Organizing Democracy in Eastern Germany: Interest Groups in Post-Communist Society

<p>This book examines the emergence and functioning of interest groups in post-communist society, an issue central to democratic transformation. Although the focus is on eastern Germany, comparisons are made throughout with the other countries of eastern and central Europe. Analysis of a number of interest groups, notably trade unions, business groups and professional associations, is set against the background of pluralist political theory. Stephen Padgett argues that the pattern of collective action in post-communist society falls short of the pluralist ideal, and examines the implications for both East and West.</p>

A History of Social Democracy in Postwar Europe (The Postwar World)

"The Post War World" is a series aiming to provide a scholarly but readable account of the way our world has been shaped in the crowded years since World War II. Some volumes deal with regions, or even single nations, others with important themes: all are written by expert historians drawing on the latest scholarship as well as their own research and judgements. The series should be particularly welcome to students, but is designed also for the general reader with an interest in contemporary history. "A Historical of Social Democracy in Post War Europe" surveys the European experience of social democracy from its late 19th century origins and examines in detail its fortunes since 1945. The text looks both individually and comparatively at the social democratic parties of the different European countries and evaluates the impact of social democracy when in power to see whether it has achieved social and economic reform by parliamentary means. All major European states and parties are included in the study and it assumes only a general knowledge of the subject, making it accessible to the general reader. It is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students of history of modern Europe, European politics and comparative politics as well as the informed general reader.

"Developments in German Politics 3" provides authoritative coverage and wide ranging analysis of politics and policy in the Federal Republic in the 21st century, including the implications of the 2002 federal elections and of its role in Europe and the wider world. Bringing together entirely new chapters by leading authorities, carefully edited to form a well integrated and balanced text, it should be useful reading for students and anyone interested in contemporary European politics.
