Abstract

Ina E. Bieber’s dissertation examines the influencing factors of women’s successful candidacies for the German parliament. Using longitudinal and cress-section data, Bieber analyzes micro level factors such as individual characteristics and dispositions as well as macro level factors such as party and electoral system influences. Above all the latter ones have a significant impact on the women’s chance of being elected. The sex, however, is not a significant factor for the successful election into the parliament – for women, above all the affiliation with parties from the left-wing spectrum and candidacies on party lists yield greater chances of contesting successfully. Regarding the individual factors, expected gender specific effects, for example, through marital status etc., did not emerge.
