Dam by integrat…
Quantifying global internal displacement risk at the hazard-vulnerability-conflict nexus
This study introduces a novel, diagnostic hazard-specific displacement risk index that integrates high-resolution hazard data with social vulnerability metrics and historical displacement records, uncovering overlooked compound risks in conflict areas and links between environmental stress and instability. Our methodology combines historical displacement records with environmental, demographic, and socioeconomic indicators to identify high-risk r…
From Buck-Passing to Rapid Response: A Comparative Study of Beijing’s Complaint Handling Before and After Jiesu Jiban Reform
Geotemporal disparities in hip fractures burden among individuals aged ≥55 years (1990–2021) with projections to 2050
Background: Hip fractures (HFs) are common among older adults and represent a major cause of long-term functional impairment. The lack of up-to-date epidemiological data hinders the development of effective public health policies. This study investigates trends in HFs among individuals aged ≥55 years (HFs (≥55 years)), providing essential evidence to inform future prevention strategies. Methods: Using Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 data, we …
Performance ranking, span of control, and grassroots government responsiveness
Policy makers have increasingly relied on performance ranking regimes based on information collected through public complaint systems to improve grassroots governments' accountability, transparency, and responsiveness. This article contributes to the existing literature by examining whether grassroots governments strategically adjust their responsiveness according to their ranking positions and the number of their peers that are supervised by the…
How Does Homeownership Shape Public Service Coproduction? Evidence from a Public Complaint System in Beijing, China
Homeownership has been widely regarded as a critical determinant of public participation in social science research. However, the role of homeownership in public service coproduction has been under-researched. This study advances a theory of public service coproduction that accounts for the effect of homeownership and its underlying mechanisms by theorizing that homeownership increases coproduction participation by directly motivating individuals…
Patronage, tournament, and political reward: Evidence from the model county party secretary in China
This study focuses on the honor of Model County Party Secretary, a prestigious award bestowed by the Communist Party of China to recognize exceptional county party secretaries. Specifically, we investigate how county party secretaries' patronage networks with senior politicians and their relative economic performance compared to other political contestants can impact their likelihood of winning this honor. We collect demographic and biographic da…
Honor List” and “Shame Roll: Quasi-Experimental Evidence of the Effect of Performance Feedback under Political Control
This article examines how the use of an “honor list” and “shame roll” as a means of performance feedback can influence governments’ future performance improvement, focusing on a prominent performance management reform implemented in Chinese local governments. We draw upon classic behavioral theories of organizations to propose testable hypotheses. The empirical analyses use 3,300 observations based on the 333 grassroots governments of the capital…
Public Administration in China—Evolution and Current Challenge
Taking an ecological approach, this article examines the resumption, formation, and development of public administration (PA) as a discipline in China. Through content analysis and process tracing, we argue that the social contexts during China's transition period and existing knowledge, both endogenous and exogenous, are major forces shaping the nature of the discipline and pushing its development. We also point out that Chinese PA now is facing…
