In the thirties Jung was at the height of his powers and found himself swept up in the international politics of his day. At this time he was president of what was to become the International General Medical Society for Psychotherapy. As a consequence of Hitler's rise, Jung and his ideas were placed in the centre of a whirlwind of theoretical and political controversy. These chaotic times led him to comment widely on political events and saw his most extensive attempt to explain these events in terms of his theories of the collective and his use of the archetype of Wotan to explain Nazi Germany. This work is part of the ongoing reappraisal of the intellectual fabric of Jung's theory and the perspective he sought to establish, and seeks to re-examine the period, to unravel some of the confusion by setting out the historical background of Jung's ideas, and provide a fresh debate on Jung and his collective theory.

This paper is dedicated to the analysis of the configuration of government/opposition relations in unified Germany. It seeks to assess the impact of institutional, political as well as more situational factors on the relationship between the two key actors of the parliamentary arena. In the concluding section, the performance of government and opposition during the 1990s will additionally be judged against the background of the basic normative considerations concerning the most important institutional and functional division in parliamentary democracies.
This practical introduction to German politics from 1945 has summaries of key points, a guide to further reading and a range of seminar questions for discussion.

The German coalition government by the Social Democrats and the Greens is preparing to introduce a second crucial reform concerning the immigrant population. After the 1999 reform of the nationality law, Germany is taking another step towards modelling a comprehensive and long expected organised immigration policy, concluding for the first time officially that Germany is not only a country of immigration, but to state that further immigration is needed. Yet, while citizenship politics in Germany is departing from old ethnic conceptions with the possibility for immigrant children to acquire citizenship by birth and a reduction of the requirements for naturalisation, policies for (labour) migration still remain in an attitude known from the past: immigrants are only "wanted" if they fit to the structural needs of the labour market and the economy. Thus, the planned immigration law is in danger to repeat the failure of former guest-worker policies when treating immigrants just as workers. German immigration policy seems to remain a purely selective mechanism in the global contest for the best qualified labour migrants ; El gobierno de coalición alemán de los socialdemócratas y los verdes se está preparando para introducir una segunda reforma crucial sobre la población inmigrante. Después de la reforma de la ley de nacionalidad de 1999, Alemania está dando un paso más hacia el modelado, largamente esperado, de una política de inmigración organizada e integral, concluyendo de esta manera, por primera vez oficialmente, que Alemania no es solo un país de inmigración, sino que además se afirma que se necesita más inmigración. Sin embargo, mientras que la política de ciudadanía en Alemania se aleja de viejas concepciones étnicas, con la posibilidad de que los niños inmigrantes adquieran la ciudadanía por nacimiento y una reducción de los requisitos de adaptación, las políticas laborales de emigración aún permanecen en una actitud conocida del pasado, ya que los inmigrantes solo son "requeridos", si se ajustan a las necesidades estructurales del mercado laboral y de la economía. Por lo tanto, la ley de inmigración planeada está en peligro de repetir el fracaso de las antiguas políticas de trabajadores extranjeros al tratar a los inmigrantes solamente como trabajadores. La política de inmigración alemana parece seguir siendo un mecanismo puramente selectivo en la competencia mundial para los trabajadores inmigrantes mejor cualificados.

THERE IS NO SINGLE PREVALENT 'MODERN SCHOOL OF POLITICS' IN GERMANY. TERRITORIAL FRAGMENTATION IN THE FEDERAL SYSTEM AND PILLARIZATIONOF POLITICAL SUBCULTURES AND INTELLECTUAL CAMPS HAVE IMPACTED ON ORGANIZATION OF POLITICAL SCIENCE IN GERMANY SINCE WORLD WAR II. IN WEST GERMANY, POLITICAL SCIENCE WAS ESTABLISHED RELATIVELY LATE. THE AUTHOR OUTLINES METHODOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS, EDUCATION, AND POLITICS.

The tradition of legalism continues to influence German politics, generating a corollary propensity toward judicial resolutions of political disputes. Appeal to the Federal Constitutional Court, established after World War II, has been used increasingly as a weapon of political opposition. Despite self-restraint vis-a-vis the political authorities, the Court has sometimes construed basic rights expansively as 'participatory' rights to positive government action. Recently it has been criticized for conservatism & a tendency to restrict future legislative discretion. While the 'politicalization of justice' resulting from the judicialization of politics could reduce respect for the Court's authority, it could also foster a healthier relationship between politics & the law.
