Germanys political culture has undergone a huge shift since World War II. Germanys contemporary political culture mirrors that of several liberal Western democracies and is an incredibly stable state. After World War II, Germany made an effort to manage its sense of nationalism and anti-extremism in politics. The democratization of the country resulted in the original authoritarian state being replaced by an open civil society. In contrast to the majority voting two-party systems present in countries like the United States and Britain, Germanys government consists of two or more parties and does an outstanding job in self administrating the country. In economical terms, Germany takes a leading role due to its free-market. During the 2008 recession, Germany was not in as much debt as the United States due to 20 percent of Germanys economy relying on manufacturing and another good portion dedicated to major exporting. The New York Times article below goes into further detail in regards to Germanys moderate economic growth over the past couple of years.
