state-level politics
The area of politics that deals with affairs and decisions within a federal state (in Germany or Austria). It contrasts with federal politics at the national level and local politics at the municipal level.
Die Bildungspolitik ist in Deutschland ein zentrales Thema der Landespolitik.
In Germany, education policy is a central topic of state-level politics.
The word is composed of 'Land' (state) and 'Politik' (politics). Here, 'Land' stands for 'Bundesland' (federal state). The '-es-' is a linking element that connects the two words.
Die Landespolitik beschäftigt sich mit den Themen eines einzelnen Bundeslandes.

The word is often used in combination with the name of a federal state or with adjectives. Typical formulations are 'die bayerische Landespolitik' (Bavarian state politics) or 'die aktuelle Landespolitik' (current state politics).

local politics
'Kommunalpolitik' and 'Landespolitik' both belong to politics within a country, but they refer to different levels. 'Kommunalpolitik' fits when the topic is a city, municipality, or district, for example bus routes, local schools, or construction projects. 'Landespolitik' means the politics of a federal state, for example Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia, or an Austrian federal state. The words can be confused because neither one refers to federal politics. The simple guide is: kommunal is local, while 'Landespolitik' concerns the entire federal state.
