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 article argues that a focus on executive politics - the politics of the executive and of the execution of policies - offers a key avenue to maintain a useful conversation that focuses on perennial questions that are shared across research traditions. 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. Third, it discusses the challenges that a turn towards executive politics faces. This article concludes by considering the position of British public administration in the field of executive politics.}, language = {en} } @incollection{WegrichLodge, author = {Wegrich, Kai and Lodge, Martin}, title = {Enhancing Administrative Capacities for better Governance: Seven Recommendations}, series = {Governance Report 2014}, booktitle = {Governance Report 2014}, publisher = {Oxford Univ.
