“…Furthermore, a regression to technocratic self-regulation, which entails higher risk regulatory capture (Hancher & Moran, 1989), has been abandoned at this point in time. Given these complex issues, and the fact that expertise is currently controlled by Anglo-American audit firms (Botzem, 2012), other approaches for improving accounting oversight on a global scale warrant consideration.…”

“…Under such conditions, tightening regulation or introducing more structural changes has been a state's main response to crisis at various times and locales (Hancher & Moran, 1989;Malsch & Gendron, 2011;Zeff, 2003). Indeed, a senior public servant has linked the establishment of ELTE with the ASE affair, suggesting that the creation of the Greek OB "was apparently brought forward by the scandal" (interview, 26 September 2013).…”

The introduction of accounting and auditing oversight boards (OBs) has been promoted on a global scale as a key component of the international financial architecture that has emerged over the past two decades. Such institutions, modeled on the Anglo-American tradition, are domestically organized and embedded within distinctively diverse institutional contexts. Their role is to ease agency problems, improve the quality of financial reporting, and help provide stability in the global financial system. We employ an institutional approach, located within the broader political economy framework of global capitalism, to examine the establishment and operation of the new regulatory regime in Greece. Greece, a member of the European Union, exhibits characteristics of a "delegative" democracy, i.e. a traditionally weak institutionalization, reform (in)capacity problems and a clientelistic political system. Our case study shows that the formation and operation of the newly-established system of oversight is conditioned by local political and economic constraints and, thus, does not automatically translate into concrete benefits for the quality of financial reporting. We also draw attention to the structural mismatch between a progressing globalized financial integration and the fragmented nature of the system of oversight, and illustrate that OBs' independence from local governments is an important but neglected issue.

“…Decision-makers in the public government arena develop different views of the world and adopt, not less than others, diverse behaviours with respect to the inclusion of publics and social interests. For example, the framework can help clarify aspects of social preferences as reflected in the analysis of the aims and outcomes of industrial policy (Cowling and Tomlinson, 2011;Chang, 1997), social policy, 8 in the processes characterising regulatory arenas (Hancher and Moran, 1989), and more generally in practices of problem solving in public policy dilemmas (Avio, 2002). …”

We suggest that the pragmatist theory of public interest has implications for the contraposition between self-regarding and other-regarding preferences in economics. We reconsider this distinction and replace some of the existing categories with the idea of inclusive and exclusive social preferences over both organizational and strategic decision-making domains. The value is in the idea of both exclusive and inclusive preferences being social in nature and in the application both to the internal organization and its impacts on people outside. Our framework explains governance heterogeneity by contrasting exclusive and inclusive social preferences in cooperatives, social enterprises, as well as traditional corporations. A discussion of the evolution of social preferences is addressed through examples and regional experiences. We argue that the social preferences perspective contributes to understand the cause of strategic failure in the development of localities and regions.JEL: B00, L2, L3

“…The understanding of regulation as decentred or polycentric invites the image of a regulatory space that is occupied by a variety of actors. The analytical construct of a regulatory space was first developed by Hancher and Moran 16 based on Crouch's metaphor of 'polity space' . 17 The regulatory space is defined as 'the range of regulatory issues subject to public decision' , including issues of safety or pricing in a particular domain.…”
