    The Prospects of the FDP in Comparative Perspective: Rest in Peace or Totgesagte leben länger?
    in German Politics , Volume 24, Issue 2, April ,  2015 ,  179-194
    This article examines the conditions under which political parties that have dropped below the threshold of legislative representation later re-enter parliament. To do so, it compares two German parties that did not return to the Bundestag and two that did. In light of the ‘lessons' of previous cases in the Federal Republic, the essay considers the prospects of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) in the wake of its 2013 federal election defeat.
