“…Good administration during an emergency transcends politics. As Demir (2009) suggested, the greater the ambiguity, "The more often administrators can engage in political activity with little chance that it will be visible to the other party or to the public in general. This poses great risk for democratic accountability" (p. 523).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has made it clear that a sense of community responsibility is crucial to mitigate the effects of viral spread. Many citizens across the world have heeded the call to isolate and self-distance, yet large numbers of individuals do not seem to understand their responsibility for others. This article explores how a sense of community responsibility is born in community contexts, how various features of a crisis impact community responsibility, and how public administration plays a crucial role in facilitating mitigation and solutions to crisis. The article also explores the utility of the Community Experience Model in crisis management contexts, and sets the stage for further exploration of community experiences in disaster and crisis scholarship and practice.

“…28 To date, scholarly inquiry into the relationship between policy and politics has identified two major positions, one building on separation and the other on politicisation. 29 As an illustration of the latter, critical international law (which is far ahead of EU law in discussing expertise) has held that the authority of experts in policy-making relies on the framing effect that expertise has. By shaping and reshaping issues, experts are able to (unduly) influence the domain of politics.…”

This edited collection examines the changing role of the legal profession as experts in the context of European Union policy-making. Drawing on theoretical and empirical research and the idea of law as a social and political practice, this socio-legal work brings together a group of legal scholars and political scientists to investigate how lawyers, through the deployment of their expertise and knowledge, act as experts in matters of EU related policy-making at the national, European and international levels. It provides new theoretical viewpoints and untold stories from legal experts themselves, promotes an evolving definition of what constitutes legal expertise and what shapes legal experts in a time when experts are in equal measure both revered and ignored, and introduces new critical voices in the field of EU socio-legal studies.

“…2 2 From the perspective of normative democratic theory, perceptions of civil servants may be considered as less relevant compared to perceptions of the citizenry. However, the literature on politico‐administrative relations (e.g., Demir, 2009; Hood & Lodge, 2006), as well as many empirical accounts (e.g., Migchelbrink & Van de Walle, 2022) highlight the sometimes crucial position and role of civil servants in policy decision‐making. …”

Towards a multifaceted measure of perceived legitimacy of participatory governance

et al. 2023

Policy decision‐making modes in governance contexts have become increasingly participatory. This raises questions about legitimacy, and how to measure this concept. The current article advances a multifaceted measurement of perceived legitimacy of policy decision‐making modes in participatory governance, capturing the three components of legitimacy (input, throughput, and output) with two items each. This six‐item measure was tested in a vignette survey (total N = 4583), which was administered among four types of democratic stakeholders: politicians, civil servants, civil society, and citizens. Respondents completed the scale for four different policy decision‐making modes (representative, consultative, co‐decisive, and decisive). Our six‐item scale shows excellent internal consistency as an encompassing measure, while at the same time also allowing for fine‐grained analyses on difference patterns in the input, throughput, and output components of legitimacy. As such, it provides a relevant and parsimonious tool for future research that requires a multifaceted measurement of the perceived legitimacy of participatory governance.
