Federalism, Bureaucracy, and Party Politics in Western Germany

This is one of the few works in any language to concentrate on the Bundesrat, the upper house of the German Federal Republic. By studying a series of legislative case histories of bills presented between 1949 and 1960, Pinney assesses the role of party politics in maintaining three persistent characteristics of the Bundesrat.

Originally published in 1966.
