englischThe fifth volume in this six-volume collection of Otto Kirchheimer’s (1905–1965) works is entitled Politische Systeme im Nachkriegseuropa (Political Systems in post-war Europe) and contains 34 works by Kirchheimer, published between 1950 and 1967, on changes to political orders in modern industrial societies. Geographically, these studies focus not only on the Federal Republic of Germany but also on developments in other Western European democracies, the USA and the GDR. In these writings, Kirchheimer pays particular attention to changes in the party systems in these countries, the changing role of the parliamentary opposition, the calculated influence of associations and interest groups, the intensification of bureaucracy and the strengthening of the executive, and the political attitudes and expectations of citizens in modern democracies. In addition, this volume contains a comprehensive bibliography of all Kirchheimer’s published works plus a selection of his unpublished writings.

This book will appeal to all those interested in politics, law, contemporary history and sociology.

»Buchstein interpretiert die Aufsätze und Rezensionen, selbst die Briefe sehr kundig und einfühlsam und rundet mit der Einleitung zu diesem Band die Reihe seiner werkbiographischen Einführungen der vorausgegangenen Bände ab.«
Prof. em Dr. Peter Steinbach, ZfP 2/2021, 211
