“…Our approach fills several gaps in the existing literature on authorization (Kuyper, 2016;Heinisch and Werner, 2019;Joschko and Glaser, 2019). Kuyper's approach assesses the process as a whole, while the approach outlined here enables scholars to focus on individual claimsproviding inference on the performative elements of representation beyond elections.…”

“…Kuyper's approach assesses the process as a whole, while the approach outlined here enables scholars to focus on individual claimsproviding inference on the performative elements of representation beyond elections. For Heinisch and Werner (2019) elections and descriptive overlap between elected representatives and claimed constituency remain core authorization mechanisms. Our approach enables scholars to study the authorization of claims beyond elections, bridging both the traditional and constructivist representation.…”

“…Authenticity as an authorization mechanism shifts the focus away from the linkage between the representatives and the represented, reducing it to a (descriptive) fit (e.g., black women represent black women) -the underlining assumption being, the better the fit, the better the representation (cf. Mansbridge, 2011;Mansbridge 2013;Heinisch and Werner, 2019;Joschko and Glaser, 2019). Guasti and Geissel (2019) proposed to seek empirical ways to assess the authorization of claims, rather than developing alternative theoretical concepts (cf.…”

“…Three approaches combined conceptual advancement and empirical assessment of authorization (Kuyper, 2016;Heinisch and Werner, 2019;Joschko and Glaser, 2019). Kuyper (2016) identified key criteria for assessing nonelectoral representatives and deliberative democratic legitimacy (inclusivity, authenticity, and consequentiality).…”

“…It does not allow us to zoom in on claims as key elements of representation. The remaining two approaches (Heinisch and Werner, 2019;Joschko and Glaser, 2019) used claims but focused on electoral representation. Heinisch and Werner (2019) measured claims by populist parties in their programs, whether voters accept these claims (by voting), and the extent to which elected representatives descriptively represent the claimed groups.…”

This article seeks to build a bridge between the empirical scholarship rooted in the traditional theory of political representation and constructivist theory on representation by focusing on the authorization of claims. It seeks to answer how claims can be authorized beyond elections - selecting three democratic innovations and tracing claims through the claim-making process. Different participatory democratic innovations are selected - providing various claims and taking place in different institutional contexts, i.e., (elected) members of the Council of Foreigners Frankfurt; individual citizens in participatory budgeting procedures in Münster; and citizen’s associations elected politicians in the referendum campaign in Hamburg. We first analyze the claims raised by the different claim-makers to identify their claimed constituency eligible to authorize claims. In the second step, we focus on the authorization by the claimed constituency and the relevant decision-making authority. The article finds that claim-making in democratic innovations is fractured and incomplete. Nevertheless, this is not the reason to dismiss democratic innovations as possible loci of representation; on the contrary, seen through the prism of claim-making, all representation – electoral and nonelectoral – is partial. Focusing on the authorization of claims in democratic innovations provides novel inferences about the potential and limits of democratic innovations for broadening democratic representation

ZusammenfassungIn der Populismusforschung dient der von Cas Mudde vergleichend herausgearbeitete Begriff der „Männerpartei“ zur Beschreibung rechtspopulistischer Parteien. Daran anknüpfend geht dieser Artikel auf Basis einer quantitativen Befragung aktiver Parteimitglieder im Vorfeld der Bundestagswahl 2017 (N = 7923) der Frage nach, inwiefern dieses Konzept auf die „Alternative für Deutschland“ übertragen werden kann und welche Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten zu den sechs anderen im Deutschen Bundestag vertretenen Parteien bestehen. Während zum Wahlverhalten und zur Programmatik rechtspopulistischer Parteien schon länger internationale Forschungsarbeiten vorliegen, stellt die geschlechtliche Verfasstheit von rechten Parteiorganisationen ein Forschungsdesiderat dar. Die 2013 gegründete AfD ist ein besonders interessanter Forschungsgegenstand, da sie sich vom traditionellen Erscheinungsbild von Rechtsaußenparteien unterscheidet, insbesondere bei ihrer inklusiven innerparteilichen Demokratie sowie ihrer zumeist paritätischen Doppelspitze. Diese Genderanalyse zeigt, dass sich die AfD bei der Mitgliedschaft, den Einstellungen und der Partizipation zumeist von den anderen Parteien unterscheidet. Zwar weisen auch die verglichenen Parteien maskuline Prägungen auf, jedoch in abgeschwächter Intensität. Eine graduelle Differenzierung der AfD von den anderen Parteien erscheint hinsichtlich der Geschlechterdimension daher sinnvoller als eine distinktive. Ausgehend von den empirischen Befunden wird vorgeschlagen, die unpräzise Klassifikation der „Männerpartei“ durch eine mehrdimensionale Typologie zu ersetzen, die relationale Aussagen zur Genderdimension von Parteiorganisationen und deren Anti-Feminismus treffen kann. Diese parteienvergleichende Analyse möchte sowohl zur politikbezogenen Genderforschung als auch zur Parteienforschung, die populistische Parteiorganisationen fokussiert, beitragen.
