The system transformation after German unification in 1990
constituted an experiment on an unprecedented scale. At no point in
history had one state attempted to redesign another without
conquest, bloodshed or coercion but by treaties, public policy and
bureaucratic processes. Unification was achieved by erasing the
eastern political and economic model. However, in the meantime it
has become clear that the same cannot be said about social
transformation. On the contrary, social and cultural attitudes and
differentiation have continued and resulted in deep divisions
between West and East Germany. After unification, the injustices of
politics seemed to have been replaced, in the eyes of most former
GDR citizens, by unexpected injustices in the personal spheres of
ordinary people who lost their jobs and faced unknown realities of
deprivation and social exclusion. These are the main concerns of
the contributors to this volume. Incorporating new research
findings and published data, they focus on key aspects of economic,
political, and social transformation in eastern Germany and
compare, through case studies, each area with developments in the
west.
