I am deeply honoured to be awarded the Wissenschaftspreis des Deutschen Bundestages (Science Award of the German Bundestag) 2023 for my book ‘Turning Talk into Power: The Parliamentary Roots of European Social Policy’ (alongside Oliver Haardt, for his volume ‘Bismarcks ewiger Bund. Eine neue Geschichte des Deutschen Kaiserreichs’). According to the official announcement, the jury decided on my book “da [es] in beachtlichem Maße zur Erforschung des Europäischen Parlaments beitrage. [Es] liefere neue Erkenntnisse zur Entwicklungslogik des europäischen Parlamentarismus und zum Prozess der Institutionalisierung von Parlamenten.”
