Reunification in West German Party Politics From Westbindung to Ostpolitik

Reunification in West German Party Politics from Westbindung to Ostpolitik combines new thinking in International Relations Theory and Foreign Policy Analysis with historical research on West German Party Politics from the 1950s until the early 1970s and the struggle associated with the question of German Reunification. The result is a compelling, detailed narrative with a clear theoretical focus on the foreign policy decision-making of 'strategic states' in international politics. This book will prove to be an essential read for students and scholars of International Relations, diplomatic history, German politics and transatlantic relations.
