Administrative Coordination and Policy Integration

Abstract

Policy integration and the coordination of administrative units are considered important to deal with pressing policy challenges, such as climate change and migration. During the last 20 years, researchers have focused on the integration of policy instruments and the coordination of public organizations from a problem-solving-oriented perspective. The panel invites contributions that explicitly analyze the politics behind policy integration and coordination reforms. Which are the political motivations behind cross-sectoral policy reforms? In what cases are such reforms driven by political (e.g., electoral) considerations, and are passed to achieve a symbolic impact? What are the relevant political variables that explain the politics of policy integration and administrative coordination reforms?
