The paper was published in 2008 and I don’t know enough about European politics to know the shifts since then but you can download it here.
Looks like they categorize Germany as MMP (“Germany, New Zealand and Mexico also have a mixed member proportional (MMP) system, where about half of the members in parliament are selected by closed party lists to correct partisan imbalances resulting from the election of electorate candidates by plurality rules”).
