Abstract

While we do have a solid understanding of the role of parties, interest groups, and other political actors, we know surprisingly little about the role of individual ministries in the policy process. Yet, inter-ministry politics matter because the involvement of different ministries has different (re)distributive consequences and implications for representation and responsiveness. The papers in this panel contribute to our understanding of 1) the role of individual ministries in the policy process, 2) substantial preferences of different ministries, and 3) the conditions under which ministries can ‘win’ the inter-ministerial political game and influence policy output.
