Regieren im modernen Staat

Wilhelm Hennis has been observing and commenting on constitutional developments in the Federal Republic of Germany for half a century. In a modern state, all political activities, government, legislation and the struggle for influence and power are centred around institutions and the changes they undergo. This volume contains all the author's important essays on the theory of government and the problems inherent in governing a modern state. A second volume of collected essays will be published containing the author's writings on 'Political Science and Political Thinking.'
