Abstract

To advance the conceptualization, this chapter looks at different dynamics of multilevel governance and politics. The evolution of multilevel governance results from the integration and differentiation of states. Negotiations and joint decisions of involved governments on constitutions, treaties or other kinds of accords establish how authority is divided between levels. Thus, they set the institutional framework for coordinating policies across levels. Within this context, responsible actors select modes of coordination and, by varying modes, adapt multilevel governance to changing challenges. The flexibility of coordination modes reveals the dynamics of power structures in multilevel governance. While making governance adaptable, this dynamics bears the risk of authority migration, power imbalances and arbitrary domination of actors.
