Five years after the fact, it is possible to analyze German unification with respect to expectations, international impact and internal adjustments - including dramatic structural shifts. German unification, it appears, is changing central Europe, the EU and international economic and political relations generally. The merger of the two Germanies provides a unique laboratory-like example of institutional and economic changes against which established economic theories and economic policy concepts can be tested. German unification raises many new questions for Germany itself, Europe, and the whole international community. Will the enlarged Germany become a new economic giant in Europe and can the FRG maintain stability and prosperity ? What macro-economic and structural problems are faced by the new Germany and what are the effects for trade, investment, and growth in Germany's partner countries ? Will East Germany catch up with the West and can this process serve as a model for Eastern Europe ? What are the views of Poland and the ex-USSR, and what implications arise for Western Europe and the United States ? Finally, how is the triangular relationship between the USA, the EU, and Japan affected, and how does this affect the United States' ability to organize economic cooperation with Japan, Germany, and other leading economies ?
