A new delegation relationship Sample Clauses

A new delegation relationship. ‌ The Brexit negotiations, as a case-study, can be insightful for the principal-agent literature. This is because Brexit, as a policy context, is not very ‘hospitable’ (Delreux and Xxxxxxxxxx 2018: 268) in the sense that the principal-agent relationship is not obvious from the outset. This opens greater possibilities in terms of confirmation of expectations and hypothesis-generation. Nonetheless, it also leads to the risk of ‘conceptual complacency’, in that there can be a temptation to reduce the complexity of a new context to make it fit the traditional concepts (Delreux and Adriaensen, 2018: 268). As Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxx (2017a, 2018), argue, a principal-agent relationship possesses two fundamental characteristics: ‘First, it establishes a hierarchy between the principal and the agent, as the agent receives its authority from the principal and as the principal remains in a position to withdraw the act of delegation – and thus to disempower the agent. Such a withdrawal mostly comes with enormous political costs – particularly because functional reasons initially drove the establishment of the act of delegation by the principal – but is not impossible. The principal’s original and ultimate authority over the delegated task makes the principal-agent relationship hierarchical. Second, a principal-agent relationship is always dyadic. It is a relationship between two (sets of) actors: a principal and an agent. Although a principal can delegate (various tasks) to various agents, and although an agent can execute different powers on behalf of different principals, an adequate principal-agent relationship captures a single dyadic relationship’ (Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxxx, 2019: 6).
