From Bonn to Berlin
Can German democracy endure the stresses of reunification, the challenges of global market forces, and the impact of Europe's intensifying economic and political union? As they examine these difficulties and possible answers, Lewis Edinger and Brigitte Nacos underscore distinct differences and similarities in American and German politics. The first part of the book describes the development and features of German representative democracy: its roo…
From the Bonn to the Berlin Republic
German politics have not attracted much attention in the United States since the fall of the Berlin Wall and other spectacular events marking the end of the cold war. On occasion, there are sensational accounts harking back to the Nazi era, but reports of neo-Nazi activities and renewed religious persecution are misleading, because they tend to ignore that in this day and age politics in Germany are solidly rooted in democratic institutions, beli…
Leadership and Politics
Approaches to the Comparative Analysis of Political Leadership
This article opens with some general observations on outstanding features of the current literature on political leadership, especially in the United States. It then deals briefly with conceptual problems, level of analysis issues, and counter-factual questions. This is followed by a consideration of major modes of analysis for the comparative study of political leadership. The concluding section points up the principal ways to making comparative…

West Germany
West Germany's rise to eminence in international affairs brings to mind a little known variation on the familiar story of the duckling that grew into a majestic swan. The tale concerns a Great Dane that thought itself a little dachshund-and an one to boot-because people refused to take it into their laps and pet it. Then came the day when the creature came across a mirror, realized its true identity, and henceforth played the big dog, looking dow…
The Comparative Analysis of Political Leadership
The study of political leadership appears to be emerging field of political science in the United States after a long period of neglect.1 Only a decade or so ago, comparative studies of the subject by American authors could be served up on a half shelf in most college libraries, and undergraduate courses and texts gave it relatively scant attention. Today, in contrast, the interested student is confronted by a virtual embarrassment of riches; eli…
Where Are the Political Superstars
I used to go to the theater with an elderly aunt. Whenever I expressed my delight with a performance she would sigh and tell me that it was mediocre compared to what she had seen in her younger days. At first I listened with respect for the wisdom of experience, but before long I became increasingly vexed and eventually stopped paying any attention to her. My good aunt, I came to feel, could not appreciate what took place in front of her, for she…
Conditions for military control over foreign policy decisions in major states
The potential or actual use of force against other states is a key element in the conduct of foreign relations. In peace as well as in war military leaders tend to participate to a greater or lesser extent in the making of foreign policy decisions. On their own initiative or that of civilian leaders, the men whose professional task it is to provide for the maximal utilization of the military instrument by a country's authoritative leaders become …
Grass-Roots Electoral Politics in the German Federal Republic
For the sixth time in the twenty-year history of the German Federal Republic, a new Bundestag was elected on September 28, 1969. Thirteen parties competed for representation in the popularly elected lower house of the federal parliament, but only three achieved it. The Christian Democrats (CDU/CSU), the strongest party since 1949, maintained this position by winning a plurality of 46.1 percent of the votes and 242 of the 496 Bundestag seats. The …

Social Background in Elite Analysis
This paper attempts to comment empirically upon certain assumptions about the relationship between social background patterns and attitudinal patterns in elite analysis. All political systems are more or less stratified and their elites constitute that minority of participating actors which plays a strategic role in public policy making. As the incumbents of such key positions they have a far greater influence than the masses in structuring and g…

Military Leaders and Foreign Policy-Making
A survey of the literature of the last decade in the burgeoning interdisciplinary field which has come to be known-rather imprecisely-as civil-military relations, reveals a large number of descriptive and prescriptive, operational and theoretical studies, but little unity of focus or method. The interested shopper finds himself in a veritable department store filled with a wide assortment-including those in the bargain basement. Spurred on by war…

Electoral Politics and Voting Behavior in Western Germany
Voting has become truly an interdisciplinary object of investigation in recent years. Historians, statisticians, social psychologists, sociologists, and political scientists have focused their attention on electoral behavior, individually or in teams. Such studies have been principally the work of scholars in the traditional Western democracies—Britain, France, Norway, Sweden, the United States—and fall roughly into three patterns. One approach h…

Post-Totalitarian Leadership
A good deal has been heard in recent years concerning the "liberation" of peoples living under totalitarian rule, but the question of who are the men who succeed to the leadership of a state after the fall of its totalitarian rulers has received relatively little attention. Such observations as have been made on the subject, whether by political opponents of a totalitarian regime or by professional social scientists, have tended to follow implici…

German Social Democracy and Hitler's “National Revolution” of 1933
The comparative ease with which authoritarian groups have come to power in nations where large parties stood pledged to defend the democratic order to the bitter end has become one of the most disturbing elements in modern world politics. Such developments have brought into question the validity of accepted liberal-democratic norms governing the behavior of responsible leaders, both in the domestic opposition to the authoritarian regime and in fo…
