Content:
"Labor Relations Democratic institutions have succeeded far better in the Federal Republic of Germany than in the Weimar Republic, and the lessons of this experience are important for anyone who hopes to encourage the spread of democracy in the world today. Most scholars focus on specialized studies of either the Weimar or the Federal Republic, however; we have very few well researched long-term studies that seek to explain why the former collapsed and the latter flourished. Many factors have been identified that help to explain the success of the Federal Republic, including Allied occupation policy after 1945, the Marshall Plan to assist economic recovery, a favorable international economic environment, a learning process among German politicians and voters, and the leveling impact on German society of the Nazi dictatorship and Second World War."
