Praise for The Institutions of Programmatic Action
“This carefully researched and argued book continues the development of the
Programmatic Action Framework, an approach to policy-making built on the basis
of careful examination of the situation in France where policy-making is character-
ized by how ‘policy actors coalesce around a policy program to achieve policy
change in order to advance their own authority and careers in a policy area’. The
approach combines elements from public administration, elite sociology, and social
psychology to help explain policy dynamics and provides many insights into how
policies develop, are maintained, and change. By examining the similarities and
differences between the German and French health policies, the book highlights
how program coalitions and activities in each country differ in terms of socializa-
tion and elite formation – which in Germany promotes cross-program identities as
lawyers or party politicians rather than purely program proponents – and in the
degree of institutionalized involvement of expert advice in the policy process. This
work advances knowledge of programmatic actors comparatively and, as such,
moves understanding of the central concept of this promising approach to policy
studies forward.”

CHAPTER 1
Introduction
the PAF adds a complementary lens to explain policy change and stability.
With regard to the former, the PAF integrates the assumption that the
actors close to the bureaucratic state apparatus exert a direct influence on
policy formulation. The sociology of elites sees the trajectories of policy
actors as roots for their behavior, which is taken up in the PAF by looking
at shared biographies as a source of cooperation between policy actors.
Finally, the Social Identities in the Policy Process (SIPP) perspective
(Hornung et al., 2019) provides an explanation for the long-term stability
of social groups based on distinct social identities. These can include bio-
graphical/demographic identities, but—in the long run—also program-
matic identities, which specifically refer to groups that form around a
policy program. The observation that so-called programmatic groups
push their policy programs until they achieve policy change is called pro-
grammatic action and gives the framework its name.
Research has noted that the shape of programmatic groups may vary
depending on the political institutions in which they form (Hassenteufel
et al., 2010), but has so far not addressed how these institutions influence
the occurrence of programmatic action. However, to make the theoretical
perspective a valuable addition to comparative public policy, it is indis-
pensable to reflect on the institutional conditions necessary for program-
matic action to be observed. This gap will be filled by this study by
answering the question: Under which institutional conditions program-
matic action does occur in the first place and how do political institutions
contribute to the success or failure of programmatic groups? Given that the
PAF has evolved from the programmatic approach, which was originally
developed against the background of French policy-making and the speci-
ficities of the French political system, one might think that the PAF repre-
sents a unique account of French policy processes. However, PAF
applications to other political systems with different institutional settings
in terms of federalism, corporatism, and the structure of policy sectors
show that the PAF actually demonstrates some traveling capacity across
countries and policy fields (Davidian, 2021; Duque, 2021; Hornung &
Bandelow, 2020). The present study complements PAF research with a
systematic analysis of the institutional preconditions necessary for pro-
grammatic action to come about. It thus answers the question of the insti-
tutional conditions under which programmatic action takes place—an
endeavor that has not yet been explicitly considered in previous research.
To this end, a systematic analysis of instances of programmatic action in
two institutionally different states is conducted: France and Germany. This
1 INTRODUCTION 3
United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK), retrenchment and
austerity reforms were adopted under Thatcher and Reagan, respectively,
with the goal of dismantling the welfare state, but they largely did not
produce the desired results (Pierson, 1994; Starke, 2006, p. 105).
The conflict between custodians and austerians is very specific to the
French case and an ideal-typical pattern that rooted primarily in the analy-
sis of biographical trajectories. Depending on the positions the actors took
in the social security or financing sector, they can be assigned to one of the
two sides of the conflict. The analysis thus followed a sociological research
design of elite research. Adapting this lens to policy research and countries
other than France therefore requires a generalization of the conflict pre-
sented and a modification of the actor concept. As the programmatic
approach was modified in light of the emerging PAF, the term elite was
later dropped in favor of the framework-related terms programmatic actor
(individual actor) or programmatic group (collective actor). This not only
facilitates the delineation of actors by circumventing the need to define
what comprises an “elite”, but also ensures transferability to other political
and education systems, where elite thinking is less inherent.
To briefly clarify the roots of the “programmatic” term: The original
perspective on “custodians” versus “austerians” was associated with the
idea that the two sides were advancing different policy programs—long-
term strategies and visions in shaping the health care sector—one pursuing
the path of neoliberal austerity and the other that of social protection. The
programmatic approach assumed competition between elite actors who
formulate their views on the sector through policy programs and use their
intellectual and power resources to implement them (Genieys &
Hassenteufel, 2015, p. 281f). At least in health policy, reform paths
seemed to follow a coherent policy program of a group of programmatic
actors who used their resources to implement their ideas and compete
against the so-called austerians in the struggle for authority.
Although the genesis of the PAF starts from a very specific institutional
setting of French policy-making, with a powerful bureaucracy and an
executive elevated by the ENA, programmatic action also occurred in
German health policy, characterized by completely different institutional
characteristics of both the political and the health care system. Looking at
the policy processes in German health policy since the 1980s, there are
interconnected policies that presumably follow a common coherent
thread—a policy program—that cannot be explained by existing theoreti-
cal perspectives in policy process research (Hornung & Bandelow, 2020).
1 INTRODUCTION 5
Between the early 1990s and 2011, a programmatic group around the
program “Competition in a Solidaristic Framework” (Knieps, 2017, p. 12)
shaped German health policy (Hornung & Bandelow, 2020). The current
version of the PAF has overcome the divide between “custodians” and
“austerians” visible in France and adds to policy process research in gen-
eral the explanation of programmatic action for policy change. The appli-
cability of the PAF in policy process research has since been tested in
several studies. However, although existing research demonstrates the
applicability of the PAF in different institutional contexts, it is still under-
theorized and insufficiently explored which institutional predispositions
actually enable or hinder programmatic action. It is this theoretical and
empirical puzzle this study ties in with.
As a consequence of the above puzzle, the guiding research question to
be answered in this contribution arises systematically from the theoretical
under-specification of the PAF in terms of the institutional opportunities
and constraints of programmatic action and the empirical puzzle of why
the PAF has developed the same explanatory power in terms of observed
policy processes and policy outputs in the most diverse institutional settings
of France and Germany. The overarching research question is therefore:
1.2 Methodology
To gain insights into the processes of policy-making and the institutions
that drive programmatic action, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth
analysis of these processes. Since the research questions do not aim at
examining average effects of variables on outcomes, but take a process
perspective on the institutions of programmatic action and thus require
fundamental insights into the policy process, a qualitative research design
suggests itself. There is a standardized procedure for a study of program-
matic action that includes six steps divided into three main tasks (see
Fig. 1.1). These consist of a positional and sociological analysis of pro-
grammatic actors, an analysis of the links between programmatic actors
and a policy program, and an analysis of the power of the programmatic
group in terms of its resources and impact in the overall policy process
(Hassenteufel & Genieys, 2021).
Institutions can be relevant at any level of this research protocol. They
indicate the key positions that actors must occupy and influence the trajec-
tories that policy actors reveal, they can be an expression of policy pro-
grams and a frame for programmatic actors to promote their policy
program within. They can be critical in the allocation of resources to pro-
grammatic actors and influence the implementation of the policy program.
Consequently, each of the three steps is carried out for the cases of pro-
grammatic action studied in order to be able to uncover the institutional
effects on the whole process of programmatic action. To this end, the
empirical analysis draws on several data sources. Official legislative texts,
documents of the legislative process, and public reports and newspaper
articles are used to identify programs. In addition, biographical files and
1 INTRODUCTION 7
2011 onward, is also included in the analysis. The fact that the period of
analysis from 2010 onward in the aftermath of the financial crisis shows a
persistence of the programmatic group in France and an end to the pro-
grammatic group in Germany makes it all the more possible to clarify the
institutional conditions of programmatic action.
In order to analyze the factors of success, it is necessary to define what
a successful programmatic group and policy program are. Success is mul-
tidimensional and can refer to the realm of process, program, and politics
(McConnell, 2010). Specifically, program and political success are relevant
to PAF, but in a different understanding than in existing research. Since
programmatic actors are not elected and thus cannot achieve political in
terms of electoral success, their success is defined by having more author-
ity and resources in the sector. Thus, a programmatic group is successful if
its members move up the career ladder, hold key positions in the sector for
a long time, and have resources (both financial and regulatory) to influ-
ence their policy sector. Indicators of financial and regulatory resources
would be increased budgetary importance to their policy sector (e.g.,
increased spending) and an increased policy authority for health care
decision-making.
The success of a policy program in terms of the PAF is unrelated to a
normative outcome, that is, an assessment of whether the adoption and
implementation of a policy has led to the desired result, at least insofar as
it does not affect the overall goals of the policy program. To give an exam-
ple, if the vision of the policy program is greater interlocking of care across
sectors, and one reform step is the establishment of medical care centers
overseen by multiple institutions to coordinate care across sectors, it is not
of interest to the programmatic group promoting the policy program
whether these medical care centers actually improve care in a normative
sense by, for example, ensuring access to specialists or improving quality of
medical interventions. As long as the overall goal of a closer sector integra-
tion, which is the vision of the policy program, is achieved, policy out-
comes and evaluations such as good or bad policy are of secondary, not
primary, interest. Policy program success is defined here as the adoption of
a policy program and its persistence, which is completely independent of
normative effects but depends solely on the interests of the programmatic
actors who profit from its implementation (Wenzelburger & Zohlnhöfer,
2015, p. 19).
Revealing the factors of success of programmatic groups and policy
programs that are embedded in the institutions that enable or hinder
1 INTRODUCTION 11
1.3 Outline
Taken these considerations together, it is worth recapitulating what this
book does and does not aim to do. Starting from the observation that
programmatic action occurred in the health care systems of France and
Germany despite their most different institutional designs, the main argu-
ment to be advanced in the following chapters is that there are institu-
tional predispositions in each nation that allow for the formation of
programmatic groups and the resulting promotion and implementation of
their policy program over several years. While there is already evidence of
programmatic action in France and Germany during the period of obser-
vation, it has not yet been systematically analyzed what institutional fac-
tors enabled programmatic action. This is particularly relevant given that
the political institutions of federalism, corporatism, and party systems dif-
fer considerably in the two states. To what extent can the institutional
preconditions be generalized on a broader level to make PAF applicable
beyond the French, German, and European borders? To achieve this goal,
the main contribution of this book is to conduct a detailed systematic and
comparative analysis of the presence and absence of programmatic action
in French and German health policy over the past 30 years, and to identify
the commonalities that have enabled this programmatic action in France
and Germany.
It is worth noting that the analysis of programmatic action is possible
by starting from one of the two sides of the pole: programmatic actors or
policy programs. Given that this book is situated in the field of policy pro-
cess research, the variable of interest remains policies. Consequently, the
empirical analysis begins with a systematic overview on relevant sectoral
policies. It devotes its attention, firstly, to the analysis of policy programs
that encompass a consistent and coherent vision for the health sector,

flexible to some degree (p. 30), and their rationality is assumed only inso-
far as it involves the pursuit of legitimate authority (p. 44).
While the policy program and the programmatic elite are mutually rein-
forcing, it is unclear whether the program precedes the elite group that
gathers around it (Genieys & Michel, 2005, p. 187) or whether the group
exists before its program is developed. One can bluntly argue that this is a
question of empirics rather than theory, as theoretical considerations are
primarily concerned with what drives successful programmatic action and
under what conditions it occurs. Thus, it may be both that a program-
matic group forms around an existing policy idea or that it emerges before
it formulates its policy program.
Indeed, looking at career trajectories and “life cycles” (Michel, 2008,
p. 165) in the study of programmatic elites might lead us to consider
related concepts of generational change not only in policy processes
(Obinger, 2012), but also in terms of the values and attitudes that differ-
ent generations exhibit (Fisher, 2020; Shaykhutdinov, 2019; Wu & Lin,
2019). Generational change, however, implies a compelling exchange of
generations as a function of elapsed time, regardless of how a particular
group’s positions change, how its policy program changes, or how net-
works are built and dissolved. Consequently, what is captured by a consid-
eration of generations is not the focus of the programmatic approach.
Already in the early versions of the programmatic approach, there is a
reference to programmatic elites as social groups, their sectoral meaning,
and corresponding identity (Genieys, 2010, p. 14). In particular, the
emphasis on programmatic actors coalescing into social groups and social
identities driving the group dynamics of these actors to explain their col-
lective action in the policy process has been the subject of ongoing rein-
terpretation and development of the PAF. This represents the only recent
starting point for incorporating social identities in the policy process
(Hornung, Bandelow & Vogeler, 2019).
In an attempt to integrate psychological and social psychological
insights into the study of public administration and public policy, new
strands of research have emerged under the labels of Behavioral Public
Administration (Bhanot & Linos, 2019; Grimmelikhuijsen et al., 2017)
and Behavioral Public Policy (Ewert, 2019; John & Stoker, 2019; Lodge,
2019; Strassheim, 2019). The concepts of bounded rationality have long
been part of policy process research and, in particular, actor-centered the-
ories of the policy process assume a model of the individual from which
psychological assumptions allow the derivation of behavioral hypotheses.
22 J. HORNUNG
In contrast, social identity theories have found little entry into policy pro-
cess research, but their disregard is considered an “enormous blind spot”
(Béland, 2019, p. 29). Far better known in political science are the big five
personality traits of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emo-
tional stability, and intellect/imagination (Goldberg, 1990; McCrae &
Costa, 1987), which are increasingly referenced in research on political
behavior (Ackermann, 2016; Duckitt & Sibley, 2016; Weinschenk, 2017).
However, these are difficult to operationalize for policy actors relevant to
policy processes. Questionnaires tend to be extensive, and even the brief
measures of personality traits rely on 10-item measures (Gosling et al.,
2003), which are unlikely to be fully answered by a sufficient number of
policy actors. It should not be neglected here that the big five personality
traits may be able to shed light on important behavioral observations of
policy actors, for example, how high levels of extraversion and agreeable-
ness make policy actors more likely to engage in policy entrepreneurship
(Timmermans et al., 2014, pp. 5-6). However, addressing how policy
actors work together and how collective action leads to policy change sug-
gests a more social psychological integration of psychological insights in
the form of social identity research.
Compared to existing psychological foundations for policy process the-
ories, the Social Identity Approach (SIA) offers a complementary theoreti-
cal perspective on individual preferences and behavior. The SIA
circumscribes the combination of the Social Identity Theory (SIT) and
the Self-Categorization Theory (SCT). The former was developed largely
by Tajfel (1974) and the latter was refined by his student Turner (1982)
(Hornsey, 2008, p. 208). Their approaches are interrelated and both
relate to the concept of social groups, albeit with slightly different empha-
ses. Originally developed as a theory of intergroup relations, the SIT seeks
to examine intergroup behavior to explain cooperation and conflict
between groups, focusing on in-group and out-group behavior, and the
behavior that individuals exhibit in intergroup relations. Here, Tajfel
defines social identity as “that part of the individual’s self-concept which
derives from their knowledge of their membership of a s social group (or
groups) together with the value and emotional significance attached to
that membership” (Tajfel, 1982, p. 3). The SCT is more concerned with
the intragroup processes and cognitive aspects of identification and aims
to uncover the underlying cognitive processes of individuals as they assign
themselves and others to social categories and behave accordingly. The
cognitive processes that lead individuals to identify with a social group are
2 PROGRAMMATIC ACTION AND POLICY PROCESSES 23

basis of Bandelow, Hornung, and Smyrl (2021, p. 11)
although empirical applications of the PAF already exist, they rarely address
the institutions that enable or hinder programmatic action. Instead, they
are merely points of contact or indications of potentially relevant institu-
tions, such as the particular importance of self-governance in German
health policy (Hornung & Bandelow, 2020). Hassenteufel et al. (2010)
provide a starting point by arguing that variations in institutional settings
influence the types of programmatic actors one is likely to find. However,
they do not focus on the similarity of institutional settings that enable
programmatic action in the first place. Bringing these institutions together
with the study of policy process research is an attempt that has been suc-
cessfully made by other theoretical frameworks (Fischer, 2015; Lubell,
2003; Wenzelburger, 2015; Zohlnhöfer et al., 2016). This study intends
to do the same for the PAF, asking about the very institutions in different
states that enable or hinder programmatic action.
Policy actors refer to those actors who are directly involved in policy-
making. Assuming that policy actors seek authority in competition with
other policy actors, cooperate with other policy actors based on shared
biographies, and normatively use a policy program to achieve their strate-
gic goal, the social group resulting from this mechanism is referred to as a
programmatic group. Programmatic groups are thus defined as social
groups that form around a policy program and thus form a social identity.
Their members join together on the basis of biographical ties, pursue a
strategic and an ideational goal, the latter being a means to achieve the
former (Saurugger, 2013), and commit to the group’s policy program to
this end. When policy actors form programmatic groups, they become
programmatic actors.
The concept of policy programs differs from existing conceptualiza-
tions of policy content in policy process research. A policy program is
defined as not only arguments, measures, and instruments of policy change
to achieve specific policy goals, but also a shared strategy in doing, so as
well as a previously shared view of existing policy failures and problems
(Hassenteufel & Genieys, 2021). Due to its visionary nature, program-
matic change in policy sectors is often only visible after several years, when
first steps of the program have been implemented and a coherent vision
can be observed in the adopted reforms. In this respect, it is comparable
to a so-called institutionalized reform that is implemented gradually and
planned as a learning, adaptive system (Pannowitsch, 2009, p. 142).
Nevertheless, observing innovative impulses in a policy sector that have
the potential to shape it over several years and that are tied to a group of
