At a time of global climate crisis, this crucial book examines the prospects for implementing low-carbon policies in the two global superpowers of China and Russia, focusing on the role of informal institutions in achieving reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Chapters shed light on how informal institutions function and work in practice, how and why they take shape and how they influence formal low-carbon policies. Forensically examining five critical cases relating to Chinese and Russian institutions, this book demonstrates how informal institutions can both support and obstruct the achievement of formal policy goals. Through comparisons within and between each country, it shows how these dynamics differ and offers key hypothesis on the role of these institutions in policy implementation. Comprehensive and incisive, this book will be important reading for scholars researching public policy in China and Russia, particularly those specialising in environmental science and politics. The practical insights derived from new case studies will also be useful for policymakers working on climate mitigation policy.

ÔThis volume provides a welcome overview of the diverse ways in which informal practices and norms shape policy in national states, the European Union, and international relations. The wide range of cases that feature in the volume point to the normative and substantive importance of informality. This volume is a valuable contribution to a fascinating and under-researched topic.Õ Ð Gary Marks, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, US and VU Amsterdam, The Netherlands Acknowledging that governance relies not only on formal rules and institutions but to a significant degree also on informal practices and arrangements, this unique Handbook examines and analyses a wide variety of theoretical, conceptual and normative perspectives on informal governance. The insights arising from this focus on informal governance are discussed from various disciplinary perspectives, within different policy domains, and in a number of regional and global contexts. This Handbook is an important contribution that will put informal governance firmly on the map of academic scholarship with its review of the range of the different uses and effects of informal arrangements across the globe. Bringing together multidisciplinary contributions on informal governance arrangements, this Handbook will appeal to postgraduate students in political science and scholars within the field of political science and global governance.

The GCC is a major player in the post-2011 reordering of the Middle East. Despite the rise in prominence of individual Gulf states - especially Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates - and the growth of the GCC as a collective entity, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the actual mechanics of policy-making in the region. This book analyses the vital role that institutions are coming to play in shaping policy in the Gulf Arab states. The research coincides with two key developments that have given institutions new importance in the policy process: the emergence of a new generation of leaders in the Gulf, and the era of low oil prices. Both developments, along with dramatic demographic change, have compelled state and citizens to re-evaluate the nature of the social contract that binds them together. Contributors assess the changing relationship between state and citizen and evaluate the role that formal and informal institutions play in mediating such change and informing policy.The book shows how academic, social and economic institutions are responding to the increasingly complex process of decision-making, where citizens demand better services and further empowerment, and states are obliged to seek wider counsel, although wanting to retain ultimate authority. With contributions from both academics and practitioners, this book will be highly relevant for researchers and policymakers alike.

The European Union is the world’s most advanced international organization, presiding over a level of legal and economic integration unmatched in global politics. To explain this achievement, many observers point to its formal rules that entail strong obligations and delegate substantial power to supranational actors such as the European Commission. This legalistic view, Mareike Kleine contends, is misleading. More often than not, governments and bureaucrats informally depart from the formal rules and thereby contradict their very purpose. Behind the EU’s front of formal rules lies a thick network of informal governance practices. If not the EU’s rules, what accounts for the high level of economic integration among its members? How does the EU really work? In answering these questions, Kleine proposes a new way of thinking about international organizations. Informal governance affords governments the flexibility to resolve conflicts that adherence to EU rules may generate at the domestic level. By dispersing the costs that integration may impose on individual groups, it allows governments to keep domestic interests aligned in favor of European integration. The combination of formal rules and informal governance therefore sustains a level of cooperation that neither regime alone permits, and it reduces the EU’s democratic deficit by including those interests into deliberations that are most immediately affected by its decisions. In illustrating informal norms and testing how they work, Kleine provides the first systematic analysis, based on new material from national and European archives and other primary data, of the parallel development of the formal rules and informal norms that have governed the EU from the 1958 Treaty of Rome until today.

In late 2002, the New York state legislature granted Mayor Michael Bloomberg sole governing authority of the city's schools based on his promise to overhaul the system. It did not take long for him to fulfill that promise. Together with his top appointee, Chancellor Joel Klein, Bloomberg dramatically reorganized the New York City School System along performance management principles. In place of a traditional centralized school district, Bloomberg and Klein created a “Portfolio School District”, characterized by school-level discretion and high-stakes accountability. While virtually unprecedented in education, Bloomberg and Klein's reforms mirror those found in other sectors of government, from human services and public corrections to national defense. These reforms seek to improve organizational performance by reducing goal ambiguity, aligning workers' incentives, and providing information to foster organizational learning. While straightforward in theory, they have proved harder to implement in practice, especially in policy domains with a tradition of front-line discretion and/or difficult-to-measure practice. In some cases, implementation is symbolic: organizations collect and report data as required but do not substantively change their decision-making. In others, implementation is superficial or counterproductive - implementers focus on measured indicators without regard for overall performance. And in virtually all contexts, performance management regimes have been uneven: some sites respond actively, some partially, and some, perhaps, not at all. The problem of performance management reform is itself the problem of cultural change. The norms and values that underlie a performance management system are different from those of a hierarchical bureaucracy. Thus, without shifts in organizational culture, performance management reforms are unlikely to have their desired effect. Cultural change in turn requires changes in espoused values - the stated beliefs and norms of an organization - and changes in values-in-use - the often-tacit norms and values that are revealed through organizations' patterns of behavior. Understanding the conditions under which these changes occur is critical to understanding both performance management reform and administrative reform more generally. Using mixed methods, I examine New York City's performance management reform as a process of cultural change. I use survey data and a comparative case study of schools to answer two questions: Under what conditions does the introduction of a formal performance management regime lead to the espousal of a performance management culture and the development of performance management values-in-use? What is the specific role of organizational climate and survival anxiety (perceptions of risks to organizational integrity or success) in fostering changes in culture? Following prior research and theory, I argue that front-line behavior is a product not just of deep-rooted norms and beliefs or of formal incentive systems but instead the result of interactions between these two forces. By examining this interaction - and its relationship to strategic management practice - my work contributes to our understanding of administrative reform and organizational culture.

In Integrating Europe: Informal Politics and Institutional Change the author explains why the European Union (EU) member states actively surrender policy-making power to supranational authorities in unconventional ways. In light of the general antipathy toward giving up national sovereignty in European societies—even where "pro-European" sentiment thrives, why do national governments allow the creation of any new EU laws or policies whose effects they cannot keep under their general control? Why do EU member states allow any sovereignty transfer to occur outside of inter-governmental treaties, which are the only legitimate EU bargains found in the EU's formal sphere? Deploying the tools of rational choice institutionalist theory, the author argues that informal bargains struck between the EU's primary organizational actors - the European Council, European Commission, and European Parliament - have paradoxically resulted in increased integration. As the EU is an ideal laboratory for testing different institutionalist hypotheses for explaining institutional change, the author focuses on the ongoing competition to alter the EU rules that allocate power, and, with an approach that allows for feedback loops among agents and structures, makes an argument that flies in the face of realist and intergovernmentalist theories. While some have shed light on the importance of informal dynamics in the legal sphere of the EU, this book does the same for the policy-making sphere.
