Includes bibliographical references and index. German unification, Western order, and the post-Cold War restructuring of the international system / G. John Ikenberry -- Between Euroland and Abendland? Opportunities and challenges for German foreign policy since unification / Mary N. Hampton -- Rethinking reunification : German monetary union and European integration / Jonathan R. Zatlin -- The quest for freedom and stability : political choices and the economic transformation of East Germany 1989-1991 / Wolfgang Seibel -- A splendid failure : reflections on two decades of East German economic reconstruction / Irwin L. Collier. "It is easy in retrospect to ascribe inevitability to Germany's unification in 1990. But in fact, such events are the product of decisions made when the outcomes of a process are not yet clear. A dramatic opening in international relations, an ongoing upheaval in East German politics that put the old state's existence into question, and an economic collapse in East Germany forced policy-makers to seek not only a way out of the crisis but also new, stable structures at all levels. This volume examines these intertwining strands, taking into account both short-term interests and the long-term consequences"--Provided by publisher. |
