title = {Die AfD in den Parlamenten der Länder, des Bundes und der EU. Bipolarität im Selbstverständnis und im Verhalten},
year = {2018},
note = {The “Alternative für Deutschland” (AfD) is now represented in all
16 German state parliaments, the Bundestag and the European
Parliament. In the European Parliament, the ideological and personal
conflicts of the federal AfD have led to the split-off of the biggest
part of the AfD-group and eventually to the total marginalization of
the party’s influence. In many of the state parliaments conflicts
between representatives of the national-conservative and the
folkish-nationalistic wing exist, which lead to withdrawals,
exclusions, changeovers or the break-up of the parliamentary party.
The ideological bipolarity has also led to different strategic
orientations and is either parliamentary-oriented or
movement-oriented. This complicates the reactions of the other
parliamentary parties, which include ignorance, exclusion, political
contention and even temporal cooperation. These developments can also
be found in the federal parliament and there are first indications
that the two different strategic orientations and the other
parliamentary parties are beginning to change their reactions from
initial exclusion strategies and moral indignation to political
contention.},
