Opis

More durable than any other contemporary democratic head of government and all previous German chancellors since Bismarck, Helmut Kohl has earned a place in history by helping to end his own nations's division and shape a new Europe. In this volume, his leadership and legacy are assessed, and the contributors analyze the chancellor's goals and governing style, including his part in promoting European integration, as well as Kohl's domestic political role - vis a vis his own party, its main opponents and the public - among fellow European leaders.
