6: Reunification and Berlin Introduced by RICHARD HISCOCKS
Professor of International Relations at the University of Sussex
* We are again somebody ' said a young German recently, ' but nobody. including the Germans, knows who the somebody is or what the somebody implies.' This
! problem of identification stems from the continuing divided condition of Germany first and foremost. and secondly from the loss of enormous tracts of territory to the i East because of the War. In spite of a changing West German Foreign Policy toward Eastern Europe the political problem remains syme bolised by the curious position of : Berlin. Since President Kennedy said ' I am a Berliner ' American interest has shifted to the Far East. But for Germans the problem continues.
