Abstract

Abstract: This is the second 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 second panel, we therefore discuss papers that contribute to our understanding of 1) the conditions under which ministries and ministerial agencies are created, restructured, and/or terminated and 2), the role and power of individual ministries in the policy process, especially in the process of public budgeting and budget control.
