Description
European integration has not only changed the career opportunities of politicians, but it has also expanded them. This volume is dedicated to the study of political career patterns. It focuses on parliamentary careers in selected European countries, but the U.S. is also included as it has a long-standing system with multi-level politics. The contributions represent a systematic investigation into level-hopping practices in Europe. While discussing the logic of moves across political levels, special attention is given to the impact of institutional reforms. The results indicate that the traditional model of career mobility, with the national level as the apex of a career, is still of importance in most countries; however, a clear trend towards multi-directional political careers is also developing.

Reviews
»Insgesamt haben Edinger und Jahr einen anregenden Sammelband zu den Karrieremustern von Parlamentariern vorgelegt, der für die vergleichende Forschung interessante Anstöße gibt.«
Dr. Patrick Horst, ZfP 2016, 462

»interessante Einblicke in die Stellung des Europäischen Parlaments in den ausgewählten Ländern... bietet einen ansprechenden Einstieg in die Forschung zu parlamentarischen Eliten im europäischen Mehrebenensystem. Als "Nebeneffekt" werden in knapper und verständlicher Form Einblicke in die Grundzüge der verschiedenen politischen Systeme gegeben, was nicht nur für Leser aufschlussreich sein dürfte, die primär an den elitentheoretischen Implikationen des Bandes interessiert sind.«
