摘要

基于对政治化的理解，即政治标准在公务员的选择和取消选择中的相关性增加，本文提出了一种创新的方法，用个人层面的职业数据来衡量公务员政治化。为此，公务员职业生涯中的两种核心政治经验被区分开来:作为当选政治家的前台政治经验和在非选举办公室接近政治的后台政治经验。对于每个核心类型，定义了两个子类型。通过对1949年至2017年期间德国2100多名高级公务员任命的原始数据集的分析，可以说明四种不同类型政治经验的实证测量。调查结果显示，后台政治经历显著增加。本文所建立的方法不仅可以用于纵向研究，也可以用于比较研究，以探索政治化的各个方面。

Measuring civil service politicization with career data: Backstage and frontstage political experience of top civil servants in the German ministerial administration

Abstract Based on an understanding of politicization as an increase in the relevance of political criteria in the selection and deselection of civil servants, this article proposes an innovative approach to measure civil service politicization with individual‐level career data. For this purpose, two core types of political experience in civil servants' careers are distinguished: frontstage political experience as elected politician and backstage political experience in non‐elected offices close to politics. For each core type, two subtypes are defined. The empirical measurement of the four different types of political experience is illustrated by the analysis of an original dataset of more than 2100 top civil service appointments in Germany in the time period 1949–2017. Findings reveal a significant increase in backstage political experience. The approach developed for this article can be applied to explore various facets of politicization not only in longitudinal perspective but also in comparative studies.
