Programme in English: Understanding Germany 2 - The Political System

Germany can seem quite confusing - and not just at first glance. This course offers an insight into the political system of today's Germany. We start by clarifying the basic structures and rules of the Federal Republic and its "Länder" - as well as formative cultural patterns. This enables us to take a look at relevant political forces, parties and personalities. Thus, we can discuss how German politics work (and where it may lead).

Participation is possible without having attended the first part of the course.
