Ostdeutsche Parlamentarier in ihrer ersten Wahlperiode: Wandel und Angleichung

East German parliamentarians in their first legislative period: change and adaptation

1991/92 wurden 403 Parlamentarier aus Ostdeutschland, 1994 856 Abgeordnete bundesweit (darunter 208 aus Ostdeutschland) schriftlich zu ihrem Amtsverständnis, ihrer Amtsführung und ihren gesellschaftlichen Vernetzungen befragt.

1991/92 wurden 403 Parlamentarier aus Ostdeutschland, 1994 856 Abgeordnete bundesweit (darunter 208 aus Ostdeutschland) schriftlich zu ihrem Amtsverständnis, ihrer Amtsführung und ihren gesellschaftlichen Vernetzungen befragt. Betrachtet werden zentrale Unterschiede zwischen Ost- und Westparlamentariern, Abweichungen zwischen den beiden Befragungszeitpunkten sowie generell die ostdeutschen Wandlungsprozesse. Im Ergebnis wird festgehalten, daß sich das Muster der Ost/West-Unterschiede in den vier Jahren nicht wesentlich geändert hat. Als wesentliches Defizit des ostdeutschen Parlamentarismus wird die unzulängliche Öffentlichkeits- und Wahlkreisarbeit und die mangelnde Bereitschaft, 'Führungsfuktionen' wahrzunehmen, festgehalten. Es bildete sich aber weder ein neuer 'Abgeordnetentyp' heraus, noch kann von einem neuen Typ von Parlamentarismus gesprochen werden, allenfalls von einer Modifikation des ansonsten gleichen Modells.

"Based on 1991/92 and 1994 surveys of parliamentarians, this article analyzes role changes of East German MPs during the first years of the newly established parliamentarism in the 'New Laender'. As a point of departure, significant differences between East and West German parliamentarians in 1991/92 are explored in terms of biographical and socializational background, role orientations and role behaviour as MPs, and in terms of the parliamentarians' linkages with civil society (grassroots networking efforts). Secondly, changes in these variables that occured until 1994 are analyzed. In conclusion, the pattern of differences between East and West German MPs in 1994 reveals that East German MPs developed the same roles that had long been known from West German MPs. To be sure, this development did not simply reflect a process of role adaptation on the part of the MPs but was due to the functional similarities of the political institutions that had been transferred from West to East Germany."
