商品簡介
Having produced volumes on the 1994 and 1998 German elections, political scientists based in the US here look at the 2002 election, in which a last-minute swing returned the parties of Gerhard Schroder's government. Scholars in the US and in Germany consider such aspects as who won and why, the unlikely victory of the German Social Democrats, the Greens, the rise and fall of Project 18, German exceptionalism, the deteriorating relationship with the US over the Iraq war, and prospects for fundamental reform of the economy and a return to high employment.
