Using social constructivism theory, it provides a comparative assessment of Germany's post-reunification relations with the Czech Republic and Poland within the framework of the contemporary alliance structure. Identifying the key actors and factors, Cordell and Wolff examine the long-standing continuity in the norms and values that underpin German foreign policy and explore the issues of borders, territory, identities, minorities and population transfers. Paying particular attention to the process of European integration and the role of the new Germany within Europe, the authors identify how new possibilities for co-operation might finally overcome legacies of the past. This pioneering study will be of particular interest to students of European politics and international studies. 410 0$aRoutledge advances in European politics. 607 $aGermany$xForeign relations$zPoland 607 $aGermany$xForeign relations$zCzech Republic 676 $a327.430437 700 $aCordell$b Karl$01357736 702 $aWolff$b Stefan 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476802903321 996 $aGermany's foreign policy towards Poland and the Czech Republic$93364370 997 $aUNINA
