German Politics refers to the political system, practices, institutions, and dynamics within Germany. It encompasses the structure of government, political parties, electoral processes, and policy-making in the country. Germany operates as a federal parliamentary republic, with a Chancellor serving as the head of government and a President fulfilling a ceremonial role as head of state. The Bundestag is the federal parliament, where legislative decisions are made, and parties play a crucial role in shaping policies through elections and coalitions. The political landscape is characterized by a multi-party system, with major parties including the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the Social Democratic Party (SPD), and the Green Party, among others. Additionally, German Politics is influenced by its membership in the European Union, international relations, and historical contexts, notably its post-World War II development and reunification in 1990.
