About this book

How are the Germans coming to terms with (re)unification? Four issues are at the heart of this process and form the basis of this study. First, the question of the new German identity; second, the role of nationalism in the new republic; third, the role of inherited ideologies; and finally, the role of Germany in Europe and the wider world. These issues are examined in terms of transformations in the political culture in eastern Germany, metamorphoses in the political ideology and philosophy of the former West Germany, and relations with the political discourse of the West in general.
