DOWNLOAD EBOOKSeven contributions combine an analysis of the structural foundations of executive leadership in Germany with a study of the six postwar Chancellors. They explain variations in performance between Chancellors who dominated and shaped the political landscape of the Federal Republic and those who merely trod across it, exploring the paradoxes of the office, and defining the scope of Chancellor leadership--its limits and its appropriateness for post-unification Germany.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDuring his political career, Helmut Kohl used his own life story to promote a normalization of German nationalism and to overcome the stigma of the Nazi period. In the context of the cold war and the memory of the fascist past, he was able to exploit the combination of his religious, generational, regional, and educational (he has a PhD in History) experiences by connecting nationalist ideas to particular biographical narratives. Kohl presented himself as the embodiment of “normality”: a de-radicalized German nationalism which was intended to eclipse any anti-Western and post-national peculiarities. This book takes a biographical approach to the study of nationalism by examining its manifestation in Helmut Kohl and the way he historicized Germany’s past.
