“…This is because parliaments are confronted in an exemplary manner with the potentially contradictory tasks of facilitating decision-making involving different parties and allowing the public to participate as much as possible in the process of reaching the (therefore necessary) compromises. The German Länder have a parliamentary system of government whose parliaments are considered “working parliaments” in which decision-making occurs primarily in negotiation systems among committees and working groups within and between factions (Mielke and Reutter 2012). Parliamentary negotiations between MPs of coalition factions focusing on policy details are an essential arena of inter-party conflict management in coalition governments (Vercesi 2016) and are substantial in legislative decision-making, as the negotiating coalition parties usually have the parliamentary majority necessary to transform negotiated compromises into legislative acts.…”

“…Parliamentary negotiations between MPs of coalition factions focusing on policy details are an essential arena of inter-party conflict management in coalition governments (Vercesi 2016) and are substantial in legislative decision-making, as the negotiating coalition parties usually have the parliamentary majority necessary to transform negotiated compromises into legislative acts. Though most intra-coalition negotiations are characterized by both cooperative and competitive patterns of interaction, detailed policy negotiations, where critical reflection of contradictory interests based on mutual trust is crucial, are usually not open to the media (Kropp 2001; Mielke and Reutter 2012).…”

Political actors in negotiations often face the challenge of contradictory logics of discreet compromise-building on the one hand and generating media publicity to enhance transparency and gain public support on the other. This paper examines how members of parliament (MPs) handle this dilemma within intra-coalition parliamentary negotiations that are essential for legislative decision-making. By referring to the mediatization approach, the concept of self-mediatization of political negotiation systems is introduced to theoretically capture politicians’ self-initiated media publications regarding negotiations and associated changes in their negotiation behavior. It is hypothesized that the self-mediatization of negotiations is influenced by negotiators’ general tendency to seek media attention as well as situational pressures and incentives. The hypotheses were tested with a factorial survey among German state-level MPs ( n = 258) using experimental vignettes. Results show that both individual and situational factors affect parliamentarians’ tendency to publicly communicate about negotiations and consequently negotiate in a more news-media-logic-compatible, that is, more conflictual, manner. However, since the surveyed MPs on average show a high willingness to agree with their coalition partner on the explicit secrecy of negotiations, independent of the influencing parameters examined, self-mediatization does not seem to be an existential threat to the intra-coalition compromise-building capacity of parliamentary negotiation systems.

“…Ferner werden die Handlungsoptionen deutscher Parteien von institutionellen Faktoren beeinflusst, etwa von der in der jeweiligen parlamentarischen Geschäftsordnung geregelten Organisation und Arbeitsweise der Landesparlamente (z. B. Anzahl und Wahl von Vizepräsidenten, Zusammensetzung der Ausschüsse) (Leunig 2007;Mielke und Reutter 2012;Heinze 2020, S. 131-134).…”

“…Poddając analizie nieformalne metody współdziałania Bundestagu i parlamentów krajowych, należy stwierdzić, że są to sprawdzone narzędzia i -co więcej -nie powodują dalszej erozji suwerenności krajów związkowych i samodzielności parlamentów krajowych. Z drugiej strony nie poprawią, i tak dość mocno osłabionej w ostatnim okresie, pozycji Landtagów 43 . Do jej wzmocnienia wydaje się konieczne bardziej efektywne egzekwowanie zasady subsydiarności czy ograniczenie tzw.…”

Th e Federal Republic of Germany is a federal state. Th e general division of competences between the Federation and the Länder, by establishing a presumption of competence in favour of the Länder, shall be enshrined in a Basic Law. Th e system of division of powers emphasizes the need for the Federation and the Länder to work together in individual matters. Hence, the model of federalism adopted in the Basic Law is referred to as cooperative federalism. Th e main focus here is on cooperation between the federal government and the federal states. Cooperation between the Federation and the Länder may take diff erent forms. Some of them are defi ned in the Basic Law. Th rough the Bundesrat, the Länder shall act in the legislation and administration of the Federation as well as in the aff airs of the European Union. Th ey shall participate in the election of federal organs: the Federal President shall be elected by the Federal Assembly. Interaction at parliamentary level is diff erent: Bundestag and national parliaments. Despite the lack of constitutional regulations, informal cooperation mechanisms have been developed at the level of contacts between the Bundestag and the Landtags. Th e Länder are ready to cooperate, but there is also a willingness to maintain their independence.
