sciencedirect.comElectoral Studies | The 2025 German Federal Election: Fundamental Shifts in Challenging Times | ScienceDirect.com by ElsevierThe 2025 German federal election reflected significant changes in the political landscape, shaped by economic challenges, geopolitical tensions, and security concerns.
