German Politics

German Politics refers to the political system, structures, processes, and activities that take place in Germany. It encompasses the organization of government, the roles of political parties, elections, public policy formulation, and the interaction between federal, state, and local governments. Germany operates as a federal parliamentary republic, where the Chancellor is the head of government and the President serves as the head of state. The political landscape is characterized by a multi-party system, with prominent parties including the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Green Party, and others. German Politics is influenced by its historical context, particularly post-World War II developments, and addresses contemporary issues such as immigration, the European Union, climate change, and economic policies. The political culture in Germany emphasizes democracy, rule of law, and human rights.
