Political Philosophy on Social Policy - Dictionary of Arguments

Mause I 582
Social Policy/Institutions/Political theories: political institutions have a restrictive influence on social policy action. In contrast to centrally structured states, federalist states with independent central banks; second chambers and other institutions have a rather slowing influence on the expansion of social policy. Schmidt (1993)(1)), Immergut (1992)(2), Tsebelis (2002)(3).
>Veto Player/Tsebelis
, >Institutions.
The dispersal of political decision-making powers in fragmented government systems (...) creates opportunities for blockades or at least veto opportunities for opponents of socio-political government projects. This increases the probability of maintaining the status quo.
