title = {Außenpolitik als parlamentarisches Minderterrain – am Beispiel des ostpolitischen Attentismus der Adenauerzeit},
year = {2018},
note = {Imparity of parliamentary influence, common to both the acceptance of
the Versailles Treaty by the Weimar National Assembly and the current
struggle in the British House of Commons over the Brexit deal, was
also a grave problem for the German Bundestag addressing the
government’s Ostpolitik in the 1950’s. The problem revolved around
keeping at least some parts of the territory east of the Oder and
Neiße that indisputably belonged to the German Reich up until 1945,
and thus made up a core element of the state as such. The secret
German-Polish negotiations show that in this case the German
parliament was by far not as well informed as the government. This was
at least one of the reasons why the Bundestag did not and perhaps
could not realize how detrimental to German interests this
wait-and-see attitude was, especially since seen through international
eyes the German position was continually being eroded.},
