"The Germans And Their Neighbors | Politics

For Germany's neighbors perhaps more acutely than for observers elsewhere the 1990 reunification of divided Germany has raised old memories and new concerns in public and scholarly discourse. The shape and influence of these issues are the subject of this unique ambitious book. Organized into country-specific chapters the book offers original expert analyses of Germany's relations with seventeen European neighbors as well as with the United States. The contributors explore the essential concerns these nations have faced in their bilateral relations with Germany-past present and future. In their introduction the editors trace both commonality and diversity in various national conceptions of the German Question and the ways in which these perceptions in turn generate shared as well as divergent national policy agendas vis-a-vis united Germany. |The Germans And Their Neighbors | Politics
