Description
The "Berlin Republic" has become the key concept of post-Cold War Germany and as such has been widely discussed inside as well as outside Germany. Symbolized by the move of the government from Bonn to Berlin it signals all the tangible and intangible changes in Germany's position in the world that have taken place during the 1990s. Well known German authors, decision-makers, and cultural leaders as well as internationally renowned experts on German affairs contribute to this volume, examining various aspects of the New Germany and its old/new capital, such as history, foreign policy, art, architecture, and culture. In this way, the reader gains a varied but comprehensive picture of Germany after unification as perceived by its neighbors, friends, and allies.
Dieter Dettke has been Executive Director of the Washington Office of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation since 1985. As a specialist in foreign and security policy, Dieter Dettke has published widely on security issues. He received his PhD in Political Science from the Free University of Berlin.
