Trust during crisis: Unveiling the role of perceived procedural transparency
This article investigates how citizens’ perceptions of procedural transparency impact political trust during crises, using COVID-19 as a test case. It focuses on individual perceptions rather than actual government transparency, emphasizing the decision-making process over the inputs or outputs of decisions. The study aims to contribute to the debate by examining the extent to which citizens value decision-making transparency during crises, how t…
How to explain citizens’ declined political trust during the Covid-19 pandemic: A time-series qualitative comparative analysis (TsQCA)
The COVID-19 pandemic gave a new impetus to the study of citizens’ political trust in times of crisis. Especially because trust is seen as an important precondition for citizens’ compliance with crisis measures, research into the determinants of citizens’ political trust became highly relevant. Contrary to trust research during previous crises, existing studies mostly focused on the beginning of the pandemic, when political trust increased in (al…
Advancing Robust Governance in Turbulent Times: The Role of Multi‐Level Governance, Hybrid Governance, and Negotiated Societal Intelligence
New research argues that robust governance based on flexible adaptation and proactive innovation is needed in order to uphold core public functions, purposes, and values in times of societal turbulence. However, we have limited knowledge of the conditions for enhancing robust governance. To fill that knowledge gap, we ask: How can multi‐level governance, hybrid governance, and societal intelligence contribute to the development of robust response…
Introduction to the Special Issue: Political Ethics Regulation in Europe
Politicians Support (and Voters Reward) Intra-Party Reforms to Promote Transparency
Political parties increasingly rely on self-regulation to promote ethical standards in office. The adoption of ethics self-regulation and its ability to induce change is likely to be a function of the responses from politicians and voters. Without external enforcement mechanisms, compliance requires support from legislators. In turn, if voters perceive self-regulation as cheap talk, officials have fewer incentives to acquiesce. The extent to whic…
What Do We Talk about When We Talk about Ethics Regulation in Politics
Political ethics strengthen the bonds of trust between citizens and their representatives, and therefore matter to the overall quality of democracy. Over the past three decades levels of trust in traditional democratic institutions—political parties, parliaments, and governments—have fallen. Concern to restore political trust has prompted countries to engage in a series of reforms to clarify what ethical standards should guide the conduct of poli…
Regulating Ethics in Parliaments: Measuring Regime Robustness
Ethics regulation in parliaments has grown significantly over the last decades, as a result of political scandals, public outcry, and policy diffusion promoted by international organizations. Ethics regulatory regimes vary according to the focus of the norms (compliance vs. integrity or transparency vs. sanctions) and according to the degree of externalization of oversight and enforcement mechanisms (external to parliament, internal, or mixed). T…
Elgar Encyclopedia of Corruption and Society
Delving into the phenomenology of corruption and its impacts on the governance of societies, this cutting edge Encyclopedia considers what makes corruption such a resilient, complex, and global priority for study. This title contains one or more Open Access entries.
Mapping ethics self-regulation within political parties: Norms, oversight and enforcement
This article introduces the new Party Ethics Self-Regulation database, covering 21 indicators on ethics self-regulation organised into three categories (norms, oversight and enforcement) across 200 political parties of 25 countries available in 2020. Internal self-regulatory efforts developed by political parties have been insufficiently addressed in the literature and remain a blind spot in existing databases on political parties. Our analyses i…
Rules or legacies? Industry and political revolving doors in regulators' careers in Portugal
The movement of personnel between roles in regulation, politics, and regulated industries is thought to affect the risks of politicization and industry capture of independent regulatory agencies. To test whether such movements are better explained by formal rules or by sector‐specific patterns, we employ an original dataset of the 152 appointees to 11 IRAs in Portugal over the last 3 decades. We find that variations in the formal independence of …
Does formal independence of regulators change? Evidence from Portuguese agencies
The rise of the regulatory state has led to the global diffusion of independent regulatory agencies (IRAs). IRAs are the result of the tension between the functional demands of regulatory capitalism and the need of politicians to control policies. Their life cycles have not been linear. Their legal statuses have changed over time, affecting their degrees of independence. This article revisits Gilardi's formal independence index, makes an in‐depth…
Judicial Behavior under Austerity: An Empirical Analysis of Behavioral Changes in the Portuguese Constitutional Court, 2002–2016
The austerity policies pursued in several countries during the Eurozone crisis began to call attention to the role played by courts as relevant actors in the context of budgetary and financial stress. The case of the Portuguese Constitutional Court has often been singled out in national and international forums as one characterized by particularly intense activism in this respect. Allegedly, political conflict around austerity policies and the de…
