Parlamentarische Praxis – Der Stand der Forschung zur zentralen Institution der Demokratie

Abstract: Zusammenfassung: Welcher Logik folgt die Praxis in den zentralen Institutionen der Demokratie, den Parlamenten? Diese Frage wird von Soziologie und Politikwissenschaft in stark selektiver Weise angegangen. Umfangreiche Erkenntnisse, die sich vor allem der Parlamentarismusforschung verdanken, gibt es zwar zur ersten Komponente der Praxis, der Ausstattung der Situation: Demgemäß treten die hohen Bewältigungsanforderungen in inhaltlicher, zeitlicher und normativer Hinsicht hervor, mit denen die professionalisiert… Show more

“…One implication to be drawn from our study is the need to investigate in more detail the practical foundations of theoretical and normative understandings of democratic politics. As Brichzin (2016a) points out in her review of the current state of research on parliaments, the institutional concept of democratic representation is still the unquestioned starting point of studies, not their object of study. Our study shows that this taken-for-grantedness is itself established and upheld by careful and mundane practices of invisibilizing the distributed character of doing political discourse.…”

“…The characteristic daily interplay of big, mid-range and petty affairs became readily visible. Thus, the shadowing technique helped me to avoid the ‘big decision bias’ (Brichzin, 2016a), which is rather common in parliamentary research.

“…First, I wanted to avoid mistaking the peculiar workings of one specific parliament for the logic of all parliamentary proceedings. Second, I wanted to sidestep the ‘big arena bias’, which is common to many parliamentary studies, and which primarily directs the attention of researchers to the highest levels of parliament, such as the Bundestag, or the most visible arenas, such as the plenary sessions (Brichzin, 2016a). These two biases obscure the plethora of instances beyond what is publicly visible, including preparatory meetings, secondary actions and alternate events, which make the big arena of parliamentary politics so readily visible in the first place.…”
