Full Description
This thoroughly revised and updated edition of The German Polity provides a comprehensive introduction to contemporary Germany, one of the world's leading economic and political powers. Looking back, Eric Langenbacher and David P. Conradt trace the country's transformation since the seminal turning points of 1945 after World War II and 1990 after reunification. Looking to the present, the authors explain and assess its major institutions, actors, and issues. Looking forward, they explore the looming economic, security, and demographic challenges the political system must address in the years to come.
