SUMMARY:Regional elections in Saxony\, Thuringia and Brandenburg - What to expect?
DESCRIPTION:On 4 September 2024 at 5pm BST\, the International Association for the Studies of German Politics and the BGA are jointly hosting an online discussion on Zoom to look at the German regional elections in Saxony and Thuringia (both on 1 September) and Brandenburg (on 22 September) this Autumn. In the light of growing worries about the strength of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD)\, these elections are particularly significant. \nWe are delighted to welcome Jasmin Riedl\, a researcher at the Universität der Bundeswehr on party politics\, (digital) campaigning and far right populism\, and Christian Stecker from the TU Darmstadt with a  research focus on the design of democracies\, federal systems\, minority governance and populist parties in parliaments. The event will be chaired by Ed Turner from Aston University\, a leading expert on German politics with an interest in comparative politics\, notably in the areas of political parties\, federalism and public policy. \nPlease note that registration is necessary for the event. Only logged-in members of the BGA will be able to see the Zoom registration link (starting https://) below. Once you have logged in to your BGA account\, please navigate back to this page via the “Events” tab on the menu bar and register below. If you are still unable to see the Zoom registration link after logging in\, please check your membership is up-to-date or contact us.
