Bilateral relations in the shadow of Brexit
Brexit has led to the bilateralisation of relations between the UK and its European neighbours. However, ten years on, our understanding of how exactly those bilateral relations have been reshaped since Brexit remains limited, particularly in the European context. This paper presents an analysis of how relations between the UK and one of its most important European partners, Germany, have evolved since the Brexit referendum. Our analysis points t…
The Dynamics of De‐Europeanisation in a Multilevel Context
In recent years, theoretical models which seek to capture the dynamics of European integration and Europeanisation have turned their attention to new processes of disintegration and de‐Europeanisation , presenting new understandings of where politics, policy‐makers and public opinion have moved to roll back integration. In this article, looking at the process of de‐Europeanisation in Scotland and Wales since 2016, we take forward this scholarship…
More cooperation than conflict despite no ‘Third Level’? Understanding the dynamics of paradiplomacy towards the EU in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg
This article advances new understandings of paradiplomacy in action, by reconsidering the mobilisation towards the EU of two German Länder, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, over a 30-year period (1992–2022). Refining its traditional usage as a catch-all concept, we deploy a novel typology of layers of paradiplomatic activity, in order to unpack the inherent dynamics of substate engagement with the EU and explore the implications of paradiplomacy on…
Between cooperation and conflict
Theoretical scholarship on the practice of paradiplomacy has not kept pace with empirical analysis. Many of the core concepts used to map paradiplomacy in scholarly literature remain generic and overly broad in scope. This Special Issue (SI) advances a fuller understanding of the dynamics, types and impacts of paradiplomacy towards the EU over the past 30 years by collating evidence of the practice of substate interactions from regions inside, ou…
Decentralising Policy Responsibility and Political Authority in Germany
Higher Education Policy
Sub-states in transition
This article sheds new light on the dynamics of Scottish and Welsh relations with the European Union (EU). We analyse the development of Scotland and Wales’s ‘paradiplomacy’ over a 30-year period (1992–2021), offering the first comprehensive analysis of the EU-focused activities of sub-states transitioning out of the EU. We identify the significance of the interplay between a territory’s formal constitutional position and differences in party pol…
Decentralising Policy Responsibility and Political Authority in Germany
Let's Stick Together? Explaining Boundaries to Territorial Policy Variation
This article offers an initial impact assessment regarding the introduction of new legislative responsibilities at the Land level in a case study of prisons policy (Strafvollzug). Combining an analysis of new legislation produced across the 16 Länder since the responsibility for prisons policy was transferred to the Land level, and insights into the mechanics of policy development obtained through a series of interviews with senior politicians an…

Introduction to the Special Issue
In recent years, Germany’s federal system has been subject to a number of pressures for change. A constitutional debate on ‘disentangling’ the legislative roles of federal and Länder institutions which stuttered through the 1990s and into the 2000s finally led to a re-allocation of competences in 2006. These reforms shifted some areas of legislative responsibility from the federal to the Länder level and relaxed rules which had earlier justified …
Regional policy variation in Germany
The German federal system is conventionally understood as highly co-ordinated between federal and regional governments and aimed at producing a ‘uniformity’ of living conditions. This view has increasingly been challenged as new work focuses on innovation and diversity at the regional level, and also as a consequence of reforms to the federal system that took place in 2006. This contribution attempts to establish a more systematic basis for asses…
Party Servants, Ideologues or Regional Representatives? The German Länder and the Reform of Federalism
This article considers recent attempts to reform German federalism, the failed 2004 reform, and the reforms agreed in 2006 and 2009. It compares partisan, ideological and territorial factors which contribute to an understanding of reform, finding that all three have a role in explaining actors' views of reform proposals. Two other claims are developed: that in some aspects of the reforms, a division between 'generalist' and 'subject specialist' p…
