Eingangs wird die Entwicklung des Verbots der rassischen Diskriminierung im internationalen und nationalen Recht dargelegt. Folglich zeichnet die Verfasserin die Diskriminierungsgeschichte von Schwarzen Menschen nach. Zur Überwindung der nach wie vor bestehenden strukturellen Diskriminierung schlägt sie ein positives Recht vor, das sich auf Menschenrechtsstandards und Lösungsansätzen aus Rechtsvergleichen stützt und die Gleichberechtigung von Schwarzen Menschen bewirken soll. N2 - This work shows how historically and legally inequality between blacks and whites has grown in Germany and explores the question of what requirements constitutional law, legal practice and politics must fulfill in order to balance it out. It begins by outlining the development of the prohibition of racial discrimination in international and national law. The author then traces the history of discrimination against Black people. In order to overcome the structural discrimination that still exists, she proposes a positive law based on human rights standards and comparative law approaches to achieve equality for Black people.

Im Mittelpunkt stehen Verflechtungsstrukturen, Koordination und Leistungsfähigkeit der Integrationsverwaltung mit besonderem Fokus auf den Entwicklungen nach der Flüchtlingskrise von 2015/16. Auf der Grundlage von Fallstudien und Experteninterviews in den drei Ländern wird das institutionelle Zusammenspiel von Akteuren im Mehrebenensystem und im lokalen Raum analysiert. Dabei werden jeweils die nationalen Rahmenbedingungen, lokalen Gestaltungsvarianten und krisenbedingten Herausforderungen des Integrationsmanagement kommunen- und ländervergleichend in den Blick genommen.

N2 - This study analyses local integration management in Germany, France and Sweden from a comparative perspective. It focuses on the inter-administrative relations, coordination and performance of integration management, with a particular focus on developments after the refugee crisis of 2015/16. Based on case studies and expert interviews in the aforementioned three countries, it analyses the institutional interplay between actors in both the multi-level system and the local sphere. The authors examine the national contexts, local institutional settings and crisis-related challenges of integration management performance in the three countries, taking similarities and differences from a cross-country and inter-municipal com-parative perspective into account. Using illustrative examples from practice and deriving lessons from in-depth insights into local problem-solving, the study makes recommendations for the optimisation of integration management and more crisis-resilient administrative organisation in this policy area.

T1 - From Weberian bureaucracy to digital government? BT - trajectories of administrative reform in Germany T2 - Handbook of public administration reform N2 - Over the past decades, the traditional profile of the German administrative system has significantly been reshaped and remoulded through reforms and transformations. Manifold modernization efforts have been undertaken to adjust administrative structures and procedures to increasing challenges and pressures. In this chapter, the attempt is made to outline major institutional reform paths in Germany from Weberian bureaucracy to most recent reforms towards a digital transformation of public administration. We will show to what extent the German administrative system has moved away from the classical Weberian bureaucracy to a hybrid system where elements of the ‘old’ model and new reform paradigms such as the NPM and digital government are hybridized, labelled the Neo Weberian State. The question will be addressed as to what extent this shift has taken shape and which hurdles and path-dependencies can be identified to explain partial persistence and continuity over time.

Individuals living in single-parent households were particularly at risk, revealing detrimental labour market outcomes and assessments of future perspectives marked by worries. As it has not been investigated yet, in this paper we study, how their perception about the future and their outlook on how the pandemic will affect them is related to their objective economic resources. Against this background, we examine the subjective risk perception of worsening living standards of individuals living in single-parent households compared to other household types, their objective economic situation based on the logarithmised equivalised disposable household incomes and analyse the relationship between those indicators. Using the German SOEP, including the SOEP-CoV survey from 2020, our findings based on regression modelling reveal that individuals living in single-parent households have been worse off during the pandemic, facing high economic insecurity. Path and interaction models support our assumption that the association between those indicators may not be that straightforward, as there are underlying mechanisms–such as mediation and moderation–of income affecting its direction and strength. With respect to our central hypotheses, our empirical findings point toward (1) a mediation effect, by demonstrating that the subjective risk perception of single-parent households can be partly explained by economic conditions. (2) The moderating effect suggests that the concrete position at the income distribution of households matters as well. While at the lower end of the income distribution, single-parent households reveal particularly worse risk perceptions during the pandemic, at the high end of the income spectrum, risk perceptions are similar for all household types. Thus, individuals living in single-parent households do not perceive higher risks of worsening living standards due to their household situation per se, but rather because they are worse off in terms of their economic situation compared to individuals living in other household types.

While these are mostly academic, the academisation of nursing in Germany has only just begun. This allows for a broader look at the participation of migrant nurses: How do care teams deal with the fact that immigrant colleagues are theoretically more highly qualified than long-established colleagues? Methods: Case studies were conducted in four inpatient care teams of two hospitals in 2022. Qualitative data include 26 observation protocols, 4 group discussions and 17 guided interviews. These were analysed using the documentary method and validated intersubjectively. Results: Due to current academisation efforts in Germany and the immigration of academised nursing staff from abroad, the areas of activity and responsibility of nursing in Germany are under negotiating pressure. This concerns basic care for example, which in Germany is provided by skilled workers, but in other countries is mostly provided by assistants or relatives. The question of who should provide basic care, whether all nurses or only nursing assistants, documents the struggle between an established and a new understanding of care. In this context, the knowledge and skills of migrant and academicised care workers become a crucial aspect in the struggle for a new professional identity for care in Germany. Conclusions: The specific situation in Germany makes it possible to show the potential for change that international care migration can constitute for destination countries. The far-reaching process of change of German nursing is given a further dimension not only by its academization, but by the immigration of international and academically trained nursing staff, where inclusive or exclusive effects can already be observed. Key messages: The increasing proportion of migrant nurses accelerates the current discussion on nursing in Germany. Conflict areas show up in everyday work of care teams and must be addressed there.

All tweets with the keyword “Flüchtlinge” posted for a monthlong period following September 13, 2015, the day Germany decided to implement border controls, were collected (N = 763,752). The top 2,495 tweets according to number of retweets were selected for analysis. Differences between news media, public and private actor tweets in topics, tweet characteristics such as tone and opinion expression, links, and specific sentiments toward refugees were analyzed. We found strong differences between the tweets. Public actor tweets were the main source of positive sentiment toward refugees and the main information source on refugee support. News media tweets mostly reflected traditional journalistic norms of impartiality and objectivity, whereas private actor tweets were more diverse in sentiments toward refugees.

ER - TY - THES A1 - Eckert, Silvia T1 - Trait variation in changing environments: Assessing the role of DNA methylation in non-native plant species T1 - Merkmalsvariation in sich verändernden Umgebungen: Bewertung der Rolle der DNA-Methylierung bei nicht einheimischen Pflanzenarten N2 - The increasing introduction of non-native plant species may pose a threat to local biodiversity. However, the basis of successful plant invasion is not conclusively understood, especially since these plant species can adapt to the new range within a short period of time despite impoverished genetic diversity of the starting populations. In this context, DNA methylation is considered promising to explain successful adaptation mechanisms in the new habitat. DNA methylation is a heritable variation in gene expression without changing the underlying genetic information. Thus, DNA methylation is considered a so-called epigenetic mechanism, but has been studied in mainly clonally reproducing plant species or genetic model plants. An understanding of this epigenetic mechanism in the context of non-native, predominantly sexually reproducing plant species might help to expand knowledge in biodiversity research on the interaction between plants and their habitats and, based on this, may enable more precise measures in conservation biology. For my studies, I combined chemical DNA demethylation of field-collected seed material from predominantly sexually reproducing species and rearing offsping under common climatic conditions to examine DNA methylation in an ecological-evolutionary context. The contrast of chemically treated (demethylated) plants, whose variation in DNA methylation was artificially reduced, and untreated control plants of the same species allowed me to study the impact of this mechanism on adaptive trait differentiation and local adaptation. With this experimental background, I conducted three studies examining the effect of DNA methylation in non-native species along a climatic gradient and also between climatically divergent regions. The first study focused on adaptive trait differentiation in two invasive perennial goldenrod species, Solidago canadensis sensu latu and S. gigantea AITON, along a climate gradient of more than 1000 km in length in Central Europe. I found population differences in flowering timing, plant height, and biomass in the temporally longer-established S. canadensis, but only in the number of regrowing shoots for S. gigantea. While S. canadensis did not show any population structure, I was able to identify three genetic groups along this climatic gradient in S. gigantea. Surprisingly, demethylated plants of both species showed no change in the majority of traits studied. In the subsequent second study, I focused on the longer-established goldenrod species S. canadensis and used molecular analyses to infer spatial epigenetic and genetic population differences in the same specimens from the previous study. I found weak genetic but no epigenetic spatial variation between populations. Additionally, I was able to identify one genetic marker and one epigenetic marker putatively susceptible to selection. However, the results of this study reconfirmed that the epigenetic mechanism of DNA methylation appears to be hardly involved in adaptive processes within the new range in S. canadensis. Finally, I conducted a third study in which I reciprocally transplanted short-lived plant species between two climatically divergent regions in Germany to investigate local adaptation at the plant family level. For this purpose, I used four plant families (Amaranthaceae, Asteraceae, Plantaginaceae, Solanaceae) and here I additionally compared between non-native and native plant species. Seeds were transplanted to regions with a distance of more than 600 kilometers and had either a temperate-oceanic or a temperate-continental climate. In this study, some species were found to be maladapted to their own local conditions, both in non-native and native plant species alike. In demethylated individuals of the plant species studied, DNA methylation had inconsistent but species-specific effects on survival and biomass production. The results of this study highlight that DNA methylation did not make a substantial contribution to local adaptation in the non-native as well as native species studied. In summary, my work showed that DNA methylation plays a negligible role in both adaptive trait variation along climatic gradients and local adaptation in non-native plant species that either exhibit a high degree of genetic variation or rely mainly on sexual reproduction with low clonal propagation. I was able to show that the adaptive success of these non-native plant species can hardly be explained by DNA methylation, but could be a possible consequence of multiple introductions, dispersal corridors and meta-population dynamics. Similarly, my results illustrate that the use of plant species that do not predominantly reproduce clonally and are not model plants is essential to characterize the effect size of epigenetic mechanisms in an ecological-evolutionary context. N2 - Die zunehmende Eintragung nicht-heimischer Pflanzenarten kann eine Gefahr für die lokale Artenvielfalt darstellen. Die Grundlagen einer erfolgreichen pflanzlichen Ausbreitung sind jedoch nicht abschließend geklärt, zumal sich diese Arten innerhalb kurzer Zeit an das neue Verbreitungsgebiet anpassen können trotz anfänglich reduzierter genetischer Vielfalt der Startpopulationen. In diesem Kontext gilt DNA-Methylierung als vielversprechend, um erfolgreiche Anpassungsmechanismen im neuen Lebensraum zu erklären. Bei der DNA-Methylierung handelt es sich um eine vererbbare Variation der Genaktivität, ohne dass die zugrundeliegende genetische Erbinformation verändert wird. Damit gehört DNA-Methylierung zu den sogenannten epigenetischen Mechanismen, wurde jedoch vorwiegend bei sich klonal vermehrenden Pflanzenarten oder genetischen Modellpflanzen untersucht. Ein Verständnis dieses epigenetischen Mechanismus im Zusammenhang mit nicht-einheimischen, sich vorwiegend sexuell reproduzierenden Pflanzenarten erweitert das Wissen in der Biodiversitätsforschung zur Interaktion zwischen Pflanzen und ihrem Lebensraum und kann, darauf aufbauend, präzisere Maßnahmen in der Naturschutzbiologie ermöglichen. Für meine Studien kombinierte ich die chemische DNA-Demethylierung von im Freiland gesammeltem Samenmaterial sich vorwiegend sexuell fortpflanzender Arten und die Aufzucht unter gemeinsamen klimatischen Bedingungen, um DNA-Methylierung im ökologisch-evolutionären Kontext zu untersuchen. Der Kontrast von chemisch behandelten (demethylierten) Pflanzen, deren Methylierungsvariation nun künstlich verringert war, und unbehandelten Kontrollpflanzen derselben Art ermöglichte mir die Auswirkung dieses Mechanismus auf adaptive Merkmalsvariationen und lokale Anpassung zu studieren. Vor diesem experimentellen Hintergrund führte ich drei Studien durch, um die Auswirkung von DNA-Methylierung bei nicht-einheimischen Pflanzenarten entlang eines klimatischen Gradienten und zwischen zwei klimatisch unterschiedlichen Regionen zu untersuchen. Die erste Studie konzentrierte sich auf adaptive Merkmalsveränderungen bei Nachkommen von zwei invasiven, mehrjährigen Goldrutenarten, Solidago canadensis sensu latu und S. gigantea AITON, entlang eines Klimagradienten von mehr als 1000 km Länge in Zentraleuropa. Ich fand graduelle Unterschiede im Blühzeitpunkt, in der Pflanzenhöhe und der Biomasse bei der zeitlich länger etablierten S. canadensis, bei S. gigantea jedoch nur in der Anzahl der nachwachsenden Triebe. Während S. canadensis keinerlei Populationsstruktur aufwies, konnte ich bei S. gigantea drei genetische Gruppen entlang dieses Klimagradienten identifizieren. Überraschenderweise zeigten demethylierte Pflanzen beider Arten keine Veränderung in der überwiegenden Anzahl der untersuchten Merkmale. In der darauffolgenden zweiten Studie konzentrierte ich mich auf die länger etablierte Goldrutenart S. canadensis und verwendete molekulare Analysen, um räumliche epigenetische und genetische Populationunterschiede aus den Exemplaren der vorhergehenden Studie abzuleiten. Ich fand schwache genetische aber keine epigenetische räumliche Variation zwischen den Populationen. Zusätzlich konnte ich einen genetischen und einen epigenetischen Marker identifizieren, welcher potentiell unter Selektion stehen könnte. Allerdings bestätigten die Ergebnisse dieser Studie erneut, dass DNA-Methylierung bei S. canadensis kaum in die Anpassung an das neue Verbreitungsgebiet involviert zu sein scheint. Schließlich führte ich eine dritte Studie durch, in welcher ich Samen kurzlebiger Pflanzenarten reziprok zwischen zwei klimatisch unterschiedlichen Regionen in Deutschland transplantierte, um lokale Anpassung auf Ebene der Pflanzenfamilien zu untersuchen. Zu diesem Zweck nutze ich vier Pflanzenfamilien (Amaranthaceae, Asteraceae, Plantaginaceae, Solanaceae), wobei ich hier auch zwischen nicht-heimischen und heimischen Pflanzenarten verglich. Beide Regionen lagen mehr als 600 Kilometer voneinander entfernt und wiesen entweder ein gemäßigt-ozeanisches oder gemäßigt-kontinentales Klima auf. In dieser Studie zeigte sich für einige—sowohl nicht-einheimische als auch einhimische—Arten eine Fehlanpassung an die eigenen lokalen Bedingungen. In demethylierten Individuen der untersuchten Pflanzenarten wirkte sich die DNA-Methylierung widersprüchlich, aber artspezifisch auf das Überleben und die Biomasseproduktion aus. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studie unterstreichen, dass DNA-Methylierung einen vernachlässigbaren Beitrag zur lokalen Anpassung bei den untersuchten nicht-heimischen, aber auch einheimischen Arten leistete. Zusammenfassend konnte ich mit dieser Arbeit festellen, dass DNA-Methylierung bei nicht-einheimischen Pflanzenarten eine untergeordnete Rolle sowohl bei der adaptiven Merkmalsvariation entlang von Klimagradienten als auch der lokalen Anpassung an klimatisch unterschiedliche Regionen spielt, wenn diese Pflanzenarten eine hohe genetische Vielfalt aufweisen und sich hauptsächlich sexuell vermehren. Ich konnte zeigen, dass der Anpassungserfolg dieser nicht-einheimischen Pflanzenarten kaum durch DNA-Methylierung erklärbar ist, sondern vielmehr eine mögliche Folge mehrfacher Eintragungen, von Ausbreitungskorridoren und Meta-Populationsdynamiken sein könnte. Die Ergebnisse dieser Studien verdeutlichen ebenso, dass die Verwendung von Pflanzenarten, die sich nicht überwiegend klonal vermehren und keine genetischen Modellpflanzen sind, unerlässlich ist, um die Effektstärke epigenetischer Mechanismen im ökologisch-evolutionären Kontext zu charakterisieren.

Dabei erweist sich die französische Verwaltungsgerichtsordnung aus rechtsvergleichender Sicht als progressiv, da das Verfahrensinstrument hier – im Gegensatz zur deutschen Rechtslage – bereits positiv-rechtlich normiert ist. Diese Fortschrittlichkeit hat sich bisher jedoch nicht merklich auf die Drittinterventionspraxis niedergeschlagen, besitzen Amicus Curiae-Stellungnahmen doch in beiden Ländern und über alle verwaltungsgerichtlichen Instanzen hinweg noch immer Seltenheitswert. Da mithin keine Generalisierungen zur dieser Rechtspraxis erlaubt sind, kann sich eine Analyse der möglichen funktionalen Rolle derartiger Amicus Curiae-Stellungnahmen nur auf theoretische Überlegungen stützen. Danach ist eine Informationsfunktion gegenüber dem Gericht in Bezug auf Tatsachen- und Rechtsfragen klar zu bejahen. Auch dürfte der Verfahrensmechanismus ein zusätzliches – wenngleich nicht demokratisches – Legitimationspotential für gerichtliche Entscheidungen besitzen: Indem dieser gesellschaftliche Teilhabe und damit gleichzeitig die Einbettung verwaltungsgerichtlicher Verfahren in den jeweiligen sozialen Kontext ermöglicht, kann er zur Steigerung der gesellschaftlichen Akzeptanz der zunehmend unter Rechtsfertigungsdruck geratenden Richtermacht beitragen. N2 - Ces dernières années, le concept de l’amicus curiae, qui puise ses racines dans le droit anglo-américain, a fait son entrée dans la juridiction administrative tant en Allemagne qu’en France, bien que sous des formes différentes. Du point de vue du droit comparé, le système judiciaire administratif français est relativement progressif à cet égard, car cet instrument procédural y est déjà codifié – contrairement à la situation juridique allemande. Toutefois, cette progressivité n'a pas eu jusqu'à présent d'effet notable sur la pratique procédurale, car l’application du concept d’amicus curiae demeure relativement rare dans l’ensemble des instances des juridictions administratives des deux pays. En conséquence, dans la mesure où une généralisation par rapport à cette pratique juridique n'est donc pas possible, la question de savoir quel est le rôle fonctionnel potentiel d’amici curiae ne peut être analysée que sur le plan théorique. Sur cette base, on peut affirmer clairement un rôle d'information vis-à-vis du tribunal par rapport aux questions de fait et de droit. En outre, ce mécanisme procédural semble avoir une capacité de légitimation supplémentaire du pouvoir judiciaire, bien qu’il ne s’agisse pas d’une légitimation démocratique : en permettant une participation sociale, et en reliant ainsi les procédures devant les juridictions administratives à leur contexte social respectif, l’amicus curiae contribue à augmenter l’adhésion sociale au pouvoir judiciaire, qui est de plus en plus contraint de s’auto-justifier vis-à-vis des justiciables. N2 - In recent years, the amicus curiae, which has its roots in Anglo-American law, has found its way into the administrative court systems in Germany and France, albeit in different forms. From a comparative law perspective, the French administrative court system proves to be progressive, since the procedural instrument of amicus curiae is already legally standardized here - in contrast to the German legal situation. However, this progressiveness has not yet had a noticeable impact on third-party intervention practice, given that amicus curiae briefs are still a rarity across all administrative court instances in both countries. Since no generalizations about this legal practice are hence permitted, an analysis of the possible functional role of such amicus curiae briefs can only be based on theoretical considerations. According to these considerations, an informational function vis-à-vis the court with respect to questions of fact and law can clearly be affirmed. The procedural mechanism of amicus curiae intervention is also likely to have an additional - albeit non-democratic - legitimizing potential for judicial decisions: By enabling social participation and thus at the same time embedding administrative court proceedings in the respective social context, it can contribute to enhanced social acceptance of the power of judges, which is under increasing pressure to justify itself.

Recent studies suggest that rates of unacknowledged rape may be as high or even higher among men than among women. This study examined rates of unacknowledged female and male victims of rape and sexual assault by comparing responses to behaviorally specific items of the Sexual Aggression and Victimization Scale (SAV-S) with responses to broad questions using the labels of sexual assault and rape (SARA) in 593 participants (303 women) in Germany. As predicted, more women and men were classified as rape victims based on behaviorally specific items than on the basis of the broad rape item. The rates of unacknowledged rape were about 60% for women and 75% for men. The gender difference was not significant. Against our prediction, no significant differences in acknowledgement of sexual assault were found in relation to coercive strategy and victim-perpetrator relationship. Few cases of rape and sexual assault identified by the SARA items were missed by the behaviorally specific questions. The implications for establishing prevalence rates of rape and sexual assault and for comparing victims and nonvictims in terms of vulnerability factors and outcomes of sexual victimization are discussed.

BT - parental stress and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany JF - Journal of family research N2 - Objective: This study examines gender and socioeconomic inequalities in parental psychological wellbeing (parenting stress and psychological distress) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany. Background: The dramatic shift of childcare and schooling responsibility from formal institutions to private households during the pandemic has put families under enormous stress and raised concerns about caregivers' health and wellbeing. Despite the overwhelming media attention to families’ wellbeing, to date limited research has examined parenting stress and parental psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in Germany. Method: We analyzed four waves of panel data (N= 1,771) from an opt-in online survey, which was conducted between March 2020 and April 2021. Multivariable OLS regressions were used to estimate variations in the pandemic's effects on parenting stress and psychological distress by various demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Results: Overall, levels of parenting stress and psychological distress increased during the pandemic. During the first and third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, mothers, parents with children younger than 11 years, parents with two or more children, parents working from home as well as parents with financial insecurity experienced higher parenting stress than other sociodemographic groups. Moreover, women, respondents with lower incomes, single parents, and parents with younger children experienced higher levels of psychological distress than other groups. Conclusion: Gender and socioeconomic inequalities in parents' psychological wellbeing increased among the study participants during the pandemic.

German schools adopted this movement in 1995. Decades later, racism is not yet a strong developmental science research topic for studies of youth in Germany and Europe. In this commentary we argue that it should be. With increasing hate crimes and harassment, there is also a need to understand how families are socializing young people to be prepared for, cope with, resist, and disrupt racism. This type of ethnic-racial socialization affects important developmental processes-adolescent ethnic-racial identity development and intergroup and institutional understanding and relations-and requires a more prominent place of study in a migration-diverse Germany. Studying these issues in this particular sociohistorical context will also contribute to a more context-specific understanding of youth experiences of racism.

While the flood adaptation behavior of private households has already been widely researched, comparatively less attention has been paid to the adaptation strategies of businesses. However, their ability to cope with flood risk plays an important role in the social and economic development of a flood-prone region. Therefore, using quantitative survey data, this study aims to identify different strategies and adaptation drivers of 557 businesses damaged by a riverine flood in 2013 and 104 businesses damaged by pluvial or flash floods between 2014 and 2017. Our results indicate that a low perceived self-efficacy may be an important factor that can reduce the motivation of businesses to adapt to flood risk. Furthermore, property-owners tended to act more proactively than tenants. In addition, high experience with previous flood events and low perceived response costs could strengthen proactive adaptation behavior. These findings should be considered in business-tailored risk communication.

This article focuses on the period between 1980's and 2000's, complementing earlier studies that focused on the emergence of the term "Ostjuden" and on the complex representations of Eastern European Jews in Imperial and later Weimar Germany. It shows that, despite its well-evidenced discriminatory history, the term "Ostjuden" re-appeared in the scholarly writing in German and has also found its way into German-speaking public history and journalism. This article calls for applying the adjectival term "osteuropaische Juden" (Eastern European Jews), using a term that neither essentializes Eastern European Jews nor presents them in an oversimplified and uniform manner.

The data set comprises 16,610 bills between 1990 and 2020. After a description of the data, we provide illustrative insights into the patterns of law-making. It is shown that these patterns are dominated by the new dualism between government and opposition. Furthermore, the incentives of issue competition are clearly present in the legislative initiatives. There is no evidence, however, for the expectation that intracoalitional policy distance prolongs the duration of legislative procedures. The published data provides scholars with the opportunity to investigate various additional research questions. N2 - Die vorliegende Research Note stellt die erste systematische Dokumentation der Gesetzgebung in den deutschen Landtagen vor. Der Datensatz umfasst insgesamt 16.610 dokumentierte Gesetzgebungsvorgänge zwischen den Jahren 1990 und 2020. Nach einer Beschreibung des Datensatzes werden einige Gesetzgebungsmuster in den deutschen Ländern exemplarisch dargestellt. Die Landesgesetzgebung erweist sich dabei als stark durch den neuen Dualismus zwischen Regierung und Opposition geprägt. Im Initiativverhalten lassen sich zudem die Anreize des thematischen Parteienwettbewerbs ablesen. Wenig Evidenz findet sich für die These, dass innerkoalitionäre Gegensätze die Dauer der Gesetzgebungsverfahren in die Länge ziehen. Der mit dieser Research Note veröffentlichte Datensatz steht der Forschung für die Untersuchung zahlreicher weiterer Fragestellungen zur Verfügung.
