From Party Politics to Personalized Politics?
This volumes examines two major developments in contemporary democratic politics-- the change in party-society linkage and political personalization--and their relation to each other.
The Political System of Germany
The textbook introduces the self-understanding, institutional structure and practice of the political system of the Federal Republic of Germany. The work provides a problem-oriented overview of the basic constitutional and foreign policy decisions that have constituted German democracy; the political field of forces formed by interest groups, citizens' initiatives, parties and mass media; the political institutions at the federal, state and local levels; the social reach and administrative enforcement of political decisions; the political culture including the structure of the political ruling class. The new edition also addresses, among other things, the consequences of the Corona crisis for the political system, the changing party system and the crisis of the EU after the 2021 federal election.
Leading from Behind
This book takes stock of German gender equality in several policy fields after 16 years of governments led by Angela Merkel and her conservative Christian Democratic Party (CDU). While maintaining its status as an economic engine in Europe, Germany has historically been a laggard in adopting gender equality measures. The European Gender Equality Index, however, now ranks Germany relatively high and shows substantial progress since 2005. While this has gone mostly unnoticed, Germany has passed far-reaching legislation in major policy fields relevant for gender equality. Investigating the effects of Merkel's tenure on gender equality, the chapters in this volume assess policy output and outcom...

The Flu Pandemic of 1918-1919
Within the framework of a global political and sanitarian crisis that broke out in March 2020, this book proposes a new contemporary look at the great pandemic of the 20th century, the Spanish flu of 1918-1919. Based on its impact in Spain, the book offers a comparative and transatlantic perspective focused on the political and cultural impact of the pandemic in Europe and Latin America. The book focuses on three aspects: the overwhelming presence of influenza between 1918 and 1920, its oblivion and its political and cultural traces in the interwar decades and even more, and its reappearance in the face of the COVID-19. These three aspects are interconnected through a comparative analysis of the crisis of liberalism and democracy of the 1920s and 1930s and the current populist wave that is affecting the world. As such, this book is of great value to those interested in social and medical history across Europe and Latin America through offering a fresh outlook on the effects of the pandemic of the 20th century in the wake of the COVID pandemic that swept across the world.
Demographie als Herausforderung für den öffentlichen Sektor
Demographischer Wandel ist ein zentrales Zukunftsproblem. Vorhersagen prognostizieren dem öffentlichen Sektor aufgrund demographischer Entwicklungen eine Überalterung der Arbeitskräfte, Facharbeitermangel, verschlechternde Haushalte und eine allgemeine Einschränkung des öffentlichen Sektors. Aber werden diese dramatischen Konsequenzen wahr werden? Der Gegenstand des Buches sind soziale Antworten auf Probleme demographischer Alterung am Beispiel des Arbeitsmarktes des öffentlichen Sektors.
Rekonstruktion des Politischen
Schon kurz nach dem staatlichen Ende der UdSSR zeigte die Debatte um Francis Fukuyamas These vom "Ende der Geschichte", dass sich die Wahrnehmung der Politikgeschichte grundlegend verändert hatte. Man nahm an, die Demokratie würde sich allerorts durchsetzen. Als rund 30 Jahre später der russische Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine begann, war diese Annahme im gesamten Westen so weit verbreitet, dass führende englischsprachige Einführungen in die Geschichtswissenschaft die politische Geschichte überhaupt nicht mehr berücksichtigten. Die von Rolf-Ulrich Kunze vorgelegte Bilanz der Politikgeschichte zielt darauf ab, ihre Relevanz als Orientierungswissenschaft für das politische Handeln in Frieden und Krieg, in Demokratie und Diktatur, innerer und äußerer Politik wieder sichtbar zu machen. Er zeigt auch das Verhältnis zu anderen universellen Betrachtungsweisen auf.
