G.F. Schuppert contends the state is the central point of reference in social and political science as well as in legal and economic studies. In devoting the central issue of this book to the state, the author makes it not only a work of central interest for the mentioned disciplines but also opens up the subject for a broad audience.

Anecdotal evidence of public media coverage & academic journal contributions in the field of political science give reason for examine more closely the relationship between the type of electoral mandate & committee membership. In general, the type of mandate & committee membership of German Bundestag members between 1949 & 2005 prove to be stable. Hardly any changes have occurred between the direct- & the list-track patterns of the German two-vote electoral system. Moreover, Bundestag members hardly change the type of committee on which they are members. This has led to more directly elected members of the Bundestag serving on the committees for agriculture, traffic & construction (called constituency committees in the political science literature) & to more list members of the Bundestag serving on the committees for health, defense, family & development, classified as party committees.
