note = {The concept of European elections as second-order national elections
serves as the basis fordeveloping seven hypotheses about the
orientations as well as the turnout and the electoralbehaviour at
European elections in comparison to national parliamentary elections.
After asummary of the situation before the election, these hypotheses
are empirically tested byanalysing the campaign and results of the
European election in Germany. The analysis byand large confirms the
hypotheses. In the third part of the article, the analysis is
extendedto all 28 member states of the European Union in brief. The
second-order election conceptproves to remain a good starting basis
for the analysis of European elections, although notevery hypothesis
is completely confirmed Europe-wide. [ZParl, vol. 45, no. 3, pp. 523
