Riassunto

The position of Germany following unification has initiated much debate about its future role as a superpower whilst acknowledging the internal difficulties which lie ahead for the former East German states. In order to appreciate the present difficulties, it is crucial to understand the context. Focussing on both the former Federal Republic and the former GDR, the author analyzes major aspects of the unification process. German-German relations during the 1980s are examined using previously inaccessible archival material from the GDR as well as in-depth interviews with top politicians, including Krenz and Schabowski. The unification process itself is discussed, with particular emphasis on an analysis of the elections, the unification treaty and transitional government structures. Finally, the author considers the European dimensions to unification and the future prospects for Germany. Particular account is taken of the adjustments required with the old Federal Republic to incorporate the new lander.
