Bedeutung
It applies equally to, or the same situation exists for.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In the French 'Grandes Écoles', students are judged on their ability to use 'connecteurs logiques' like this. It signals that the writer belongs to a certain intellectual class. Quebec French also uses this in formal contexts, though there is a slight tendency to use 'Il en est de même' more frequently in administrative documents. In international diplomacy, where French is an official language, this phrase is used to ensure that treaties apply equally to all signatories without ambiguity. High-end newspapers like 'Le Monde' or 'Le Figaro' use this phrase to maintain a 'ton sérieux' (serious tone) in their reporting.
The Semicolon Trick
In writing, this phrase is most powerful after a semicolon. It creates a perfect balance between two independent but related clauses.
Don't Overuse
Using this more than once in a short essay can make your writing feel repetitive and 'heavy'. Vary it with 'De la même manière' or 'Pareillement'.
