Abstract
  • The German commitment to federalism is one of the strongest in the world today. This essay explores the significance of German federalism and its strong subnational legislatures on policy development since the end of World War II, through reunification, and up through the present day. It finds that the German federal government has consistently looked to the Bundesländer for inspiration, with them acting as laboratories of democracy to aid in policy development. This article will also provide a literature review, analyzing the recent works of prominent political scientists to illustrate how subnational legislatures have assisted in producing national policy in the education, climate, and healthcare fields.
