Anderson, Zelle, and their contributors provide in-depth
analyses of electoral trends in Germany--the one country in which
an electorate that had maintained stable democracy after World War
II was enlarged by compatriots who had experienced decades of
socialist rule.
Most of the essays in this book first focus on long-term
developments known to affect electoral change in industrial
societies such as: societal transformations, changes in ideological
thinking, and value change. After establishing if and how these
developments have been taking place in the old Lander, they
investigate whether similar trends can be observed in the eastern
electorate or if the patterns are different. Then, present state
and future prospects of electoral politics in the united Germany
are assessed. In addition, some chapters concentrate on phenomena
visible only in the eastern section in order to investigate causes
and effects of these peculiarities. The editors elaborate on common
themes and assess the findings in light of the author's guiding
questions offered in introductory and concluding chapters. This is
a major resource for students and scholars concerned with German
politics.
