Stephen F. Szabo Bücher

The unification of Germany was the single most important event in 1989-90, the European year of revolutions. The Diplomacy of Germany Unification tells the story of the international aspects of the creation of united Germany. Based on interviews with key Soviet, German and American officials who shaped the final settlement, as well as on extensive journalistic and other secondary sources, this study is the most comprehensive account to date of the diplomatic negotiations over the future political, economic and security role of the new Germany. Dr. Szabo describes and examines such fundamental issues as the development of the grand compromise on NATO membership for united Germany and the new nation's future security status, the resolution of the Polish-German border debate, and the shaping of the diplomatic negotiation structure. This is an important book for all those wishing to understand the nature both of united Germany and of the new Europe.

The German-Russian relationship helped determine Europe's future in the twentieth century and is likely to continue to do so into the twenty-first century. This book offers an analysis of how German policy towards Russia is shaped and how it is likely to develop in future.

The American institute for contemporary German studies, which sponsors research and discussion on German politics, foreign policy and history since 1945, has compiled this book on the German army and its involvement with NATO, German politics and future strategic alternatives

Written during the turbulent events in Germany in 1989, this work opens with the fundamentals of the politics and strategic culture of West German security policy before the 1980s (encompassing economics and foreign policy), and concludes by considering the implications of re-unification.

NA ROZSTAJU DRÓG to pierwsza całościowa analiza stosunków niemiecko- amerykańskich napisana od czasu inwazji na Irak — to nieodzowna lektura dla wszystkich pragnących przewidzieć przyszły kurs tego transatlantyckiego sojuszu. Na początku 2003 roku stało się jasne, iż wiele krajów, w tym bliscy sojusznicy Stanów Zjednoczonych, nie weźmie udziału w kierowanej przez USA koalicji skierowanej przeciw Irakowi. Mimo widocznego powszechnie napięcia między Stanami Zjednoczonymi a Francją najbardziej zawzięty sprzeciw wyrażały między innymi Niemcy, znacząc tym samym koniec nie tylko „szczególnych wzajemnych stosunków' niemiecko-amerykańskich, lecz także relacji transatlantyckich, mających szczególną wagę w strategicznym myśleniu na Zachodzie.
