From the 1960s to the 1980s, observers gave the name "Model
Germany" to the Federal Republic. They saw in Germany a
political-economic "model" that was able to weather many economic
challenges. "Model Germany" permitted political competition, while
coordinating public policy among interest associations and private
businesses so that changes would only take place only in a balanced
and positive way.
Since the early 1990s this "German Model" has faced serious
troubles. Authors in this book describe its disintegration in the
past decade and probe into the causes of this. Articles argue that
it is Germany's national and European integration that has
triggered the model's unravelling.
These processes are paralleled by tendencies in public opinion,
social life styles, and political mobilization in parties, interest
groups, and social movements. The strains of "model Germany" show
up in the transformation of industrial relations, corporate
governance structures, and social and immigration policies in
Germany.
