'Die Revolution 1989 ermöglichte einen geeinten Nationalstaat in Europa. Dies ist bislang im Westen nicht angenommen und im Osten nicht verkraftet. Im Osten wirkt die revisionistische Sprache der Postkommunisten, im Westen dominiert eine Sprache der political correctness, die sich im Zuge einer 'Auschwitz-Identität' und der 'Selbstanerkennung' des westlichen Teilstaats ausgebildet hat. Auch in der Wissenschaft haben DDR-Themen an Bedeutung verloren. Häufig wird der Diktaturcharakter der DDR bestritten. Ähnliches gilt für das bundesdeutsche Rechtswesen, das die politischen Akte der Revolution nicht berücksichtigt oder gar als rechtsstaatswidrig deklariert. In unsrer politischen Kultur sind kaum Spuren des Fundamentes zu erkennen, auf dem die vereinte Republik ruht, die Revolution von 1989.' (Autorenreferat)'The Revolution of 1989 made a unified German national state in Europe possible. Up to the present day, the West has not accepted this, nor has the East been able to take it. In the East, the revisionist language of post-communists dominates, and in the West, there is a language of political correctness which developed in the course of an 'Auschwitz identity' and of the 'self-acknowledgement' of the Western partial state. In academic areas too, GDR topics have lost in importance. Often, the dictatorial character of the GDR is denied. It goes similarly for the Federal German system of justice, which does not know the political aspects of the Revolution, or even declares them as infringing the constitutional state. In our political culture, there are hardly any traces of the fundament on which the unified Republic rests, the Revolution of 1989.' (author's abstract)|

Governance Reform Under Real-World Conditions : Citizens, Stakeholders, and VoiceOdugbemi, Sina; Jacobson, Thomas (Washington, DC : World Bank, 2012-05-29)This book is a contribution to efforts to improve governance systems around the world, particularly in developing countries. It offers a range of innovative approaches and techniques for dealing with the most important nontechnical challenges that prevent many of those efforts from being successful or sustainable. By so doing, the book sets out the groundwork for governance reform initiatives. Its overarching argument is that the development community is not lacking the tools needed for technical solutions to governance challenges. The toolbox is overflowing; best practice manuals in various areas of interest tumble out of seminars and workshops. However, difficulties arise when attempts are made to apply what are often excellent technical solutions under real-world conditions. Human beings, acting either alone or in groups small and large, are not as amenable as are pure numbers. And they cannot be put aside. In other words, in the real world, reforms will not succeed, and they will certainly not be sustained, without the correct alignment of citizens, stakeholders, and voice.

Political Alternation as a Restraint on Investing in Influence : Evidence from the Post-Communist TransitionMilanovic, Branko; Horowitz, Shale; Hoff, Karla (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2008-10)The authors develop and implement a method for measuring the frequency of changes in power among distinct leaders and ideologically distinct parties that is comparable across political systems. The authors find that more frequent alternation in power is associated with the emergence of better governance in post communist countries. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that firms seek durable protection from the state, which implies that expected political alternation is relevant to the decision whether to invest in influence with the governing party or, alternatively, to demand institutions that apply predictable rules, with equality of treatment, regardless of the party in power.
