The article studies interministerial coordination in German federal government in the case of the 'Interministerial Working Group on Adaptation' (IMA). By analyzing coordination in the field of climate adaptation policy, the article investigates a crosscutting policy field with a typically high functional demand for interministerial coordination. The article shows that the IMA's working procedures are predominantly characterised by the features of negative coordination: The 'lead' ministry assumes a steering role, information is collected rather than shared, consensus is based on the veto-right of single ministries and the coordination output ('Aktionsplan Anpassung', APA) does neither reflect a shared concept of adaptation policy nor joined policy measures. The coordination process as well as the APA reflect the selective perceptions and single organisational interests, which become manifest in defending individual areas of competence, the veto-rights based on the departmental principle as well as in the dominance of single departmental projects in the APA. The article is based on expert interviews and document analysis. Adapted from the source document.
