Summary

Using German political parties as a prism with which to view institutional change, this collection transcends a single country focus and places the German experience in a comparative and historical framework. Evaluating the performance of the German parties and party system in dealing with problems of integration and legitimation common to all industrialized democracies, it presents a sharp analysis of the effects and incompleteness of German unification.

Author Biography

Christopher S. Allen received his Ph.D. in Politics from Brandeis University. He is an Associate Professor at the University of Georgia where he teaches courses in comparative politics and political economy.
