Deutschland 1949-1989
Mit den Ereignissen des 9. November 1989 fand die deutsche Zweistaatlichkeit ihren Abschluss. Am 3. Oktober 1990 endete die Existenz der �Bonner Republik�, da die DDR in deren Geltungsbereich eingetreten war. Die �Deutsche Frage� stellte sich damit seit Beendigung des Zweiten Weltkrieges wieder in neuer Form. Der vorliegende Tagungsband vergleicht die Verh�ltnisse von 1949 mit denen von 1989. Wie in einem Kaleidoskop werden zentrale Punkte der Entwicklung einander gegenueberstellt. Autoren beiderseits der ehemaligen innerdeutschen Grenze beleuchten die konstitutionellen, kirchenpolitischen, wirtschaftlichen, au�en- und sicherheitspolitischen Anf�nge. Subjektive Erfahrungsberich...
Germany: 1933-1990
Vivid, succinct, and highly accessible, Heinrich Winkler's magisterial history of modern Germany offers the history of a nation and its people through two turbulent centuries. It is the story of a country that, while always culturally identified with the West, long resisted the political trajectories of its neighbors. This first volume (of two) begins with the origins and consequences of the medieval myth of the "Reich," which was to experience a fateful renaissance in the twentieth century, and ends with the collapse of the first German democracy. Winkler offers a brilliant synthesis of complex events and illuminates them with fresh insights. He analyses the decisions that shaped the country's triumphs and catastrophes, interweaving high politics with telling vignettes about the German people and their own self-perception. With a second volume that takes the story up to reunification in 1990, Germany: The Long Road West will be welcomed by scholars, students, and anyone wishing to understand this most complex and contradictory of countries.
DDR Ansichten
The charm of the photographs by Thomas Hoepker (*1936 in Munich) lies in their documentary quality, their authenticity, and their testimonial character, for they were produced by an impartial eye. Hoepker was a photojournalist for magazines such as Stern and Geo for many years. In the early seventies he and his wife, journalist Eva Windmöller, were accredited in the German Democratic Republic, and they spent several years reporting on politics and everyday life in East Berlin. In this volume, Hoepker documents life in East Germany from 1959 to the political turn of events in the late eighties: photos of children playing on the Berlin Wall, party rallies, propaganda posters, ramshackle old façades from the Imperial Era and new apartment blocks, Sunday outings and empty supermarket display cases, as well as portraits of artists such as Wolf Biermann tell tales of a vanished nation.

The Rise and Fall of a Socialist Welfare State
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of social policy in the German Democratic Republic (GDR, 1949-1990), followed by an analysis of the “Social Union”, the transformation of social policy in the process of German unification in 1990. Schmidt’s analysis of the GDR also depicts commonalities and differences between the welfare state in East and West Germany as well as in other East European and Western countries. He concludes that the GDR was unable to cope with the trade-off between ambitious social policy goals and a deteriorating economic performance. Ritter embeds his analysis of the Social Union in a general study of German unification, its international circumstances and its domestic repercussions (1989-1994). He argues that social policy played a pivotal role in German unification, and that there was no alternative to extending the West German welfare state to the East. Ritter, a distinguished historian, bases his contribution on an award-winning study for which he drew on archival sources and interviews with key actors. Schmidt is a distinguished political scientist.
Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism in Historical Perspective
Previously published as a special issue of The Journal of Israeli History, this book presents the reflections of historians from Israel, Europe, Canada and the United States concerning the similarities and differences between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism primarily in Europe and the Middle East. Spanning the past century, the essays explore the continuum of critique from early challenges to Zionism and they offer criteria to ascertain when criticism with particular policies has and has not coalesced into an "ism" of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. Including studies of England, France, Germany, Poland, the United States, Iran and Israel, the volume also examines the elements of continuity and break in European traditions of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism when they diffused to the Arab and Islamic. Essential course reading for students of religious history.
Das doppelte Deutschland
Dieses E-Book geht den bisher nicht systematisch untersuchten gegenseitigen Wahrnehmungen nach, wobei besonders die politischen Entscheidungen, Programme und gesellschaftlichen Prozesse und die sich daraus ergebenden Rivalitäten untersucht werden. Die überwiegend von Mitarbeitern des Instituts für Zeitgeschichte verfassten Beiträge stellen diese Wechselwirkung in verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen dar: der "Bewältigung" der nationalsozialistischen Vergangenheit, der "Grenzsicherung" mitten durch Deutschland, der Außen- und Dritte-Welt-Politik, der Reformen in den Hochschulen, der Arbeitsmarktpolitik, im Abtreibungsstrafrecht sowie im kulturellen, sportlichen und kirchlichen Umfeld
