The institutionalization of the European Green Party after the 2019 European election [Switek, Niko] 4209 This article assesses long-term effects of the introduction of leading candidates on the institutionalization of the European Green Party. Our analysis combines social media and manifesto data with qualitative interviews and a media analysis. Strong election results in 2019 as well as an increasing perception as a mainstream-actor point to an objectively and externally institutionalized party. However, in the internal dimension the influence of the candidates in conjunction with programmatic disparities undermine the status of a routinized and influential Europarty. 4950 https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-29277-5_6$xR$3Volltext$534 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:465-20220707-145226-3$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://duepublico2.uni-due.de/receive/duepublico_mods_00076217 5051 320 5550 European Election 2019 5550 European Green Party (EGP) 5550 Network Analysis 5550 Party Institutionalization 5550 Spitzenkandidaten
