ABSTRACT

This article examines regulatory policy transfer into a transitioning economy and explores the impact of corruption and weak state institutions on the resulting regulatory design and implementation. The study looks at an accreditation programme aimed at lifting the safety performance, compliance and business efficiency of truck operators in South Africa. In this case study a heavily state directed programme operating in Australia undergoes significant modification and redesign to achieve similar regulatory effect in the South African context. The case highlights how in transitioning settings the requirement to deal with local cultural and contextual issues such as corruption and weak state institutions, results in innovative regulatory design and delivery frameworks. While highlighting adaptation progressed through transfer, this study points to the important role industry can play independent of government in delivering the regulatory effect. The findings demonstrate the value transfer studies can bring to the analysis and understanding of policy and regulatory practice. This is a qualitative study drawing on interviews and participant observation with industry and government officials involved in the South African trucking industry.

转型经济中的监管转移:对腐败和薄弱国家机构的回应

摘要

本文考察了转型经济中的监管政策转移,并探讨了腐败和薄弱的国家机构对由此产生的监管设计和实施的影响。该研究着眼于一项旨在提高南非卡车运营商的安全绩效、合规性和业务效率的认证计划。在这个案例研究中,一个在澳大利亚运作的国家主导的项目经历了重大的修改和重新设计,以在南非的背景下实现类似的监管效果。该案例强调了在转型环境中处理腐败和国家机构薄弱等当地文化和背景问题的要求如何产生创新的监管设计和交付框架。在强调适应通过转移取得进展的同时,这项研究指出了行业在提供监管效果方面可以独立于政府发挥的重要作用。研究结果表明,价值转移研究可以带来对政策和监管实践的分析和理解。这是一项定性研究,基于对参与南非卡车运输业的行业和政府官员的访谈和参与观察。
