%T Public Administration and the Study of Political Order: Towards a Framework for Analysis %A Trondal, Jarle %J Politics and Governance %N 4 %P 120-130 %V 8 %D 2020 %K Nordic cooperation; multilevel administration; multilevel governance; organizational approach; political order; public administration %@ 2183-2463 %U https://www.cogitatiopress.com/politicsandgovernance/article/view/3264 %X The contribution of this study is two-fold: First, it outlines a conceptual framework on political order; and secondly, it offers empirical illustrations on the case of Nordic cooperation. Taken together, the article makes a plea for public administration scholarship in the study of political order. Political order consists of a relatively stable arrangement of institutions that are fairly formalized and institutionalized. A common political order, moreover, entails that relevant institutions: (i) are fairly independent of pre-existing institutions; (ii) are relatively integrated and internally cohesive; and (iii) are reasonably able to influence governance processes within other institutions. The article empirically suggests that Nordic-level institutions are less likely to act relatively integrated and independently of member-state governments as well as being able to wield significant influence on public governance processes within member-state institutions. %C PRT %G en %9 Zeitschriftenartikel %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
