Abstract

This is the first of two related panels on Inter-Ministry Politics. 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, responsiveness and knowledge use in policy-making. In this first panel we discus papers that contribute to our understanding of 1) the role of individual ministries in the policy process, 2) substantial preferences of different ministries and (potential) explanations, and 3) the conditions under which ministries can ‘win’ the inter-ministerial political game and influence policy output.
