This paper assesses three logics of control widely associated with governance, namely multi-level governance, the regulatory state and performance management. It questions to what extent these logics are present, are reinforcing or are mutually self-destructive in their effects. This paper explores the field of meat inspection as a critical aspect of the Europeanized food safety regime and concentrates on the cases of Denmark and Germany. The paper concludes that the three logics of control's effects are interactive and that, far from being mutually reinforcing, the various logics are mutually self-destructive and destabilizing.}, language = {en} } @article{WegrichLodgeMcElroy, author = {Wegrich, Kai and Lodge, Martin and McElroy, Gail}, title = {Dodgy kebabs everywhere? : Variety of Worldviews and Regulatory Change}, series = {Public Administration}, volume = {88}, journal = {Public Administration}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {1467-9299}, doi = {10.1111/j.1467-9299.2010.01811.x}, pages = {247 -- 266}, abstract = {In the study of risk regulation, grid-group cultural theory has attracted considerable interest.

This paper explores the most ambitious attempt by the UK central government so far to draw on "crowdsourcing" to consult and act on regulatory reform, the "Red Tape Challenge." We find that the results of this exercise do not represent any major change to traditional challenges to consultation processes. Instead, we suggest that the extensive institutional arrangements for crowdsourcing were hardly significant in informing actual policy responses: neither the tone of the crowdsourced comments, the direction of the majority views, nor specific comments were seen to matter. Instead, it was processes within the executive that shaped the overall governmental responses to this initiative. The findings, therefore, provoke wider debates about the use of social media in rulemaking and consultation exercises.}, language = {en} } @article{WegrichLodge, author = {Wegrich, Kai and Lodge, Martin}, title = {Public administration and executive politics: perennial questions in changing contexts}, series = {Public Policy and Administration}, volume = {27}, journal = {Public Policy and Administration}, number = {3}, publisher = {Sage}, address = {Los Angeles [u.a.]}, issn = {0952-0767}, doi = {10.1177/0952076712438724}, pages = {212 -- 229}, abstract = {The fields of political science and public administration are said to be drifting apart.

This conversation should concentrate on the 'administrative factor' in political life and the 'political factor' in administrative life. This article develops this argument in three steps. First, it defines the field of executive politics. Second, it considers the rationale why a focus on executive politics is pertinent at this particular time.
