Abstract

We know surprisingly little about the role of individual ministries in the policy process. Yet, since the staff composition, policy preferences and power resources of ministries vary, the involvement of and interactions between ministries in policy-making has implications for representation, responsiveness, knowledge use and the content of public policy. In this panel, we therefore welcome papers that contribute to our understanding of 1) the role of individual ministries in the policy process, 2) the substantive policy preferences of different ministries and how they are formed, and 3) inter-ministerial politics and the conditions under which ministries influence policy output.
