At no point in history had one state attempted to redesign another without conquest, bloodshed or coercion but by treaties, public policy and bureaucratic processes. Unification was achieved by erasing the eastern political and economic model. However, in the meantime it has become clear that the same cannot be said about social transformation. On the contrary, social and cultural attitudes and differentiation have continued and resulted in deep divisions between West and East Germany. After unification, the injustices of politics seemed to have been replaced, in the eyes of most former GDR citizens, by unexpected injustices in the personal spheres of ordinary people who lost their jobs and faced unknown realities of deprivation and social exclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tThese are the main concerns of the contributors to this volume. Incorporating new research findings and published data, they focus on key aspects of economic, political, and social transformation in eastern Germany and compare, through case studies, each area with developments in the west.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\"this book illuminates successfully the flawed unification process by stringing together a variety of different aspects of society, making the divided nature of Germany today unambiguously clear.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eH-Net Reviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Tables\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Contributors\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eUnited and Divided:\u003c\/b\u003e Germany since 1990: An Introduction\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMike Dennis\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEva Kolinsky\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Constructing East Germany: Interpretations of GDR History since Unification\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMike Dennis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Financing German Unity: Challenges, Methods and Longer-term Consequences\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eChristopher Flockton\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e The Party of Democratic Socialism as Political Voice of East Germany\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003ePeter Barker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e Challenges to Rechtsstaatlichkeit in the Berlin Republic: The Kohl Affair and the Stasi Legacy\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eAnthony Glees\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e Economic Restructuring from Below?
