Description

Given the militarism of the Empire and Nazi Germany, why did postwar West Germany experience massive waves of peace protest in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1980s? How have postwar peace movements shaped German political culture? Will the cultural norms that frown on the use of military force constrain foreign policy in the new, unified, Germany? In Paradoxes of Peace, Alice Holmes Cooper traces the evolution of peace movements in West Germany (1945-90) and in united Germany since 1990. Cooper examines the domestic and international constellations that gave rise to the peace movements, the sources of their multi-faceted ideologies and participants, and their organizational structures and strategies. The author then investigates the peace movement's response to the challenges of the post-Cold War world. Whereas previous work on German peace movements has concentrated on one period of mobilization or on elite security-policy debates, this comprehensive study examines all phases of mobilization since 1945, taking into account the full spectrum of actors, movement organization and strategy, and the broad political, social, and economic environments spawning peace protest. Arguing that theories of resource mobilization, changes in values, and crises of modernity are insufficient to explain peace movements, Paradoxes of Peace tailors a political process approach to postwar German movements. It investigates the political opportunities--the changing domestic and international constellation--which most favored peace mobilization since 1945. It examines the process through which the peace movement transformed popular consciousness and created a peace constituency. It analyzes how German peace movements gradually built an indispensable organizational infrastructure autonomous from parties and other social institutions. Cooper argues that the convergence of these factors determined the movement's capacity to mobilize and have political impact and allowed these to grow over time. Alice Holmes Cooper is Assistant Professor of Government, University of Virginia. Review "Paradoxes of Peace will prove a useful source of information for readers interested in the influence of domestic and foreign policy upon the success of new social movements." --German Politics--German Politics (04/01/1999) From the Back Cover This book provides a showcase for the best current research and discussion in German studies bringing together in an interdisciplinary setting developments in German-speaking Europe and original contributions from the English-speaking world. This comprehensive study examines all phases of mobilization since 1945. The research presented here draws on a wide range of sources including interviews with activists, writings by peace movement groups, public opinion surveys, newspaper accounts, and church documents.
