Talking about politics, we deal with many different terms that appear in our everyday life all the time. But do talk Americans and Germans about the same, when they use expressions like "liberal" or "conservative"? Do they mean the same? What we found the most striking in this context is the term "republican".
What does it mean to be republican in cultural, historical and mental means? How can it be that in the US the republicans are one of the two major parties and in Germany the Republikaner are considered to be a Nazi-party? What do the two concepts share and how do they differ?
You see that there are loads of questions coming up when you think of this issue. In this Blog, we want to take a closer look on both, the American and the German concept of being republican and we really hope to get some answers.
