German Historical Perspectives/ New German Historical Perspectives
German Historical Perspectives was established in 1987 as an English-language forum for the dissemination of research by German historians and social scientists to readers in English-speaking countries. Each of the volumes (31 to date) is devoted to a particular theme that is discussed from different points of view in separate essays by specialists. The series has taken up issues prominent in contemporary academic debate and of broad topical interest to Germans and non-Germans alike. It is not limited to the problems of Germany alone but also includes publications and individual essays covering the history of other countries as well as general problems of European political, economic, social and intellectual history, international relations, and studies in comparative history.
