Neuerscheinung: Tangled Transformations

Tangled Transformations presents a historical analysis of the interplay between
German unification and European integration from the mid-1980s to the
mid-1990s. Building on freshly released documents, the book’s sixteen chapters
explore constellations in which the two processes accelerated and informed one
another.
The book highlights the role of Germany’s neighbours to the east, with chapters
discussing the cotransformation between East and West as well as chapters
dedicated to Poland, Romania, and Hungary. It sheds new light on the two
interrelated processes by examining the role of Germany’s most important
Western neighbours and partners: the United States, the United Kingdom,
France, and Italy. The book pays particular attention to the role of the European
Commission as well as to monetary and industrial policy. It also moves beyond
the economic sphere by discussing foreign and security policy issues, justice
and home affairs, German debates about European integration at the time, and
the significance of the German federal states. Ultimately, Tangled
Transformations demonstrates the strong interlinkages between German
unification and European integration.
