Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, West Germany was considered to be
one of the world's most successful economic and political systems.
In his seminal 1987 analysis of West Germany's 'semisovereign'
system of governance, Peter Katzenstein attributed this success to
a combination of a fragmented polity, consensus politics and
incremental policy changes. However, unification in 1990 has both
changed Germany's institutional configuration and created economic
and social challenges on a huge scale. This volume therefore asks
whether semisovereignty still exists in contemporary Germany and,
crucially, whether it remains an asset in terms of addressing these
challenges. By shadowing and building on the original study, an
eminent team of British, German and American scholars analyses
institutional changes and the resulting policy developments in key
sectors, with Peter Katzenstein himself providing the conclusion.
Together, the chapters provide a landmark assessment of the
outcomes produced by one of the world's most important countries.
