Britains Policy for West German Rearmament 1950 1955 $52.39 The integration of West Germany into the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) became one of the most important and contentious problems of postwar security. Increasing Cold War tensions during and after 1949 had led Britain to consider the need to rearm West Germany. Yet fears of a resurgent Germany existed both in Britain and on the continent. The timing and manner of German incorporation was crucial and became the subject of lengthy negotiations. Using extensive archival material, Saki Dockrill stresses how the government was forced to react to the constantly changing positions adopted by the USA, France and Germany itself and addresses three main issues: What made Britain accept the need for a German contribution to the defence of Western Europe? Why was Britain reluctant to encourage any hasty American and French proposals? And why did Britain eventually put forward proposals that successfully resolved the crisis? This was the first booklength analysis of the formulation of Britains strategy for rearming West Germany and will be of interest to specialists and students of international politics, with special reference to postwar diplomatic history, NATO and European security.

Viennese German $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Viennese German (AustroBavarian: Weanarisch, Weanerisch, German: Wienerisch) is the city dialect spoken in Vienna, the capital of Austria and is counted among the AustroBavarian dialects. Even in Lower Austria, the state surrounding the city, many of its expressions are not used, while farther to the west they are often not even understood. Viennese is rather different from the Austrian form of Standard German as well as other dialects spoken in Austria. At the beginning of the 20th century one could differentiate between 4 Viennese Dialects (named after the districts in which they were spoken): Favoritnerisch (Favoriten, 10. Bezirk), Meidlingerisch, (Meidling,12. Bezirk), Ottakringerisch (Ottakring, 16. Bezirk), and Floridsdorferisch (Floridsdorf, 21. Bezirk). Today these labels are no longer applicable and one speaks of one Viennese dialect whose usage differentiates itself as one moves further away from the city.

Civil Disobedience and the German Courts $84.36 In the 1980s the West German Peace Movement fearing that the stationing of NATO nuclear missiles in Germany threatened an imminent nuclear war in Europe engaged in massive protests, including sustained civil disobedience in the form of sitdown demonstrations. Civil Disobedience and the German Courts traces the historical and philosophical background of this movement and follows a group of demonstrators through their trials in the German criminal courts up to the German Constitutional Court in which their fate was determined in two important constitutional cases. In this context, the volume also analyzes the German Constitutional Court, as a crucial institution of government, in comparative perspective. The book is the first fulllength English language treatment of these events and these constitutional decisions, and it also places the decisions at an important turningpoint in German constitutional history.
