It has become one of the most claimed characteristics of the regulatory state. But what does it really mean to be an independent agency? This article explores this question with stakeholders of five privacy (and information) commissions to map the understanding of those actually involved in the everyday processes of regulation. It is argued that the beliefs and expectations of stakeholders shape not only relationships but ultimately the legitimacy of regulatory practices. Six separate themes of understanding are identified. The themes represent areas of particular concern for each stakeholder group. Together they suggest a shared understanding of independence that encompasses both behavioural qualities as well as structural arrangements. A framework is proposed that provides a means for incorporating the different accounts of independence and recognizing the active role of agencies in determining independence. - Reproduced.  aCivil service  aVerhoest, Koen  aInternational Review of Administrative Sciences  aN  a104499  c104495d104495  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 80, Issue no: 2pAR104959r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
