Thesis
The career paths of MEPs and their activities in the European Parliament
The European Parliament (EP) gradually expands its powers. This makes it increasingly important to better understand who represents the European citizens. In this PhD it is studied who gets elected to the EP, whether MEPs with different career paths are active in different ways in the EP and how those differences can be explained.
