Zusatztext " 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 Informationen zum Autor Eric Langenbacher is a Visiting Assistant Professor and Director of Honors and Special Programs, Department of Government, Georgetown University.
