Dear Colleague,
We are proud to announce the latest issue of German Politics and
Society has just been published by Berghahn Journals. This special
issue, edited by Ingolfur Blühdorn, focuses on the German Parties
before 2009´s Bundestag Election. In the first article, Udo Zolleis
discusses the CDU´s reorientation as the pragmatic "party of the center
ground." Christoph Egle provides a detailed analysis of the SPD´s
electoral decline since the 2005 federal election. Ingolfur Blühdorn
shows how Alliance 90/The Greens have placed their strategic emphasis
on programmatic renewal and reconnecting to their membership. Rolf
Steltemeier then explores how the FDP has moved from being a liberal
party in the traditional sense to a market-liberal party. Dan Hough and
Michael Koß cover the new entrant at the far left end of the German
party spectrum. Finally, Frank Decker and Lazaros Miliopoulos
investigate the far Right in the German party system focusing in
particular on the right wing extremist National Democratic Party (NPD).
