The Dejudicialization of the German Federal Bureaucracy
Using data from a long‐term survey of senior civil servants (1970–2021), this study investigates the declining share of jurists in federal ministerial departments in Germany. The mechanisms driving this trend and its subsequent effects are discussed from an organizational perspective, highlighting the influence of environmental pressure and the increasing importance of science and expert knowledge in policy formulation. The study applies continge…
The Variance of German University Governance
The architecture of organizations as missed opportunity in political research
Few scholars in political science or public administration deny that organization matters. However, the rare application of an organizational perspective in research suggests otherwise. To revive the awareness of organizations as unit or level of analysis, attributed and generic properties are distinguished. Attributed properties, which dominate research, assign functions and patterns of behaviour to an organization. In contrast, generic properti…
Ministerialverwaltung und Interessengruppen – Neues und Vergessenes zu einem alten Thema
Die Bundesministerien nehmen bei der Initiierung und Formulierung politischer Vorhaben der Bundesregierung eine zentrale Rolle ein. Dies wirft immer wieder die Frage nach dem Einfluss organisierter Interessen auf. In der medialen Berichterstattung, aber auch in der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion wird die Antwort zumeist unter dem Stichwort „Lobbyismus“ gesucht. Die Ministerialverwaltung erscheint dabei überwiegend als passiver Adressat externer Ei…
Wag the Dog
Ever since German Rail, the largest state‐owned enterprise in Germany, was converted into a stock company in 1994, the federal government has been criticized for a lack of policy ambitions. From a principal–agent perspective, the federal government gives the impression of being a reluctant principal. The first objective is therefore to explain the strategic interaction between the federal government and German Rail since the 1990s. The second aim…
Der gut organisierte Staat
Der Politik- und Verwaltungsforscher Werner Jann, dessen 65. Geburtstag den Anlass für diese Festschrift gab, hat seine wissenschaftliche Arbeit immer wieder an der Frage orientiert, wie die Leistungsfähigkeit des Staates von organisatorischen Grundlagen abhängt. Welche institutionellen Strukturen und Verfahren, aber auch welche Qualifikationen des Personals und welche Art von Steuerungsinstrumenten sind heute notwendig, wenn ein »gut organisiert…

Agencies in Westeuropa
In diesem Band werden zum ersten Mal empirische Fallstudien über das Phänomen unabhängiger Behörden ("Agencies") versammelt. Die Entstehungshintergründe und Konsequenzen dieses neuen Elementes der Regierungsorganisation werden für verschiedene westeuropäische Länder nachgezeichnet. Die Beiträge sind im Kontext eines Forschungsprojekts zum Wandel der Regierungsorganisation in Europa entstanden.
Institutional Choice and Bureaucratic Autonomy in Germany
Although the delegation of government functions to non-majoritarian bodies such as independent agencies has accelerated throughout the OECD, Germany has followed a different path so far. In particular, administrative agencies have only rarely been granted autonomy from direct political control. The main argument is that a genetic code, inherent to the system of government institutions, has routinely auto-piloted choices that involved the design a…

Les politiques de régulation de l’assurance maladie en France et en Allemagne
Regulation of Health Insurance in France and Germany While the French and German Systems of social insurance have strong structural similarities (being para-state Systems), there are important differences in the ways of regulating the Systems. Thus, in France, State representatives occupy a predominant position in the policy of regulation of this sector of health care, a sector which is nevertheless very fragmented ; however in Germany a body of …
The State as Architect of Political Order
The focus of this article is on the state as an actor that can create, rearrange or even destroy established structures of interest representation. Through small, often almost overlooked, and sometimes even failed interventions, governmental policies create a legacy that can serve as a springboard for further political action. This policy dynamic is triggered by “architectural” activities of the state, aiming at the structure of the interest grou…
Comparing national patterns of medical specialization
This paper examines the causal factors behind the increase of medical specialization in Great Britain, Germany and the U.S. Current research into professions usually explains the phenomenon of growing specialization by referring to innovations in medical science and technology, competition among physicians, the differentiation of research institutions and medical schools, government intervention and organizational changes in the delivery of healt…
Institutionelle Bedingungen ordnungspolitischen Strategiewechsels im internationalen Vergleich
Seit dem Ende der 70er Jahre sind in verschiedenen westlichen Ländern Regierungen unter sozialdemokratischer Führung (oder mit starker sozialdemokratischer Beteiligung) durch solche mit „neokonservativer“ Programmatik abgelöst worden.1 Mit diesem Terminus bezeichnen wir hier Parteien, die mit der erklärten Absicht angetreten sind, das Verhältnis von Politik und Ökonomie, wie es sich in den westlichen „Wohlfahrtsstaaten“ insbesondere nach dem Zwei…
