Varieties of left-wing authoritarianism? The local foundations and intra-party heterogeneity of the German challenger party BSW
Research has emphasized both the existence of left-wing authoritarian attitudes among the European electorate and a lack of political supply. In Germany, this dynamic changed with the rise of the BSW. Advancing research on left-wing authoritarianism in general and the BSW specifically, we rely on original Voting Advice Application (VAA) data from six city elections in 2024, allowing us to study the supply- and demand-side at the local level. We h…
Parteiwille und Wähler: Innenwille: ein Match
Das Verhältnis von Partei- und Elektoratspositionen ist von Relevanz für das Verständnis politischer Dynamiken im Parteiensystem, insbesondere bei der Koalitionsbildung und dem Regieren mit Parteien. Der vorliegende Artikel analysiert für die kommunale Ebene, inwiefern Kongruenz bzw. Inkongruenz zwischen den Positionen von Parteien und denen ihrer Anhänger:innen besteht. Die empirische Grundlage bilden Primärdaten aus einer Voting Advice Applicat…
Nomenklatura and Organization of the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance
The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance ( bsw ) is the youngest party in Germany to have entered state parliaments from a standing start. While the programmatic positioning of the bsw and its electorate are already fruitful areas of study in this still young field of research, scholars have paid little attention to the leadership and organization of this party. To shed light on both aspects, this article draws on official party documents and publicly avai…
Geography of Shrinkage: Local Population Decline and Electoral Support for the Anti-establishment Parties AfD and BSW in East German State Elections
Supporting Diversity on Party Lists: Attitudes of German Party Gatekeepers towards Enhancing Immigrant Representation
Previous studies have found that political parties play a crucial role in explaining why certain minoritised groups are largely excluded from the parliamentary sphere. However, researchers still know relatively little about the specific challenges surrounding the selection of immigrant-origin candidates. There is some understanding of the demand dimension (e.g. aspiring migrants’ lack of political resources), but not much has been discovered abou…
What drives the intra-party democracy of the “Alternative for Germany: Populist ideology, low institutionalisation or lack of party unity
The organisation of populist radical right parties significantly shapes their long-term electoral success. Within this party family, great organisational variation can be found, with the “Alternative for Germany” (AfD) representing a least-likely case: in terms of candidate selection (CS), it ranks much higher on democracy scales than the other Bundestag parties. This paper explores the reasons for this high level of intra-party democracy (IPD) b…
Anti-Feminism in the Parliamentary Rhetoric of Leading Female Figures in the German AfD and US Republicans
The Experimental Catch-up Democratization of Intra-party Leadership Selection in Germany
In many Western democracies, the intra-party selection of party leaders has evolved to become significantly more democratic. In the case of Germany, a country known for its extraordinarily stable and coronation-like recruitment conditions, the recent changes to the Christian Democratic Union and Social Democratic Party will be described as experimental catch-up democratization. This article focuses on the input dimension of intra-party democracy …
How Democracy Works within a Populist Party: Candidate Selection in the Alternative for Germany
Does the demand for more direct democracy by populist parties have any implications for their internal decision-making? To answer this question, a novel large-scale research project analyses the 2017 candidate selection of all Bundestag parties, including the populist Alternative for Germany. Some 1,334 individual nominations of seven parties are compared using quantitative indicators along three dimensions of intra-party democracy (IPD): competi…
Digitalization in Candidate Selection. Support and Resistance Within Established Political Parties in Germany
The digitalization of human life has impacted many aspects of politics in the last two decades. Intra-party decision-making is one of them. While new political parties appear to be rather native digital organizations, established parties are increasingly beginning to incorporate online tools into their internal processes. However, not much is known about how intra-party selectorates evaluate the digitalization of a crucial decision-making process…
Give and take frames in shared-resource negotiations
Negotiations that involve contributions or distributions of shared resources are ubiquitous. However, the empirical literature has predominantly focused on how parties negotiate the exchange of exclusive resources in transaction negotiations (e.g., buyer–seller negotiations) and ignored shared-resource negotiations. We develop a novel negotiation task to investigate how parties resolve conflicts over the contribution versus distribution of resour…
Die Landesparlamente im Zeichen der Emergency Politics in der Corona-Krise
Auch wenn Deutschlands Performanz bei den Infektions- und Todeszahlen sowie den wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Folgen in Verbindung mit COVID-19 im EU27-Vergleich als zufriedenstellend bewertet würde, stellt sich die Frage nach der Input-Legitimität durch demokratische Verfahren. Sie wird ausgehend vom Konzept der Emergency Politics von Jonathan White am Beispiel Deutschlands mit seinem Notstandsregime der Bund-Länder-Konferenz und dessen Effekten…
Procedural frames in negotiations: How offering my resources versus requesting yours impacts perception, behavior, and outcomes
Although abundant negotiation research has examined outcome frames, little is known about the procedural framing of negotiation proposals (i.e., offering my vs. requesting your resources). In a series of 8 experiments, we tested the prediction that negotiators would show a stronger concession aversion and attain better individual outcomes when their own resource, rather than the counterpart's, is the accentuated reference resource in a transactio…
