Back to Black-Red: The Development of the German Party System before and after the 2025 Federal Election
The federal election of February 2025, triggered by the collapse of the traffic light coalition in November 2024, resulted in a marked rise in support for parties that are critical of, or openly hostile to, the political system. While the cdu / csu under newly elected Chancellor Friedrich Merz benefited only marginally from its position in opposition, it was the right-wing extremist AfD that capitalized most, nearly doubling its vote share and em…
Vertrauen und Demokratie tief im Westen – politische Kultur im Ruhrgebiet
Das Ruhrgebiet stellt als urban verdichtete Wirtschaftsregion mit einer industriellen Vergangenheit und einem nur teilweise erfolgreichen Strukturwandel einen spannenden Untersuchungsfall für die politische Kulturforschung dar. Es besteht zudem eine soziale Kluft zwischen wohlhabenden Städten und Wohngegenden im Norden im Vergleich zu ärmeren Gegenden im Süden der Autobahn A40. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht dieser Beitrag das Ausmaß und die E…
Aufstand der Außenseiter: Die Herausforderung der europäischen Politik durch den neuen Populismus
Rechtspopulismus, Rechtsextremismus und sogar Rechtsterrorismus sind in Europa heute längst wieder politische Realität. Fast überall hat sich die äußere Rechte in unterschiedlichen Formen und unterschiedlicher Stärke institutionalisiert, in einigen Ländern bestimmt sie die Regierungspolitik mit. Was macht die rechten Phänomene aus, und wie lässt sich ihr Bedeutungszuwachs erklären? Wie stellen sie sich in den einzelnen Ländern dar? Welche Rolle s…
Wilhelm Lautenbach’s credit mechanics – a precursor to the current money supply debate
This article assesses the theory of credit mechanics within the context of the current money supply debate. Credit mechanics and related approaches were developed by a group of German monetary economists during the 1920s-1960s. Credit mechanics overcomes a one-sided, bank-centric view of money creation, which is often encountered in monetary theory. We show that the money supply is influenced by the interplay of loan creation and repayment rates;…
The Monetary Union of Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom – Its Operation, Fragmentation and Break-up
This article examines the monetary arrangements between Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom from the 1820s to the 1930s. It is argued that the three countries formed a monetary union for most of this period. A new analysis of inland and London exchange rates demonstrates that the union achieved a high degree of uniformity and stability, and that an international branch network of competing, private banks could successfully integrate vas…
From the Eternal Grand Coalition to the Traffic Light Alliance: The German Party System before and after the 2021 Federal Election
The first German election without Angela Merkel as a candidate in over one and a half decades would turn out to be one of the most unpredictable in the history of the Federal Republic. For most of the election year, a conservative Green alliance appeared the most likely outcome, potentially even with a Green chancellor at its head. However, the final months of campaigning showcased the volatility of the increasingly fragmented party system and th…

Coalition Politics in Crisis
The 2017 federal election illustrated the transformation of Germany's political party system with six parties managing to enter the Bundestag. With the Christian and Social Democrats finally coming to an agreement almost half a year after the election, a grand coalition is set to govern for two consecutive terms for the very first time. The Alternative for Germany's success also signaled the definite parliamentary establishment of right-wing popu…

Until 2013, right-wing populist or extremist parties were unable to establish themselves as a relevant political force in Germany.

Follow-up to the Grand Coalition: The German Party System before and after the 2013 Federal Election
The recent federal elections refuted a number of established hypotheses on the development of the German party system and contradicted the electoral strategies of nearly all parties involved. The outcome was neither a further fragmentation of the parliamentary landscape nor the unavoidable establishment of a grand coalition. On the contrary, in most cases, the respective parties failed as a result of their own mistakes in selecting adequate campa…

Governance beyond the nation-state. Reflections on the democratic deficit of the European Union
Many suggestions for an institutional improvement of European decision-making are based on the parliamentary model of government existing in the national member states. The widespread notion of 'democratic deficit' plays down the difficulties that will almost inevitably arise when transferring democracy from the national to the European level. Although the European Union has many features of a parliamentary federal state, it lacks a democratic fo…

Populism on Difficult Terrain: The Right- and Left-Wing Challenger Parties in the Federal Republic of Germany
Right-wing populist parties in Germany were unable to benefit from the success of their counterparts in neighbouring Western European states from the mid-1980s. Despite this failure, there were several attempts to establish such a party in Germany. Even the 'centre' of the political spectrum attempted to approach populist structures and content, and this was especially true of the FDP during the 2002 parliamentary election campaign. After a discu…
An Alternative Approach to European Union Democratization: Re-Examining the Direct Election of the Commission President
A successful reform of any system of governance must be well informed of the system's own functional logic. In the context of its democratization, this article explores whether the institutional arrangement of the European Union has developed or behaves more like a presidential than a parliamentary system. Building on that, the authors re-examine the opportunities and feasibility of realizing that model as a step towards more democracy in Europea…
Looking for Mr. Right? A Comparative Analysis of Parties’ ‘Coalition Statements’ prior to the Federal Elections of 2005 and 2009
Although literature on the topic of coalition formation has become nearly unmanageable and although parties' preferences are always at the centre of related theories, the preferences uttered by parties themselves ('coalition signals') have hardly played a role so far. A symptom of this neglect is the absence of a notional equivalent of the German 'Koalitionsaussage' in the English language. The recently introduced concept of 'pre-electoral coalit…

F oderalismus an der Wegscheide?: Optionen und Perspektiven einer Reform der bundesstaatlichen Ordnung
Der neue Rechtspopulismus
Das Buch berücksichtigt die seit 1999 eingetretenen Entwicklungen, die in mehreren Ländern (Österreich, Italien, Niederlande) zur Regierungsbeteiligung oder -übernahme rechtspopulistischer Parteien geführt haben. In einem weiteren Kapitel wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie der Populismus aus demokratischer sicht bewertet werden muss, ob er eine nützliche Korrektivfunktion erfüllt oder eine Gefahr darstellt
Populismus: Gefahr Für Die Demokratie Oder Nützliches Korrektiv?
Als vor etwa zwanzig Jahren ein neuartiger Typus rechtspopulistischer Parteien in Westeuropa die politische Bühne betrat, war man geneigt, dies als ein kurzfristiges Protestphänomen abzutun, das früher oder später wieder verschwinden würde. Inzwischen finden sich solche Parteien in fast allen europäischen Ländern - auch in den neuen Demokratien Mittelosteuropas. Die meisten von ihnen haben sich in ihren Parteiensystemen dauerhaft etabliert; einig…

Die Verfassung Europas: Perspektiven des Integrationsprojekts
Die Verfassung Europas
Die Europäische Union steht wieder einmal am Scheideweg. So abgegriffen diese Metapher ist, so zutreffend beschreibt sie doch den Zustand der Gemeinschaft, nachdem der Verfassungsvertrag auf dem Brüsseler Gipfel im Juni 2007 nur als Torso gerettet werden konnte. 50 Jahre nach Inkrafttreten der Römischen Verträge bleibt die Bilanz des Integrationsprojektes somit ambivalent: Einerseits trägt die Vergemeinschaftung entscheidend zu Frieden und Wohlst…

From a Five to a Six-Party System? Prospects of the Right-wing Extremist NPD
Right-wing extremist and populist parties operate in a rather difficult social and political environment in Germany, rendering notable electoral success fairly improbable, especially when compared to other European countries. The main reason for this is the continuing legacy of the Nazi past. Nevertheless the neo-Nazi National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD) managed to gain substantial votes in recent Land elections and became the leading force…

Coalitions and Camps in the German Party System after the 2009 Bundestag Election
The recent Bundestag election in Germany warrants consideration for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that the results are indicative of several trends developing since unification and that will continue to play an important, if not ever increasing role in German politics. These developments include the intensifying fragmentation of the German party system and German voters' growing electoral volatility, both of which are hampering t…
