title = {Interdisziplinär und praxisrelevant. Die Themen der Zeitschrift für Parlamentsfragen seit 1969},
year = {2018},
note = {This article is dedicated to capturing the wide array of topics ZParl
has been covering since its inception in 1969. ZParl’s mission has
always been to serve as a “mirror” for parliamentary research.
Four focal points came to the fore of our analysis: (1) Articles on
why forms of parliamentary practice immerge (context factors) are
followed by contributions on parliamentary functions and structures as
well as on members of parliament. (2) Both current and long-running
issues such as the analyses of political parties, of state parliament
elections as well as of parliament-related court judgments and rulings
are covered. (3) Concerning geographical priorities and parliamentary
levels, there is a focus on the Bundestag and on German state
parliaments. (4) The journal is interdisciplinary and the
parliamentary research published here is often linked to studies on
elections, political parties, federalism and legal issues. All in all
our analysis shows that ZParl has contributed to spreading relevant
findings on parliamentary research in all important areas and it also
points to areas where further studies are necessary.},
