摘要

THE demise of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) came as a sur-rnprise to most western observers. For historians of modern Europe, itsrndisappearance remains remarkable for at least two reasons. First, EastrnGermany has ceased to exist in an era when new states are constantly beingrnborn. Since the French Revolution unleashed the power of national self-deter-rnmination as an ordering principle more than 200 years ago, new sovereign statesrnhave continued to emerge across the globe, whether through the breakup ofrnmultiethnic and colonial empires or the dissolution of pan-Slavic states inrneastern Europe. Illiberal governments have been swept aside, often with thernresult that new states have been cast out of imperial entities by the centrifugalrnforce of cultural attachment. In the history of European political sovereigntyrnduring the twentieth century, the particular has triumphed over the universal.rnExcept in the case of the GDR. Against the tide of European history, thernGDR has gone from sovereign state (East Germany) to regional designationrn(eastern Germany). In this sense, the story of the GDR’s absorption by arnlarger polity is a tale of modern state-building told in reverse.
