Notes
"A compelling analysis of Germany."
--The Economist
"A blistering indictment of Germany's modern-day economic domination, by one of Germany's most distinguished intellectuals."
--Daily Mail
"A brilliant and succinct analysis of the political genius of Angela Merkel."
--Charles Moore, Sunday Telegraph
"A short but punchy book by the distinguished German sociologist."
--Prospect
"A welcome tonic to reactionary discourses on the ills of Brussels."
--Times Literary Supplement
"Democracy won't be real in Europe until that kind of law has to be proposed, debated, and voted on by all concerned. Beck has moved us a small step closer to this highly desirable consummation, and to a unified political will in Europe, by getting his readers accustomed to thinking of a 'European Germany' rather than a 'German Europe'."
--Los Angeles Review of Books
"Diagnoses Europe's troubles with a realism and clarity that suggests a long and arduous road ahead."
--Financial Times
"A thought-provoking essay on the European economic crisis, recommended to all interested in this topic."
--Journal of Global Faultlines
"A brilliant analysis of Europe's shifting landscape of power."
--Joschka Fischer, Foreign Minister and Vice Chancellor of Germany, 1998-2005
"An immensely incisive and encouraging book. Not only does it present an eye-opening outlook on Europe's crisis, it also offers a credible solution."
--Daniel Cohn-Bendit, MEP and co-president of the Greens/Free European Alliance Group in the European Parliament
"Ulrich Beck's German Europe is one of those rare and brilliant political tracts that offers us a new language with which to understand the present crisis so that we can shape the future."
--Mary Kaldor, Professor of Global Governance, LSE
