Citizens hear about democratic backsliding on the news, but they meet it in interactions with street-level bureaucrats. A Governance Journal SI, co-edited with @NadineRaaphorst and Gabriela Lotta, explores how populism and democratic erosion shape the work of the frontline public sector🧵

Stauffer, Sager, and Johanna Kuenzler investigate resilience in public agencies during democratic backsliding. They find that organizational structure, collaboration, and professional standards enhance resilience by mitigating "blame‐avoiding policy implementation".
