“…In contrast, female politicians' typical career path goes from the local to the regional and to the national level, only to return thereafter to the regional arena as top candidates, thereby following an integrated career pattern (Borchert 2011;Escobar-Lemmon & Funk 2018). In contrast, female politicians' typical career path goes from the local to the regional and to the national level, only to return thereafter to the regional arena as top candidates, thereby following an integrated career pattern (Borchert 2011;Escobar-Lemmon & Funk 2018).…”

“…Party politics integrates the organisational structure facilitating politicians' career opportunities (Borchert 2011). On the one hand, party ideology is a crucial determinant of women's representation, with left parties being more responsive to group representation demands through the use of gender quotas (Kittilson 2006).…”

“…Generally, male top candidates present a career path that escalates from the local to the regional level before becoming top candidates for the first time. In contrast, female politicians' typical career path goes from the local to the regional and to the national level, only to return thereafter to the regional arena as top candidates, thereby following an integrated career pattern (Borchert 2011;Escobar-Lemmon & Funk 2018). As shown by previous research on regional legislatures, we confirm that the regional level tends to be an arena on its own right for male politicians but this is not the case for female politicians (Stolz 2003;Borchert & Stolz 2011;Oñate 2010).…”

This research provides new theoretical and empirical insights into the gender politics of the springboards to chief executive office. The extremely masculinised composition of the relatively few top national executive positions has posed a serious impediment to empirically assessing the conditions that may facilitate women's under‐representation and men's over‐representation. To overcome this constraint, this study looks at the top regional executive office across four West European countries that present a multilevel state structure – namely Austria, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom. Using two original datasets, the article examines the ways in which the selection and reselection of regional prime ministerial candidates is shaped by individual, organisational and institutional factors that produce heterogeneous experiences and career opportunities across sex. The results show that women have not shattered the glass ceiling at the regional level and pinpoint the fact that they are held to higher standards, benefit less from the political resources they possess and are more dependent on the decision environment in which parties select executive candidates. The conclusion is that the rules of the game guiding selection and reselection processes are strongly biased towards men.

“…To determine the extent to which MEPs and MNPs utilize Twitter in distinctive ways, we take advantage of the EU's multilevel nature. While political scientists have made progress in tracking MEPs' careers (Arter, 2015;Borchert & Stolz, 2011;Daniel, 2015;Scarrow, 1997;Stolz, 2003;Whitaker, 2014), the field still lacks a comprehensive longitudinal career database. Recent contributions suggest that national trends vary but that, overall, the degree of movement from one territorial level to another may be decreasing over time (Borchert & Stolz, 2011;Whitaker, 2014).…”

This study investigates whether members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and members of national parliaments (MNPs) use social media in distinctive ways. Specifically, it examines whether institutional differences affect the frequency, quality, and nature of legislators’ Twitter communications. Controlling for factors that previous studies find significant, we select for two kinds of legislators: (i) MEPs who are serving in the 2014–19 term and who served as MNPs immediately before their election to the EP and (ii) MEPs who served in the 2009–14 term and have subsequently become MNPs. We compare selected legislators’ tweets over a three‐month period during their EP tenures with their Twitter behaviors over an analogous period during their NP tenures. The statistical results demonstrate few significant differences between MEPs and MNPs. A preliminary qualitative probe suggests that legislators’ tweet patterns may owe less to the institution they serve and more to their policy responsibilities and leadership positions within particular institutions.
