大联盟是一种特定类型的政府,在奥地利和德国被称为政府中主要竞争政党的合作,团结在政府在议会中的绝大多数席位背后。大联盟使他们的合作伙伴在实现政党目标和对其政策的要求方面面临特定的挑战。这反过来又增加了对联合政府治理的要求。本文分析了安格拉·默克尔领导下的大联盟如何应对联盟管理的问题。在这样做的过程中,它将其管理机制与20世纪60年代的德国大联盟和许多奥地利此类内阁所采用的机制进行了比较。它衡量联盟内部冲突的程度,并显示联盟管理工具是如何被用来管理或解决冲突的。具体地说,它表明,当冲突程度上升时,联盟委员会被更频繁地召集起来,大联盟的大多数关键决定已经包含在联盟协议中。然而,并非所有计划都得到了全面实施。总体而言,大联盟实施了重要的改革。虽然由于大联盟克服阻力的能力而未能达到大联盟提出的高期望,但在考虑到大联盟治理的具体限制时,大联盟做得很好。
Grand Coalitions are a specific type of government known in Austria and Germany as the cooperation of the main competing parties in government, rallying behind the governments' vast parliamentary majorities. Grand Coalitions subject their partners to specific challenges in terms of achieving party goals and demands on their policies. This, in turn, increases the demands on coalition governance. The article analyses how the Grand Coalition under Angela Merkel has coped with the problems of coalition management. In so doing it compares its management mechanisms with those employed by the German Grand Coalition of the 1960s and the many Austrian cabinets of this type. It measures the level of intra-coalition conflict and shows how coalition management instruments have been employed to mange or resolve conflict. Specifically, it shows that the coalition committee was summoned more frequently when conflict levels were up and that most of the Grand Coalition's key decisions had already been contained in the coalition agreement. Yet not all plans were fully implemented. Overall the Grand Coalition enacted important reforms. While failing to meet the high expectations a Grand Coalition raises because of its capacity of overcoming resistance, it did well when considering the constraints specific to Grand Coalition governance.
