Saved by the Greens
Since the federal election in 2021 Alliance 90/the Greens have governed in a novel "traffic-light" coalition with the Social Democrats and the Liberals. The Greens' willingness to experiment with new coalition models has precursors on the state level, where they have exhibited a surprising coalition flexibility. This article combines models from coalition theory with insights from issue ownership and niche parties to explain this flexibility. The…
Using television series to teach comparative and European politics
Despite increasing access to high quality television (TV) series in the golden age of television, political scientists (and especially scholars of comparative politics) have not systematically considered the possibilities that television series might offer for instruction. This article aims to fill this gap by illustrating the opportunities for teaching political science using TV series and outlining ways of integrating television series into the…
Not a Single-Digit Party Anymore
In the 2021 German federal election, Alliance 90/The Greens received its best result so far. The outcome was based in part on a popular party leadership, government participation in different coalition formats on the state level, and an increasing salience of environmental and climate policies with which the party is strongly associated. After the election, the Greens became part of a novel three-party coalition with Social Democrats and Liberals…

In popular culture, politics are frequently framed with negative stereotypes, and there is some overlap between the anti-establishment rhetoric of political humor and populist challengers. This article probes similarities shared by politicians as presented in the television comedies Eichwald MdB (about a backbencher in the Bundestag) and Ellerbeck (about a kindergarten teacher turned mayor) and supporters of the (right-)populist party Alternative…

Die Europawahl 2014
Welche Neuerungen brachte die Europawahl 2014? Wie prägten die Spitzenkandidaten Wahl und Wahlkampf? Was bedeuten die Gewinne der Protestparteien und die hohe Zahl an Nichtwählern? Die Beiträge in diesem Band diskutieren diese und weitere zentrale Aspekte der Europawahl 2014. Im Besonderen stehen einzelne Mitgliedsstaaten, die Auswirkungen von Finanz- und Schuldenkrise, die Rolle europäischer Parteien und die Konsequenzen der Wahl für das Regiere…
Die Europawahl 2014
Bündnis 90/Die Grünen
Die Grünen haben sich seit ihrer Gründung stark gewandelt. Von der Position des radikalen Außenseiters rückten sie in Richtung der Mitte des Parteiensystems. Ein Fingerzeig für die veränderte Stellung ist die gewachsene Koalitionsflexibilität auf Länderebene: Die Partei experimentiert inzwischen mit schwarz-grünen Bündnissen und Jamaika-Koalitionen und sondiert zugleich mit der SPD in Richtung rot-rot-grüner Kooperationen. Diese Multi-Optionalitä…
