  • Evaluation of German parties and coalitions by methods of the mathematical theory of democracy
    European Journal of Operational Research, 2010
    Co-Authors: Andranik Tangian
    Abstract:

    Abstract The paper continues author’s studies on applications of the mathematical theory of democracy. Five German leading parties and their coalitions are evaluated with indices of popularity and universality to show how well they represent the electorate. The evaluation goes beyond the information on election results and uses an operational representation of Party manifestos. It is shown that at the time of German parliamentary elections 2005 the most representative was the Social Democratic Party (SPD) which was however behind Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the best coalition could be the coalition SPD/Green/Left-Party which failed because of disagreement between Party leaders.

  • German Marxism and the Decline of the Permanent Revolution, 1870–1909
    History of European Ideas, 2012
    Co-Authors: Erik Van Ree
    Abstract:

    Summary This article discusses the development of German Social Democratic Party strategy in the fourth quarter of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth, as a result of the works of Friedrich Engels and Karl Kautsky. It ties the evolution of Marxist orthodoxy to the emergence of parliamentary democracy in different European societies. In particular, it discusses the way parliamentary conditions impacted on how the proletarian revolution was imagined. Revolution was newly defined as the establishment through parliamentary means of a new government representing a new Social class. Also, the early Marxist strategy of ‘permanent revolution’, which had allowed proletarian-Socialist minority rule, was abandoned.

  • ‘Breaking up is hard to do’: German trade unions within the Social Democratic Party
    Comparative European Politics, 2016
    Co-Authors: Wade Jacoby, Martin Behrens
    Abstract:

    Scholars have long conceptualized unions and left parties as powerful and independent Social actors within national systems of the political economy. Yet a unique survey of more than 2300 German Social Democratic Party (SPD) activists provides new insights into the relationship of two, in fact, deeply intertwined organizations. Factor analysis followed by multivariate regression of the survey results reveal two distinct dimensions of alienation that occur among Party activists as they evaluate trade unions. ‘Content alienation’ picks up on differences in political goals among unions and the SPD. Meanwhile, ‘contact alienation’ builds on scepticism about union inclination or capacity. Novel data establish the magnitude and distribution of these two forms of alienation as measured by individual-level attitudes, which, in turn, have implications for debates on comparative political economy, political parties and corporatism. They suggest also sources of resilience and stability in German capitalism, notwithstanding important levels of alienation inside the Party over trade union goals and methods.
