Germany Federal Republic

The Federal Republic of Germany at Fifty: The End of a Century of Turmoil. The 1998 election was the first in the Federal Rupublic to directly oust a government, ending the Kohl era and bringing the new Social Democrat-Green coalition to power. At this time of great change, leading international scholars reflect on the dramatic transformations of Germany’s past and on Germany’s future prospects. Postwar democratic and economic renewal is placed in the context of continuing debates about German identity; there are assessments of the major leaders, parties, and ideologies; of the still unfinished agenda of integrating East and West: of how the new generation of German leaders will interact with aging governmental structures; of the Bundesbank and the successes and failures of economic policy, the trade unions, and the media; and of Germany’s energizing role in Europe and the world. The period since the reunification of Germany has been the most tumultuous since the end of World War II. Uneasy relations between East and West, new immigrants and native Germans, left and right, and labor and business mark this phase of German history. As Kohl’s Christian Democrats yield power after sixteen years, Germany’s destiny is in a state of flux. The Federal Republic of Germany at Fifty makes sense of these dizzying changes. Twenty-six essays by leading scholars deal with topics such as the role of the Greens, women in the new German intellectual and literary scene, and the effects of political and cultural change on German national identity.
