German History and Society Social Policy and Reform Studies Policy Transfer and Learning

Abstract

Following World War II, a poorly funded, piecemeal effort to transfer British and American institutions into West Germany resulted in many positive changes for that nation's citizens. After reunification, however, a more ambitious, well-funded and systematic effort to establish West German institutions in the former GDR has been less effective. Through an analysis of these two cases, the author explores the conditions under which one society can serve as a model for the reshaping of another.
