Summary:

The elections in 1994 in Germany gave rise to the word Superwahjahr (super-election year). In addition to the election of a new Bundestag in October, there was a presidential election, elections to the European Parliament and elections for seven Länder parliaments. This book provides a set of analyses of those elections, with emphasis on the Bundestag election.
