Politics, State and Civil Society in Germany
Monday, February 14, 2022Virtual Talk by Reinhard Fischer, Berliner Landeszentrale für politische Bildung
3:45 pm CET
The talk will look at the democratic setup of the German state and cover the different levels of politics that influence political decisions: Municipal level, State level, Federal level, and the European Union. Following the processes of political decision-making, we will also take a closer look at the relationship between the State and the civil society level. In Germany the State regulates and organizes many different areas: health, education or welfare. But there are public and private actors (welfare organizations, public media, foundations, unions, religious communities) that take over areas of public life, operate in the public interest and support the public to pursue a common goal independently from or in cooperation with the State. How does civic engagement and civil society action fit into these structures?
