Based on the extant literature, we identify and operationalize the essential components of this new form of campaigning to create a 30-point index that is applied to the case of the 2005 German federal election. The results show the CAMPROF Index to be: (1) successful in capturing variance in parties' engagement in professionalized campaigning, and (2) capable of producing rankings that correspond to a priori expectations about how well the parties would perform. The findings are significant in that they provide preliminary confirmation of the Index's capacity to measure the concept of professionalized campaigning as well as providing new insights into the party-level dynamics that may be driving the current wave of campaign modernization. The opportunities and challenges involved in wider application of the measure to cross-national research are discussed.}, language = {en} } @incollection{RoemmeleGibson, author = {R{\"o}mmele, Andrea and Gibson, Rachel K.}, title = {Political Communication}, series = {Comparative Politics}, booktitle = {Comparative Politics}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, address = {Oxford}, pages = {473 -- 492}, language = {en} } @article{RoemmeleFalkRehfeldetal., author = {R{\"o}mmele, Andrea and Falk, Svenja and Rehfeld, Dieter and Thunert, Martin}, title = {Kooperative Politikberatung: Ein neues Beziehungsgeflecht zwischen Politik und Politikberatung?}, series = {Politische Vierteljahresschrift (PVS)}, volume = {48}, journal = {Politische Vierteljahresschrift (PVS)}, number = {2}, publisher = {VS Verlag f{\"u}r Sozialwissenschaften}, issn = {1862-2860}, doi = {10.1007/s11615-007-0049-y}, pages = {322 -- 337}, abstract = {Der Beitrag untersucht den Einfluss ver{\"a}nderter Governance-Strukturen auf die Politikberatung.

Arguing that election websites form a key tool of the new high-tech campaign trade we investigate the extent of their use at the local level as well as some of the triggers to their uptake and possible longer-term effects on campaign style, in terms of interactivity and independence from central party control. Our findings reveal that this form of high-tech campaigning is prominent across Germany and is promoted by factors linked to higher levels of local campaign activity more generally, i.e., party resources, competition and incumbency. Content analysis of sites, however, reveals little support for the notion that election websites are introducing a more participatory style of campaigning. Also, while some parties appear to be inclined toward controlling local actors' message through the medium, for the most part, candidates and parties appear to be left alone to develop their online profile.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Roemmele, author = {R{\"o}mmele, Andrea}, title = {Parteispenden nach den Skandalen: Erfahrungen aus der BRD sowie im internationalen Vergleich}, series = {PVS Sonderheft Politische Korruption - Dimensionen politischer Korruption: Beitr{\"a}ge zum Stand der internationalen Forschung}, booktitle = {PVS Sonderheft Politische Korruption - Dimensionen politischer Korruption: Beitr{\"a}ge zum Stand der internationalen Forschung}, number = {35}, editor = {Alemann, Ulrich von}, publisher = {Westdeutscher Verlag}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-531-14141-1}, issn = {0720-4809}, pages = {384 -- 396}, language = {de} } @article{RoemmeleGibson, author = {R{\"o}mmele, Andrea and Gibson, Rachel K.}, title = {Truth and Consequence in Web-Campaigning: Is There an Academic Digital Divide?}, series = {European Political Science}, volume = {4}, journal = {European Political Science}, number = {3}, publisher = {Palgrave Macmillan UK}, issn = {1682-0983}, doi = {10.1057/palgrave.eps.2210036}, pages = {273 -- 287}, abstract = {Use of the web by political parties and candidates as well as the general public is expanding.
