This comprehensive volume studies the vices and virtues of
regionalisation in comparative perspective, including countries
such as Belgium, Germany, Spain, and the UK, and discusses
conditions that might facilitate or hamper responsiveness in
regional democracies. It follows the entire chain of democratic
responsiveness, starting from the translation of citizen
preferences into voting behaviour, up to patterns of
decision-making and policy implementation. Many European
democracies have experienced considerable decentralisation over the
past few decades. This book explores the key virtues which may
accompany this trend, such as regional-level political authorities
performing better in understanding and implementing citizens'
preferences. It also examines how, on the other hand,
decentralisation can come at a price, especially since the
resulting multi-level structures may create several new obstacles
to democratic representation, including information, responsibility
and accountability problems. This book was originally published as
a special issue of the journal West European Politics.

Unterscheidet sich die nordrhein-westfalische CDU eines Jurgen
Ruttgers programmatisch von der hessischen Union unter Fuhrung von
Roland Koch? Steht die SPD im Saarland weiter links von der Mitte
als die Sozialdemokraten im benachbarten Rheinland-Pfalz? Wenn ja,
warum ist das der Fall? Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die
bundeslandsspezifischen Eigenheiten des Parteienwettbewerbs anhand
einer Analyse aller zwischen 1990 und 2010 verfassten
Landtagswahlprogramme. Dies geschieht vor dem Hintergrund der
historischen Entwicklung der Parteiensysteme in den Landern
einerseits und auf Grundlage theoretischer Modelle andererseits.
Die Ergebnisse zeichnen ein differenziertes Bild des
Parteienwettbewerbs im deutschen Mehrebenensystem. Sie zeigen die
Unterschiede in den programmatischen Positionen der Parteien in den
verschiedenen Politikfeldern auf, die ihre Ursachen in der
Sozialstruktur der jeweiligen Wahlerschaft, aber auch in taktischen
Bestrebungen der Parteien bei Landtagswahlen haben. Die
Eigenstandigkeit des regionalen Parteienwettbewerbs im Vergleich
zum bundespolitischen zeigt sich schliesslich in der Bedeutung der
inhaltlichen Ausrichtungen der Landesparteien fur die
Regierungsbildung in den Bundeslandern.
