Policy Analysis at the Sub-National Level

Abstract

The study of policy analysis has advanced strikingly in recent years. We would like to bring these recent developments to multilevel states, which includes both analyses at the sub-national level and between governance levels. In the federal context, policymakers operate in a tensional environment between (often) harmonising policies within the federation and using the room for manoeuvre for their own policy solutions, including policy innovations. Thus, we welcome a wide range of Papers analysing public policies in different fields below the national level. Papers should focus on political processes and policy-decisions, including actors from politicians and institutions to interest groups or the media.
