The 2017 Bundestag election marked a pivotal moment for Germany amid global political upheaval, ensuring stability through Angela Merkel's re-election. However, underlying tensions emerged with the rise of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) as the largest opposition party, alongside the decline of the Social Democrats and internal strife within the Christian Democratic Union. This book explores the dynamics of the election campaign, key political figures, electoral trends, media influence, coalition negotiations, and subsequent policy implications.
