Reviews

Altogether the contributions make for informative reading. The volume poses clear questions about the state of inner-German unity, and about the extent to which globalization, Europeanization, and the Cold War have changed the country.”  ·  German Studies Review

"…the specific topics addressed in the individual contributions are handled and presented with admirable fluency, and none of the chapters appear out of place, overly niched, or superfluous to the overall narrative being communicated…In comparison to a number of recently published monograph histories of the Berlin Republic, this detailed volume contains much more specific material on the themes it addresses. While it thus cannot replace the narrative history of those monographs, it will function very well as a complement for advanced students and researchers alike."  ·  German History

Description

The fall of the Berlin Wall and the unification of East and West Germany in 1989/90 were events of world-historical significance. The twentieth anniversary of this juncture represents an excellent opportunity to reflect upon the evolution of the new Berlin Republic. Given the on-going significance of the country for theory and concept–building in many disciplines, an in-depth examination of the case is essential. In this volume, unique in its focus on all aspects of contemporary Germany - culture, historiography, society, politics and the economy - top scholars offer their assessments of the country’s performance in these and other areas and analyze the successes and continued challenges.
