Zusammenfassung

The formation of the federal government in Germany after the Bundestag election in 2017 was more complicated and took longer than ever before . This was not only caused by the election results but also by the early determination of the SPD to take the role of opposition . Thus only a “Jamaica” coalition (named after CDU/CSU’s, FDP’s and Greens’ party colours) seemed possible . Exploratory talks were held in a formal way and in great detail . But when the FDP stepped out, they failed . A phase of uncertainty and discussion about new elections or a minority government ensued . The federal president took the lead and admonished the parties to stronger efforts in building a government . Eventually, a contract for a Grand Coalition composed of CDU, CSU and SPD was negotiated . The parties accepted it through different instruments, with the SPD conducting a written survey of all members as it had done in 2013 . Thus the federal government was installed 171 days after the election was held . The entire process of government formation shows both an advanced formalization and its pitfalls . The growing importance of the Länder in the coalition negotiations is as apparent as is the necessity to analyze the role of individual actors in the process .

Abstract

The formation of the federal government in Germany after the Bundestag election in 2017 was more complicated and took longer than ever before . This was not only caused by the election results but also by the early determination of the SPD to take the role of opposition . Thus only a “Jamaica” coalition (named after CDU/CSU’s, FDP’s and Greens’ party colours) seemed possible . Exploratory talks were held in a formal way and in great detail . But when the FDP stepped out, they failed . A phase of uncertainty and discussion about new elections or a minority government ensued . The federal president took the lead and admonished the parties to stronger efforts in building a government . Eventually, a contract for a Grand Coalition composed of CDU, CSU and SPD was negotiated . The parties accepted it through different instruments, with the SPD conducting a written survey of all members as it had done in 2013 . Thus the federal government was installed 171 days after the election was held . The entire process of government formation shows both an advanced formalization and its pitfalls . The growing importance of the Länder in the coalition negotiations is as apparent as is the necessity to analyze the role of individual actors in the process .
