The 2002 campaign and election was one of the most dramatic in the
history of the Federal Republic. An unprecedented last minute swing
narrowly re-elected the Social Democratic-Green government of
Chancellor Schroeder. The campaign featured the first-ever American
style television debate between the two candidates for the
chancellorship. Foreign policy, particularly the refusal of
Schroeder to support the Iraq policies of US President George W.
Bush, played an unusually important role. In the aftermath of the
election the government was faced with a deteriorating economy and
the charge of the opposition that it had deliberately mislead
voters during the campaign. In this volume, distinguished experts
from both sides of the Atlantic analyse these and other critical
issues. Their work is based on extensive research in Germany and
Washington, which included interviews with major political figures
and the collection of new campaign and election data. Contributors:
William Patterson, E. Gene Frankland, Clay Clemens, Christian Soe,
Gerald R. Kleinfeld, David Patton, Dieter Roth, Mary N. Hampton,
Ferdinand Breitbach, Irwin Collier, Helga Welsh, Stephen Szabo.

Four years after unification, Germany completed what has been
called the "super election year": no less than nineteen elections,
culminating in the Bundestag vote on October 16, 1994. Four years
after unification, the elections of 1994 reveal the state of German
Unity and the interplay of new forces in post-Cold War Europe. This
book analyzes the elections for specialists as well as for
students, placing them in the wider context of political and
economic developments in Germany in the 1990s. An appendix with
full data on previous Bundestag elections and relevant charts on
party developments enhances the value of this volume which
students, scholars and the general reader interested in German
affairs will find indispensable.

For Germany's neighbors, perhaps more acutely than for observers
elsewhere, the 1990 reunification of divided Germany has raised old
memories and new concerns in public and scholarly discourse. The
shape and influence of these issues are the subject of this unique,
ambitious book. Organized into country-specific chapters, the book
offers original, expert analyses of Germany's relations with
seventeen European neighbors as well as with the United States. The
contributors explore the essential concerns these nations have
faced in their bilateral relations with Germany-past, present, and
future. In their introduction, the editors trace both commonality
and diversity in various national conceptions of the "German
Question" and the ways in which these perceptions in turn generate
shared as well as divergent national policy agendas vis-a-vis
united Germany.
