Interest in the academic study of political careers dates to social science classics such as Weber’s essay (1919) ‘Politics as a Vocation’, and Mills’ (1956) ’The Power Elite'. Lack of detailed biographical political data and methods to collect and analyse these data made this research difficult. Thanks to new (online) data sources and better software, this situation is now changing. We in particular welcome papers that study individual career transitions across levels (e.g. the promotion from municipal council member to alderman, from MP to minister); complete career trajectories; the post-parliamentary careers of politicians; and macro-level outcomes of career dynamics like gender composition, professionalisation etc.
