%T Historical Memory and the Plea for a National Interests Based German Foreign Policy %A Nijhuis, Ton %J Sociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review %N 2 %P 205-217 %V 6 %D 1998 %K German Reunification %= 2009-03-17T16:51:00Z %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-54312 %X The events of 1989 & unification changed the Federal Republic of Germany's position in Europe significantly, & have forced the nation to reorient its foreign policy. Here, the relationship between historical memory & contemporary foreign policy in Germany is explored, both in terms of how remembering the past influences ideas about contemporary politics, & the role of the debate on a new German foreign policy in the ongoing struggle in the interpretation of the German past & national identity. This question is especially relevant in light of the renewed vigor evident in the battle for cultural dominance since unification. %C MISC %G en %9 journal article %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
