Innerparteiliche Wettbewerbsdemokratie

Intra-party democracy is intra-party competitive democracy. German constitutional democracy can be described as a system of a competitive aggregation of interests. The German Basic Law incorporates this concept of competitive democracy into political parties; it shapes their decision-making processes and aims to establish the basis for free and equal intra-party competition. In his thesis, the author deals with the question of whether or not this actually works.
