The Russian invasion of Ukraine: Implications for politics, territory and governance
10.1080/21622671.2023.2256119
Th anniversary of Territory, Politics, Governance: Achievements and prospects
Ten years ago, the founding Editor-in-Chief of Territory, Politics, Governance, Professor John Agnew, published an editorial in the inaugural issue of this journal. Launched by the Regional Studies Association, and enabled and supported by fellow editors and the publishing team, the vision of the journal was set out clearly and concisely: ‘The intersection between the three words in the journal’s name defines the central purpose of the journal: t…
The Covid-19 pandemic: Territorial, political and governance dimensions of the crisis
As editors of Territory, Politics, Governance, we want first and foremost to express our solidarity with those affected and impacted directly by the COVID-19 pandemic. While none of us is untouched by the current public health crisis, what has unfolded thus far reveals only too clearly the inbuilt inequalities of contemporary capitalist society in terms of mortality, illness and recovery (for a pre-COVID-19 discussion of the United States, see Ca…
Why, sometimes, primaries? Intraparty democratization as a default selection mechanism in German and Spanish mainstream parties
In many Western democracies, political parties have started to open to members the selection of their leaders. While most studies focus on the introduction of this new selection method, its subsequent practice is still understudied. The article contributes to our still limited knowledge of this process by looking at two multilevel countries, Germany and Spain, where the mainstream parties have sometimes organized membership ballots, especially at…

The Role of Party and Coalition Politics in Federal Reform
The article analyses the role of the German political parties as actors of federal change. Parties perceive federal processes through their own organizational lenses, giving priority to electoral logics, programmatic ideas or territorial interests. Each of the three reform steps in the German case was shaped by a specific blend of the three logics. Looking at the sequences of reform, the analysis shows that parties have remained central for organ…
Party Inertia amid Federal Change? Stability and Adaptation in German Parties
German parties have been characterised by strong vertical linkages between party levels, but recent changes in the German federal system and the territorialisation of the party system have posed severe challenges to this organisational model. This article looks at party responses from two different theoretical perspectives. Rational choice institutionalism would predict rapid adaptation to a new political environment resulting in a significant in…
Candidate Selection in Germany: Local and Regional Party Elites Still in Control
In comparative terms, the strong legal regulation of internal party processes is a specific feature of the German party democracy. Local and regional party conventions are the formal sites of decision making in selecting parliamentary candidates. The national party level is relatively excluded from the procedures. The article argues that the decentralization of intraparty competences has facilitated a gatekeeping role for local and regional party…
The Selection of Political Party Leaders in Contemporary Parliamentary Democracies: A Comparative Study
Party leaders in Germany are important political figures who preside over complex, multi-layered organisations. Parties are crucial players in running elections, organising parliaments and recruiting government personnel; their central role in the democratic process is constitutionally recognised in the German Basic Law. Yet, parties are also decisive in making cooperative federalism work. The German federal system is characterised by a strong de…
Der Wandel politischer Parteien in Westeuropa
The Rare Event of Choice: Party Primaries in German Land Parties
The selection of party leaders in Germany has traditionally been characterised by elite agreement behind closed doors. Most often, only one single candidate was presented to the conference delegates. Yet things have changed to some degree since the 1990s. First, most parties have introduced statutory reforms at the national level allowing for intra-party plebiscites. At the national level, this has basically remained paperwork. Second, and more i…
Multi-Level Party Politics in Western Europe
A study of territorial dynamics within party organizations in multi-layered systems. This book contributes to a new approach in party research which acknowledges the importance of multi-layered instit
Party Careers in Federal Systems. Vertical Linkages within Austrian, German, Canadian and Australian Parties
Political parties have a massive impact upon individual political careers. The article looks at the patterns of vertical career linkages in four federal systems. It finds strong differences in both quantity and quality of such patterns. The findings suggest that institutional settings matter but also distinct party trajectories
Party Cartel and Cartel Parties in Germany
Germany seems to be an ideal case for the cartel theory. Public funding for political parties is strongly advanced and there is much inter-party cooperation with respect to the organisational self-interests of parties. This contribution will take a closer look at the formation of the German party cartel and the three analytical dimensions of the cartel model. I will argue that in terms of party organisations, societal linkages and competitive sty…
Cartel Parties in Western Europe
In this article I discuss the empirical validity of the cartel thesis, and review three analytical dimensions of the concept: organizational change, functional change and change of party competition in Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. I use the empirical findings to elaborate the cartel party model, with three main results. First, in Denmark and Germany party cartels have developed in different ways; second, while the cartel …
Multi-Level Electoral Competition: The German Case
Symmetry has been a prominent feature of multilevel electoral competition in postwar Germany. However, regional parameters affecting the degree of symmetry have changed significantly over time. Looking at voting behaviour, coalition formation, party systems and party organizations, we distinguish three different phases: (a) an initial period (late 1940s to early 1960s) with a rather complex and uneven party system configuration; (b) the classical…
