Schröder's Germany: The Social Democrats' Decline
After half a dozen of downfalls in regional elections Gerhard Schröder's government is at risk. During its first year in power, the coalition of Social Democrats and Greens has shown only limited will and little capacity to reform. Especially left wing Social Democrats have hesitated to fully support liberal reforms of the labor market. Schröder has some responsibility in this situation, since he didn't succeed in defining a clear and straight direction to government action. In sight of the next regional tests in spring 2000, which could make a continuation of the current coalition impossible, the German chancellor has now turned to fight. Emphasizing on traditional symbols of the labor movement, Schröder hopes to regain the lost confidence, but first of all he should enter in a new "direct dialogue" with the German citizens.

German Government: The Chancellor's Shadow
The start of the new German Government, the Delusions of the New Center and the ambitions of finance minister Oskar Lafontaine... The new German chancellor, Gerhard Schröder (SPD), entered office at the end of October, but his government has had anything but a brilliant start. The conservatives in his Social Democratic Party of Germany have given an impressive proof of their power and will to resist against radical reform projects. The indisputable protagonist of the coalition-negotiations was the SPD leader and new finance minister Oskar Lafontaine, who appears to be more determined and even more powerful than his chancellor.
