Academic Scientific JournalsEuropean integration and the position of Germany in Europe
Keywords:
European Union, Germany, eurozoneAbstract
In the article, we compare the process of German unification (more generally, of defining the German unity and, more broadly, the unity of German-speaking territories) after WWI and WWII. A search for similarities and differences between these processes allows us to analyse the present stage of the European integration, as a part of which the unification of two German states was accomplished at the cost of Germany’s acceptance for the creation of the European monetary union, and so – for the deepening of the integration. We analyse various consequences of the unification of Germany and the creation of the eurozone, which, in our opinion, go far beyond the economic or political ones and are connected with the EU Eastern enlargement.
