This is a study of the growth of the right wing in a reunited
Germany. Since the end of the Cold War, an explosion of xenophobia
and attacks on foreigners - some of them asylum-seekers - has
attracted world-wide media attention. Coming after the seemingly
miraculous celebration of freedom accompanying the fall of the
Berlin Wall and the country's reunification, these events have
caused acute anxiety within Germany itself. These phenomena are not
exclusive to Germany, but their undertones of Nazism have prompted
the question: how could this happen in a country that had so firmly
repudiated its past and rightly prided itself on its anti-fascism
and liberal democracy? The author sets this development in its
historical context, showing the long-established continuity of
right-wing influence and power in German conservative politics, and
he explores the effects of the end of the Cold War on German
society and politics. He also examines the growth of xenophobia and
right-wing attitudes in the former GDR since the implosion of
communism. Germany's current position as a regional super-power and
its contribution to European economic progress, make this text a
significant and topical contribution.
