In modern societies, political decision-making takes place within the framework of policy fields, which over time develop in policy cycles. This project analyses the emergence of political fields/ policies in Germany during the late eighteenth and the first two thirds of the nineteenth centuries. On the one hand, it synthesizes the rise of policy fields and the development of single economic policies; on the other hand it provides a case study of state infrastructure (road construction) policies.
