What we focus upon here is essentially the politics of policy making in a political system divided into numerous interests and with a governmental structure that is institutionally and organizationally quite complex. We shall attempt an eclectic examination of some concepts and theories in the literature of ‘subsystem’ politics. By the term ‘subsystem’ we mean political relations among people in special policy areas coming from different institutions and organizations in the larger system. The politics of subsystems consists of relations between the system and the subsystem, as well as relations within the subsystem itself.
