Saxony-Anhalt case shows policy complexity straining German democracy

Original: Germany's Sachsen-Anhalt shows how policy complexity is outrunning democracy

An analysis by the European Consortium for Political Research argues that Germany's Saxony-Anhalt region illustrates how increasingly complex policy-making is outrunning democratic oversight. The piece suggests that technical governance challenges there have grown beyond what elected representatives and voters can meaningfully scrutinise, raising questions about the health of democratic accountability in German regional politics.

Why now: Concerns are growing that technical policy complexity is eroding democratic accountability in Germany and across Europe.
