Subject Description

Analyses historical aspects of German politics relevant to today's problems - including issues of identity, extremist politics, citizenship, integration of the two Germanys, and Germany's relations with its neighbours. Throughout, German developments will be related to broader political and social theorising about the West and late-modernity. Students who complete this subject should: learn about specific problems in Germany, particularly those connected with (temporary and apparent) unification in 1990; locate these problems in more general theorising and discourses about advanced industrial European societies; analyse the impact of German problems on Germanys neighbours.

Assessment

Written work totalling 6000 words.
