The paper looks at the importance of the balance of power and reveals how domestic constraints and a shrinking win-set can affect double-level negotiations. It also offers an illustration of how governments can shape domestic politics by using international debates while still facing conflicting interests along the increasingly blurred line of domestic and international interests. It argues that the failure of international negotiations comes from actors misreading their own domestic political or ratification processes, rather than from parties’ incomplete information about each other’s political or ratification processes. Most of all, it shows how “politically constructed ideologies” and stereotypical views – in this case the definition of "fair" taxes or the concept of "privacy" – make it nearly impossible to reach an agreement.Law - Non-U.SHILCCLaw, Politics & GovernmentHILCCLaw - Europe, except U.KHILCCState | Nationbanking secrecySwiss bankingfinancegovernanceLaw - Non-U.S.Law, Politics & GovernmentLaw - Europe, except U.K.Nagelmackers-Voinov Misha951638PQKBBOOK9910140106403321The negotiations of a tax agreement between Switzerland and Germany : double trouble in double-level diplomacy2151388UNINA
