The Arts of Democratization
Amid recent concerns with the rise of would-be autocrats, this book reconsiders efforts in 1950s and 1960s West Germany to create a democracy and a democratic citizenry. The editors emphasize that democracy is inherently an ongoing project, one which is in practice contested and which may thus involve a multitude of democratic subjectivities. The essays explore how (West) Germans conceptualized and ‘stylized’ democracy. The book also builds on re…
Rechtsstaat and Recht in West Germany's Nuclear Power Debate, 1975–1983
Germans have long prided themselves on their commitment to the Rechtsstaat , the state based on the rule of law. However, they have not agreed on what would constitute a Rechtsstaat. Recht can mean “law,” or “right,” or “justice,” leaving open what a Rechtsstaat ought to establish. Moreover, a Rechtsstaat could be merely formal, an independently adjudicated process of applying statutes equally binding for all, or substantive, a process providing …
The knife in the hands of the children’? Debating the political mass strike and political citizenship in Imperial Germany
German trade union leader Ludwig Rexhäuser compared workers who might use the political mass strike to children one could not trust with a knife. No other worker leader so openly disparaged the masses, and some embraced worker activism. Nonetheless, pre-1914 German Social Democrats, in debating the mass strike, differed sharply over whether and which workers could be trusted with political agency, how workers could attain political maturity, and …
Splendid Demonstrations
Great public figures can bestride the public stage in life—but be buried privately. Kaiser Wilhelm II despised his father, Friedrich III. Having established his legitimacy through his central role in his grandfather, Wilhelm I's, funeral, he refused Friedrich a public funeral and staged a private funeral so perfunctory the widow refused to attend. Otto von Bismarck, to spite Wilhelm II for having fired him, directed that his funeral should be pri…

The Economics of World War II
the Soviet Union, the UK and the U.S. The editor succeeds in achieving a major goal of the book which is to "provide a text of statistical reference for students and researchers interested in international and comparative economic history, the history of WWII, the history of economic policy, and comparative economic systems."While this is an ambitious goal, these essays provide insight into these issues, and, where possible, answers to important …

Restitution and Democracy in Germany after Two World Wars
As Central and East Europeans (including Germans) strive to build new democracies on the ruins of old dictatorships, they seek to establish democratic values as well as democratic institutions. They know that democratic institutions alone were not able to save democracy in Germany's Weimar Republic, which had also risen out of the collapse of an authoritarian regime. West Germans, though, later built a viable democracy, the Federal Republic, from…

Planwirtschaft in Westdeutschland 1945-1948
Private Equity, Social Inequity
Responding to a lawyer's impassioned plea for “justice” for his client, a great judge supposedly remarked, “We deal with the law here, not with justice.” This apocryphal comment sums up a fundamental dilemma: should courts simply apply the law as written or seek out “justice” in every case? Before World War I, German jurists chose the former approach. For them the Rechtsstaat (variously, the just state or state rooted in law) was to be secured by…
