Content and concept

The lecture offers a systematic introduction to the system of government of the Federal Republic of Germany in a European context. With the help of relevant concepts and theories of comparative politics, the structure and functioning of political institutions as well as the process of political decision-making are analysed. In addition, we deal with the political system of the EU and discuss the question of the extent to which one can still speak of "German domestic politics" in view of the progressing European integration.

Es besteht zudem die Möglichkeit, die Klausur auf Deutsch zu schreiben. Weitere Informationen finden Sie im Seminarplan.
