Agenda-Control by Individual Ministers, and Effect on Legislative Policy Output

Abstract

The literature ascribes governments a strong control over the legislative agenda of parliament. Furthermore, the coalition governance literature points at centralizing decision-making in coalition agreements and central cabinet committees, reducing agency-loss upon ministerial appointment. Which agenda setting powers, if any, does this leave individual ministers with? Besides this main theme, the panel also welcomes other papers with particular focus on legislative agenda setting and change in policy output.
