Across Doctrines & Nations
A five-year ERC-funded research programme investigating how democratic governments generate voluntary compliance—from coercive sanctions to cooperative moral reasoning—across legal doctrines, cultures, and nations.
How regulatory tools — from sanctions to nudges to legitimacy appeals — affect voluntary compliance along the coercion-cooperation spectrum.
Comparing voluntary compliance patterns across nations, cultures, and legal systems to understand cooperative behavior in different contexts.
The conditions under which governments can trust their public's cooperation, ethicality, and compliance from behavioral and regulatory perspectives.
The role of moral reasoning, fairness perceptions, and norm internalization in generating sustainable voluntary compliance.
Our model empirically explores and compares the impact of regulatory tools on voluntary compliance—from extrinsic, coercive measures like sanctions and incentives to intrinsic, cooperative approaches like legitimacy and moral reasoning.
The scale spans from Sanctions and Incentives through Nudges and Social Norms to Pledges, Legitimacy, and Reason—mapping the full spectrum of government-citizen trust.
