Title: How Bureaucrats Respond to Citizen Demands on Citizen-Reporting Platforms in Cross-Regime Contexts

Expected Completion Date: 2026

PhD Supervisor: James Hollway, Christiana Parreira

Her dissertation examines the variation in bureaucrats’ responses on online citizen reporting platforms. It analyses a large N-data of complaints and public officials’ responses on Thailand’s Traffy Fondue, combined with a comparative case study of FixMyStreet Japan. The dissertation engages in the inquiry into the ever-evolving dynamics of state-citizen linkages and contributes to the understanding of incentives for state actions.
