Metamorphosen des staatlichen Gewaltapparates: Über die Entwicklung von Polizei und Militär in Deutschland

Abstract

Since its invention in the 19 th century, the police in Germany gradually has displaced the military as disciplinary power within the state. In the Federal Republic it also shed its military lineage. Thus, at the end of the cold war there existed a clearly demarcated functional differentiation between the police as a civil institution protecting law and order within the state, and the military as an institution projecting its power beyond the state’s borders. With the fall of the iron curtain it now is the army’s turn to undergo profound structural and functional changes: In the context of international missions, the federal armed forces have to show not only military, but also law enforcement (police) competences.
