While much has been accomplished, many political, legal, and institutional problems remain. This volume deals with selected aspects of domestic and European policy, political parties, the challenge of direct democracy, and federalism in unified Germany ? all issues that have been the subject of much discussion, political posturing, legislation, and, to some extent, constitutional amendments and court decision for many years, if not decades. In conclusion, a British scholar looks at German federalism and a number of public policy issues from a comparative perspective and arrives at some surprising and encouraging results. 410 0$aPolicies and institutions ;$vv. 5. 606 $aLaw$zGermany 607 $aGermany$xPolitics and government$y1990- 607 $aGermany$xSocial policy 610 $aHistory: 20th Century to Present. 615 0$aLaw 676 $a320/.6/0943 702 $aGunlicks$b Arthur B.$f1936- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809868503321 996 $aGerman public policy and federalism$93947320 997 $aUNINA
