The last five years have brought such extraordinary changes to
Germany and Europe as to make the previous forty years of Cold War
existence seem deceptively placid and well- ordered by comparison.
The collapse of communist rule in East Germany in the midst of
massive demonstrations against the Honecker regime in late 1989
were only the beginning. The monumental changes that have taken
place since have affected all aspects of German identity, both
inside and outside of the now-unified nation.
This book tackles the question of just where the new Federal
Republic of Germany stands after 45 years and where it appears to
be headed. The central concern of this volume is the nation's
evolving united--or disunited--sense of identity. This identity, in
a constant state of flux, takes many forms: the striking
differences between East and West German views; German pacifism and
national pride; the role of Germany in the world; the reemergence
of radical right groups; and opinions towards foreigners and the
right of political asylum. Of central interest to scholars of
German and European history and politics, this book is a thorough
assessment of Germany in the post-wall era.
