We published an article by Rémi Lallement in Futuribles (November 1998, n° 236), titled “The Economy of the Eastern German Lander: a Unique Trajectory”. It sketched a first evaluation of German unification and the mid- and long-term perspectives for the former Democratic Republic, nine years after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
To complement that article, which developed mainly an economic perspective, a German sociologist shares with us his observation that two distinct societies persist within the united Germany, with bitterness on both sides in spite of efforts by the former Federal Republic.
Cet article fait partie de la revue Futuribles n° 241, avr. 1999
