An illuminating introduction to how the Länder function not only within the country itself but also within the wider context of European political affairs. Looks at the Länder in the constitutional order of the country, and the political and administrative system. Their organization and administration is fully covered, as is their financial administration. The role of parties and elections in the Länder is looked at, and the importance of their parliaments. The first work in the English language that considers the Länder in this depth. 606 $aGovernment 610 $alander 610 $agermany 610 $abundersrat 610 $aBundesrat of Germany 610 $aChristian Democratic Union of Germany 610 $aSocial Democratic Party of Germany 610 $aStates of Germany 615 0$aGovernment. 700 $aGunlicks$b Arthur B.$f1936-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 912 $a9910633953003321 996 $aLänder and German federalism$91802346 997 $aUNINA
