Policy Analysis in Germany
This comprehensive study, part of the International Library of Policy Analysis, brings together for the first time a systemic overview of policy analysis activities in Germany. Written by leading experts in the field – including informed practitioners – it outlines the development of the discipline, identifies its role in academic education and research, and examines its styles and methods. The book also focuses on the role of policy analysis for governments and parliaments, for parties, social partners, and interest groups. By offering a rich and timely analysis of policy analysis in Germany, this book is a valuable resource for academic exchange and for teaching, particularly in the fields of political science, social sciences, economics and geography. Moreover, by its broad, comprehensive understanding of ‘policy analysis’, the book will be of practical relevance and shape the debate for the future development of policy analysis in Germany and the different spheres where it is practised.
Foreign Actors’ Influence on Azerbaijan’s Energy Policy
The author traces several energy policy decisions taken between 2006 and 2013 in Azerbaijan to find out how international actors tried to influence policy-making. The book facilitates understanding of the political mechanisms, threats and opportunities that characterize activities in Azerbaijan’s energy sector illustrating strategic pitfalls and chances. Based on a detailed country analysis and the in depth comparison of four policy cases, the book deduces the political elite’s rationale, and its practical consequences for transnational relations. It is relevant for scholars studying the political economy of rentier states and regimes in the authoritarian realm, as well as for young strategists in organizations that conduct business in countries dominated by tight informal networks.

Partizipation in der Piratenpartei
Die Piratenpartei hat sich selbst auf die Fahnen geschrieben, eine besonders basis - demokratische Partei zu sein. Tatsächlich bietet sie mehr Möglichkeiten zur Partizipation als jede andere Partei. Allerdings werden diese kaum genutzt. Warum? Der Autor untersucht die Faktoren, die das Funktionieren der Beteiligungsmöglichkeiten sowie die Partizipation an sich hemmen, und kommt zu dem Schluss, dass vor allem soziale Ungleichheiten eine Rolle spielen. Ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Debatte um die Demokratisierung von Parteien.
Landesvaterdemokratie
Matthias Klein untersucht auf Basis des akteurzentrierten Institutionalismus die Regierungstechniken der beiden rheinland-pfälzischen Ministerpräsidenten Bernhard Vogel und Kurt Beck.

Der Autor stellt politische Innenansichten von Landtag, Staatskanzlei und Parteizentralen in Rheinland-Pfalz vor. Er zeigt, dass Ministerpräsidenten große Spielräume haben, wie sie ihr Amt ausüben.
