Summary/Abstract: The KGParl lead joint network: “Parties and Party System after 1990”1 examines the constitution and the transformation of a new German party landscape after the reunification of 1990. The first focus is on the establishment of party-political structures in the five new German states after system transformation in 1989 and unification in October 1990.2 This is to evaluate the different expectations in East and West Germany and the competing influence of the established West German parties, which extended their organizations into the territory of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), in building what soon was seen as an East German party system.
