From the Paper
" In December of 1991, the nations of the European Community signed the Maastricht Treaty, an accord which was intended to mark a major step forward toward the complete economic integration of Europe, and the culmination of a process that had begun in the 1950s. Business and political leaders around the world regarded "1992" with mingled enthusiasm and anxiety; it would mark the birth, so it was supposed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, of a new economic superpower. In mid-1992, however, Denmark failed to ratify the Maastricht Treaty. The defeating vote was narrow--50.7 percent of the Danish electorate voted against the measure--but it at once stalled the formal process, and signalled a much broader anxiety among Europeans regarding the impending integration..

This anxiety took a variety of forms, at several levels. On.."

"Introduction
Advances in technology, particularly the introduction of computers, have made it possible for investors in Los Angeles to purchase shares of a company based in Tokyo which has operations in Europe. This globalization has had the effect of "shrinking" the world. As transactions which were once limited to a particular country or region have become international, the differences among regional organizations and activities have become noticeable. Stock exchanges have emerged in many different countries as a way for companies to raise capital; while the essential points of financial markets are similar throughout the world, there are critical differences which have become important as trading has shifted to take place on a global scale. This research examines two of the most important markets in the international arena.."

Abstract
The paper explores the movements of Pan-Germanism, the Linzer Programm, the Deutsche Verband and the beliefs of nationalists and the fringe philosophers of post-Empire Vienna. The paper then discusses their influence on Adolf Hitler and the subsequent founding of the Nazi Party. The paper therefore shows how the philosophical, cultural and historical underpinnings of the Austrian Pan-Germanist movement are important precedents to the subsequent rise of Nazism, the Anschluss and the Holocaust.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Austria's empire had been under substantial pressure for several decades prior the decision to split Austria and Hungary into a dual monarchy in 1867 (Burant 1989). The Austrians lost significant land and sovereignty to the French in 1806, which represents the time when the decline of the Habsburg Empire would begin. The period from 1806 to 1859 was marked by a gradual reduction in power and influence by the Habsburgs over the remnants of the Holy Roman Empire. During this same period, the German principalities and kingdoms were combining in ways that would assure their future industrial success, most notably with the German Customs Union of the 1840's, and the eventual combination of German regions to form the modern nation in 1861."

The paper's format is presented in the form of several subject headings followed by discussion and analysis according to the topic. The focus of the paper is the opposition to the reunification, comprised mainly of Great Britain, France, and Poland. The paper begins with the situation in East Germany in the late 80s, covering the Montagsdemonstrationen organized by Christian Fuehrer, heading on to the "Einigungsvertrag" and the integration of the GDR into Western Germany. This is followed by an analysis of the political concerns evinced by France, Poland, and Great Britain. A summary of the research and salient findings are presented in the conclusion.

From the Paper
". It happened so quickly that many observers were taken by surprise. The events that ultimately led to the collapse of the former Soviet Union were characterized by half-measures and false starts that created the conditions needed to fuel further social unrest and political discord. According to Niven and Thomaneck, the fact that former GDR leader Erich Honecker's attempt at political crisis management and linguistic "democracy" propaganda had failed became clear in the autumn of 1989, when the working people of Germany reminded him: "We are the people." These authors report that, "Whereas the Polish free trade union Solidarity movement did not in any noticeable way capture the mood of the working people in the GDR, the policy shifts announced by Mikhail Gorbachev after his appointment as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1985 triggered a new political discourse in East Germany" (57). At the time, Gorbachev recognized that the system of "actually existing socialism" simply could not endure in its existing form, either in the Soviet Union or in the Eastern bloc as a whole (Niven & Thomaneck 57)."
