Political Actors’ Behaviour in Sub-National Politics

Abstract

Our understanding of political elites’ behaviour, their decision-making strategies, and how they implement specific policies, is still mainly retrieved from theoretical and empirical insights from national and supranational politics. We still know comparatively little about political behaviour at the subnational, that is, the regional and the local, level. Therefore, the present panel seeks to enhance our understanding of sub-national political behaviour and invites both comparative and single-case papers focusing on legislative voting, policymaking, and the political preferences of political actors at the subnational level.
