East Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The <bb>>Germanb>bb>> Democraticb> Republic (GDR) (<bb>>Germanb>bb>>: Deutsche Demokratische Republik), also commonly known as East Germany, was a communist state that existed from 1949 to 1990 in the former Soviet occupation zone of Germany.
The <bb>>Germanb>bb>> Democraticb> Republic was proclaimed in East Berlin on October 7, 1949, five weeks after the Federal Republic of Germany in western Germany.
At the head of the government organs responsible for formally adopting and carrying out policies elaborated by the party congress and Politburo was the Council of Ministers, which had more than forty members and was in turn headed by a Presidium of sixteen.

Social Democraticb> Party of Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Subsequently the Social Democraticb> Party and the newly founded Communist Party of Germany (which consisted mostly of SPD defectors) became bitter rivals, not least because of the legacy of the <bb>>Germanb>bb>> Revolution.
The Social Democraticb> Party of Germany (SPD– Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands) is one of the oldest political parties of Germany still in existence and also one of the oldest and largest in the world, celebrating its 140th anniversary in 2003.
As social democrats could be elected as list-free candidates while the party was outlawed, it had continued to be a growing force in the parliament, becoming the strongest party in 1912 (in imperial Germany, the parliamentary balance of forces had no influence on the formation of the cabinet).

Democraticb> - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch

Problems of Democraticb> Transition and Consolidation : Southern Europe, South America, and Post-Communist Europe
Some critics of representative democracy argue that party politics mean that representatives will be forced to follow the party line on issues, rather than either the will of their conscience or constituents.
In addition, for countries without a strong tradition of democraticb> majority rule, the introduction of free elections alone has rarely been sufficient to achieve a transition from dictatorship to democracy, until a wider shift in the political culture and gradual formation of the institutions of democraticb> government have occurred too.

chapter 4

Despite relatively heavy repression, the SDAP increased its vote in the Reichstag elections from half a million in 1877 to 1.4 million by 1890 and became the largest political party in the country.
The revolutionary wing of the party was catching on to the irreconcilable nature of the struggle against the reformist wing (which wanted to build the party along lines that would leave it incapable of defying the restrictions of bourgeois legality).
The party tells the youth groups that if they disband, that it will set up a central commission for agitation among youth manned by those over 18 and provide legal cover for their work.

The <bb>>Germanb>bb>> Democraticb> Republic's Declaration on the Anti-Torture Convention and its Consequences:

In that case the <bb>>Germanb>bb>> Democraticb> Republic, for instance, in line with its declaration, would not participate in the establishment of the fund.
The universal recognition and implementation of the Torture Convention are not endangered by the <bb>>Germanb>bb>> Democraticb> Republic's financial declaration.
This makes it clear that the <bb>>Germanb>bb>> Democraticb> Republic regards the "financial declaration" it made on ratification as a mere interpretive declaration and not as a reservation: it interprets the contribution obligations pursuant to Convention Articles 17(7) and 18(5) to mean that a state is responsible only for those implementation activities that it accepts.

AllRefer.com - Germany - Free Democraticb> Party <bb>>Germanb>bb>> Information Resource

The Free Democraticb> Party (Freie Demokratische Partei--FDP) is much smaller than the CDU or SPD, but its limited electoral strength masks the party's inordinate influence.
The party's new direction was ratified at the FDP's 1971 party cong ress, which endorsed a program of "social liberalism." As economic conditions worsened in the early 1980s, however, the FDP returned to its earlier advocacy of economic policies more conservative than those endorsed by the SPD.
The FDP was created in 1948 under the chairmanship of Theodor Heuss, who served as the first president of the Federal Republic, from 1949 to 1959.

Weimar Coalition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These three parties were seen as the most committed to Germany's new democraticb> system, and together governed Germany until the elections of 1920, when the first elections under the new constitution were held, and both the SPD and especially the DDP lost a considerable share of their votes.
Nevertheless, the grouping remained at least theoretically important as the grouping of parties most supportive of republican government in Germany, and continued to act in coalition in the government of Prussia and other states until as late as 1932.
Although the Coalition was revived in the ministry of Joseph Wirth from 1921 to 1922, the pro-Democraticb> elements never truly had a majority in the Reichstag from this point on, and the situation gradually grew worse with the continued weakening of the DDP.

Formation of the <bb>>Germanb>bb>> Democraticb> Republic

Although the <bb>>Germanb>bb>> Democraticb> Republic was constitutionally a parliamentary democracy, decisive power actually lay with the SED and its boss, the veteran communist functionary Walter Ulbricht, who held only the obscure position of deputy premier in the government.
Two additional parties, a Democraticb> Farmers' Party and a National Democraticb> Party, designed to attract support, respectively, from farmers and from former Nazis, were added with the blessing of the SED.
When it became clear that a West <bb>>Germanb>bb>> government would be established, a so-called election for a People's Congress was held in the Soviet occupation zone in May 1949.
