Die Erarbeitung von Projektvorschlägen für den Bundesverkehrswegeplan 2030 auf der Ebene der Länder bietet die Gelegenheit, Entscheidungsprozesse und deren Resultate auf Ebene der Landesverkehrsministerien in dieser Hinsicht zu vergleichen. Ausgehend von einer Dokumentenanalyse und Experteninterviews mit Akteuren aus den Länderverkehrsministerien untersucht die Dissertation mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse und QCA, wie Entscheidungsprozesse in Bürokratien die resultierenden Entscheidungen im Bereich der Verkehrsinfrastrukturplanung prägen. Es zeigt sich, dass Ministerien zu komplexen Entscheidungsprozessen greifen, wenn das zu entscheidende Thema als salient empfunden wird und die verfügbare Kapazität es erlaubt. Für legitimitätssteigernde zusätzliche Prozessschritte - wie etwa die effektive Durchführung von Bürgerbeteiligungsverfahren - ist eine gut ausgestatte Bürokratie unerlässlich."],["dc.description.abstract","In order to achieve a transition from a transport system centred on the individual car to one centred on (electrified) rail a new focus in infrastructure planning is needed. The preparation of project proposals for the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 on the sub-national level in Germany provides an opportunity to study decision-making processes in ministries and compare their respective results in this respect. Using document analysis, expert interviews, qualitative content analysis as well as QCA, this thesis in political science analyses how decision-making processes within bureaucracies impact the decision output in transport infrastructure planning. It contributes to the discussion on bureaucracy-politics interactions that is relevant beyond the German case. One result is that ministries tend to use complex decision-making processes for topics deemed salient as long as the available capacity permits it. Consequently, in order to conduct legitimacy-enhancing steps – such as public participation – a well-funded bureaucracy is indispensable."],["dc.format.extent","298"],["dc.identifier.eisbn","978-3-86395-534-2"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?univerlag-isbn-978-3-86395-534-2"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/107870"],["dc.identifier.urn","urn:nbn:de:gbv:7-isbn-978-3-86395-534-2-2"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.publisher","Universitätsverlag Göttingen"],["dc.publisher.place","Göttingen"],["dc.rights.uri","http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.de"],["dc.title","On Track or Off The Rails?"],["dc.title.alternative","Intra-ministerial decision-making in transport infrastructure planning"],["dc.type","thesis"],["dc.type.subtype","dissertation"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Parliament has the budgetary right, but information asymmetries vis-à-vis the railway company Deutsche Bahn and the Ministry of Transport make parliamentary control difficult.\r\n \r\n \r\n Methods\r\n Recently, Germany has instituted a parliamentary review process that allows the Parliament to take up concerns by the public affected by rail projects. We use the principal-agent theory to model this new institution. Parliament delegates rail planning to the Deutsche Bahn, while the Federal Railway Authority serves as a budget watchdog, and parliament uses input from public participation as a deck-stacking procedure. The paper first situates the institutional innovations—the new parliamentary oversight procedure—against the former logic of railway planning. Second, based on the documentation of parliamentary oversight, we analyze for which demands by the affected public the Parliament uses its power to change rail projects.\r\n \r\n \r\n Results\r\n The paper showed that public participation matters. The German Parliament introduced expensive changes to rail projects. In particular, demands that had been voiced in well-institutionalized public participation (that is, when municipalities, regional associations, etc., were engaged in long-term institutionalized dialogues with the Deutsche Bahn) were more likely to be addressed. An Extra budget was then allocated to, for example, noise-regulating measures.\r\n \r\n \r\n Conclusions\r\n To sum up, the German Parliament uses information gained in public participation in combination with its budget rights to exert control over railway planning for conflictual projects. Thus, Parliament takes a more active role in railway planning. Whether this also leads to more acceptance for rail projects, is an open question."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2022"],["dc.identifier.citation","Energy, Sustainability and Society. 2022 May 05;12(1):18"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s13705-022-00346-4"],["dc.identifier.pii","346"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/108543"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/112721"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-572"],["dc.relation.eissn","2192-0567"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.holder","The Author(s)"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.subject","Rail"],["dc.subject","Planning"],["dc.subject","Parliament"],["dc.subject","Transport transition"],["dc.subject","Principal-agent"],["dc.title","Can parliament govern the transport transition?
