Abstract:
The Politics of the New Germany takes a new approach to understanding politics in the post-unification Federal Republic. Assuming only elementary knowledge, it focuses on debates and issues in order to help students understand both the workings of Germany's key institutions and some of the key policy challenges facing German politicians." "Each of the chapters draws on a rich variety of real-world examples. In doing so, it highlights both the challenges and opportunities facing policy-makers in such areas as foreign affairs, economic policy, immigration, identity politics and institutional reform. The book also takes a bird's-eye view of the big debates that have defined German politics over time, regardless of which political parties happened to be in power. It pinpoints three key themes that have characterised German politics over the last sixty years; reconciliation, consensus and transformation." "Dan Hough is Senior Lecturer in Politics at the University of Sussex." "Alister Miskimmon is Lecturer in European Politics and International Relations and Director of European Studies at Royal Holloway, University of London." "Graham Timmins is Professor of Politics at the University of Stirling
