Democratic governments produce more policies than they can effectively implement. Yet, this gap between the number of requiring implementation and administrative capacities available to do so is not same in all democracies but varies across countries sectors. We argue that variation depends on coupling sectoral bureaucracies charge policy formulation those implementation. consider these patterns vertical policy-process integration an important feature bureaucratic quality. The policymaking level involved (top-down integration) easier policy-implementing finds it feed its concerns into (bottom-up integration), smaller so-called “burden-capacity gap.” demonstrate effect through empirical analysis 21 OECD over a period 40 years areas social environmental policies.

Abstract Democratic governments have consistently introduced new policies to address various societal, economic, and environmental issues. However, this ongoing expansion of policy measures risks overburdening the public administrations responsible for their execution. To explore challenge, we examine how relationship between size sectoral portfolios available implementation capacities impacts effectiveness policies.
