Overview

The unification of Germany in 1990 was one of the most significant events in the post-war history of Europe. Because of its geographical location, economic strengths and trade interests in both western and eastern Europe, the new Germany can be expected to play a crucial role in the future development of the continent. However, German unification was a huge economic, political and social experiment whose results could not be predicted. The New Germany: A Human Geography provides an up-to-date account of the process of German unification and its impact in the new states (Lander) of eastern Germany as well as the impact on the established western German Lander. It emphasises the difficulties of bringing together two countries with two very different post-war histories. This is an essential textbook for students of geography, European studies and German studies.
