Neue politische Akteure und ihr Effekt auf die Politik in Thüringen

Thuringia is emerging from a difficult situation in which it proved impossible to form a government majority. The state elections in September will decide whether this will continue to be the case or whether completely new coalition models will be tried out. The local elections and the election of members of the European Parliament will provide the first indications of how the balance of power between the parties in Thuringia will develop. However, it is important to bear in mind that both the European and local levels have their own special characteristics. There is much to suggest that Thuringia will continue to be a field of political experimentation.

The first speaker in this summer semester's lecture series is Professor Torsten Oppelland, head of the Comparative Government Department at Friedrich Schiller University Jena. The event is open to the public and admission is free. However, registration is required.
