How Centralized is Party Communication on Social Media
Social media has become an indispensable tool for politicians, allowing them to bypass traditional media and party filters to directly communicate with voters. This presents both opportunities and challenges for political parties. On the one hand, politicians can personalize their message to resonate with local constituents. On the other, parties risk appearing disjointed with potential electoral consequences when they fail to present a clear mes…
Populists before power
The Variance of German University Governance
Temporal Strategies
Does a government in a bicameral system strategically alter the length of the legislative process in the first chamber in anticipation of future majorities in the second chamber? Drawing on an existing formal model of dynamic policymaking, we argue that governing majorities strategically accelerate or delay their agenda when a potential majority change in the second chamber is imminent. If the government fears losing control over the second chamb…
The legitimacy‐conferring capacity of constitutional courts
Can constitutional court decisions shape public opinion on a governmental policy? Previous studies have focused on the US Supreme Court, which enjoys a high degree of public support as the major resource of power for courts. In this study, we examine the extent to which courts can influence public opinion regarding a government bill at European courts. First, we argue that the public support for courts also allows them to move public opinion on p…
Emotions and voting behavior in self-determination referendums
Dominating the debate
Brexit has been the most important issue in British politics in recent years. Whereas extra-parliamentary actors dominated the run-up to the 2016 referendum, the issue moved back to Parliament after the vote. This paper analyses newspaper reporting on Brexit in major British outlets during the post-referendum phase from July 2017 to March 2019. We study the visibility of Members of Parliament to assess whether the debate was balanced between part…
Constitutional courts as veto players
The number of constitutional courts and supreme courts with constitutional review rights has strongly increased with the third wave of democratisation across the world as an important element of the new constitutionalism. These courts play an important role in day‐to‐day politics as they can nullify acts of parliament and thus prevent or reverse a change in the status quo. In macro‐concepts of comparative politics, their role is unclear. Either t…
Is anybody listening? The Committee of the Regions and the European Economic and Social Committee and their quest for awareness
The Committee of the Regions (CoR) and the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) are two consultative bodies in the European legislative arena. While they have privileged access to the European Parliament (EP) and the Council of Ministers through submitting opinions on draft European Union (EU) legislation, EU legislators do not always read the opinions and are consequently often unaware of what the CoR and the EESC propose. This article …
The C ommittee of the R egions and the E uropean E conomic and S ocial C ommittee
The E uropean E conomic and S ocial C ommittee ( EESC ) and the C ommittee of the R egions ( CoR ) are two advisory bodies of the E uropean U nion involved in a broad array of policy areas. However, little is known about the effects of the two committees on the positions of the other institutions or final policy outcomes. This article investigates to what extent and under what conditions the CoR and the EESC can exert influence. Based on a compre…
Reform Processes and Policy Change
Beyond Judicialization
Constitutional courts play an increasing role in policymaking and the concepts of comparative politics. Traditionally, research has focused on the Judicialization hypothesis for European courts. This article argues that there is a major research gap regarding justices’ preferences, intra- and inter-institutional rules and that it is necessary to move beyond the Judicialization hypothesis to integrate courts in concepts of comparative politics. It…
Parlamente, Agendasetzung und Vetospieler
Wie wirken Vetospieler auf die Gesetzgebung? Welchen Vorteil besitzen dabei diejenigen Akteure, die Tagesordnung und Abstimmungsinhalte festlegen können? Diese Fragen stehen im Vordergrund des 13 Beiträge umfassenden Bandes zu Ehren von Herbert Döring. Zusätzlich werden thematisiert: Variablen der Kabinettsstabilität in Westeuropa, der Zusammenhang von Föderalismus und makroökonomischer Performanz, die Rolle politischer Themen in der Europäischen…
The Electoral Connection
Constitutional courts are often considered to be 'veto players' or 'third chambers of parliament'. However, no attention has been paid to the composition of European constitutional courts and how they make decisions. Do European judges exhibit political preferences as their US counterparts do? If so, it is important to know who selects the judges as the selection determines the outcome. This article analyses the composition of the German Bundesve…

Verfassungsgericht, Regierung und Opposition
Christoph Hönnige untersucht oppositionelle Klagen und Erfolge vor dem Verfassungsgericht in Deutschland und Frankreich von 1974 bis 2002 in einem Most Different Systems Design. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass die politische Zusammensetzung eines Gerichtes die Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeit oppositioneller Klagen beeinflusst. Entsprechend berücksichtigt die Opposition bei ihrer Entscheidung zur Klage gegen Regierungsgesetze die Mehrheitsverhältnisse im G…

Vote of confidence procedure andGesetzgebungsnotstand
This article discusses two crucial devices for governmental control of the parliamentary agenda in Germany from the point of view of comparative politics. The vote of confidence procedure makes a contested policy an up-or-down proposal by linking it to the continuity of government, whereas the Gesetzgebungsnotstand gives government a last-offer privilege on a bill. The peculiarities of constitutional norms and political practice of the German pro…
Opening the Black Box
As an advisory body the Committee of the Regions' influence on policy-making in the EU depends on its ability to structure internal decision-making according to major lines of conflict. Given its heterogeneous composition, which cleavages do exist and what effects do collective actors and institutional rules have? Based on quantitative analysis of decisions and qualitative interpretation of interviews we find a low level of conflict. Where confli…
