Download or read book Mitteleuropa and German Politics written by J. Brechtefeld and published by Springer. This book was released on 1996-09-11 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revival of the region of east-central Europe known as 'Mitteleuropa' began in Hungary and Czechoslovakia. For Germany, 'Mitteleuropa' became a renewed geopolitical concept. Since 1990 Mitteleuropa has increasingly become a region of German economic engagement. However, German elites failed however to develop a coherent political approach to that region while simultaneously conducting an eclectic Mitteleuropa policy outside a broader framework of foreign policy. This book traces Germany's Mitteleuropa politics and puts them into an historical context and into a framework for future foreign policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books begin as ideas. The suggestion for this one came from my mentor and friend, Hajo Holborn of Yale University. To him I am indebted for a series of challenging and rewarding experiences in the study of history. This work started as a routine dissertation on a limited subject, developed into a rejection of several generally accepted notions about German history, and finally opened out upon some broader perspectives of the modern Western world. In pursuing my topic I have tried to remain consistent and true to a fundamental conviction: that ideas cannot be dissociated from the men and situations that give birth to them, or from the changing characteristics of later men and later situations that use or affect the earlier ideological heritage. Politics by slogan is an aspect of man's activity that has its obvious, serious defects. These imperfections become more menacing when they are enshrined as history by slogan in the service of whatever cause. To counteract this tendency I have tried to tie the ideas of mid European integration clearly to specific persons or situations at every stage of development. Without such anchorage ideas will billow into slogans or evaporate into loose generalizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "His labors were often fruitless. His own master, Wilhelm I, and the Prussian bureaucrats, diplomats, and courtiers with direct access to this first of Bismarck's Wilhelmian nemeses could be at least as obstructionist in Berlin as Franz Joseph and his minions in Vienna. In fact, all too often Bismarck's lack of control over the Prussian elites was in part responsible for the resistance of the Habsburg ruling circle.".

Download or read book Central Europe written by Friedrich Naumann and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Central Europe Friedrich Naumann is probably the most widely read political writer in Germany. "He has his readers" - wrote a competent and not too sympathetic reviewer before the war - "in the workman's cottage and the undergraduate's sitting-room, in the boudoir of the millionaire's wife and in the offices of high officials." And the war gave him an opportunity he was quick to seize. His work on Mittel-europa, here translated, is far and away the most important book that has appeared in Germany since the world-conflict began. It expresses, with a contagious enthusiasm, aspirations already deeply rooted in many German minds; it makes out of them a systematic scheme, commended by eloquence and buttressed by historical and economic learning. If, as I believe to be the case, the idea of an organised and close-knit Central Europe as one of the world-Powers of the future has by this time come to be the dominating thought in German politics, Naumann's book has undoubtedly done much for its diffusion. Some light is thrown upon it by its author's carrer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Germany and East Central Europe written by Steve Wood and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative volume analyzes historical, strategic and domestic political influences on the character and dynamics of the European Union's eastern enlargement. Its main focus is on interactions between Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary, in political-diplomatic, commercial-economic and socio-cultural fields. The book also examines the wider European and international contexts to show that as enlargement advanced, we also witnessed an increase in the potential for conflict among EU members, old and new. Steve Wood provides an eclectic and topical appraisal, which identifies the German state as the crucial actor in both the enlargement venture and parallel processes of bilateral reconciliation. The book is recommended to those with interests in contemporary Germany, Central and Eastern Europe, and European integration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few countries have caused or experienced more calamities in the 20th century than Germany. The country emerged from the Cold War as a newly united and sovereign state, eventually becoming Europe's indispensable partner for all major domestic and foreign policy initiatives. This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of some of the major issues of German domestic politics, economics, foreign policy, and culture by leading experts in their respective fields. This book serves primarily as a reference work on Germany for scholars and an interested public, but through this broader lens it also provides a magnifying glass of global developments which are challenging and transforming the modern state. The growing importance of Germany as a political actor and economic partner makes this endeavor all the more timely and pertinent from a German, European, and global perspective.
