Course Description:
This lecture introduces into the political system of Germany and the scholarly literature about it. This literature provides different perspectives, ranging from game-theoretical illustrations of major turning points in the history of the German political system, the constitutional foundations, the vertical and horizontal separation of powers to the comparative empirical evaluation of basic political features and developments. To understand the political system of Germany, students should have interest in analytical theory and methodology. They should meet three conditions:
• Firstly, knowledge of the basic literature in comparative politics;
• Secondly, knowledge of the historical principles and features of the BRD;
• Thirdly, high interest political science research, which goes beyond German political narratives
