Abstract

On 26 September 2021, Germans elected the 20th Bundestag. This election was special in many ways. The article analyses the electoral campaign, voting behaviour, turnout, and the formation of a new coalition government by using a gender and intersectional lens. Against the conceptual background of descriptive, substantive, and symbolic representation, we outline the implications of the election for gender and intersectional politics in the new German Bundestag and the government. In descriptive and symbolic terms, we find higher numbers of women (and of minorities) in the Bundestag and its leadership as well as in government; in substantive terms, we observe the presence of ‘critical actors’ and the commitment to progressive politics in the new ‘Ampel’ coalition. Hence, we see at least a chance for change in several key policy areas and social progress in the next 4 years.

2021年德国联邦大选:性别与交叉分析

2021年9月26日，德国选出第20届联邦议院议员。这次选举在很多方面都很特别。文章从性别和交叉角度分析了竞选活动、投票行为、投票率和新联合政府的组建。在描述性、实质性和象征性代表性的概念背景下，我们概述了选举对新德国联邦议院和政府的性别和交叉政治的影响。从描述性和象征性的角度来看，我们发现联邦议院及其领导层以及政府中的女性（和少数民族）人数更多；从实质上讲，我们观察到新的“安佩尔”联盟中存在“关键行为者”和对进步政治的承诺。因此，我们认为在未来4年中，至少有机会在几个关键政策领域和社会进步方面做出改变年。

期刊介绍： Politics publishes cutting-edge peer-reviewed analysis in politics and international studies. The ethos of Politics is the dissemination of timely, research-led reflections on the state of the art, the state of the world and the state of disciplinary pedagogy that make significant and original contributions to the disciplines of political and international studies. Politics is pluralist with regards to approaches, theories, methods, and empirical foci. Politics publishes articles from 4000 to 8000 words in length. We welcome 3 types of articles from scholars at all stages of their careers: Accessible presentations of state of the art research; Research-led analyses of contemporary events in politics or international relations; Theoretically informed and evidence-based research on learning and teaching in politics and international studies. We are open to articles providing accounts of where teaching innovation may have produced mixed results, so long as reasons why these results may have been mixed are analysed.
