German-Turkish relations, which have a long history and generally unrecognized depth, have rarely been examined as mutually formative processes. Isolated instances of influence have been examined in detail, but the historical and still ongoing processes of mutual interaction have rarely been seriously considered. The ruling assumption has been that Germany may have an impact on Turkey, but not the other way around. Religion, Identity and Politics examines this mutual interaction, specifically with regard to religious identities and institutions. It opposes the commonly held ass.
Hydraulic fracturing has been practiced in Germany for decades, and several attempts have been made to legalize and regulate new drilling methods, which eventually led to the approval of a law to effectively ban this activity in 2016. In this study, we explore the characteristics of the German political debate on hydraulic fracturing. Our explanatory model, which is grounded in the advocacy coalition framework, is based on two arguments. First, the uncertainty surrounding the use and effects of hydraulic fracturing prompts opponents to argue for the use of the precautionary principle, which is typically invoked in German political discourse when effects are highly uncertain. Second, party competition takes place at the federal as well as the federal states level. The blurring of party competition boundaries typically leads to highly volatile advocacy coalitions.
