Wiesbaden: Westdeutscher Verlag, 2000, 228–248 Adjusting National Tax Policy to Economic Internationalization Steffen Ganghof Increasing economic internationalization puts pressure on national tax systems. Yet political scientists know relatively little about the political economy of domestic tax policy adjustment. Existing studies have focused either on tax policy coordination at the international level or on aggregate changes in national tax systems, i.e. changes in the overall tax burden or the relative shares of capital and labor taxes. This doctoral project takes a closer look at policy adjustment in the area of income taxation in advanced OECD countries since the 1980s. It distinguishes and characterizes different sources of competitive pressures and the corresponding policy responses. It analyzes the linkages between different options for policy adjustment, the new or increasingly severe trade-offs between different goals of national tax policy, and the impact of political and institutional factors on government’s decisions (and non-decisions) for particular paths of policy adjustment. The study combines three types of methods: statistical analysis of tax policies in advanced OECD countries, qualitative (“matched”) comparisons of the economics and politics of adjustment in seven OECD countries (Australia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden), and in-depth analysis and narrative of the political economy of adjustment in Germany.

In: Politische Vierteljahresschrift, Vol. 40, No. 3, 458–472 (1999) Democratic Politics in International Multilevel Governance Systems: The Regulation of Genetically Modified Plants and Food Susanne Lütz and William D. Coleman (McMaster University, Hamilton/Ontario) In an increasing number of policy domains, key policy decisions are no longer being made at the national level, but in supranational or intergovernmental organizations operating at a global level. Political scientists have only just begun to assess the implications of this shift of decision-making authority from national to multilevel systems for domestic processes of policy making and for patterns of interest intermediation. This research gap is especially significant because the migration of decision-making away from national governing systems also weakens traditional channels of democratic legitimation. Drawing specifically on the case of the regulation of genetically modified foods, the project looks at how decision-
making processes and the strategies of interest intermediation have changed in the past ten years. The key changes will be analyzed and their implications for democratic politics will be assessed. This two-year comparative study focuses on developments in Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada. It is supported by the Max Planck Society, the Bennigsen-Foerder Prize of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Project duration: March 2000 to September 2002. Susanne Lütz Interests, Institutions and the Politics of Regulation: Agricultural Biotechnology in the United States and the European Union (unpublished manuscript) Financial Policy and the Labor Market in the Netherlands Eric Seils After the first oil crisis many countries suffered from rapidly increasing public spending, high deficits, and soaring unemployment. The Netherlands, however, stands out as one of the few countries that have regained full employment and balanced budgets in the post-Keynesian era. To what extent can this be attributed to conscious policy decisions? What role have actor constellations and budget institutions played? These questions are the focus of this doctoral project. In 1983 the government shifted to supply-side financial policy involving a reduction of public outlays, the deficit, and the tax wedge in order to combat unemployment. Successive governments incorporated budget institutions into their coalition agreements which helped them to overcome the problem of fiscal illusion and to achieve expenditure restraint. Finally, it can be shown that the tax wedge had a significant impact on the development of unemployment in the period between 1973 and 2001. The dissertation aims to make a contribution to the theory of budget institutions. Methodologically, the study draws on diachronic comparisons as well as “process tracing.” Project duration: August 1999 to July 2002.

FernUniversität Hagen, Department of Education, Social Sciences and Humanities, August 2002 Tax Competition and Tax Harmonization in Europe: The Tax Policy of the European Union Philipp Genschel The globalization of markets makes it increasingly easy for taxpayers to evade high national taxes on mobile assets by moving the tax base abroad. Competition for mobile taxpay- Project Areas and Research Projects ers leads governments to lower taxes. This results in revenue losses, expenditure cutbacks, and higher taxes on less mobile taxpayers. Yet, in contrast to other policy areas where states have established international regimes to help coordinate their national policies, multilateral cooperation to stop tax competition has proven to be extremely difficult. Even in the EU, where the economic integration is deeper and the record of successful cooperation better than anywhere else in the world, attempts to regulate tax competition collectively have mostly failed. The study analyzes the causes of and possible remedies for tax competition in the EU by examining three tax areas offering widely differing degrees of tax base mobility: value-added taxes, business taxes, and interest taxes.
