The last decades have witnessed a significant shift in policy
competencies away from central governments in Europe. The
reallocation of competencies spans over three dimensions: upwards,
sideways, and downwards. This collection takes the dispersion of
powers as a starting point and seeks to assess how the actors
involved cope with the new configurations. Chapters discuss the
conceptualization of power dispersion and highlight the ways in
which we add to this research agenda. Some general conclusions are
also outlined, indicating future avenues of research. Taken
together, the collection contributes answers to the challenge of
defining and measuring - in a comparative way - the control and
co-ordination mechanisms which power dispersion generates. In sum,
the collection explores the tension between political actors' quest
for autonomy and the acknowledgement of their interdependence
whilst revealing how, as power dispersion deepens, central
governments have sought to both manage and limit it. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the Journal of European
Public Policy.
