German Politics and Society Traverses Twenty Years of United Germany(Berghahn Journals, 2010) Maier, CharlesThis essay looks at postunification Germany through the pages of German Politics and Society. The articles published during this period reveal the evolution of intellectuals' understanding of the unified country—concerns that mirrored changes in social, political, and cultural reality. Of course, academics are beholden to their own histories and Weltanschauung, a fact that produced, at times, prescient, sometimes fragmentary, and sometimes alarmist interpretations and analyses of the country in an attempt to provide orientation. Nevertheless, this review shows how German watchers have slowly up-dated their paradigms and are now not worrying as much about a mellowed, less German country that has fascinated them over the decades.Publication Economic Consequences of the Peace, Social Consequences of the War(Il Mulino, 2009) Maier, CharlesThe article presents a debate on John Maynard Keynes' "The Economic Consequences of the Peace" and the social consequences of war. The article presents biographical information pertaining to the economist as published in "John Maynard Keynes, vol. 1, Speranze tradite 1883-1920," written by R. Skidelsky. It then outlines Keynes' beliefs on the viability of the Versailles Treaty and the negative influence that United States president Woodrow Wilson played during the peace conference and discusses the public reaction to Keynes' book.Publication Between Surprise and Social Science(European University Institute, 2009) Maier, CharlesSocial scientists and historians have been living in a world of unexpected outcomes. The revival of passionate political ideologies in the l960s, the reversal of predicted secularization in the modern world, the collapse of communist regimes at the end of the l980s, and the contemporary economic crisis were all events that flew in the face of social-science predictions and analyses. But despite its prevalence most social science has not attempted to deal with surprise as a category of event. This essay seeks to analyze surprise at least as a category of explanation and narrative, one that mediates between counter-factual and factual.Publication The Two Postwar Eras and the Conditions for Stability in Twentieth-Century Western Europe(University of Chicago Press, 1981) Maier, CharlesPublication The Two Postwar Eras and the Conditions for Stability: Reply(University of Chicago Press, 1981) Maier, CharlesPublication What Have We Learned Since 1989?(Cambridge University Press, 2009) Maier, Charles
