The unification of Germany as a prelude to the end of the division
of Europe and the termination of the Cold War came as a surprise to
the whole world. It was the beginning of a new era in German and
European history.
The Price of German Unity is the first full-scale analysis of this
process, both domestically and in its wider international context,
with a particular focus on the social-policy consequences. Gerhard
A. Ritter uses a wide range of hitherto inaccessible sources to
describe and analyse the dynamics of reunification, including
archives from the Chancellor's Office, and the relevant ministries
and major parties of both the Federal Republic and the GDR, as well
as the private papers of the leading actors on both sides and a
wealth of interview material.
As the book convincingly demonstrates, the wholesale transfer of
the social system of the Federal Republic of Germany to the
territory of the former GDR and the huge drain of economic
resources from West to East that this involved, profoundly affected
the economic and political framework of the new Germany and greatly
intensified the latent crisis of the German welfare state.
