Die Haltung der FDP zum Kommunitarismus

In: Neue soziale Bewegungen: Forschungsjournal, Band 8, Heft 3, S. 86-88

Abstract

A discussion of the influence of communitarianism on contemporary party politics in Germany argues that the FDP has no position on communitarianism & retains its emphasis on liberalism & market-economic renewal. The party's primary aims are transformation of the economy of the former East Germany, general industrial innovation, & promotion of a lean state through deregulation & decreased bureaucracy. Proponents of communitarianism commonly criticize this agenda as egoistic & economistic, but often agree with the FDP's desire to move away from statism in favor of self-organization. E. Blackwell
