“…Furthermore, the degree to which the state has the upper hand may vary among the countries in question. While historically the geographical centre-periphery dimensions have been differently articulated within each of the Nordic countries (Hansen, 1972;Mønnesland 1995), the political systems have also been considered legitimate to cope with these dimensions. Attempts at far-reaching reforms strengthening the regional level within the political steering systems at the expense of the state or the municipalities have thus not been very successful.…”

This volume examines three interconnected themes in political science: the nuts and bolts of government, the complex and evolving relationship between politics and administration, and continuity and change in government. Government ministries and agencies are vital components of the executive branch of government that play fundamental roles in the democratic governing of modern societies. Contemporary public administration is conventionally portrayed as being based on a series of dichotomies: politics versus administration, coordination versus fragmentation, integration versus disintegration, trust versus distrust, etc. As an alternative, this volume, which is composed of a series of case studies from the Nordics and beyond, conceptualises and empirically demonstrates how government bodies at different levels of governance are driven by pragmatism characterised by the co-existence of multiple decision-making premises. To account for the composite aspect of government, this volume illustrates how institutional and organisational factors can structure elements in the policymaking process and how these elements are powerful tools available to purposeful design.
