A Man's World? The Descriptive Representation of Women Inside Europarties
Men are over‐represented in the majority of national political parties. This article makes a significant contribution to the analysis of women's representation inside ‘Europarties’ that operate at the European level. It draws on new data, including interviews with Europarties' representatives. We focus on women's representation in party leadership positions, including Spitzenkandidat:innen . We show that more women have become part of Europarties…

Germany as 'a country of integration'? The CDU/CSU's policies and discourses on immigration during Angela Merkel's Chancellorship
This article analyses the CDU/CSU’s immigration policies and discourses during the Chancellorship of Angela Merkel. In doing so, it makes four observations. First, the article highlights that the CDU/CSU became proactive when it came to passing new and far-reaching immigration and integration legislation. Second, it is argued that these policies have sent conflicting messages, torn between the opening and closing of Germany’s borders, and between…
Gendering European politics: A story of Progress and Backlash
In this review I discuss three important books on European gender politics. Two focus on the European Union (EU) and highlight the increasing feminisation of EU politics. More women have been elected/appointed and taken up leadership positions inside EU institutions, and gender equality legislation has made a positive difference to women. Still, gender equality remains, by and large, a female, and less prestigious domain. Also, Europe’s existing …
Interpreting toxic masculinity in political parties: A framework for analysis
The term ‘toxic masculinity’ (TM) was coined in the 1990s by sociologists and psychologists. It has since been appropriated by scholars and commentators interested in gendered behaviours, policies and outcomes in politics. However, despite the attention belatedly being paid to masculinities as part of that research, the analysis of, specifically, TM’s part in shaping political practices remains underdeveloped. This article proposes a move in this…
United in diversity? Europarties and their individual members’ rights
At a time when most national parties in Europe are losing members, parties at the European level, or Europarties, have introduced membership for individuals. This article is the first to investigate, compare, and explain the individual membership of Europarties. It focuses on the rights of the individual members to participate in the formulation of policies and the selection of leadership candidates. For this purpose, the article develops an inde…
Europhiles or Eurosceptics? Comparing the European policies of the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats
Is it always up to the leadership? European policy-making in the Labour Party, Parti Socialiste (PS) and Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD)
This article analyzes and compares the politics of European policy-making within the British Labour Party, the Parti Socialiste (PS) and the Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD) between 1997 and 2012. We know that party leaders have assumed much autonomy in the making of European policy, but, as with policy-making in any area, their autonomy is constrained and sometimes even questioned by other parts of the party. In order to establish h…
Germany's Strategic Narrative of the Eurozone Crisis
This article outlines how Germany has sought to project a strategic narrative of the Eurozone crisis. Germany has been placed center stage in the Eurozone crisis, and as a consequence, the German government's crisis narrative matters for the future of the common currency. We highlight how the German government has sought to narrate a story of the cause of the Eurozone crisis and present policy solutions to influence policy decisions within the EU…
The Importance of Being German: Narratives and Identities in the Berlin Republic
Anniversaries provide moments for taking stock. In the wake of the so-called Supergedenkjahr of 2014-the year of numerous significant commemorative events for Germany, including the fall of the Berlin Wall and of German unification-it seems particularly timely to engage with debates about what it means to be German. Such retrospection is now an established and widespread part of the German habitus, and the number of organized moments of contempla…
Are European Election Campaigns Europeanized? The Case of the Party of European Socialists in 2009
In the past, European election campaigns have been fought primarily at national level, organized and led by national parties. The European political parties had neither the financial nor the organizational means to lead pan-European election campaigns. The June 2009 elections, however, highlighted a different and potentially significant trend: new EU regulations provided for the direct financing of European political parties, allowing them to cam…
