The preparation of project proposals for the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 on the sub-national level in Germany provides an opportunity to study decision-making processes in ministries and compare their respective results in this respect.Using document analysis, expert interviews, qualitative content analysis as well as QCA, this thesis in political science analyses how decision-making processes within bureaucracies impact the decision output in transport infrastructure planning. It contributes to the discussion on bureaucracy-politics interactions that is relevant beyond the German case.One result is that ministries tend to use complex decision-making processes for topics deemed salient as long as the available capacity permits it. Consequently, in order to conduct legitimacy-enhancing steps - such as public participation - a well-funded bureaucracy is indispensable. 517 $aOn Track or Off The Rails? 606 $aInfrastructure (Economics) 615 0$aInfrastructure (Economics) 676 $a363 700 $aRademann$b Jenny$01242476 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910558199303321 996 $aOn Track or Off The Rails$92882128 997 $aUNINA
