title = "Introduction to the special issue : reframing German Federalism",
abstract = "In recent years, Germany{\textquoteright}s federal system has been subject to a number of pressures for change. A constitutional debate on {\textquoteleft}disentangling{\textquoteright} the legislative roles of federal and L{\"a}nder institutions which stuttered through the 1990s and into the 2000s finally led to a re-allocation of competences in 2006. These reforms shifted some areas of legislative responsibility from the federal to the L{\"a}nder level and relaxed rules which had earlier justified a federal override when both levels held legislative responsibilities concurrently. At the very least, these constitutional adjustments increased the potential for policy outputs to diverge from one Land to another and give expression to territorial differences in priority and preference.
