Rethinking vaccine mandates through the lens of penalties and incentives: A 7S framework approach
to the existing 5S model. It concludes by outlining the significance of this revised conception and framework for vaccine mandate policy research, design, and communication
How Vaccine Mandates Emerged Without a Mandate: Testing Stream Independence in Vietnam's Covid ‐19 Response
This study adapts the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF) to explore why COVID‐19 vaccine mandates were applied at sectoral and subnational levels in Vietnam while the central government maintained that vaccination was voluntary. Document analysis reveals that these mandates arose from the effective coupling of the three streams—problem, policy, and politics—in a setting of authoritarian rule, where the streams function differently (and more uniform…
Drivers of Noncompliance With Vaccine Mandates—The Interplay Between Distrust, Rationality, Morality, and Social Motivation
COVID‐19 amplified the issue of public resistance to government vaccination programs. Little attention has focused on people's moral reasons for noncompliance, which differ from—but often build upon—the epistemic claims they make about vaccine safety and efficacy, disease severity, and the trustworthiness of government. This study explores the drivers of noncompliance with the COVID‐19 vaccination program in Western Australia, using in‐depth inte…
Street-level bureaucrats’ non-compliance in policy transfer: How to assess the success and failure of policy transfer and outcomes
The COVID-19 pandemic has made policy transfer imperative for countries in dealing with this unprecedented global crisis. Policy transfer is theoretically considered successful when an external policy is legally adopted into the recipient country’s legislation and achieves its intended goals. However, the definitions of policy transfer success and failure remain ambiguous, particularly when assessing the discrepancy between policy (non-)complianc…
Culture and Policy Transfer: From Insight to Impact
Culture has long been recognized and conceptualized as an important and indispensable influencing factor in policy transfer. However, inadequate attention has been devoted to the study of culture in this area of scholarship. Using qualitative data, mainly from interviews with policy-makers and policy-takers in Vietnam, this paper examines the relevance of culture in Vietnam’s merit-based policy transfer. It indicates how the conceptualization of …
Bureaucratic gaming: Causes and consequences for policy-making
Bureaucratic gaming: Causes and consequences for policy-making
Performance management (PM) systems are now widely used by governments to hold public organisations to account for the delivery of public policies. Yet, numerous empirical studies have reported that these systems have encouraged bureaucrats to manipulate their behaviour and engage in gaming of performance measures and targets. This article on bureaucratic gaming of performance measures and targets addresses three questions. First, what is bureauc…
Vietnam and China’s Civil Service Merit-based Policies: A Comparative Analysis from the Policy Transfer and Historical Institutionalism Approaches
How do policy transfer mechanisms influence policy outcomes in the context of authoritarianism in Vietnam
The literature on policy transfer shows that it may result in simultaneous policy convergence and policy divergence. However, little is known about how such results happen when transferring from multiple and possibly contrasting sources. This study finds that civil service reforms in Vietnam’s merit-based policies are influenced by both western and Asian models of meritocracy. This makes them both closer to universal ‘best practices’ and at the s…
The politicization of civil service recruitment and promotion in Vietnam
Literature about the politicization of civil service recruitment and promotion generally treats loyalty and competence as being mutually exclusive and considers politicization to have negative consequences. While these studies focus mainly on multi‐party democratic regimes, studies in other political settings like Vietnam show that the conventional wisdom is controversial. Under the sole control of the communist party, Vietnam's civil service rec…
