  • Popular Representation of East Germany
    Popular Representation of East Germany: Whose History is It?i I am sitting with Jens Reich, who though much older now, is still recognizable as the face which became so well known to Western audiences in the autumn of 1989, as the bloodless revolution of East Germany unfolded on their television sets. Reich, a molecular biologist by training, was one of the thirty founding members of the group Neues Forum (“New Forum”) which helped to galvanize East German resistance in the revolutionary autumn, and became one of the most well-known voices of the citizen’s movement, especially in the West because unlike many other East Germans, he spoke English very well. It is two decades since we last met, and we are talking about the intervening years, the whirlwind of changes he has witnessed and in which he has been a key player. He is philosophical about how history – this history – is represented. Admidst the fanfare of anniversaries marking the distance of time since the iconic opening of the Berlin Wall, he struggles to recognize himself in what is being portrayed as this moment of political rupture. …as history settles… we see history about these things which we were in the midst of – when it’s the 20th anniversary, and soon it will be the 25th anniversary, what we see on television, what we read in books, I have always the feeling, what is being settled as history is not what happened! From one point of view it is highly – one always sees the same images, the same TV clips, even though there is obviously much more in the files and the TV archives - highly stereotypical.

Numerous studies have shed light upon the nature, scale and dynamics of the uprising of that year. But on certain issues questions remain. No consensus exists, for example, on the relationship between the ‘civic groups’ (New Forum, Democratic Awakening, etc.) and the street protests of the autumn of 1989. Were these simply two facets of a single movement? Or are they better characterised as two distinct streams within the same movement delta? Did the street protests push the civic movement activists into the limelight? Or is it more accurate to say, with Reinfried Musch, that ‘the civic movement brought the people onto the streets’?1 This paper considers two contrasting interpretations of these issues, and finds both wanting. An alternative interpretation is offered, one that draws upon Marc Steinberg’s ‘dialogical’ development of frame theory. Did opposition activists play the role of ‘movement organisers’? The dominant viewpoint is that civic activists were central to the process of mobilisation in 1989. They created focal points at which resistance gathered. They ‘brought the people onto the streets.’ In Mary Fulbrook’s words, it was the ‘leaven of dissident groups’ which ‘began to raise the bread of the largely subordinate masses.’2 The civic groups were, according to Karsten Timmer, a ‘mobilising force,’ one that ‘offered many thousands of people the opportunity to get involved constructively, and tapping into the ubiquitous sentiment that something must be done.’3 Yet there are many who see the matter otherwise.

  • Eradicating the Soviet Police State Introduction
    Eradicating the Soviet Police State Introduction The former Soviet republics can benefit from the democratization experiences in Germany, which underwent a comprehensive de-nazification process after 1945 and, in the eastern Linder, a far-reaching de-communization process; and from the Czech experience, where the "lustration" process---cleansing the Parliament and government of previous secret-police collaborators-has been very effective. These processes have not been without their difficulties, but contain valuable lessons for those committed to building democracy. Some of the most fundamental steps a society in transition must take to ensure that the most dangerous vestiges of totalitarianism will be erased are to dismantle the political police organs, break up the informant networks, and secure the archives so that abused citizens may inspect their secret files. No member of the Commonwealth of Independent States has taken any of these steps. In each CIS republic the former KGB remains intact, although each has made bureaucratic changes and (with the exception of Belarus) has gone through the charade of re-naming the state security organs to distance them from the dreaded chekisti. Meaningful civil control of those bodies and checks and balances are nonexistent. Likewise, the archives of the political police remain in the hands of those who carried out the systematic human rights abuses of the Soviet era. The potential for future abuse is immense. The following articles discuss efforts in the former East Germany and the Czech Republic to uproot the legacy of their Communist secret services, and efforts in Russia to place the secret services under the tale of law.

  • Manifesto Project Dataset List of Political Parties
    Manifesto Project Dataset List of Political Parties [email protected] Website: https://manifesto-project.wzb.eu/ Version 2020a from July 22, 2020 Manifesto Project Dataset - List of Political Parties Version 2020a 1 Coverage of the Dataset including Party Splits and Merges The following list documents the parties that were coded at a specific election. The list includes the name of the party or alliance in the original language and in English, the party/alliance abbreviation as well as the corresponding party identification number. In the case of an alliance, it also documents the member parties it comprises. Within the list of alliance members, parties are represented only by their id and abbreviation if they are also part of the general party list. If the composition of an alliance has changed between elections this change is reported as well. Furthermore, the list records renames of parties and alliances. It shows whether a party has split from another party or a number of parties has merged and indicates the name (and if existing the id) of this split or merger parties. In the past there have been a few cases where an alliance manifesto was coded instead of a party manifesto but without assigning the alliance a new party id. Instead, the alliance manifesto appeared under the party id of the main party within that alliance.

  • Bstu / Catalogue
    ACCESS TO SECRECY EXHIBITION ON THE STASI RECORDS ARCHIVE ACCESS TO SECRECY. EXHIBITION ON THE STASI RECORDS ARCHIVE RECORDS THE STASI EXHIBITION ON SECRECY. TO ACCESS This catalogue to the permanent exhibition “Access to Secrecy” sheds light on the bureaucratic information system, working methods and everyday tasks of the Stasi. It also offers insight into the current work of the Stasi Records Archive, which preserves for future generations the files left behind by the State Security, thereby assuring that they remain accessible to the people who were personally affected by the Stasi as well as to the broader public. The following pages provide an overview of all the t opics addressed in the exhibition, from the establishment of the Stasi Records Archive to the Stasi’s extensive indexing system and the vast and varied records it left behind. Furthermore, the single case of a person directly targeted by the Stasi is presented in the catalogue and demonstrates the effects of Stasi surveillance. In addition to historical photos showing the everyday work and surveillance measures of the Stasi, the catalogue also contains reprints of original documents from the Stasi Records Archive. All the exhibition objects, most of which are presented to the public for the first time, are listed in the catalogue appendix with detailed information on the sources and picture credits. The catalogue includes a preface addressing the origins and development of the exhibition concept, an epilogue on the history of the former Stasi headquarters site where the exhibition is presented, and photos providing an impression of the construction phase of the exhibition.

  • East Gernany the Contested Story
    This appears in Andrews, Molly (2007) Shaping History: Narratives of Political Change Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Chapter 5: East Germany. The contested story The fact that in the one and only democratic election in the existence of the German Democratic Republic, citizens voted to dissolve their country is the stuff of classic tragedy. The revolution eats its children, we are told, and so it happened in East Germany in 1989. Sebastian Pflugbeil, a leading East German opposition activist, voiced the fallen hopes of many which followed in the wake of his country’s revolution: “We have helped give birth to a child that quickly turned into a rather ugly creature” (Philipsen 1993: 161). East Germany has been the subject of countless publications since its demise more than fifteen years ago; yet still there is no consensus on the meaning of the changes which occurred there in its ‘spring in winter’ (Reich 1990). In March, 1990 I heard Jens Reich give a lecture at Cambridge University on the upcoming elections in East Germany. The research questions which I pursued over the following few years directly stemmed from what I heard on that day. In the months preceding his talk, Reich had become a familiar face to many. He was one of the founding members of the East German political group Neus Forum (New Forum) which had spearheaded many of the changes of that momentous autumn. Reich was a microbiologist with an international reputation, and a well-known public figure in East Germany. With unusually eloquent English, and a long history of political struggle in his country, for Western media he embodied the voice of ‘the bloodless revolution’.

  • List of Political Parties
    Manifesto Project Dataset List of Political Parties [email protected] Website: https://manifesto-project.wzb.eu/ Version 2017a from July 27, 2017 Manifesto Project Dataset - List of Political Parties Version 2017a 1 Coverage of the Dataset including Party Splits and Merges The following list documents the parties that were coded at a specific election. The list includes the name of the party or alliance in the original language and in English, the party/alliance abbreviation as well as the corresponding party identification number. In the case of an alliance, it also documents the member parties it comprises. Within the list of alliance members, parties are represented only by their id and abbreviation if they are also part of the general party list. If the composition of an alliance has changed between elections this change is reported as well. Furthermore, the list records renames of parties and alliances. It shows whether a party has split from another party or a number of parties has merged and indicates the name (and if existing the id) of this split or merger parties. In the past there have been a few cases where an alliance manifesto was coded instead of a party manifesto but without assigning the alliance a new party id. Instead, the alliance manifesto appeared under the party id of the main party within that alliance. In such cases the list displays the information for which election an alliance manifesto was coded as well as the name and members of this alliance. 2 Albania ID Covering Abbrev Parties No. Elections
