Inhalt
Coalition governments are the norm in parliamentary systems. In multi-party governments, policy-making requires compromise between parties despite their differences in ideologies, agendas and constituencies. A recent example is the current three-party coalition in Germany, which has clashed over several policy decisions, such as the autobahn speed limit or mandatory standards for energy-efficient heating systems. In this seminar, we will review theoretical, empirical and computational research in comparative politics that investigates policy-making in multi-party governments. Topics will include: theories of coalition formation and their assumptions about public policy-making, delegation between government parties and cabinet members, mechanisms to prevent ministerial drift, the influence of legislative institutions to scrutinize cabinet decisions, and voter perception of parties’ policy-making influence.
