  • Quotas Unhinged? How the Change to Preferential Voting Impacts Women’s Representation in Two German Länder

    Open Access•Petra Ahrens, Sabine Lang•ARTICLE•Political Studies•2026•References: 29

    Proportional electoral systems, especially when coupled with voluntary party or legislative gender quotas, have been considered beneficial for advancing women’s representation. Extant research on preferential voting in proportional systems, however, yields conflicting evidence. We focus on recent electoral reforms in two German Länder, Hamburg and Bremen, that converted their proportional system from closed to open party lists with preferential v…

    Provenance research studies the origin and ownership history of objects including the conditions under which a change in ownership took place. In order to reconstruct the provenance of objects, provenance researchers utilise sources such as archival records, literature and online databases as well as examining the object itself. One essential online database for researchers is German Sales, which contains digitised auction catalogues from mostly …

  • Have Your Say’ in practice: Assessing citizens’ use of the EU’s public consultation platform

    Open Access•Rico Neumann, Sabine Lang et al.•ARTICLE•European Politics and Society•2025•References: 21

    Article 11 of the Treaty on European Union stipulates that the Commission shall consult citizens and civil society. The breadth, frequency, and user-friendliness of consultations have increased considerably since the Lisbon Treaty of 2007 and Better Regulation Agenda of 2015. This study examines the extent to which individual citizens in member states use the consultation process; the policy areas in which they are predominantly active; and the d…

  • Angela Merkel and the CDU Quota Curse

    Open Access•Petra Ahrens, Sabine Lang•ARTICLE•German Politics•2022•Cited by: 2•References: 17

    During the 2019 centennial celebration of women’s suffrage in Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel conceded that gender quotas are important and that the ultimate goal must be gender parity. Merkel’s legacy in terms of advancing women within her own party, however, is mixed. Surrounding herself with a tight circle of women professionals and arguably modelling success for fellow women party members, she nonetheless remained noncommittal on parity. He…

  • Leading from Behind? Gender Equality in Germany During the Merkel Era

    Petra Ahrens, Phillip M Ayoub et al.•ARTICLE•German Politics•2022•Cited by: 13•References: 32

    Whilst maintaining its status as an economic engine in Europe, Germany has historically been a laggard in adopting gender equality measures. The European Gender Equality Index, however, now ranks Germany relatively high and shows substantial progress since 2005. While this has gone mostly unnoticed, Germany has passed far-reaching legislation in major policy fields relevant for gender equality. This expansive policy adoption occurred during the c…

  • Financing Gender Equality: Budgets for Women’s Policies in German and Austrian Länder

    State budgets reflect political priorities, providing a measure of issue relevance over time and comparatively across states. This article offers the first analysis of Länder budgets for women's policy agencies (WPA) in Germany and Austria between 1991 and 2018. Comparing Länder WPA budgets provides insights into material allocations to, and the conditionality of, gender politics in Germany's strongly federalized state and Austria's weak federati…

  • Native American men-women, lesbians, two-spirits: Contemporary and historical perspectives

    Sabine Lang•ARTICLE•Journal of Lesbian Studies•2016•Cited by: 5•References: 23

    People living in the role of the "other" sex in Native American cultures, often entering into same-sex relationships, have been subject to various anthropological, historical, and psychological analyses and interpretations. Most recently, there has been a shift to an indigenist/decolonial interdisciplinary focus on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Native people. This article gives a discussion of approaches to the subject, with a fo…

  • Does Federalism Impact Gender Architectures? The Case of Women's Policy Agencies in Germany and Austria

    Sabine Lang, Birgit Sauer•ARTICLE•Publius The Journal of Federalism•2013•Cited by: 1•References: 16

    This article investigates how strong German and weak Austrian cooperative federalism affect women’s policy machineries. We find that it is the federal organization of both polities that has posited engrained advantages for the establishment and the sustainability of women’s policy agencies (WPA). We also find that center/left parties are crucial for sustaining and advancing the role of WPA. However, during economic crises, we see that the women’s…

    Germany has created one of the world's largest women's policy infrastructures. But the scope as well as the effect of institutionalising women's policy agencies is contested. Even committed proponents of gender equality note the agencies' limited influence in important policy arenas. Critics of institutionalisation have used the fiscal crisis of the past decade to push efforts to downsize or diversify the mission of women's policy agencies. Build…

    When Myra Marx Ferree assessed the conditions of German state feminism in 1995, she employed the metaphor of the 'half-full or half-empty glass' to analyse the mixed success of the women's equality machinery (Ferree, 1995). Positive effects included the institutionalization of communication venues between the autonomous feminist movement and femocrats and the power of the women's offices to keep gender issues on the political agenda, leading to s…
