5 Acknowledgements It is most important to me to thank my loved ones. My family is my anchor, providing me with endless love and support, with energy and balance. I am very grateful for the love and support of my closest friends and siblings. My parents piqued my curiosity, have always encouraged me to pursue my dreams, and have supported me in many ways during my studies. I would have never reached that far without their love, faith in me, and encouragement. I am indebted to my husband, who endured my ups and downs during the last years and lifted my spirit time and again. Iamdeeplygratefulforhislove,hisfirmbeliefinmyabilities,andfor making me smile.

I would also like to thank Professor Dr. Wolfgang C. Müller for his interest in my research and for acting as a thesis reviewer and chair of the committee. Moreover, I am thankful to Professor Dr. Hermann Schmitt, with whom I had the privilege to discuss my research on multiple occasions. With his expert knowledge on European elections, his suggestions were particularly helpful. Furthermore, I am very thankful to many colleagues and friends for fruitful discussions, helpful suggestions, and their company during countless breaks. From the numerous colleagues who have made suggestions over the past years I would like to mention Mariyana Angelova, Serra Boranbay, Eva-Maria Euchner, Matthias Haber, Sebastian Köhler, Moritz Marbach, Daniel Müller, Dominic Nyhuis, Moritz Osnabrügge, Sander
