Germany's Foreign Policy Towards Poland and the Czech Republic 1111 2 Germany’s Foreign Policy towards 3 4 Poland and the Czech Republic 5111 6 7 8 9 1011 1 2 3111 A thorough examination of critical aspects of Central and Eastern European 4 history, this book explores historical legacies and contemporary dynamics 5 in the relations between Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic. The 6 authors provide a comparative assessment of Germany’s post-reunification 7 relations with the Czech Republic and Poland from the perspective of a 8 social constructivist theory of foreign policy analysis. Identifying the key 9 actors and factors, they examine the long-standing continuity in the norms 20111 and values that underpin German foreign policy and explore the issues of 1 borders, territory, identities, minorities and population transfers. Paying 2 particular attention to the process of European integration and the role of 3 the new Germany within Europe, the authors identify how new possibilities 4 for co-operation might finally overcome legacies of the past. 5 This pioneering study will be of particular interest to students of 6 European Politics and International Affairs. 7 8 Karl Cordell is Principal Lecturer in the Department of Politics, University 9 of Plymouth, UK. 30111 1 Stefan Wolff is Professor of Political Science, University of Bath, UK. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 40111 1 2 3 44111 1111 Routledge Advances in European Politics 2 3 1 Russian Messianism 12 The European Union and e-Voting 4 Third Rome, revolution, Communism Addressing the European Parliament’s 5 and after internet voting challenge 6 Peter J.S.

Apart from this book, we 6 have, individually and jointly, published a number of books and articles 7 on this topic, and have freely drawn on previously published and published 8 research. At the same time, this book represents a departure for both 9 of us. In the past, our concern had been primarily with ethnic German 20111 minorities in Europe, and to a lesser extent with the German refugee and 1 expellee communities. Only sporadically had we touched on more compre- 2 hensive assessments of the various dimensions of the German question. 3 In following and analysing political developments over the past fifteen 4 years, we came to realize that the German question, declared resolved by 5 many in 1990, continued to remain a significant factor in European 6 politics at least and in particular in Germany’s relations with Poland and 7 the Czech Republic. In this triangle of fate, we witnessed remarkable 8 change and stagnation, continuity and innovation, as well as compromise 9 and confrontation. In this volume we attempt to analyse its causes and 30111 consequences. 1 No work like this is merely the product of its authors’ efforts. We have 2 many people to thank for their comments on earlier drafts, for correc- 3 tions of factual errors, for the time they made available for us to interview 4 them. We benefited greatly from a research grant awarded by the British 5 Academy (LRG 35361), which allowed us to engage two very able research 6 assistants in Poland and the Czech Republic: Andrzej Dybczyƒski and 7 Zdenûk Hausvater; and from the equally generous support of our depart- 8 ments at the University of Plymouth and the University of Bath. Without 9 the encouragement of Heidi Bagtazo, Grace McInnes and Harriet Brinton 40111 at Routledge, we may never have started writing this book. Special thanks 1 are due to our family and friends who created the environment in which 2 we were able to finish this book. In particular we would like to thank 3 Jenny Hedström for her comments on early drafts of the manuscript, 4 Professors El˝bieta Stadtmüller and Beata Ociepka for the loan (again!) 45111 of their office at the University of Wroc∏aw, Robert Stradomski for sorting Acknowledgements xi 1111 things out in Poland, Sandra Barkhof for her assistance in the drafting of 2 requests and letters in German, and last but by no means least, many 3 thanks to Marta Urbanek for acting as chauffeur and minder in Poland.

  • Reflections on Contemporary Georgia – Vision from Czech Republic
    Reflections on Contemporary Georgia – Vision from Czech Republic Written by Bakar Berekashvili Note: This article is simultaneously published for the newspaper The Georgian Times on 15 October 2007 „There is no guarantee that the civil society is always benign. But we must take the risk. The civil society corresponds to the historical possibilities of man and history as a drama of good and evil. This is the dignity of man: the choice of good and evil.“ Merab Mamardashvili Brief Discourse on Georgia’s Desire to become European Democratic Country Georgia’s political and social aspirations are an open secret. These aspirations are based on country’s strong desire to build democracy and civil society in Georgia, to integrate into the European space of democratic and civic values and thus to confirm again for modern world that Georgia is a democratic European state. But definitely the task is not so simple, it is very challenging and still full with various obstacles. Georgia still has to pass a long way of democratization in order to achieve its democratic goals and finally to be formed not transitional democracy but real democracy in our own country. In Czech Republic, where I live now, it took approximately 10 years to become democratic country. Since 1989 when communism died in this country, Czech Republic started rapid consolidation of democratic values that was doubtlessly led by Václav Havel. Currently, Czech Republic returned to its hostorical roots and enjoys to be democratic European country. However, here I mean no way that there are no problems in Czech Republic and that here we have absolute democracy.

  • The German-American Bund: Fifth Column Or
    -41 THE GERMAN-AMERICAN BUND: FIFTH COLUMN OR DEUTSCHTUM? THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By James E. Geels, B. A. Denton, Texas August, 1975 Geels, James E., The German-American Bund: Fifth Column or Deutschtum? Master of Arts (History), August, 1975, 183 pp., bibliography, 140 titles. Although the German-American Bund received extensive press coverage during its existence and monographs of American politics in the 1930's refer to the Bund's activities, there has been no thorough examination of the charge that the Bund was a fifth column organization responsible to German authorities. This six-chapter study traces the Bund's history with an emphasis on determining the motivation of Bundists and the nature of the relationship between the Bund and the Third Reich. The conclusions are twofold. First, the Third Reich repeatedly discouraged the Bundists and attempted to dissociate itself from the Bund. Second, the Bund's commitment to Deutschtum through its endeavors to assist the German nation and the Third Reich contributed to American hatred of National Socialism.

  • German Hegemony and the Socialist International's Place in Interwar
    02_EHQ 31/1 articles 30/11/00 1:53 pm Page 101 William Lee Blackwood German Hegemony and the Socialist International’s Place in Interwar European Diplomacy When the guns fell silent on the western front in November 1918, socialism was about to become a governing force throughout Europe. Just six months later, a Czech socialist could marvel at the convocation of an international socialist conference on post- war reconstruction in a Swiss spa, where, across the lake, stood buildings occupied by now-exiled members of the deposed Habsburg ruling class. In May 1923, as Europe’s socialist parties met in Hamburg, Germany, finally to put an end to the war-induced fracturing within their ranks by launching a new organization, the Labour and Socialist International (LSI), the German Communist Party’s main daily published a pull-out flier for posting on factory walls. Bearing the sarcastic title the International of Ministers, it presented to workers a list of forty-one socialists and the national offices held by them in Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Poland, France, Sweden, and Denmark. Commenting on the activities of the LSI, in Paris a Russian Menshevik émigré turned prominent left-wing pundit scoffed at the new International’s executive body, which he sarcastically dubbed ‘the International Socialist Cabinet’, since ‘all of its members were ministers, ex-ministers, or prospec- tive ministers of State’.1 Whether one accepted or rejected its new status, socialism’s virtually overnight transformation from an outsider to a consummate insider at the end of Europe’s first total war provided the most striking measure of the quantum leap into what can aptly be described as Europe’s ‘social democratic moment’.2 Moreover, unlike the period after Europe’s second total war, when many of socialism’s basic postulates became permanently embedded in the post-1945 social-welfare-state con- European History Quarterly Copyright © 2001 SAGE Publications, London, Thousand Oaks, CA and New Delhi, Vol.

  • Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory
    To Our Dead: Local Expellee Monuments and the Contestation of German Postwar Memory by Jeffrey P. Luppes A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Germanic Languages and Literatures) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Andrei S. Markovits, Chair Professor Geoff Eley Associate Professor Julia C. Hell Associate Professor Johannes von Moltke © Jeffrey P. Luppes 2010 To My Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Writing a dissertation is a long, arduous, and often lonely exercise. Fortunately, I have had unbelievable support from many people. First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor and dissertation committee chair, Andrei S. Markovits. Andy has played the largest role in my development as a scholar. In fact, his seminal works on German politics, German history, collective memory, anti-Americanism, and sports influenced me intellectually even before I arrived in Ann Arbor. The opportunity to learn from and work with him was the main reason I wanted to attend the University of Michigan. The decision to come here has paid off immeasurably. Andy has always pushed me to do my best and has been a huge inspiration—both professionally and personally—from the start. His motivational skills and dedication to his students are unmatched. Twice, he gave me the opportunity to assist in the teaching of his very popular undergraduate course on sports and society. He was also always quick to provide recommendation letters and signatures for my many fellowship applications. Most importantly, Andy helped me rethink, re-work, and revise this dissertation at a crucial point.

It reveals a complex picture of tourism, travel, and information exchange in which Germans from both countries were able to construct socialist escapes. While the Cold War history of Germans in east-central Europe has tended to either ignore their presence or focus mainly on expulsion and emigration, this article highlights the vibrant existence of a ‘German sphere’ in Cold War east-central Europe.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: the FURTHEST
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE FURTHEST WATCH OF THE REICH: NATIONAL SOCIALISM, ETHNIC GERMANS, AND THE OCCUPATION OF THE SERBIAN BANAT, 1941-1944 Mirna Zakic, Ph.D., 2011 Directed by: Professor Jeffrey Herf, Department of History This dissertation examines the Volksdeutsche (ethnic Germans) of the Serbian Banat (northeastern Serbia) during World War II, with a focus on their collaboration with the invading Germans from the Third Reich, and their participation in the occupation of their home region. It focuses on the occupation period (April 1941-October 1944) so as to illuminate three major themes: the mutual perceptions held by ethnic and Reich Germans and how these shaped policy; the motivation behind ethnic German collaboration; and the events which drew ethnic Germans ever deeper into complicity with the Third Reich. The Banat ethnic Germans profited from a fortuitous meeting of diplomatic, military, ideological and economic reasons, which prompted the Third Reich to occupy their home region in April 1941. They played a leading role in the administration and policing of the Serbian Banat until October 1944, when the Red Army invaded the Banat. The ethnic Germans collaborated with the Nazi regime in many ways: they accepted its worldview as their own, supplied it with food, administrative services and eventually soldiers. They acted as enforcers and executors of its policies, which benefited them as perceived racial and ideological kin to Reich Germans. These policies did so at the expense of the multiethnic Banat‟s other residents, especially Jews and Serbs. In this, the Third Reich replicated general policy guidelines already implemented inside Germany and elsewhere in German-occupied Europe.
