Interessenvermittlung in den Ausschüssen des Deutschen Bundestages. Eine Erweiterung und Fortschreibung für die 18. Wahlperiode (2013 bis 2017)

Abstract

Tuis article extends the existing documentation of interest group activities in the commit- tees of the German Bundestag for the 18th election period. Tue documentation goes beyond previous ones by including sub-committees and taking into account contacts between stakeholders and representatives also in regular committee meetings. While most figures structurally remain the same as in the 17th election period, changes can be identified in particular for committees whose responsibilities have changed. Tuus, established patterns of interest group representation may also change in the context of committee reorganization.
