New textbook: "The political system of the FRG"
To the publisher
This textbook offers a systematic, theoretical and empirically based introduction to the German political system. It is aimed primarily at students of political science, but also at anyone interested in gaining a theoretically and empirically sound overview of the political institutions and processes in the Federal Republic. The individual dimensions of the political system are analyzed from a uniform perspective based on the distinction between majority and consensus democracy. A particular focus of the presentation is on political decision-making and decision-making in the multi-level system, which ranges from the municipal to the European level. This provides a comprehensive and clear picture of how German democracy is structured and how it functions.
