“…In Switzerland, the weakening of the national parliament has often been linked to the growth and professionalization of the federal administration related to the complexification of political problems (Di Capua et al, 2022; Sciarini & Fischer, 2019, p. 55). The federal administration is constituted of thousands of experts on specific topics.…”

Multi‐level Implementation of International Law: The Role of Vertical Epistemic Communities

Subnational entities in federal states typically retain a degree of sovereignty and enjoy leeway in implementation, raising questions such as whether—and how—international law is actually implemented at the subnational level. This article sheds light on these questions, using two contrasted case studies in Switzerland: The Istanbul Convention on domestic violence and the European Union (EU) Directive 2016/680 on data protection. Based on a document analysis of the law‐making process and 44 semi‐structured interviews with national and subnational political actors, we observe how international obligations are legally implemented, that is, transposed into legislation at the subnational level. Our results show that: (1) Subnational civil servants play a decisive role, while members of parliament are marginal. (2) Civil servants may constitute Vertical Epistemic Communities (VECs), which are able to “technicize” the issue to ensure swift implementation through administrative venues. (3) VECs are particularly influential as they use intercantonal conferences as institutional platforms to shape implementation processes. Otherwise, implementation becomes politicized, and its success strongly depends on subnational politics.

“…Schaffen ambitionierte Politikerinnen und Politiker den Sprung in die nationale Politik, sind sie ihrer Talentschmiede, d. h. ihrer lokalen Parteisektion, zu Dank in Form offener Ohren verpflichtet (u. a. Borchert und Stolz, 2011;Freiburghaus, 2020;Di Capua et al, 2022). So konzeptualisiert Mueller (2020) politische Parteien als einen der fünf eigenständigen «Kanäle regionalen Regierungseinflusses».…”

Not only do interest groups lobby, but regions do too: This book re-examines federalism through the lenses of interest groups and lobbying research. It focuses on ‘shared rule’, a foundational pillar in federal theory that necessitates the active involvement and representation of subnational units in federal policymaking. Based on new and original data, the study illuminates how the 26 Swiss cantons make their voices heard at the federal level. It explores traditional federal institutions, such as second chambers, alongside professionalised tactics of intergovernmental lobbying. Furthermore, the book empirically analyses the conditions under which the cantons succeed in shaping federal policy and politics according to their preferences.

Penyederhanaan birokrasi berupa alih jabatan struktural ke jabatan fungsional pada Kementerian PAN RB bertujuan menciptakan iklim birokrasi yang lincah, dinamis dan profesional dalam rangka meningkatkan efektivitas dan efisiensi kinerja pemerintahan dalam pelayanan publik. Dalam pelaksanaannya, ada beberapa penyesuaian yang harus dihadapi oleh ASN dan organisasi. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk memotret dampak dari implementasi perampingan birokrasi ini terhadap perkembangan karir ASN pasca pergantian jabatan. Subjek penelitian ini adalah ASN yang melaksanakan pengalihan jabatan administrator atau eselon III dan jabatan pengawas atau eselon IV menjadi jabatan fungsional. Metode penelitian menggunakan analisis deskriptif melalui tahap orientasi, tahap eksplorasi dan akhirnya tahap pemeriksaan anggota dengan sumber daya penelitian menggunakan orang, kertas dan tempat. Akibatnya, pelaksanaan alih jabatan struktural ke jabatan fungsional tidak berdampak langsung pada perkembangan karier ASN di organisasi Kementerian PAN RB selama setahun terakhir. Hal ini dikarenakan beberapa tantangan perubahan yang masih perlu disesuaikan oleh ASN dan organisasi Kementerian PAN RB. Meskipun secara konseptual pola pengembangan karir ASN umum telah dibuat, tetapi tidak semua pola pengembangan karir jabatan fungsional untuk jenis jabatan tersedia. Hal lain yang menjadi pertimbangan untuk pengembangan karier di jabatan fungsional adalah desain organisasi yang diharapkan gesit atau lincah yang akan mempengaruhi bagaimana perkembangan karier ASN di Kementerian PAN RB ke depan.
