First Published in 1981. The essential stability of the Federal
German Republic was once more confirmed by the outcome of the 1980
election. In other respects too, there was little evidence that
Western Germany would emulate the 'crisis situation' affecting
other West European states. Yet 'stability' is not an immobile
condition, and since it results from the interaction of a number of
factors - political, social and economic - no single explanation of
Germany's performance is likely to be convincing. Furthermore, West
Germany has to face several unresolved problems which, although not
pointing to a fundamental crisis, remind us that the concept of
'stability' has to be approached with care. The essays in this book
reflect these ideas, and they explore a range of issues that are
central to the understanding of contemporary German politics. The
political focus is apparent in the analyses of the 1980 federal
election and in the related contributions on political leadership
and the questions surrounding German political culture. However,
other themes also merit detailed attention: West German foreign
policy and the Deutschlandpolitik as well as problems associated
with university reform, the interpretation of German history, and
the considerations affecting both the management and the
performance of the West German economy. Finally, the discussion is
concluded by examining the question of whether the German democracy
does have 'secrets' that might explain the stability of the
political system.
