Since unification, fears of resurgent German nationalism have
mounted. In particular, many believe united Germany is reverting to
a xenophobic nationalist stance to deal with the increased
pressures of migration unleashed by the raising of the Iron
curtain. The author argues that these fears are exaggerated. He
documents a longstanding, steadily increasing, committment to the
liberal principles of the Basic Law in the Federal Republic's
policies, which protect foreigners against hostile German
nationalism. O'Brien goes on to criticize the very entrenched
liberalism which holds German nationalism in check. He traces among
German political elites the appeal and uses of "technocratic
liberalism" - an overzealous protection of Germany's liberal
democracy which, paradoxically, prevents minority groups from
achieving full rights of political participation.
