Does Germany - as in the past - aim to dominate Europe? Or has it renounced its imperial ambitions following the trauma of division during the Cold War?In seeking answers to these questions, Kristina Spohr Readman scrutinises the development of Germany's new Ostpolitik (eastern policy) in the period 1989-2000. Against the background of recent European history, she analyses the re-establishment of a special relationship between Bonn/Berlin and Moscow. 606 $aPost-communism$zBaltic States 606 $aPost-communism$zEurope, Eastern 607 $aGermany$xForeign relations$zBaltic States 607 $aBaltic States$xForeign relations$zGermany 607 $aGermany$xForeign relations$zEurope, Eastern 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xForeign relations$zGermany 615 0$aPost-communism 615 0$aPost-communism 676 $a327.430479/09/049 700 $aSpohr Readman$b Kristina$01526129 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783714103321 996 $aGermany and the Baltic problem after the Cold War$93767989 997 $aUNINA
