BGA Podcast Series: Understanding Germany

Understanding German Federalism

In this episode, Dr Ed Turner speaks to the BGA about German federalism.

Ed is Reader in Politics at Aston University, Co-Director of the Aston Centre for Europe and a Research Fellow of the Foreign Policy Centre. He is particularly interested in German politics, especially political parties and federalism, and also politics in the UK and in comparative perspective. Ed wrote his doctorate about the impact of political parties on public policy at the sub-national level in Germany. He is acting Chair of the International Association for the Study of German Politics.

As the BGA is a politically neutral organisation, the views expressed in this conversation do not reflect those of the British-German Association.
