German Angst: Fear and Democracy in the Federal Republic of Germany - Emotions in History
Biess, Frank (Professor of History, Professor of History, University of California, San Diego)
While fear and anxiety have historically been associated with authoritarian regimes, Frank Biess demonstrates the ambivalent role of these emotions in the democratization of West Germany, where fears and anxieties about the country's catastrophic past and uncertain future both undermined democracy and stabilized the emerging Federal Republic.
