Rethinking Germany and Europe: Democracy and Diplomacy in a Semi-Sovereign State

Stephen Padgett

C. Jeffery

Kenneth A. Loparo

Explores the paths of development unfolding from the inter-dependent histories of postwar Germany and the European integration process. The contributors explore these histories within the idea of 'semi-sovereignty': a set of constraints on the German state's power within the external constraints of Germany's multilateral commitments.
