Angela Merkel may well be headed for another four years in power, and her fourth term as German Chancellor, but voters have punished her unexpectedly for her immigration policy. She has kept Germany's doors open to hundreds of thousands of refugees. It’s not what many people thought possible twelve months ago. But it seems it could yet lead to significant policy changes for Europe's most powerful economy. 

What do the election results mean for Ms. Merkel's fresh mandate? How will it handle the rise of the far right? World Insight with Tian Wei provides a special program Germany Decides, getting the answers straight from Timo Lochocki from the Europe Program of the German Marshall Fund, and Markus Kerber from Federation of German Industries.
