The West German Social Democrats, 1969–1982: Profile of a Party in Power
The fall of the West German government in 1982 ended the 13-year rule of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) as the senior coalition partner under Chancellors Willy Brandt and Helmut Schmidt. In perpetual opposition from 1949 to 1966, the Social Democrats finally entered the government as the junior coalition party in 1966; three years later they assumed primary responsibility for guiding the nation. The central theme of this detailed examination o…
The German Social Democrats Since 1969: A Party in Power and Opposition
This thoroughly revised edition of The West German Social Democrats, 1969-1982: Profile of a Party in Power contrasts the period during which the SPD was in power with its role since 1982 as an opposition party. Even though it was the senior party in the coalition governments of chancellors Willy Brandt and Helmut Schmidt, it did not have the influence on domestic and foreign policy in the 1970s that it had hoped for. Nevertheless, it achieved in…

Right-Extremism in Germany: Recruitment of New Members
Much has been written about German right-extremist groups, regardless of whether they are neo-Nazi political parties or skinheads, but little has been published about their recruitment of new members and sympathizers. As is true of any group, the rightist movement needs constantly TO replenish its ranks in order not to shrink. Thus, they seek recruits in the high school and university student populations. In the latter, they have wooed members of…
Right-Wing Extremism in Contemporary Germany

The SPD, the Welfare State, and Agenda 2010
The German Social Democratic Party (SPD) celebrated its 140 yearsof existence on 23 May 2003 with the appropriate fanfare in Berlin.Not too many other political parties in the world can match this survivalrecord, especially given the hostility of Chancellor Bismarck,who in 1878 outlawed the fledgling party as an organization fortwelve years, and of Adolf Hitler, who in 1933 drove the party intoexile for twelve years. During the post-World War II …
The 1998 German Election: Gerhard Schröder and the Politics of the New Middle
How prophetic! Could it be that the famous German pacifist and chief editor of Die Weltbühne was commenting seventy years ago not just on the Weimar SPD but also on the Bonn SPD of 1998? Gerhard Schröder, the party's chancellor designate in April 1998, insisted that the SPD had to occupy the "New Middle" in the political spectrum if it ever was going to topple Helmut Kohl and his well-entrenched CDU/CSU-FDP government
The German Predicament: Memory and Power in the New Europe
What does the unification of Germany really mean? In their stimulating exploration of that question, Andrei S. Markovits and Simon Reich sketch diametrically different interpretations than are frequently offered by commentators. One is that Germany, well aware of the Holocaust, has been 'Europeanized' and is now prepared to serve as the capitalist and democratic locomotive that powers Europe. The other is that the proclivities behind Auschwitz ha…
Opposition in the Kohl era: The SPD and the left
This article examines the parliamentary role of the opposition parties in the Kohl era. In the Bundestag, from 1983 on, the SPD and the Greens ‐ joined by the PDS after 1990 ‐challenged, with little expectation of success, those domestic and foreign policies of the government with which they disagreed. When the SPD and its coalition partners in the Lander gained control of the Bundesrat in the 1990s, they were able to delay or block legislation a…

The 1989 Basic Program of the German Social Democratic Party
The Social Democratic Party of Germany has adopted a new basic program in every generation. In the late 1970s, its leaders realized that the reformist Godesberg Program of 1959 needed to be updated and renewed. There followed years of preparatory work and many intra-party clashes, but in December 1989 a special convention in Berlin accepted the program, which gives the party a left-of-center base and serves as a guidepost for its attempt to regai…

The West German social democrats: Factionalism at the local level
The West German Social Democratic Party was catapulted out of power in October 1982 partly because of its deep‐rooted factionalism which compounded Chancellor Schmidt's difficulties with the Free Democratic coalition ally. To understand the factionalism that has engulfed the SPD since the late 1960s two cities, Munich and Frankfurt, were selected as typical of the problems confronting the party during its years of governance at the national level…

The Policy Function of the German Social Democratic Party
The dramatic resignation of West German Chancellor Willy Brandt and the accession to power of Helmut Schmidt in May 1974 focused international attention on the politics of the Federal Republic. Would the sudden switch in the chancellorship from the leader of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) to his deputy leader produce a major reversal of policy, or merely a subtle change in the style of governance? While the latter alternative seemed the more r…

The 1976 West German Election Campaign
The electoral tide in European countries has been running of late against incumbent governments irrespective of their political coloration as a result of intractable economic and social problems. The 1976 West German elections seem to confirm this trend. Although the Social Democratic-Free Democratic coalition continues to provide the government, the electoral losses of both parties were considerable. The "nonissue" character of the campaign, as …
