Elite domination by design? Comparing the rules of the game within Parliamentary Party Groups
While there is a vibrant debate on decision-making and the degree of democracy within party organizations, scant attention has been paid to the power relations within the parties inside parliaments. This article remedies that neglect by providing the first comparative analysis of how Parliamentary Party Groups (PPGs) distribute decision-making authority. Focusing on their internal rules of procedure, we develop a multifaceted index to capture the…

Subsequently, we explore the ‘secret garden’ of preselection by drawing on interviews to examine whether intra-party compet…

In the face of the trend toward more participatory candidate nomination methods, studies increasingly focus on its consequences for the selection outcome. Yet, this literature has brought to light some inconsistent findings. They do not surprise given the complexity of selection decisions and the dependence of nomination results on who is running for a candidacy. Drawing on representative survey data collected before the 2017 Bundestag election, …
