Coordination in negotiation systems: examplified by the hunting net 1993 of Salzburg

By taking the formulation of the hunting act of 1993 in the province of Salzburg (Austria) as an example, it can be shown chat the approach of FRITZ W. SCWARPF which deals with the imbedding of positive and negative coordination into hierarchical or network-like structures can be fruitfully applied in the investigation and reconstruction of real-world decision-making processes. The two forms of imbedding can occur in a single policy process at the same time or at least one after the other. In order to explain political decision-making processes in general and coordination in negotiation systems in particular it is not sufficient to examine only the specific negotiation practices, but to deal also questions of access and accessability to a negotiation system.
