Many factors have been identified that help to explain the success of the Federal Republic, including Allied occupation policy after 1945, the Marshall Plan to assist economic recovery, a favorable international economic environment, a learning process among German politicians and voters, and the leveling impact on German society of the Nazi dictatorship and Second World War'-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 $a Democratization and the "German model" for labor relations -- Christian trade unionists and the dissolution of the Weimar Republic -- Christian laborites and the founding of the Federal Fepublic -- The debate over co-determination (Mitbestimmung), 1949-1953 -- The influence of Christian democratic workers on welfare legislation, 1953-1957 -- Seeking a new path in the twilight of the Adenauer era -- The political success and organizational decline of Christian democratic workers, 1966-1980. 610 20 $a Christlich-Demokratische Union Deutschlands (Germany : West) 650 0 $a Christian democracy $z Germany (West) $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Christian democracy $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Labor unions $x History $z Germany (West) $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Labor unions $x History $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Democracy $z Germany (West) $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Democracy $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Germany (West) $x Politics and government $y 1945-1990. 651 0 $a Germany $x Politics and government $y 1918-1933. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210024909.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=743CC33C840911E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
