Description:

This course surveys the socioeconomic, political and cultural development of Germany since the collapse of the Third Reich.

In addition, the course aims to raise questions about the essential features of the "democratic-capitalist" West and the "totalitarian-socialist" East and the ways in which these factors shape contemporary German society.
