Abstract

ABSTRACT Since the 1990s, sub-federal units have become increasingly active in trade politics, a domain that is usually an exclusive jurisdiction of the federal level. Conceptualizing this process of institutional change as federalization, this paper adopts a most similar case design to examine how four factors interact to generate different patterns of trade policy engagement in Switzerland, Austria and Germany. The study suggests that institutional resources and preference intensity are crucial to explain long-term variation in all three federations, while the role of party politics and social mobilization are contextual rather than causal factors.

瑞士、德国和奥地利贸易政治的联邦化

摘要自20世纪90年代以来，次联邦单位在贸易政治中越来越活跃，贸易政治通常是联邦层面的专属管辖权。本文将这一制度变革过程概念化为联邦化，采用最相似的案例设计来考察四个因素如何相互作用，从而在瑞士、奥地利和德国产生不同的贸易政策参与模式。研究表明，制度资源和偏好强度对于解释这三个联合会的长期变化至关重要，而政党政治和社会动员的作用是背景因素，而不是因果因素。

期刊介绍： The upsurge of academic and political interest in regional and federal questions since the 1980s has been stimulated by the salience of regions in EU policy-making and the Structural Funds but also by regionalization and federalization processes in many Western states. The most striking example is the devolution occurring in the UK, but the process is at work all over Europe and in other parts of the world. These developments have led to many important research programmes and projects. Regional and Federal Studies is a refereed social science journal which provides an academic forum for the publication of international research on these issues. It is essential reading for both academics and practitioners in politics, administration and the business world.
