Abstract
In 2022 and 2023, the three state parliaments (Landtage) of South Tyrol, Trentino, and the Tyrol were newly elected. Based on representation theory and elite research, this article examines the question of how the state parliaments are structured in terms of socio-demographic and socio-structural dimensions, and how they differ from one another. All 106 members of parliament are included in the analysis. In summary, it can be said that the socio-demographic characteristics among the members of parliament in the three Euregio member states are not fundamentally different. What we can observe is that state parliaments are (still) organizations comprised of elites. In terms of socio-demographic characteristics, they do not fully correspond with the respective societies in which they are situated. Furthermore, while the percentage of female political representatives is rising, women are still underrepresented, as are people with a formally lower degree of education and certain professions, especially blue-collar workers.
