Der vorliegenden Beitrag beschreibt die Institutionalisierung des niederländischen Parlaments (Zweite Kammer) hinsichtlich der Professionalisierung der Abgeordneten während des letzten Jahrhunderts anhand folgender Kategorien von Daten: die vorparlamentarischen Erfahrungen und Karrieren der Mitglieder, Alter und die Dauer der Amtsinhabe. Generell läßt sich folgende Entwicklung feststellen: bis Anfang des Zweiten Weltkriegs kann von einer 'Fossilisierung' des Parlaments im Sinne einer Honoratiorenpartei mit fast 'lebenslangen' Amtszeiten gesprochen werden. Diese Entwicklung ist seitdem stark rückläufig. Immer wichtiger werden die vor- und außerparlamentarischen Erfahrungen als Rekrutierungskriterium für die Abgeordneten. Dabei spielt die Parteikarriere die zunehmend entscheidende Rolle wie in allen westlichen modernen Demokratien. (pmb)... view less

'This article describes developments regarding institutionalization of the Dutch Second Chamber and professionalization of its members during a century, using two categories of data: on pre-parliamentarian political experience of the members on the one hand, on turnover, tenure and age at the other hand. Not all of the here investigated aspects lead to the same conclusion concerning the process of institutionalization. Institutionalization seems to be confirmed by the fact that the renewal rate points, in the postwar decades at least, more or less to some 'fossilization'. Tenure of parliamentary mandate, however, in the whole rather tends to decrease over time at least until the seventies. In these last decades the renewal rate no longer was as strongly connected to the mean age as before. Pre-parliamentary political experience has been an important recruiting factor during the entire period. While local political experience slightly decreases, party-experience among new members of parliament even increased since the thirties. MP's with previous political experience have been re-elected more frequently. Recent complaints about 'petrification' of parliament are less firmly grounded than supposed.'
