  The EU's power is expanding, calling for reassessments of its normative legitimacy. This article proposes a novel criterion for assessing the EU's legitimacy: symmetry in the delegation of power. We illustrate the usefulness of this criterion through an analysis of the European border regime. Existing analyses of the border regime have tended to dismiss it as weak and intergovernmental. We show, to the contrary, that it is both strong and weak. The EU wields significant power in border control but lacks power altogether in immigration policy. This asymmetry has rendered the EU incapable of discharging the moral responsibilities that arise in migration control, posing a novel legitimacy challenge. Finally, we argue that the symmetry criterion generalizes and can shed light on the EU's legitimacy beyond the area of migration.

  I april 2020 nedsatte regjeringen Koronakommisjonen for å gjøre en grundig evaluering av myndighetenes håndtering av pandemien. Ett år etter forelå NOU 2021: 6 Myndighetenes håndtering av koronapandemien. Rammebetingelsene var så gode at rapporten kan betraktes som en kritisk case for god evalueringspraksis. Artikkelen legger et evalueringsfaglig perspektiv på rapporten og spør hvordan Koronakommisjonen begrunnet sine vurderende konklusjoner. Funnet er at kommisjonen mange steder er tause om hvilke kriterier de har lagt til grunn for sine konklusjoner. At det er vanskelig å ta informert stilling til om man deler eksperters vurderinger, er uheldig i en tid med økende mistro til kunnskap og faglig ekspertise. Mangelfull redegjørelse for konklusjoners grunnlag kan dessuten føre til at solide konklusjoner forkastes og at svakt funderte råd, vurderinger og konklusjoner tas til følge i senere beslutninger.

  The article explains how the unprecedented pandemic management decision to lock down the country came about, using the case of Norway and drawing on unique interview material from political and administrative executives. Urgency and precaution were the government’s primary considerations in March 2020, with proportionality and due process only peripheral decision premises. Voices of moderation were drowned out at critical moments to pave the way for a lockdown. Moreover, Norway’s lockdown decision lacked distinct and official agency, with none of the key actors able to say precisely when, where and by whom this decision of unprecedented size and scope had been taken. An interpretation using Graham Allison’s analytical models shows that the rational policy model most accurately captures the case. The suggested implication is that when senior political executives take active control of an ultra-high-stakes process, decisions are unlikely to be the product of political resultants or organisational output.

  How do politicians allocate public resources? Despite the extensive literature on distributive politics, we have limited micro-level evidence for why and under what circumstances politicians choose various allocation strategies. India’s discretionary constituency development scheme (MPLADS) provides an excellent opportunity to study the spending choices of individual politicians. Drawing on an original dataset linking voting patterns across 227,507 villages in the 2009 general elections to MPLADS allocations 2009–2014, we find that politicians generally channel more projects and resources to villages that vote for them in higher numbers. We then leverage a natural experiment created by the delimitation (redistricting) of electoral boundaries in 2008 to provide causal evidence that spending choices are driven by short-term electoral incentives. Finally, we show that allocation patterns differ by the type of party that has brought a politician to power. Our findings contribute to the growing literature on heterogeneity in politicians’ distributional choices.

  This paper explores whether mandatory, universal, in-person sexual misconduct training achieves its goals to build knowledge about sexual assault and harassment and increase intentions to report episodes of assault. We present results from three studies with quasi-experimental designs as well as interviews with students and staff at a diverse public university in the western United States. Our surprising finding is that participating in training makes women students less likely to say they will report experiences of sexual assault to university authorities. The training produces some small positive effects: students gain broader definitions of sexual misconduct, are less likely to endorse common rape myths, and women students express less sexist attitudes immediately after training. Our study raises questions about whether one-shot training helps to reduce sexual violence and increase reporting on college campuses and whether universities should invest in these types of training.

  Increasing the share of women in politics is often promoted as a means to reduce corruption. Recent studies indicate the importance of considering the gender gap in corruption as a dynamic, rather than static, phenomenon. Our study combines data from surveys and incentivized behavioral games among 400 inexperienced and experienced local politicians in West Bengal, India. We find no gender gap in attitudes toward corruption. However, in incentivized games, inexperienced female politicians are more honest than their male counterparts. No such gender gap exists among experienced politicians. Drawing on a theoretical discussion of four possible mechanisms, we find that the apparent increase in dishonest behavior among female politicians is associated with lower risk aversion and stronger political networks. Our findings indicate that women, like men, are socialized into their local political culture and that benefits from changing who is elected may be short-lived unless that culture is also changed.

  This article examines the resilience of fisheries management institutions to the combined challenges inherent in geopolitical and climatic change. Increased emphasis on geopolitical considerations tends to make governments more, not less, inclined to seek practical management arrangements acceptable to all; and as this article argues, solutions that can accommodate underlying geopolitical tensions tend to be particularly resilient. Mechanisms that may explain this relationship include interest aggregation, as when governmental decision-makers worry that a sector dispute may escalate and spill over into issue-areas that are closer to core national interests. A second mechanism is sector-gains protection, as when fisheries officials and scientists are determined to insulate mutually advantageous institutional arrangements against the ups and downs of general political relations. Combined with a third mechanism, associated with the “malignancy” of the management problem, including the extent of free-rider incentives among participants, these mechanisms are also relevant for explaining variation among Arctic fisheries regimes in their resilience to climate change—a second test of the ability of Arctic governance processes to adapt to more demanding circumstances.

  Existing literature associates a higher share of women in politics with lower corruption; honesty is viewed as an inherent or static character trait. However, using information collected from 400 elected gram panchayat members in West Bengal, this study finds that spending time in office changes this – inexperienced women politicians are less likely to be dishonest than men, but this ‘gender gap’ disappears among experienced politicians. The study attributes this to reduced risk aversion and stronger political networks with experience.

To do so, we build an original panel dataset of newspapers at the administrative district level between 2002 and 2017, covering $48,456$ newspaper-district observations. We exploit the 2008 Delimitation -- an exogenous change to the boundaries of electoral constituencies across the country -- to causally identify the relationship between the electoral importance of districts and the number and circulation of newspapers in those districts. Using a staggered difference-in-differences approach, we show that districts had similar media trends prior to the announcement of the new delimitation whether or not they became more electorally important as a result of the Delimitation, but that constituencies that became more electorally important experienced a significant rise in their total newspaper circulation per capita after the delimitation was implemented. We demonstrate that the observed changes seem to be driven by altered supply rather than demand, show heterogeneous patterns in the results, and discuss implications for voting behavior and democratic accountability.

  Energy Justice and Energy Democracy have recently emerged as significant political concerns as well as distinctive fields in energy-related social science. The presented an analysis of all Energy Justice- or Energy Democracy-relevant articles sourced from the Web of Science, altogether more than 500 unique documents. The paper showcases similarities and differences in geographical and issue coverage, and provides a thorough conceptual and bibliographical reflection of the development of the two concepts since their introduction. The main focus of the analysis are citation networks and "conceptualization networks", e.g. clusters of documents that approach the concepts in a similar manner.

  Local amalgamation decisions are often highly salient and contentious issues, which means that local opinion often is more decisive for the eventual decision than what is the case with many other issues on the local political agenda. Therefore, understanding what shapes citizen’s attitudes to local government mergers is key to understanding the outcomes of many merger reforms. In order to improve current understanding about popular opinion formation on jurisdictional mergers, the paper analyses data from a survey to citizens of 119 Norwegian local governments in the fall of 2019, just a few months before merger of their own unit with one or more neighboring units was implemented, as the result of a national local government reform decided more than two years in advance. The overarching research question is: To what extent can citizens’ attitudes to municipal mergers be explained by costs and benefits incurred by merging with a specific consortium of neighboring units? In line with previous studies, we find that citizens tend to prefer merging with similar local governments, and that they prefer to merge with wealthier neighbors rather than poorer. These results lend support to theories about jurisdictional heterogeneity and about redistributive effects of merger. But citizens seem to emphasize societal characteristics of their neighboring units than traits of the municipalities as politico-administrative system. Opinions seem also contingent on whether their existing municipality is set to become the a junior or the senior partner in the new, merged unit.

  I denne policybriefen argumenterer Paula Kivimaa og Kacper Szulecki for behovet for å koordinere energi- og sikkerhetspolitikk for å bedre møte de viktigste globale utfordringene: trusselen fra Russland, uventede sjokk knyttet til sabotasje og terrorisme, men også klimaendringer. Norge har ikke slike samordningsmekanismer. Dette er en potensiell svakhet i sammenheng med energiomstillingen og geopolitiske endringer. Formalisert politisk koordinering er ønskelig fordi det ikke bare gir effektivitet, men også åpenhet og demokratisk ansvarlighet.
