Beyond Merkel – East Germans’ Recruitment to Leadership Positions in the German Bundestag
The representation of East Germans in elite positions has been a broadly debated topic. Most studies show that, comparative to other elite sectors, East Germans are best represented in politics.

This paper looks at East German representation in parliamentary leadership positions. It finds East Germans…
Many New Faces, but Nothing New? The Sociodemographic and Career Profiles of German Bundestag Members in the Eighteenth Legislative Period

While providing an insight into the sociodemographic profiles and career track…

Out of the three, it was the one where there was little doubt that the CDU would, once again, appoint the next Prime Minister. Aside from the lack of surprise in the election outcome, this election had some historic moments. After the right-wing NPD was able to re-enter the Saxon Landtag, Saxony is the only German state parliament …
