Communism's Collapse, Democracy's Demise? (eBook, PDF)

The Cultural Context and Consequences of the East German Revolution

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Based on original research, this book explores East German political culture and its role in the revolution of 1989 and in reunification. Specifically the book shows how a set of common values stabilised the communist regime until the 1980s, how the undermining of these values motivated revolutionary mobilization, and how the partial survival of this specific culture and its conflict with West German culture have contributed to the post-unification political crisis.
