Recently, research on EU institutions devotes increasing attention to analyzing structures and procedures of decision-making in EU institutions, most notably the EU Commission. Conventionally, the EU Commission is portrayed as a fragmented organization, divided along the lines of staff nationality, sectoral responsibilities and cabinets and General Directorates (DGs). The Secretariat General has long been viewed a weak actor that is hardly able or motivated to steer internal decision-making. However, recent research indicates a changing role of the Secretariat General as a pro-active broker and last arbiter. This article studies how the Secretariat General is perceived by the DGs in policy coordination and argues that this perception depends on the pattern of political authority, bureaucratic roles and the relevance and the alternatives prevailing in the policy field. The article is based on data from a survey among Commission officials.

First it gives an account of the existing coordination patterns, second it analyses changes within these coordination patterns over time and finally it asks, whether these changes can be attributed to an intentional institutional design. To answer this set of questions, we introduce an institutional policy analytic perspective to the study of central government change. This perspective focuses on central actors, interests, strategic motivations and the degree of the actors reflexivity as a promoter of intentional institutional change in government coordination. The empirical analysis shows the prevalence of negative coordination as the dominant pattern of coordination in all three countries. However, country-specific constitutional and political traditions result in a variety of different coordination techniques actually used. The paper concludes by identifying three different patterns of change, depending on the degree of change and the reflexivity involved : "fragmented institutional politics" in Denmark, "policy-driven institutional politics" in Germany and "adaptive and symbolic institutional politics" in the case of Sweden.

Während sich das politikwissenschaftliche Interesse meist auf den allgemeinen Wandel der "Staatlichkeit" oder die konkreten Veränderungen von Politikinhalten konzentriert, wird hier in vergleichender Perspektive nach dem Wandel von politischen Strukturen und Prozessen der Regierungsorganisation, insbesondere der Ministerialverwaltung, gefragt. Ausgangshypothese ist, dass die westeuropäischen Regierungssysteme auf die externen Herausforderungen mit Änderungen ihrer "Produktionsstruktur" von Gesetzen und Programmen reagiert haben. Daraus ergeben sich folgende Kernfragen: Welche Veränderungen der Regierungsorganisationen sind zu identifizieren? Handelt es sich dabei um Ergebnisse einer reflexiven Institutionenpolitik? Ändert sich die strategische Handlungsfähigkeit der Regierungsorganisation? Ersten empirischen Beobachtungen folgend lässt sich ein Wandel auf drei Dimensionen vermuten: dem wachsenden horizontalen regierungsinternen Koordinationsbedarf, der vertikalen Reorganisation und Funktionsveränderung zentralstaatlicher Exekutiven sowie Veränderungen der Beziehungen mit externen Akteuren bspw. organisierten Interessen, Politikberatern und Konsensbildungskommissionen. Neben der Bundesrepublik, Großbritannien und Frankreich sollen die beiden skandinavischen Länder Dänemark und Schweden in die Untersuchung einbezogen werden.

CY - London ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Hustedt, Thurid A1 - Seyfried, Markus T1 - Co-ordination across internal organizational boundaries: how the EU Commission co-ordinates climate policies JF - Journal of European public policy N2 - Through an analysis of climate policy-making in the European Commission (EU), this article argues that co-ordination in the Commission displays the same characteristics as the co-ordination across ministries in central governments, i.e., the properties of negative co-ordination. The article is based on a survey among Commission officials. Overall, the article reveals that a public administration perspective on the Commission proves invaluable to gain insights on how decisions are made at the European Union level. The article contributes to the emerging literature viewing the Commission as an ordinary bureaucracy - as opposed to a unique supranational organization.

While in one of the groups a policy logic prevailed and a joint coordination output was achieved, the other was dominated by a political logic and proved unable to achieve agreement. The article contributes to research on government coordination by showing that actor orientations are crucial for explaining inter-organizational coordination. The results direct attention to the behavioural implications of coordination structures.

This article contributes to this literature by systematically identifying different conceptualizations of politicization and suggests a typology including three politicization mechanisms to strengthen the political responsiveness of the ministerial bureaucracy: formal, functional and administrative politicization. The typology is empirically validated through a comparative case analysis of politicization mechanisms in Germany, Belgium, the UK and Denmark. The empirical analysis further refines the general idea of Western democracies becoming ‘simply’ more politicized, by illustrating how some politicization mechanisms do not continue to increase, but stabilize – at least for the time being.
