Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper is a case study of the opportunities and constraints facing the German Social Democratic Party (SPD) as it seeks to pursue market-oriented reforms in response to a more integrated and global economy. Focusing in particular on corporate tax reform, I examine how the government was able to pass those reforms and the consequences of pursuing these reforms. The extent of market reforms and the consequences of pursuing a centrist strategy are determined by the political and institutional context within which leftist parties operate. In the case of Germany, the SPD had to gain the consent of a wide range of actors including other political parties, state governments and labor unions. While the SPD was successful in passing corporate tax reforms, labor market reforms are likely to be more difficult to pass. SPD's institutional links to labor unions, coupled with the union's ability and willingness to strike, limit the extent of reforms and may undermine the party's ability to hold together its "new middle" coalition in the September elections.
