New from me in @govjournal.bsky.social: how can managerial bureaucrats increase effort levels of thousands of frontline workers for difficult-to-monitor tasks? I argue that this requires “governance by persuasion“ to overcome collective action problems - orders are not enough.

Do managerial bureaucrats impact the quality of service provision for difficult-to-monitor tasks? In my JMP, I argue that they do but that the type of bureaucrats having an impact is not what gets most attention in the literature (and from politicians / media). Preprint: doi.org/10.31235/osf... 🧵

Now on the job market. I research on bureaucracies, service delivery, and the political economy in low- and middle-income countries with a particular focus on state capabilities and management practices within the public sector. Special focus on 🇮🇳. martinhaus.info

This is a really excellent paper from Italy that shows that austerity fuels far right support. Part of the nostalgia for the past that the populists drew on is a nostalgia for a visible and effective public service. 1/
