Germany and the East
SINCE 1949 THE LEITMOTIF of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) has been stability at home and in Europe.1 It has practised contrition and reconciliation as a matter of deep conviction and official policy. It does not seek to challenge American predominance in Europe, but rather to reinforce it. This has not changed even though Germany has become the strongest economic force in the European Union (EU), providing two-thirds of its funding and po…

Ethics of Citizenship
Who is to be included in a political community and on what terms? William A. Barbieri, Jr. seeks answers to these questions in this exploration of the controversial concept of citizenship rights - a concept directly related to the nature of democracy, equality, and cultural identity. Through an examination of the case of Germany's settled guestworkers and their families, Ethics of Citizenship investigates the pressing problem of political in a wo…
From Bonn to Berlin
Can German democracy endure the stresses of reunification, the challenges of global market forces, and the impact of Europe's intensifying economic and political union?

The Party of Democratic Socialism in the new Germany
The Party of Democratic Socialism's electoral prowess reflects the success other reformed communist parties are having with voters disillusioned with the changes since 1989. This article seeks to explain why it is doing so well, what kind of people are drawn to it, and what its success tells us about the new eastern political culture and the consequences of unification. Its future prospects depend on how quickly the two parts of Germany become in…

The Education of Military Officers in the Federal Republic of Germany
In 1973 West Germany's first military universities opened in Hamburg and Munich. Because of the German past, the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) has serious reservations about the very idea of military power and armed forces. The founding of the military universities engendered intense public debate over the military's role in a new democratic society and the kind of education its soldiers need. The article examines the historical and political…

Strategic Defenses and Soviet-American Relations

Topics considered include the historical aspects of US strategic concepts and programs, Soviet perspectives on the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), national security, international cooperation, nuclear proliferation, arms control and SDI, the technical feasibility of the SDI, foreign policy, and US and Soviet views on prospects for a cooperative transition in strategic defense
The West German Defense Policy Consensus
The authors examine changes in the fundamental assumptions of West German defense policy, as well as important domestic political factors which influence that policy. Alliance fears that the FRG might withdraw from NATO, adopt a "social defense," dismantle the Federal army, or evict U.S. troops are unfounded. But the West German defense policy consensus has eroded in some respects. The perception that the Soviet Union poses a military threat to t…
