- Summary
- "This book combines new thinking in International Relations theory and Foreign Policy Analysis with original historical research concerning West German party politics in the 1950s and 1960s and the struggle between the Christian Democrats and Social Democrats on the issue of how reunification should be approached, from Adenauer's policy of Westbindung to Brandt's Ostpolitik. It contributes to theory formation on international politics and foreign policy by using the Federal Republic as a crucial case study on "strategic states" in international politics and at the same time adds to the historiography of the German question and West German reunification policy. The result is a compelling, detailed narrative with a clear focus on theoretical relevance concerning foreign policy decision-making. This book is essential reading for students and scholars of German politics, German History, European Studies, and Foreign Policy."--
