Transformation of the German Political Party System cover

Using German political parties as a prism with which to view institutional change, this collection transcends a single country focus and places the German experience in a comparative and historical framework. Evaluation the performance of the German parties and party system in dealing with problems of integration and legitimation common to all industrialized democracies, it presents a sharp analysis of the effects and incompleteness of German unification.

“… many of its contributions will likely stand the test of time, since they are bases on an analysis of long-standing processes rather than basic 'snapshots'.”• German Politics and Society

“This book could not be more timely … A valuable study for all those interested in gaining a larger and more grounded view of German political parties and the party system.”• German Studies Review
