The book is an output-orientated analysis of the decision-making process in Germany ? frequently dubbed as the highly fragmented 'semi-sovereign state' with parliament at its centre. The book combines a comprehensive study of all the aspects of governance, such as the role of the media in agenda-setting, the various levels of legislative action (including the European Union), the role of the parties, the impact of federalism and the Constitutional Court. The implementation and evaluation of all important laws and decisions since 1949 is examined in a comparative perspective on parliaments abroad. It is a quantitative and qualitative analysis in the light of recent theories of public policy theory.
