Abstract

Abstract Modern welfare states struggle with fragmented policies and siloed governments, as well as with the need to deal with wicked problems. We argue that addressing such problems from the perspective of central government can be facilitated by notions of joined‐up government that, combined with vertical aspects of modern governance, provide a basis for analysis. To embark upon such challenges, we examine policy integration and policy coordination within the complex area of Swedish migration policies in light of the European migrant crisis. Through a content analysis of an extensive qualitative material (interviews and documents), we show that policy integration is weakly associated with joint objectives and decision‐making. As a contribution to prior knowledge in the field, we emphasize the unintuitive finding that counteracting siloism and fragmentation in Swedish migration policy is not achieved through coherent governance ranging across tiers, functions, and sectors but mainly at subnational levels through policy coordination relying on a bottom‐up approach.
通过联合政府进行政策整合和政策协调的治理:次国家层面如何抵消瑞典移民政策中的孤岛主义和碎片化
现代福利国家与支离破碎的政策和孤立的政府作斗争,同时也需要处理棘手的问题。我们认为,联合政府的概念与现代治理的纵向方面相结合,可以促进从中央政府的角度解决这些问题,为分析提供基础。为了迎接这些挑战,我们在欧洲移民危机的背景下,研究了瑞典移民政策复杂领域内的政策整合和政策协调。通过对大量定性材料(访谈和文件)的内容分析,我们表明政策整合与共同目标和决策的关联很弱。作为对该领域先验知识的贡献,我们强调了一个非直觉的发现,即瑞典移民政策中的孤岛主义和碎片化并不是通过跨层级、职能和部门的连贯治理来实现的,而是主要通过依赖于自下而上方法的政策协调在次国家层面实现的。

期刊介绍: Regulation & Governance serves as the leading platform for the study of regulation and governance by political scientists, lawyers, sociologists, historians, criminologists, psychologists, anthropologists, economists and others. Research on regulation and governance, once fragmented across various disciplines and subject areas, has emerged at the cutting edge of paradigmatic change in the social sciences. Through the peer-reviewed journal Regulation & Governance, we seek to advance discussions between various disciplines about regulation and governance, promote the development of new theoretical and empirical understanding, and serve the growing needs of practitioners for a useful academic reference.
