The fall of the Berlin Wall and the unification of East and West
Germany in 1989/90 were events of world-historical significance.
The twentieth anniversary of this juncture represents an excellent
opportunity to reflect upon the evolution of the new Berlin
Republic. Given the on-going significance of the country for theory
and concept-building in many disciplines, an in-depth examination
of the case is essential. In this volume, unique in its focus on
all aspects of contemporary Germany - culture, historiography,
society, politics and the economy - top scholars offer their
assessments of the country's performance in these and other areas
and analyze the successes and continued challenges.
