Rezension zu „Conradt, D: German Polity “
Simply the best. The German Polity continues to set the standard for individual country texts. The combination of clear prose and helpful graphics makes it ideal for teaching purposes. The authors excel at presenting complex issues in an accessible manner, and the depth of research and the quality of thinking that underpin the analysis lifts their work beyond the conventional text level. Over the book's ten editions the issues have changed as the Federal Republic has met the challenge of German unification and erased doubts about the quality of its democratic life and its stability. Its continuing economic success has made it Europe's preeminent state and 'reluctant hegemon' in salvaging the Eurozone. In the realm of security, where Germany has historically aroused such anxieties, it has been understandably reluctant to play the role its size and resources suggest. How the country will exercise its undisputed power excites enormous interest within and beyond Germany. All those wishing to understand these critical issues should read this definitive volume. -- William E. Paterson OBE, University of Aston, UK
