“…These officials are indeed relatively more familiar with sharing authority across tiers of government (Hooghe & Marks ). Despite varying degrees of authority allocated to different levels in federal polities (Hooghe & Marks ; Hueglin ), bureaucrats from federal countries may therefore possess a less unitary conception of sovereignty (Beyers & Trondal ). Federal polities are also characterised by sophisticated and complex institutional mechanisms that help to accommodate, often ‘frozen’, territorial cleavages of societal conflict (Benz & Broschek : 5).…”

“…Multi-level governance also stems from the need to have different levels of government/governance to develop "coherent" as well as "effective" public policies when there are policy challenges that are not confined to specific territorial levels (Bache, Bartle & Flinders, 2014;Peters & Pierre, 2016). It is also argued that multi-level governance does not automatically focus on fundamental questions of federalism, such as horizontal equality or the balance of power (Hueglin, 2013;Peters & Pierre, 2004).…”

This paper aims at making a conceptual and theoretical contribution to understanding problem‐solving capacity in multi‐level contexts. To do so, I use the framework of structure, agency, process, and outcome to systematically discuss how the literatures of comparative federalism and multi‐level governance define and analyze problem‐solving. In discussing these literatures, I also examine how concepts such as integration, functional differentiation, self‐rule, and shared‐rule have important implications for problem‐solving. Policy challenges, such as climate change, require problem‐solving at various territorial levels. To demonstrate the insight from the two literatures and to offer comprehensive theoretical implications for effective problem‐solving capacity, this paper also provides illustrative examples of climate change action and environmental policy in Germany and the EU.

“…In fact, it has been argued that federal constitutions are no more than "incomplete" contracts providing "basic rules" for an ongoing process of "intergovernmental contracting" (Rodden 2006: 37-8), and that there is a trend from constitutional federalism to more procedural forms of "treaty" federalism (Hueglin 2013).…”
