Superwahljahr

The elections in 1994 in Germany gave rise to the word "superwahljahr" ("super-election year"). In addition to the election of a new Bundestag in October, there was a presidential election, elections to the European Parliament and elections for seven Lander parliaments. This book provides a set of analyses of those elections. British and German contributors examine the effects of the elections of 1994 on the party system and consider the ways in which party organization in the former German Democratic republic affected electoral behaviour there.
