Case studies such as the health care reform of the grand coalition and the agenda 2012 reforms of the Schroeder administration show how the ReformCompass can be used as an analytical tool for reform processes.
After the original development of the ReformCompass, the concept was applied to four concrete reform examples from recent German politics: The health care reform under Merkel, Agenda 2010 and the pension reform of the Schröder government as well as the tax reform of the Kohl government. All four research case studies were also combined into a book (Fischer, Thomas, Andreas Kießling and Leonard Novy (Eds.): Politische Reformprozesse in der Analyse. Untersuchungssystematik und Fallbeispiele. Gütersloh 2008.).
On the ReformCompass website (http://www.reformkompass.de/en/case-studies/), you can also find teaching case studies. The teaching case studies are meant to be used for education and training courses. The following link (http://regierungsforschung.de/kategorie/fallstudien/) leads you to further teaching case studies (apart from the teaching case studies which you can find on the ReformCompass website). Additionally, on the following website (http://regierungsforschung.de/faelle/fallmethode/) you will find information about the case method in general. Finally, this link (http://regierungsforschung.de/faelle/fallwiki/) provides you with a so-called case-wiki; it contains teaching notes regarding single teaching case studies. For using the case-wiki, you need a password. You can get a password by sending an e-mail to: redaktion@regierungsforschung.de.
