Claus Offe and the Critical Theory of the Capitalist State
Back in 1972, German political sociologist Claus Offe published a book on the Structural Problems of Late Capitalism which, for almost two decades, inspired and stimulated an international and transdisciplinary debate on the role of the state in contemporary capitalism. An academic debate which, paradoxically, began to wane as the issues about which Offe had been writing became even more prominent: the "Contradictions of the Welfare State" (the t…

Institutional Order and Career Patterns
This article tries to sum up the findings of the country articles and put them into a comparative perspective. The major finding is one of great diversity among prevailing career patterns in multi-level polities. This in itself is considered an advance over frequent assumptions about career patterns based on the US case alone. Looking for causal explanations the article discards some institutional hypotheses. It therefore calls for more empirical…
Introduction
Political careers in modern democracies have been affected by important territorial reorganisations of the political system. In the newly emerging multi-level systems long-established career patterns are dissolving and new patterns are emerging. For a number of reasons these changes have not yet been adequately mapped and explained. In this introduction we are arguing for a dynamic, careers oriented approach to supersede the traditional instituti…
German Political Careers
This article looks at political career patterns in Germany with a focus on the state level. After all, state legislators are a far more representative group of professional politicians in Germany than members of the federal parliament. Furthermore, by looking at pathways to the state legislatures, strategies to remain there (including office accumulation) and options of career advancement from a state mandate to other positions the authors substi…
Individual Ambition and Institutional Opportunity
The article develops a conceptual framework for the analysis of political careers in multi-level systems. Political careers are seen as being shaped by the interplay of individual ambition and the institutional structure of opportunities. Under the conditions of political professionalism, career decisions are made comparing the costs and benefits of attaining the various offices given in a certain polity. I argue that the availability, accessibil…
Democratic Elitism
Joseph Schumpeter's “competitive theory of democracy” – often labeled democratic elitism - has struck many as an apt and insightful description of how representative democracy works, even though convinced democrats detect an elitist thrust they find disturbing. But neither Schumpeter nor subsequent defenders of democratic elitism have paid enough attention to actual behaviors of leaders and elites. Attention has been riveted on how adequately dem…
They Ain't Making Elites Like They Used To
This article identifies three central tenets of democratic elitism as developed by various authors. It then traces the fate of these ideas within democratic theory. Surprisingly, I find almost universal, if unacknowledged, acceptance of democratic elitism's principles in contemporary theories of democracy. In the public, however, there is still a strong yearning for a democracy that is closer to the ideal and more open to public participation. Th…
From Politik als Beruf to Politics as a Vocation
Max Weber's 1919 lecture Politik als Beruf is still considered a classical text in the social sciences. The reception of the text in the Anglo-Saxon world has been profoundly shaped by the translation provided by Hans H. Gerth and C. Wright Mills, first appearing in 1946. Their Politics as a Vocation is more than a vivid transposition of Weber's rather peculiar German rhetoric-it is rendered in a way that suggests a certain interpretation and mak…
Germany
The Political Class in Advanced Democracies
Professional politicians have increasingly come under public attack in most democratic countries, yet they have received surprisingly little systematic attention in political science. This is the first comprehensive overview of professional politicians in democratic countries.\par This book demonstrates that there are both striking similarities between professional politicians in different countries and notable national peculiarities. The introdu…

Einleitung
Das Bild drückte die ganze Bandbreite sozialdemokratischer Erfahrungen und Erwartungen am Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts aus. Beim Labour-Parteitag in Brighton saßen Tony Blair und Rudolf Scharping Seite an Seite auf dem Podium, zwei Führer großer, traditionsreicher sozialdemokratischer Parteien, die nun schon über ein Jahrzehnt die harten Oppositionsbänke drücken. Und dennoch ist ein größerer Gegensatz kaum vorstellbar: Blair, strahlender und unumstr…
Alte Träume und neue Realitäten
„Erstens soll der Staat demokratisiert werden; zweitens soll alsdann von dem demokratisierten Staate die ‘Staatshilfe’ erlangt werden.“ — Als der Lassalleaner Johann Baptist von Schweitzer diesen Satz 1868 als sozialdemokratische Strategie formulierte2, war er seiner Zeit noch weit voraus. Erst als die Führer der deutschen Sozialdemokraten gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts langsam erkannten, daß ihnen die Macht auf dem Weg über Wahlen zufallen könn…

Welfare‐state retrenchment
An analysis of welfare‐state restructuring under conservative governments during the 1980s undermines the notion that the nation‐state is being rendered obsolete by economic globalization. The nation‐state is still the principal site of political conflict. Yet this conflict has to be analyzed in light of global economic and cultural pressures. Conservative attempts to restructure the welfare state were parallel events within a larger transition i…
