Applying Kingdon’s Streams Model to Changes in Gun Policy
This teaching case study, based on Kingdon’s policy streams model, is designed for students in Public Affairs and courses focusing on the policy process, advocacy, or decision-making. It engages students with real-world policymaking complexities through gun policy analysis. Students often struggle to grasp the abstract nature of Kingdon’s three streams model—problems, policies, and politics—and how the streams converge to create policy windows. T…
The public sector hold-up problem
A recent wave of government contract cancellations under Termination for Convenience (TfC) clauses underscores the risks embedded in contemporary public contracting. These clauses, designed to preserve flexibility, have increasingly shifted from safeguards of last resort to instruments of routine discretion, exposing suppliers to sudden termination regardless of performance. We theorize this as the public sector hold-up problem, where relationshi…
A tyranny of metrics vs. a tool for learning
Dual Anchors in the Shadow of the Future
This study extends relational contract theory by showing how behavioral reference points can be established through policy. We theorize that contracts are governed by dual anchors: backward-looking relational history and forward-looking renewal expectations. Analyzing 430 public legal service contracts using Heckman selection models, we find relational history increases prices in amendments, revealing its “dark side.” A non-binding renewal clause…
Penser le bénévolat féminin de care
À l’heure où les politiques des villes en appellent à toujours plus d’implication et de participation de la part des habitant·es, nous nous sommes intéressées au bénévolat de care, effectué par des femmes, dans des centres d’animation socioculturelle en Suisse romande – une activité historiquement invisibilisée, à plusieurs titres. La mise en perspective du care sous l’angle de l’éthique permet de repenser les modèles participatifs, ainsi que d’o…
Playing football in Cameroon as a girl
Football, whether played competitively or as a leisure-time activity, is a veritable social institution in Africa, that commands a strong physical and symbolic presence.It gives shape to social bonds and occupies a special place in the public's imagination -globalized modernity, success -that is highly valued, in particular because of the great international careers of some African players.It thus creates opportunities for experiences that involv…
Fighting for What Matters
In this article, we look at twirling baton clubs characterized by a specific sociality which is part of a life form. This was threatened by the demands of sportivisation from the sport institution. The protests expressed by the clubs show the attachment to a logic of care with the aim of protecting the vulnerabilities and the singular identities of the athletes who are mostly young girls
L'amitié entre filles de 9 à 11 ans
Cet article, à partir d’une enquête ethnographique, traite de la catégorisation et de la hiérarchisation des relations amicales produites dans et par un groupe d’une quinzaine de filles, âgées de 9 à 11 ans, fréquentant un accueil pour écoliers en milieu scolaire (APEMS). La hiérarchisation des relations, basée sur l’intensité, la confidentialité et l’investissement temporel, donne lieu à la production de trois catégories d’amitié : les « sœurs d…
What is Public? Big Questions Emerging from the Clash of Legal and Policy Paradigms
This article draws on three main sources to define the constitutional boundaries for outsourcing public goods and services in the age of new governance: (1) public administration research related to public–private distinctions; (2) Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76, federal policy on “inherently governmental” functions; and (3) the State Action Doctrine, the judiciary’s approach for distinguishing state actors from non-state act…
Disputant Experience and Preferences for Mediated or Adjudicated Processes in Administrative Agencies
Research is limited regarding the type and amount of experience that matters for disputant preferences in dispute resolution processes. The authors focus on a unique federal appellate agency dispute resolution program at the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. Participants are professionals with repeat experience who are likely to have future interactions with the agency. Using survey data and regression analyses, the authors find t…
Outsourcing and Organizational Performance
We develop a conceptual framework that integrates and extends existing explanations of outsourcing’s effects on the government workforce and organizational performance. We then test our logic using 5 years of panel data (2010-2014) from U.S. federal agencies. The evidence presents modest negative effects of outsourcing on organizational performance as perceived by employees. The analysis also reveals that outsourcing affects perceived performance…
Should Government Go It Alone or With a Partner? A Comparison of Outcomes from a Work Release Program Using Different Policy Tools
This article compares labor market outcomes from two different approaches to a work release program in Illinois: direct provision by a government and a purchase‐of‐service (POS) contract between government and a public charity. Significantly better employment and earnings outcomes were associated with the POS contract. To better understand the reasons for the success of the POS contract, the authors further examined the specific terms of the cont…
From Formal Rights to ‘Living Rights’
Based on assessment of children's councils through three consecutive investigations, this article aims to analyse the institutionalisation of participative processes offered to children aged seven to twelve in the city of Lausanne, Switzerland. The underlying premise of the analysis is that the recognition of children as social actors or valid interlocutors depends on social, cultural and political contexts. In this study, the authors consider ho…
Des publics juvéniles fabricants de cultures sportives
Une étude menée dans quatre clubs de twirling bâton et de football féminin montre que les filles grandissant dans des milieux populaires participent activement à la production d’une culture sportive. Les cultures sportives sont ainsi requalifiées comme étant le produit d’une intention (l’agir des pratiquantes) et d’un déjà-là (l’organisation sportive). L’organisation de ces clubs de sport donne à voir l’agentivité des enfants et éclaire des situa…
Complex Contracting
Studying commitment from the perspective of collective action
This paper, using ethnographic research, approaches sport clubs in proximate surroundings as small societies. More precisely, the analysis of two sporting activities practiced by girls (baton twirling and football) highlights the fact that commitment is linked to a phenomenon of 'familiarization.' As a matter of fact, this phenomenon addresses two concurrent concerns: bringing the club to life, while dealing with sporting institution requirements…
The Public–Private Distinction
Public administration scholars continue to grapple with how and why public organizations differ from private organizations. The judiciary deals with similar questions in ruling on constitutional claims that apply exclusively to state actors. The authors consider similarities and differences between scholarly and judicial approaches, adding to the body of research attempting to capture the complexities of the public–private distinction. The applic…
Lessons from Resource Dependence Theory for Contemporary Public and Nonprofit Management
The fiscal landscape continues to challenge public and nonprofit managers. Against this backdrop, public and nonprofit managers look for new strategies to address the challenges associated with limited resources. Resource dependence theory provides valuable guidance for managers who want to understand the considerations and consequences relevant to different types of interorganizational partnering. In this article, the theory's core ideas are des…
Networked Governance
Race, Gender, and Government Contracting
The U.S. Congress created the Small Disadvantaged Business ( SDB ) and Women‐Owned Small Business ( WOSB ) programs to promote fairness in government contracting. In this article, the authors examine whether increases in racial and gender representation in federal agencies correlate with the proportion of contract dollars awarded to women‐ and minority‐owned firms. Using the theory of representative bureaucracy as a starting point, they find evid…
The Link between Information and Bargaining Efficiency
The article reviews the relevant theory and research linking information and bargaining efficiency and presents results of an analysis of negotiation times associated with 290 franchise renewal agreements. Data reveal three main findings: (1) Information revealing a history of poor performance by the supplier resulted in a 74% increase in negotiation time; (2) A 1% increase in the value of a contract increased negotiation time by 18%; and (3) the…
The Effects of Competition‐Based Public Policy on Contractual Arrangements
When competition is naturally limited, policymakers craft regulation to obtain effects similar to those that would have occurred in the presence of competition. In many instances, regulation of this type is not successful in overcoming market failures. We rely on property rights theory and transaction cost theory to predict when state‐level policy statements will actually lead to a redistribution of benefits at the city level. We test this theory…
La participation des enfants au débat public
L’analyse des conseils d’enfants en milieu urbain montre que les rapports sociaux de sexe et par extension les inégalités entre filles et garçons sont des impensés de l’intervention professionnelle auprès de mineur·e·s. Dans cette perspective, ces espaces d’expression destinés aux enfants, faute de prendre en considération les enjeux liés à l’accès à la parole publique et à la participation, contribuent très largement à produire et reproduire les…
A Very Tangled Web
A recent Indiana Court of Appeals ruling raises significant concerns about the continuing erosion of the line between public and private, and the proliferation of the “unintended consequences” that flow from sectoral blurring. The authors use that case to introduce a broader discussion of the merits and drawbacks of public–private contracting, and the challenges in distinguishing among organizational types in an era that has seen considerable ove…
Community Action in Drug Policy
Heroin overdose was an important issue in the nineties in Switzerland and drug related problems - especially open drug scenes - constituted a major problem for cities. At that time harm reduction was being introduced on larger scale in the urban context to reduce public health problems and to regulate public order. However, ideological barriers to this approach remained important in sub-urban areas. As a consequence, in one of these areas - a lar…
