Do citizens care who makes policy? In Germany, some policies can be adopted either by federal or state governments. But do voters have preferences over which actor adopts a policy? Turns out, they mostly do not. New paper out @epsrjournal.bsky.social 🧵 1/8 www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

🤔 🤓 Is comparative federalism able to provide explanatory insights or is it entirely a heuristic exercise to identify similarities and differences across federations? And which aspects of federalism can be meaningfully compared?
