This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul J. J. Welfens The editor is pleased to present a second edition of Economic Aspects of German Unification which includes new chapters and several postscripts. Almost five years after unification output in the ex-GDR is back to its 1989 level. Due to a massive intra-German resource transfer consumption per capita in eastern Germany has not fallen as much as output and employment which reduced by one-fifth within three years. Given high West German transfers which represented about 5% of West German GDP and more than 50% of East German GDP the fall of industrial output could have been much stronger than had politically been feasible. Hence structural change necessary for productivity growth was dramatic in the ex-GDR where the goods producing sector (manufacturing, mining, energy and construction) strongly changed its proportions; within four years construction almost doubled, and the share of investment goods production reduced by 10 percentage points between 1990 and 1994 and is· now down to 21. 1 %. Mining lost two-thirds of its share in the producing sector which itself was reduced relative to GDP. The share of the services industry increased by 5 percentage points between 1991 and 1994, but with a share of 27. 7% in East Germany's GDP it was still about 9 percentage points lower than in western Germany. By contrast, government accounted for 20. 9% of GDP in eastern Germany, but for only 13. 2% in western Germany.

Download or read book German Unification in European Perspective written by Wolfgang Heisenberg and published by Brassey's (UK) Limited. This book was released on 1991 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new powerhouse now sits at the heart of Europe. The German nation of 80 million people must overcome the difficulties of rapid unification if it is to fulfil its potential, and the immediate problems of absorbing 16 million East Germans into the European Community are being watched and analyzed with great care. The success or failure of the unification will be felt by all the key players both economically and politically, and the experiences gained from managing such radical changes are seen as models, particularly by the emerging democracies of Eastern Europe. Accordingly, German experience, finance and technology have a central role to play in the reshaping of Europe, and the decisions and actions made now will bring about great changes with far-reaching consequences in the structure of both the EC and Europe as a whole as the 21st century approaches.

Download or read book The Two Plus Four Negotiations from a German German Perspective written by Barbara Munske and published by Lit Verlag. This book was released on 1994 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " This book contains interviews with the participants of the two German negotiation delegations, participating in the so-called ""2 + 4"" negotiations on the external aspects of German unification, including the two German former Foreign Ministers. The material that Barbara Munske makes available to the international political science community is unusual in two regards: First, it is extremely rare that diplomats are willing and open to talk about their experiences during a negotiation process. Second, the German unification process receives an added, detailed account of how the negotiations progressed. Much has been written about the German unification process but personal accounts of the external aspects of German unification are difficult to find. Due to the personal accounts of the negotiators involved, the reader will almost be able to feel the tension and diversity of opinions of the two German delegations. The focus of the study is the delegation of the former GDR. All participants of that delegation where prepared to talk intensively with Ms. Munske about their experiences and thoughts. Due to the psychosocial analytical approach that this book entails, especially the focus on the question of power and dominance in a negotiation setting, the book shows once more that concentrating in analysis solely on content and not on atmospheres of international negotiations, ignores formative elements in decision-making.

Prosperous West Germany with its "social market economy" has absorbed the socialist GDR which is facing a complex systemic tranformation process. This volume analyzes the causes, developments, and processes that are associated with German unification. The merger of the two Germanies provides a unique laboratory like example of institutional and economic changes against which established economic theoreis and economic policy concepts can be tested. German unification raises, of course, many new questions for Grmany itself, Europe, and the whole international community. Will the enlarged Germany become a new economic giant in Europe and can the FRG maintain stability and prosperity? What macroeconomic and structural problems are faced by the new Germany and what are the effects for trade, investment, and growth in Germany`s partner countries? Will East Germany catch up with the West and can this process serve as a model forEastern Europe? What are the views of Poland and the USSR, and what implications arise for Western Europe and the United States? Finally, how isthe triangular relationship between the U.S., the EC, and Japan affected, and how does this affect the United States` ability to organize economic cooperation with Japan, Germany, and other leading economies?
