The German Energiewende and the role of the EU
How to (Not) Implement a ‘Complementary Coalition’? Lessons from the First Green–Black Government in Baden-Württemberg 2016–2021
Low fare public transport as social policy? A study of Germany’s 9-Euro-Ticket and Deutschlandticket via propensity score matching
This study uses Propensity Score Matching (PSM) to evaluate the impact of two public transportation fare innovations in Germany—the 9-Euro-Ticket and the Deutschlandticket ( 49-Euro-Ticket )—on travel behavior and related outcomes focusing on economically marginalized individuals. Both tickets have drastically reduced the complexity of the fare system in Germany and lowered the cost of public transportation, in the case of the 9-Euro-Ticket , to …
Multilevel governance of energy transitions in Europe
Concerns about energy transition and policies to achieve a clean energy Europe are omnipresent in all European discourses. A transformation dynamic has captured all European states, whereby the extent, scope, and direction of this transition vary between different (EU member‐) states and political levels (European, national, federal, local). Likewise, governance dynamics and policies vary between the different European governance and regulatory s…
Sustainability challenges of artificial intelligence and Citizens' regulatory preferences
Following the idea that citizens' regulatory preferences matter for the acceptance and success of policy measures, this paper investigates citizens' support for the regulation of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The focus lies on the transparency and the ecological sustainability of AI as two key challenges tied to possible long-term impacts on societies. Findings from survey data representative of the German population show overall moderate to stro…
Introduction to the Special Issue
The article introduces the special issue on 'The First Year of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Germany'. Besides a brief description and analysis of COVID-19 management in Germany in the first year of the pandemic from an international comparative perspective, it provides insight into the question of how the COVID-19 Pandemic was analysed in political science research. Finally, it gives an overview of the contributions of the special issue that focus on…
Large-Scale and Green? The German Covid-19 Stimulus Package in International Comparison
The Covid-19 pandemic is a major global crisis the impact of which is likely to exceed the upheavals caused by the last financial and economic crisis of 2008/2009. Germany as an export-oriented economy faces tremendous economic threats in the aftermath of the pandemic such as the collapse of global supply chains, the lockdown of economic sectors and impending job losses. As a reaction, the German government adopted, much as in the previous financ…
Consumers are willing to pay a price for explainable, but not for green AI. Evidence from a choice-based conjoint analysis
A major challenge with the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications is to manage the long-term societal impacts of this technology. Two central concerns that have emerged in this respect are that the optimized goals behind the data processing of AI applications usually remain opaque and the energy footprint of their data processing is growing quickly. This study thus explores how much people value the transparency and environme…
Role of the state and responsibility in governing artificial intelligence
Technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) represent a crucial governance challenge for policymakers. This study contributes to the understanding of how states plan to govern AI with respect to the role they assume and to the way they develop AI in a responsible manner. In different policy instruments across 22 countries plus the European Union, there is considerable variation in how governments approach the governance of AI, both regardi…
Responsive Politikgestaltung in den deutschen Bundesländern? Versuch einer Systematisierung und Konzeption eines Forschungsprogramms
Die politikwissenschaftliche Literatur zum deutschen Föderalismus ist überaus vielfältig. Neben Analysen der institutionellen Arrangements, ihrer Veränderungen sowie der Dynamiken des deutschen Verbundföderalismus, finden sich auch zahlreiche Untersuchungen zu einzelnen Politikfeldern, die sowohl die Interaktionen zwischen Bund und Ländern als auch die Varianz zwischen den Policies der Länder samt ihrer Bestimmungsfaktoren untersuchen. Darüber hi…
Energiewende in Zeiten des Populismus
The European Natural Gas Market Reforms Revisited
The article addresses the question of how successful the European natural gas reforms of 1998, 2003, and 2009 have been in terms of increasing competition in the sector. We argue that regulatory provisions are policy output variables, which as such do not affect competition directly. However, successful reforms can have an impact on the market structure, which might lead to increased competition and price reductions. Thus, it is pivotal to differ…

Volk oder Parlament
Dieser Artikel beschäftigt sich am Beispiel der halbdirekten Demokratie der Schweiz mit der Frage, wie sehr Stimmbevölkerung und Parlament dazu neigen, sich bei Abstimmungen über inter‐ und intragenerationelle Nachhaltigkeitsbelange für die zukunftsverantwortlichere Variante zu entscheiden. Die vergleichende empirische Analyse von 109 nachhaltigkeitsrelevanten Abstimmungsvorlagen, die gleichermaßen der Schweizer Stimmbevölkerung und dem Schweizer…
Performance and persistence of autocracies in comparison
Authoritarianism research has evolved into one of the fastest growing areas in comparative politics and political economy. However, the newly awakened interest in autocratic regimes goes hand in hand with a lack of systematic research on the results of the political and substantive policy performance of variants of autocratic regimes. In this article we introduce the individual contributions to this special issue and summarize their findings with…
Comparing ecological sustainability in autocracies and democracies
Considering the ecological sustainability performance of different political regimes, it seems questionable whether the assumption of the general superiority of democracy can be maintained in this policy field. This paper compares the performance of democracies and autocracies (and their institutional subtypes) with regard to weak and strong ecological sustainability targets, on the one hand, while also analysing the impact of democracy and autoc…

A Comparison of West German and Guestworker Parent's Childrearing Attitudes and Expectations
Dependent children of West Germanys nearly 5 million guestworkers lack legal rights to education many do not attend classes and less than 1% graduate from an academic high school. Related delinquency and social unrest among guestworkers children has led to increased government interest in public education programs for these minority groups. In an effort to analyze differences in parenting attitudes and expectations among the guestworker minority …
Childrearing Attitude Assessment as a Prelude to Integrating Foreign Families

Child-rearing expectations of families with atypical children
The child-rearing expectations of 101 Australian parents of intellectually handicapped children were assessed, using the Parent As A Teacher Inventory. The overall PAAT index for subjects scoring at either the upper or lower extremes proved to be valuable in identifying those parents who would be the most and least successful teachers in a home-based language training program
