dc.description.abstract | "In many political reforms around the globe we observe a common trend that
might be characterized as 'decentralization' or 'devolution'. Through
recasting constitutions, creating sub-national legislatures or simply through
devolving more and more administrative responsibilities to already existing
sub-national authorities those political reforms try to bring the government
home 'to the people'. The coming-home of the government is seen by many
as a way to improve responsiveness and heighten the democratic quality and
the (out-put oriented) legitimacy of the political system by trying to match
policy output more closely to citizen’s preferences. It is also seen as injecting
new lifeblood into the political process because multi-level systems offer
political actors potential new arenas in which to compete, as the enthusiastic
proponents suggest. Most European democracies employ a multi-level system of
governance. They provide several challenges and important opportunities for
electoral accountability and for our understanding of representative
democracy. Nevertheless multi-level systems of governance also raise serious
concerns about their democratic deficit. Not only citizens but also elected
MPs find it hard to attribute responsibility to certain actors correctly when
actual policy-making processes are obfuscated by the number of state and
non-state actors, lobbyists, specialists and the like who participate in it. This,
of course, has important consequences for the legitimacy of the policymaking
process." (excerpt) | en |
