Wise, Michael Z., - Capital Dilemma. Germany`s Search for a New Architecture of Democracy.

A journalist who has covered Central Europe, Wise brings narrative flair and thoroughgoing research to this story of the politics, aesthetics, and historical implications of Germany`s decision, following reunification, to move its government seat from Bonn to Berlin (Verlagstext). - Einbd. gering stockfl., ansonsten sehr guter Zustand.
