- Inhalt:
- Moderne repräsentative Demokratien stehen zunehmend im Spannungsverhältnis zwischen stärkerer Berücksichtigung der Interessen verschiedenster gesellschaftlichen Gruppen und dem Prozess der Professionalisierung von Politik, der unter anderem zu einer stärkeren Schließung der Gruppe von politischen Entscheidungsträger/innen führt. Letzteres zeigt sich in typischen Karriereverläufen von Politiker/innen und in einem relativ homogenen Typus des Berufspolitikers.
In diesem Seminar setzen wir uns aus empirisch-analytischer Perspektive genauer mit der Professionalisierung von Politiker/innen, insbesondere deren politischen Karrierewegen und Verhaltensmustern, auseinander. Hierbei stellen wir uns die Frage, was Personen antreibt für ein Amt zu kandidieren, welche besondere Rolle Institutionen und Organisationen für ihren Weg ins Parlament spielen und warum und wie sich Politiker/innen im Amt weiter professionalisieren. Zudem gehen wir der Frage nach, welchen Einfluss die Professionalisierung auf das parlamentarische Verhalten hat, was Ministerkarrieren kennzeichnet und wie Parlamentarier/innen bzw. Regierungsmitglieder nach Ausscheiden aus ihrem politischen Amt beruflich von ihrer politischen Amtstätigkeit profitieren.
Ziele des Seminars sind
- das Verstehen von Ursachen und Konsequenzen politischer Karrieremuster
- ein Verständnis von Selektionsschritten in politischen Karrieren zu vermitteln
- die Vermittlung von Wissen über zentrale politisch-institutionelle und organisatorische Einflussfaktoren auf politische Karrieren
- die Aneignung und Anwendung von Wissen über Schwierigkeiten bei der Forschung zu politischen Karriereverläufen
- die eigenständige Erarbeitung und Beantwortung einer analytischen Fragestellung im Bereich der politischen Karriereforschung
- die fokussierte Präsentation eigener Forschungspläne bzw. -ergebnisse
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- Literaturempfehlungen erhalten Sie im Kurs.

- Inhalt:
- Most governments nurture some form of patriotism and/or nationalism, which insist that co-nationals have a duty to favour one another and prioritize their nation’s interests. However, critics of nationalism argue that it is a malicious ideology that generates conflict and violence. The goal of this course is two-fold. First, we will explore the concepts of nation, identity, nationalism, and patriotism through analyzing theories and form of nationalism and questioning whether nationalism meets the impartial demands of morality. Second, we will investigate cases from across Europe that represent phenomena such as self-determination, separatism, irredentism, ethno-political conflicts, and inter-state wars. Through these cases we will discuss issues related to rights of minority cultures, mobility and migration, citizenship, regionalism and European integration. Overall, participants of the course will learn about foundations of nationalism and national identity and how they can vary across space and time. During the course students will have a chance to engage in a replication of the so-called King and Country debate: "This House will under no circumstances fight for its King and country" – also known as an Oxford Oath. Instructions on the organization of the formal debate will be distributed by the instructor during the course.

Assessment/Erwerb eines Leistungsnachweises: Portfolio
ECTS credits: 8
Sprechstunde on demand/nach Vereinbarung: ulrich.sieberer(at)uni-bamberg.de
- Inhalt:
- The course is designed as a review on research design, especially the logic of causal inference. It will cover the entire research process in empirical-analytical political science research from finding a research question via placing it in the context of exiting research, formulating a theory, deriving hypotheses, operationalizing and measuring core concepts, testing hypotheses to finally interpreting results and relating them to exiting work. A special focus will be on the conditions that allow for causal inferences in different research designs, both in the tradition of causal effects and causal mechanisms.
Even though the terms are often used similarly, research design is not the same as methods. Research design covers the plan how you address your question and how you want to answer it. Methods are specific analysis tools used in carrying out this plan. The course focuses on the logic of research design, not the specific methods needed to carry out such a design. It is designed to enable students to understand and choose a research design and provides starting points for delving deeper into specific designs.
The course will combine online lecture elements with in-class discussion and interactive work that apply general lessons to specific research papers and projects.

- Inhalt:
- A key function of legislatures in democratic systems is to discuss and debate policy proposals, bills, and other political issues. Participating in legislative debates gives members of parliament an opportunity to voice their opinion, express their opposition or support, and to have their statements entered into an official parliamentary transcript, where what they said is permanently recorded and accessible to other political actors, news organizations, and the public. With the digitalization of such parliamentary records in many countries and the development of statistical and computer-assisted methods to analyze textual data, scholarly attention to legislative debates has increased significantly during the past decade. Political scientists have used legislative debates to study fundamental questions of the political process, such as the quality of representation, levels of party cohesion and polarization, and the effectiveness of legislative scrutiny. This seminar will provide an overview of theoretical and empirical research on legislative debates. We will start by reviewing existing theories that explain the role of deliberation in the legislative process, who participates in legislative debates, and what factors influence the content of speeches. We will pay particular attention to how differences in institutions and political systems inform our understanding of the politics of legislative debates. We will next review and apply computer-assisted approaches for the analysis of legislative speech, using the programming language R.

- Di, 10:00 - 12:00, FMA/01.19
- Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:
- Start/Beginn: 18. October 2022

Assessment/Erwerb eines Leistungsnachweises: Portfolio
ECTS: 8
Consultation hours on demand: ulrich.sieberer(at)uni-bamberg.de
- Inhalt:
- Political opposition is an essential yet understudied phenomenon of politics. Having a legitimitate opposition criticizing and scrutinizing the government is a defining feature of democratic systems. Opposition occurs both in institutionalized forms (e.g. in parliaments and elections) and in more flexible ways (e.g. protests, social movements). While non-democratic systems generally try to suppress opposition, contestation occurs in such systems as well and can threaten to destabilize the system, either from the outside (e.g. via mass protests) or from within (e.g. via internal coups within the governing elite). Thus, understanding various types of opposition is essential for comparative politics.
This seminar will provide an overview on the (scattered) research on oppositions in democratic and non-democratic systems with a focus on the former. We first discuss the concept of opposition and its different forms. In the second part of the course, we look at opposition actors, their powers and behavior in democratic systems trying to understand variation within democratic systems and over time. We will also look at recent examples where the fundamental consensus on the role and legitimacy of opposition has come under pressure. In the third part, we take a briefer look at opposition in non-democratic systems and its contribution to system transformation.
