Cold War Ecology
East Germany, its economy, and its society were in decline long before the country’s political collapse in the late 1980s. The clues were there in the natural landscape, Arvid Nelson argues in this groundbreaking book, but policy analysts were blind to them. Had they noted the record of the leadership’s values and goals manifest in the landscape, they wouldn’t have hailed East Germany as a Marxist-Leninist success story. Nelson sets East German history within the context of the landscape history of two centuries to underscore how forest and ecosystem change offered a reliable barometer to the health and stability of the political system that governed them.

Planung für die deutsche Einheit
Markus Gloe gibt einen Überblick über die gesamte Entwicklung des "Forschungsbeirats für Fragen der Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands beim Bundesministerium für gesamtdeutsche Fragen" von seiner Gründung 1952 bis zu seinem Ende 1975. Er arbeitet die Vielschichtigkeit seines Wirkens heraus. Außerdem nimmt er einen Vergleich zwischen den Arbeitsergebnissen des Forschungsbeirates und den tatsächlichen Entwicklungen 1989/1990 vor. Wenn auch die Ergebnisse und Erkenntnisse aus der Arbeit des Forschungsbeirates veraltet und in manchen Bereichen durch die politischen, sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Entwicklungen überholt waren, hätte ein Heranziehen der Ergebnisse den Blick für Probleme der Wiedervereinigung schärfen können.
