Abstract
Germany, a socially homogenous federation, with a centralized party system, developed close cooperation between governments: central to state and state to state, facilitated by the hobnobbing of bureaucrats and politicians. Tax equalization headed off regional movements, so conflicts were really between parties because party ideologies and programs make a difference. Federalism acted as a barrier to rapid change.Keywords
