Only for the big players? How small and medium-sized cities seek recognition and agency in the European Union
Cities are affected by the European Union (EU) in multiple ways, for example when using funding or implementing EU legislation. However, they need not be just passive recipients of rules or money: cities are increasingly recognised as an integral part of the EU as illustrated by the Lisbon Treaty’s new provisions on local government or programmatic developments like the Urban Agenda for the EU. But while research has focused on large cities in th…
Co-creating Europe-related activities. The role of German local governments in bottom-up mobilisation
In the process of Europeanisation, the local level takes an intermediary position between citizens and the European level. A special feature of local authorities’ European involvement is that many local Europe-related activities are developed and implemented not only for citizens, but to a considerable extent by them or in cooperation between civil society organisations and municipal actors. The paper presents fresh data from a research project f…
Framing Europe on the local level – policy networks in German cities and their activities for political cohesion in Europe
Political practice and academic discourse similarly assume that the local level has the potential to strengthen political cohesion in the European Union: it is the tier closest to citizens and implements a large share of European legislation. But what political cohesion actually is and how it can be achieved is less clear. The paper addresses this gap by analysing the local framing of political cohesion in Europe. Drawing on case studies in eight…

How to Deal with Executive Secrecy? Opposition Perspectives and Practices in the German Bundestag
Opposition parties in parliamentary democracies act as controllers of the executive. Consequently, executive secrecy should be a pressing issue as it deprives them of information for public scrutiny. This article investigates how parliamentary opposition parties and individual politicians discuss executive secrecy using the example of the German Bundestag. Given disagreement about secrecy’s legitimacy, especially in actual political practice, the…

The Ambiguity of Veto Power in Coalitions: German Liberals' Role as a Watchdog in Justice and Home Affairs and their Failure to Sell Stalemate as Success in the Federal Elections of 2013
The article demonstrates that the rigid use of veto capacity in coalitions causes risks for re-election. Justice was a high-salience domain of the German Liberal Democratic Party (FDP), which occupied this portfolio in its coalition with the Conservative majority in the federal legislative period from 2009 to 2013. By analysing several legislative projects the article shows that their contents or non-adoption were an effect of liberals' vetoes. T…
