What Does It Take for Immigrants to Join Political Parties
Political parties are crucial agents in democratic representation and political integration of persons of immigrant origin, a growing category of citizens in the European Union. Research demonstrates that citizens of immigrant origin are less likely to join political parties than persons without a migratory background. Nevertheless, party membership varies across countries and between immigrants. Accounting for such inter-individual and cross-nat…
Inequality, macroeconomic performance and political polarization: A panel analysis of 20 advanced democracies
This paper investigates the macroeconomic and social determinants of voting behavior, and especially of political polarization – defined here as the increasing electoral success of far-right and far-left parties – in 20 advanced countries using annual data from 1970 to 2016 and covering 291 parliamentary elections. Our analysis indicates that the link between income inequality and political polarization appears to have significantly changed over …
Party-system polarisation, legislative institutions and cabinet survival in 28 parliamentary democracies, 1945–2019
The resurgence of radical and populist parties has stimulated renewed discussions about the resilience of parliamentary democracy in Europe. This work contributes to this debate by analysing the extent to which positive parliamentarism, the prime minister’s parliamentary dissolution powers, the government’s power to table votes of confidence and the majority requirements for votes of no confidence serve as ‘shock absorbers’ moderating the effect …
The Politics of Select Committee Assignments in the British House of Commons
Legislative committees usually combine legislative and oversight functions. Most research has focused on the former. The British House of Commons offers an opportunity to shed light on MPs’ motivations to engage in the neglected oversight aspects of committee work, because its committee system separates lawmaking from investigatory functions. In this article, we examine the politics of assignment to the investigatory select committees. Using an o…
Veto power fosters cooperative behaviour: Institutional incentives and government-opposition voting in the German Bundestag
This article argues that opposition veto power in institutional arenas such as second chambers can foster a more consensual relationship between government and opposition parties in parliament. This theoretical claim is supported in the article using data on legislative voting behaviour in the German Bundestag. The statistical analysis shows that opposition and government parties are much more likely to vote the same way, if the opposition contro…
Roll-Call Votes in the German Bundestag: A New Dataset, 1949–2013
This letter introduces a comprehensive data collection on roll-call votes (RCVs) in the German Bundestag between 1949 and 2013. RCVs are one of the most important data sources on parliamentary behavior. Beyond producing legislative output, RCVs put the positions of Members of Parliament (MPs) and party groups on the public record, serve party leaders as an instrument with which to monitor backbench behavior, and enable opposition parties to obstr…
Zwischen Stillstand, Politikwandel und Krisenmanagement: Eine Bilanz der Regierung Merkel 2013-2017
Contractual Arrangements, Formal Institutions and Personalised Crisis Management: Coalition Governance Under Chancellor Merkel (2013–2017)
The cabinet Merkel III (2013–2017) faced several exogenous challenges that called for effective conflict management in this coalition of Christian Democrats (CDU and CSU) and Social Democrats (SPD). Following the SPD's hesitation to join the 'Grand Coalition' in 2013, ideological and strategic differences between the three coalition parties continued to shape policy-making throughout the entire legislative period. Intra-coalition conflict peaked …

Institutional Foundations of Legislative Agenda-Setting
Debate and Deliberation in Legislatures
Speech and debate occupy a central place in parliaments, yet have not generated significant interest among scholars of contemporary political science. This is partly attributed to the notion that parliamentary debate does not have any impact on policy-making. In the last twenty years, however, legislative speech has been recognized as more varied than commonly assumed, and may be much more than the sterile argumentative confrontation of oppositio…

The Oxford handbook of legislative studies
Over the past five years, legislative studies have emerged as a field of inquiry in political science. Many political science associations, both national and international, have created standing sections on legislative studies. There has also been a proliferation of literature on legislatures and legislators. This book focuses on legislatures and how they matter, how they have adapted to changes such as globalization and judicialization, and how …
The Sociology of Legislators and Legislatures
From ‘Dream Team’ to ‘Marriage of Convenience’? An Introduction
This introduction connects some of the main themes covered in this special issue on Chancellor Merkel's second coalition cabinet, which was formed in October 2009 and ended with the electoral collapse of the FDP in the Bundestag election of September 2013. It starts by setting out an interesting ‘puzzle’: the parties forming the coalition of 2009–2013 (CDU, CSU and FDP) had expressed a strong preference for this coalition in the run-up to the ele…

Minority-Ethnic MPs and the Substantive Representation of Minority Interests in the House of Commons, 2005-2011
Black, Asian and minority-ethnic (BAME) citizens are under-represented in the House of Commons. Nevertheless, the Chamber's ethnic composition has become more reflective of the general population as a result of the 2005 and 2010 parliamentary elections. The article seeks to map and explain variations in the extent to which BAME Members of Parliament (MPs) use the Chamber to articulate issues relevant to minority constituents. We compare the conte…
TheBundestagand German Citizens: More Communication, Growing Distance
This contribution examines how links between citizens and members of the Bundestag have evolved since 1949. The focus is on institutional incentives relating to the electoral system and the rules of procedure in the Bundestag. In addition, new incentives arising from technological developments (especially internet and Web 2.0 applications) are explored regarding their effect on individual parliamentary behaviour vis-à-vis citizens and the Bundest…
Parliamentary Questions as Instruments of Substantive Representation: Visible Minorities in the UK House of Commons, 2005–10
Does the growing descriptive representation of minority-ethnic legislators in the British House of Commons have any implications for the substantive representation of minority-related issues in the UK Parliament? This study is based on a data set of over 16,000 parliamentary questions tabled by 50 British backbench Members of Parliament (MPs) in the 2005–10 Parliament, including the 16 immigrant-origin MPs with a 'visible-minority' background. Ba…

Actors, Structures and Strategies: Policy Continuity and Change under the German Grand Coalition (2005–09)
Coalition Governance Under Chancellor Merkel's Grand Coalition: A Comparison of the Cabinets Merkel I and Merkel II
A comparison of the 2005-2009 cabinet Merkel I (the "Grand" Coalition) and the Christian Democrat-Liberal coalition cabinet Merkel II formed in 2009 presents an interesting puzzle. Political commentators and coalition theorists alike would have expected the CDU/CSU-SPD coalition to experience a relatively high, and the CDU/CSU-FDP coalition a relatively low level of overt inter-party conflict. In reality, however, relations in the CDU/CSU-FDP coa…

Members of parliament and governments in western Europe: Agency relations and problems of oversight
The vast majority of West European polities feature an agency relationship between members of parliaments and members of cabinets as the latter depend on the confidence of the majority of the former to remain in office. In this article, the terminology used by principalagent theory to characterise oversight activities – contract design, screening, monitoring and the use of institutional checks – and elements of transaction cost economics are appl…

Deliberate delegation or abdication? Government backbenchers, ministers and European Union legislation
This paper analyses how key structural characteristics of the relationship between ministers and government backbenchers influence the extent to which national parliaments of European Union (EU) member states are able to scrutinise and influence EU law-making. Two theoretical perspectives – a ‘parliamentary abdication’ and a ‘delegation’ perspective – will be used to test contrasting hypotheses. The empirical evidence presented is not unequivocal…

Professionalisation of parliamentary roles in germany: An aggregate‐level analysis, 1949–94
The professionalisation of parliamentary politics and the rise of the career politician is one of the most important changes in post‐war German parliamentarism. In the first part of this article, aggregate data are used to describe the nature and extent of this trend over time (1949–94). In the second part, Robert K. Merton's concept of 'role‐set' is used to examine how professionalisation affects the strategies to reduce disturbances within role…
The German Party System: Continuity and Change
This article assesses continuity and change in the German party system since unification in 1990. From a methodological point of view, this presents a challenge, because there are at least three kinds of trends which are difficult to disentangle: (1) the direct effects of unification, (2) general longer-term trends independent of, but coinciding with, unification and, (3) indirect effects of unification (that is, for example, general trends accel…

Economic and Political Reactions to the World Economic Crisis of the 1930s in Six European Countries
In this article economic and political responses to the Depression in Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Britain are analyzed. Each country applied a specific mixture of deflationary policies coupled with import restrictions, subventions and—later on—some active employment measures. At best these measures contributed to the recovery of the economy when it was already on its way back. Like the measures of economic crisis, elec…
The politics of national‐populism: Ideology and policies of the German Republikaner party
In this article, the Republikaner party's ideology and policies are explored on the basis of programmes and other public statements. There will be an emphasis on economic policies and issues of national and ethnic identity. It will be argued that the Republikaner party is targeting a broader electoral coalition than its main competitors and predecessors on the extreme right. In its attempt to mobilise a broad and heterogeneous protest coalition a…

Rational‐choice theory in legislative studies: Models of politics without romanticism
Rational‐choice theory, especially in its neo‐institutionalist variants, is a useful tool for the explanation of legislative behaviour. It allows to generate testable hypotheses about the link between the motives of individual parliamentarians, institutional structures and policies. Based on a general theory of action, rational‐choice explanations are deductive and reductionist making them particularly useful for the comparative study of parliame…
Conflict and Consensus in Germany's Bi-cameral System: A Case Study of the Passage of the Agenda 2010
The chances for the second Schröder government’s Agenda 2010 reforms to be enacted were slim as the government lacked a majority in the Bundesrat and the reforms met with hostility in the governing parties, the trades unions and parts of the electorate. Nevertheless, the reforms were passed in 2003. Building on a veto-player framework, the present case study demonstrates that highly contested policy reforms such as the Agenda 2010 can be passed e…
Party identification and the social bases of voting behaviour in the 2002 Bundestag election
In this paper it will be shown that socio-economic variables such as class and religious denomination still play and important – if reduced – role in explaining voting behaviour in Germany. Party identification still contributes to a stabilisation of the parties’ vote, but has continued to decline in Western Germany and has continued to be relatively low in Eastern Germany. The loosening of traditional longer-term ties between parties and importa…

Up and down with the Extreme Right in Germany, 1949–1996
In the post-war period, (West) Germany has witnessed several cycles of extreme right-wing protest. In this article, the dynamics of these cycles will be studied. What are the causes of the cyclical ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ in the extreme right's electoral fortunes? Are the cycles of violent activity related to the cycles of electoral success? In order to address these questions, the extreme right will be analysed as a social movement whose activities ar…

Sarà un originale senza precedenti, una personalità adeguata alle caratteristiche e ai bisogni del suo tempo.

Germany: Stability and Strategy in a Mixed‐Member Proportional System
If mixed-member systems are ‘in vogue’, then the choice of many electoral reformers in Germany is the archetype for this system. Electors have two votes, one for a candidate in a single member district and one for a party on a closed party list. Voters can, and increasingly do ‘split their tickets’, voting strategically for different parties on the two ballots, with the possible aim of influencing coalition formation. The electoral system has enj…
Governance in Contemporary Germany: The Semisovereign State Revisited
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, West Germany was considered to be one of the world's most successful economic and political systems. In his seminal 1987 analysis of West Germany's 'semisovereign' system of governance, Peter Katzenstein attributed this success to a combination of a fragmented polity, consensus politics and incremental policy changes. However, unification in 1990 has both changed Germany's institutional configuration and created ec…
