- This 81,000-word book represents an extended piece of research that analyzes how the institutionalisation of a new, supranational legislature disrupted political careers in 28 European countries. It uses hand-coded data on every politician that served in the European Parliament’s elected history (1979-2014). The resulting dozens of variables, collected for roughly 4800 individual observations, were compiled from public internet records and obscure holdings in government and university archives in the USA, Luxembourg, and Belgium. The quantitative analysis was complemented by over 50 qualitative interviews with politicians in Belgium, France, Germany, and Poland, requiring a lengthy period of data collection and analysis.
