Germany has undergone developments since re-unification and now faces important challenges as a nation at the very heart of Europe. This work illuminates contemporary political, economic, social and cultural aspects of the re-unified Germany. This study: explains the electoral, political and Federal systems; chronicles recent changes in the German economy and industry; describes the recent reforms to the German Language; discusses problems in higher education and social provision; examines the developing relationship between Germany and its neighbours; and includes in-depth treatment of Germany's coming to terms with its past. The book presents an analysis of features of life in modern Germany. It provides an accessible introduction for students of German and European Studies or the German language at all levels.

Media Reviews
The entries provide a level of accuracy that is uncommon in general reference works, making reliability the greatest strength of this work.....When one considers the eminent scholars who contributed to the volume, the reliability becomes less of a pleasant surprise, and more of an expectation.
