This divide becomes crucial in the analysis of policy advice. On the one hand, advisory systems are affected by features of politico-administrative systems because bureaucrats represent important sources of advice to ministers. On theother hand, advisory systems also vary across policy domains. The paper aims to reconcile the two approaches by analyzing the constitution of policy advisory systems as affected by both institutional and policy factors. The article argues that the composition and role of advisory systems and their components basically depend upon how the problem structure of a given policy domain prompts the involved actors to use the institutional context to impose their specific problem perception, and hence to determine the relevant knowledge in policy advice.

Whereas German climate policy has traditionally been focusing on mitigation policy, adaptation policy assumes a latecomer position on the agenda of the federal government.

Such a context makes international co-ordination particularly difficult, as evidenced during the Climate Change Conference COP-15 in December 2009 in Copenhagen (Pralle 2009).}, language = {en} } @incollection{Hustedt, author = {Hustedt, Thurid}, title = {Agenturen}, series = {Verwaltungsstrukturen in der Europ{\"a}ischen Union}, booktitle = {Verwaltungsstrukturen in der Europ{\"a}ischen Union}, editor = {Hustedt, Thurid and Wonka, Arndt and Blauberger, Michael and T{\"o}ller, Annette Elisabeth and Reiter, Renate}, publisher = {Springer VS}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {Print: 978-3-658-04690-3 / Online: 978-3-658-04691-0}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-658-04691-0}, publisher = {Hertie School}, pages = {143 -- 207}, language = {de} } @incollection{Hustedt, author = {Hustedt, Thurid}, title = {Kontakt durch Kontrakt?

Considering both formal and informal institutions, this chapter analyses the current state of the core executive in Germany at the end of the 'era Merkel'. It outlines the German institutional setting with the role of the chancellor and the chancellery, defines main characteristics of politico-administrative relations and mechanisms of government coordination and discusses changes in the distribution of power related to recent developments of crisis management, Europeanisation and summitry, and personalisation and mediatisation. The analysis shows that the steering capacity of the German core executive is institutionally limited due to the strong coordination requirements stemming from administrative federalism, coalition governments and the strong departmental principle. Accordingly, the German core executive is no strong centre of power despite the international developments that have contributed to centralisation in many countries. The German core executive remains remarkably stable in formal terms and in international comparison despite some short-term power shifts in reaction to a changing environment.}, language = {en} } @incollection{BrindeHustedtHoulbergSalomonsen, author = {Brinde, Erik and Hustedt, Thurid and Houlberg Salomonsen, Heidi}, title = {The Swedish Executive: Centralising from Afar}, series = {Core Executives in a Comparative Perspective.

However, recent decades of internationalising politics, EU membership and growing public-sector complexities have placed greater demands on the Swedish executive. In recent years, the established governance system has changed in several respects. First, the previously highly decentralised system has become more centralised and central-local relations remain tense. Second, at the central level, the government has sought to increase control through politicisation. Third, Swedish pandemic policy highlighted the promises and pitfalls of 'Swedish dualism'. And fourth, government communication has become ever more mediatised. In consequence, the chapter concludes that what from the outside looks like an exemplar of meritocratic democracy is rather a tactically flexible realpolitik built on interpretive ambiguities in the constitution—providing the Swedish executive with much-needed responsiveness in times of significant change, but also the veil for greater centralisation and control from afar.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Hustedt, author = {Hustedt, Thurid}, title = {Chapter 15: The Continental tradition of ministerial advice: no institutional home for ministerial advisers?}, series = {Handbook on Ministerial and Political Advisers}, booktitle = {Handbook on Ministerial and Political Advisers}, editor = {Shaw, Richard}, publisher = {Edward Elgar Publishing}, address = {Cheltenham, UK}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.4337/9781800886582.00025}, publisher = {Hertie School}, pages = {221 -- 231}, abstract = {The chapter examines ministerial advisory structures in Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands and discusses if and how their emergence and roles are linked to the Continental administrative tradition - one which emphasises the rule of law, and a procedural orientation within and political responsiveness of the standing bureaucracy.

We conceive of the executive triangle as a set of interdependent relationships between ministers, civil servants, and advisers. Those relationships may take different forms, depending on the distinct tasks performed by each actor and their roles in policy-making, which define mutual expectations. Thus understood, the executive triangle is an institution performing particular functions in policy-making (such as assessing policy alternatives, anticipating political support, and coordinating with other actors both inside and outside government). Those functions are performed by actors within the triangle and reflected in their roles and their direct and indirect relationships. The chapter conceptually explores such a system-perspective on the executive triangle; sketches analytical dimensions for understanding similarities and differences of executive triangles across contexts; provides empirical illustrations of variations of the executive triangle in Europe; and develops a research agenda using this concept to better understand the roles of ministers, ministerial advisers, and top civil servants in executive policy-making in a comparative perspective.}, language = {en} } @article{SalomonsenFlindersHustedt, author = {Salomonsen, Heidi Houlberg and Flinders, Matthew and Hustedt, Thurid}, title = {A comparative analysis of senior civil servants' involvement in media management}, series = {Policy \& Politics}, volume = {53}, journal = {Policy \& Politics}, number = {1}, publisher = {Bristol University Press}, issn = {0305-5736}, doi = {10.1332/03055736y2024d000000037}, pages = {109 -- 128}, abstract = {This article offers results of a comparative case study into how pressures from the media translate into the involvement of senior civil servants (SCSs) in media management and how this is reflected in differentiated ways in politico-administrative relationships. It offers tentative explanations for these differences through the lens of 'public service bargains'. Based upon a qualitative analysis of documents and 62 interviews with SCSs and advisers in Denmark, Sweden and the UK, the research found that: (i) media management, in some countries, generates an extension and an amplification of the normative expectations towards SCSs' involvement in media management; (ii) this is accompanied by a revitalisation of the reflections from SCSs to balance their responsiveness to the minister with anonymity and neutrality when involved in media management; (iii) an extensive formal politicisation seems to curb pressures on SCSs' anonymity and neutrality and their involvement in media management. These findings improve our knowledge of SCSs' involvement in media management by raising crucial questions about the political neutrality of administrators, tendencies towards politicised governance and (more) interventionist political staffers - amid intensified pressures from the media on governments.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Hustedt, author = {Hustedt, Thurid}, title = {Die Verwaltungssysteme}, series = {Nordeuropa: Handbuch f{\"u}r Wissenschaft und Studium}, booktitle = {Nordeuropa: Handbuch f{\"u}r Wissenschaft und Studium}, editor = {Henningsen, Bernd}, publisher = {Nomos}, address = {Baden-Baden}, isbn = {978-3-8487-8699-2}, doi = {10.5771/9783748930914-253}, publisher = {Hertie School}, pages = {253 -- 261}, language = {de} } @incollection{HustedtRadtke, author = {Hustedt, Thurid and Radtke, Ina}, title = {Coordination and Policy Implementation}, series = {Handbook of Public Policy Implementation}, booktitle = {Handbook of Public Policy Implementation}, editor = {Sager, Fritz and Mavrot, C{\´e}line and Keiser, Lael}, publisher = {Edward Elgar}, isbn = {9781800885899}, publisher = {Hertie School}, pages = {429 -- 436}, language = {en} } @incollection{Hustedt, author = {Hustedt, Thurid}, title = {Variations of policy advisory systems: taking stock}, series = {Handbook of Policy Advice}, booktitle = {Handbook of Policy Advice}, editor = {Howlett, Michael and Mukherjee, Ishani}, publisher = {Edward Elgar Publishing Limited}, address = {Cheltenham, UK \& Northampton, USA}, isbn = {9781035318070}, doi = {10.4337/9781035318087}, publisher = {Hertie School}, pages = {600 -- 608}, language = {en} } @incollection{VeitHustedtBach, author = {Veit, Sylvia and Hustedt, Thurid and Bach, Tobias}, title = {Dynamics Of Change In Internal Policy Advisory Systems: The hybridization of advisory capacities in Germany}, series = {The Routledge Handbook Of Policy Advisory Systems}, booktitle = {The Routledge Handbook Of Policy Advisory Systems}, editor = {Capano, Giliberto and Craft, Jonathan and Howlett, Michael}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {Abingdon and New York}, isbn = {978-1-032-73745-4}, doi = {10.4324/9781003465720}, publisher = {Hertie School}, pages = {458 -- 475}, language = {en} } @incollection{Hustedt, author = {Hustedt, Thurid}, title = {Moving Beyond Westminster: Expansion and Comparison in the Study of National Policy Advisory Systems}, series = {The Routledge Handbook Of Policy Advisory Systems}, booktitle = {The Routledge Handbook Of Policy Advisory Systems}, editor = {Capano, Giliberto and Craft, Jonathan and Howlett, Michael}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {Abingdon and New York}, isbn = {9781032737454}, publisher = {Hertie School}, pages = {123 -- 134}, language = {en} }
