The German Election of 2005 - Voters, Parties and Grand Coalition Politics (Hardcover, New)

The election of 2005 changed Germany's political 'landscape'. The
combined share of the vote gained by the two major parties fell
below 70 per cent, eliminating the option of a coalition between
one of the two major parties (Christian Democrats and Social
Democrats) with one of the smaller parties - the traditional
pattern of government that had dominated German post-war politics
since the late 1950s. The election resulted in the first national
'Grand Coalition' of the two major parties since 1969. While some
have seen this government, elected in November 2005 and headed by
the Christian Democrat Angela Merkel, as the symptom of a crisis of
the traditional post-war German party system, others have
highlighted the opportunities it opens up for constitutional and
policy reform as Merkel's 'Grand Coalition' controls an
overwhelming majority of the votes in both houses of the German
legislature. The German Election of 2005 analyses the road to the
2005 election and provide in-depth studies of the campaign and
candidates, of voting behaviour and immediate consequences of the
election, with contributions from leading experts from Germany, the
United Kingdom and the United States. The findings are informed by
theoretical and empirical work in the comparative study of parties
and elections offering a nuanced, empirically rich picture of
continuity and change in German electoral politics.
