Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sarah Elise Wiliarty develops the concept of the corporatist catch-all party to explain how the German Christian Democratic Union has responded to changing demands from women over the past forty years"--. "This book develops the concept of the corporatist catch-all party to explain how the German Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has responded to changing demands from women over the past forty years. Otto Kirchheimer's classic study argues that when catch-all parties reach out to new constituencies, they are forced to decrease the involvement of membership to facilitate doctrinal flexibility. In a corporatist catch-all party, however, societal interests are represented within the party organization and policy making is the result of internal party negotiation. Through an investigation of CDU policy making in the issue areas of abortion policy, work-family policy, and participation policy, this book demonstrates that sometimes the CDU mobilizes rather than disempowers membership. An important lesson of this study is that a political party need not sacrifice internal democracy and ignore its members in order to succeed at the polls"--

Book Synopsis Understanding the Transformation of Germany’s CDU by : Simon Green
Download or read book Understanding the Transformation of Germany’s CDU written by Simon Green and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU), one of Europe’s most successful and influential political parties. The CDU might have been expected to struggle in the circumstances of a more diverse, secular reunified Germany, yet it has prospered to an extent almost unparalleled in western Europe. Chapters consider the CDU’s policies (the factors driving them, their variation across Germany, the relationship to women, and the welfare state), its organisational development and change, and its position within the party system. Contributors particularly emphasise the diversity of the CDU, and the way it varies across Germany’s regions. The CDU is compared to other Christian Democratic parties, and special consideration is given to the CDU’s Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU). This book was published as a special issue of German Politics.
Book Synopsis Leading from Behind by : Petra Ahrens
Download or read book Leading from Behind written by Petra Ahrens and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-26 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes stock of German gender equality in several policy fields after 16 years of governments led by Angela Merkel and her conservative Christian Democratic Party (CDU). While maintaining its status as an economic engine in Europe, Germany has historically been a laggard in adopting gender equality measures. The European Gender Equality Index, however, now ranks Germany relatively high and shows substantial progress since 2005. While this has gone mostly unnoticed, Germany has passed far-reaching legislation in major policy fields relevant for gender equality. Investigating the effects of Merkel's tenure on gender equality, the chapters in this volume assess policy output and outcomes with a focus on internal power dynamics in Germany, as well as international and European Union (EU)-level pressures in the policy domains of political representation, LGBTI rights, migration, the labor market, and care. It examines how policy measures introduced by conservative governments affect gender norms and gender culture, and if they ultimately lead to effective implementation and greater equality. The book argues that Merkel often led “from behind,” indirectly facilitating claims-making instead of proactively pushing them. This nonetheless contributed to transformative change in Germany, by Merkel not blocking policy proposals and allowing civil society groups and rival parties to push many progressive gender policies. Leading from Behind: Gender Equality in Germany During the Merkel Era is a fascinating read for students, researchers, and academics interested in European politics, political leadership, gender equality and LGBTI politics. This book was originally published as a special issue of German Politics.
Book Synopsis The Legacy of the CDU/CSU Union Parties in Germany - A Study of Human Rights Violations, Ethnocentrism and National Socialist Resurgence in the Federal Republic of Germany by : Dr. Mark O'Doherty
Download or read book The Legacy of the CDU/CSU Union Parties in Germany - A Study of Human Rights Violations, Ethnocentrism and National Socialist Resurgence in the Federal Republic of Germany written by Dr. Mark O'Doherty and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 4,000 attacks have occurred among foreigners in Germany since 2015, some involving the use of molotov cocktails, baseball bats and armed neo-Nazis even raiding children's rooms. Media equivocation and a failure to prosecute hate crimes has made Germany's far-right even stronger - such as the far-right AfD Party. For the sake of upholding Germany's integrity, virtue and respect in the international community, the CDU/CSU Union needs to bring Germany's far-right back in line; by encouraging the German people - from all political parties - to muster up the 'Zivilcourage' to combat hate crimes in the country. Critical, but also deeply sensitive and humane, this book explores social scientific and ethical approaches, so that human dignity, peace and harmony can be restored in Germany. Social challenges - such as abuse of power, social inequality and Islamophobia - are also explored in this work.

Book Synopsis Gender Equality in Politics by : Petra Ahrens
Download or read book Gender Equality in Politics written by Petra Ahrens and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-16 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a timely and unique contribution to current debates on how effectively voluntary party quotas address the persistent underrepresentation of women in legislatures. Using a most similar case design and a mixed-methods approach, the authors draw attention to the ways in which electoral systems and party regulations interface with voluntary party quotas in Germany and Austria. All quota parties in these countries support the goal of equal participation of women and men in elected office, and quotas are presented as a means to precisely that end. In order to assess parties’ commitment to their declared goals, and the effectiveness of quotas, the book introduces the concept of the post-quota gender gap and defines it as the difference between a party’s adopted quota and the actual share of women in legislative bodies at the national and regional level. Complementing the existing literature on recruitment and socio-cultural legacies, the authors argue that the problem of voluntary party quotas lies at the intersection of party quota design and electoral law. Either parties need to design quotas that actually work within a given electoral system, or we need legislative action geared toward advancing parity not just in candidate selection, but in the composition of legislatures. The book draws on gendered candidate and election data, on the party statutes of federal and state-level party organizations, and on interviews with party officials and party women’s organizations.

Book Synopsis Gender, Intersections, and Institutions by : Louise K. Davidson-Schmich

This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germany serves as a case study of when and how members of intersectional groups—individuals belonging to two or more disadvantaged social categories—capture the attention of policymakers, and what happens when they do. This edited volume identifies three venues through which intersectional groups are able to form alliances and generate policy discussions regarding their concerns. Original empirical case studies focus on a wide range of timely subjects, including the intersexed, gender and disability rights, lesbian parenting, women working in STEM fields, workers’ rights in feminized sectors, women in combat, and Muslim women and girls.
Book Synopsis The Interplay Between Gender, Markets and the State in Sweden, Germany and the United States by : Lilja Mosesdottir
Download or read book The Interplay Between Gender, Markets and the State in Sweden, Germany and the United States written by Lilja Mosesdottir and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. The development of gender relations during the post-war period in Sweden, Germany and the US forms the core of this work. It looks at the hierarchical relations between men and women based on economic, political, social and biological differentiations. The analytical focus is primarily on how actors, cultural norms and institutional arrangements interrelate and affect the relative position of men and women to create patterns/forms of gender relations that vary across countries and change through time. The main advantages of a comparative study is that it highlights the differences and similarities of the countries being compared. This book argues that social blocks involving a stable system of relations that have challenged and become embedded into institutional arrangements are the main force creating differences in the patterns of gender relations across the countries.

Book Synopsis Triumph of the Fatherland by : Brigitte F. Young
Download or read book Triumph of the Fatherland written by Brigitte F. Young and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-05-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The East German uprising of 1989 was not a male revolution. Indeed, one of the most significant aspects of the fall of East Germany, compared to that of other East European nations, was the presence of women demanding a political role in the newly emerging social order. As one slogan proclaimed, "Without Women There Is No State." Yet despite the determination of these women--and of West German feminist groups--to help shape the future of the German state, their influence remained, in the end, very limited. In Triumph of the Fatherland, political scientist Brigitte Young draws on in-depth interviews, archival sources, newspapers, and her own observations from 1989 to 1991 to study the goals, strategies, and eventual fate of the German women's movements during this tumultuous period. Young focuses on the relationship between the state and its citizenry, outlining the mobilization of women in four states: the East German and West German states before unification; the "stateless state" in East Germany after the collapse of the Wall, and the West German state during unification. Ultimately she finds that the political opportunity structures opened during the "stateless state" closed again with unification, resulting in what Young calls "double gender marginalization." Brigitte Young is Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, Otto-Suhr-Institute, Free University Berlin, Germany.
