K. von Beyme and H. Zimmermann (eds,), Policymaking in the German Democratic Republic (Aldershot: Gower, for the German Political Science Association, 1984. German Political Studies, vol. 5, xi, 401 pp.  18. 50)

The rise of neo-Nazism in the capital of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) was not inspired by a desire to recreate Hitler's Reich, but by youthful rebellion against the political and social culture of the GDR's Communist regime. This is detailed in Fuehrer-Ex: Memoirs of a Former Neo-Naxi by Ingo Hasselbach with Tom Reiss (Random House, New York, 1996). This movement, however, eventually worked towards returning Germany to its former 'glory' under the Third Reich under the guidance of 'professional' Nazis.

Counter Current

An approach utilizing the automodel properties in describing the hydrodynamic behaviour of counter-current columns has been extended to regularly stacked beds. Two new kinds of the packing have been investigated: The so-called K-packing, developed in the German Democratic Republic and the Cellular packing, developed in Poland. The results of experiments have been presented in the form of plots of the normalized liquid hold-up, hp, versus the normalized liquid velocity, Ql, and two empirical correlations. A comparison with previous results with randomly packed counter-current trickle bed columns has also been made.

International Solidarity

AbstractCentral to the official identity of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) was the state's positioning of itself as the antifascist and anti-colonial other to West Germany. This claim was supported by the GDR's extensive programme of international solidarity, which was targeted at causes such as the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. A paradox existed, however, between the vision of a universal proletariat that underpinned the discourse of solidarity and the decidedly more exclusive construct of socialist identity that was fostered in the GDR itself. In this article, I explore some of the processes of othering that were embedded in solidarity narratives by focusing on two quite contrasting musical outputs that were produced in the name of solidarity: the LP Kämpfendes Vietnam, which was released on the Amiga record label in 1967, and the Deutsche Staatsoper's 1973 production of Ernst Hermann Meyer's anti-apartheid opera, Reiter der Nacht.
