Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Politics - Miscellaneous, grade: A- = 1-, International University in Germany Bruchsal (Department of Sciences and Liberal Arts), language: English, abstract: The German reunification is a unique event in world history and heralded the downfall of the entire Communist Bloc. Understanding what happened in the unification's aftermath is vital in order to develop future policies for Germany and Europe. This paper pinpoints and explains problems that result from the unification and prevent Germany from becoming a truly united nation. Current events like the IG-Metall strike of 2003 help to illustrate the immediate effects these problems have on German society. However, these political and economic issues are outweighed by a more profound problem, the unwillingness of both Eastand West-Germans to search for compromises, for a mutual way into the future. Until this situation changes, Germany will continue to experience difficulties with completing the process of unification which might easier and faster be solved hand in hand. Either way, the process will take much longer than most people have initially expected.
