What is Germany?

Germany stands as one of the most studied countries in academic writing, appearing across disciplines including history, political science, economics, international business, and cultural studies. Its role in shaping modern Europe — through events such as the Second World War, the division between Western and Eastern Europe, and the rise and fall of political movements — gives students a rich body of material to analyze. Figures like Martin Luther, Johannes Gutenberg, and Adolf Hitler surface repeatedly in coursework, as do questions about how Germany's internal politics and economic power influenced the broader continent and the world.

The papers written on this topic reflect a wide range of approaches. Historical analysis is prominent, with essays examining the social and economic effects of the Second World War, the Hitler Youth, and consolidation of power through events like the Night of the Long Knives. Cultural and media studies approaches appear in work on films such as Good Bye Lenin and discussions of Americanization through businesses like McDonald's operating in Germany. International business and marketing essays treat Germany as a case study in European commerce, entrepreneurship, and company strategy.

A strong essay on Germany benefits from a well-scoped thesis that commits to a specific period, theme, or question rather than attempting to survey the entire country's history or culture. Evidence drawn from primary sources, specific policy decisions, or documented historical events carries more weight than broad generalizations. A common pitfall is treating Germany as a monolithic subject — strong essays acknowledge internal divisions, whether ideological, regional, or temporal, and build their argument around that complexity.

Gladwell's Outliers Applied to Shakespeare's Success
The book "Outliers: The Story of Success" is a non-fiction literary work written by Malcolm Gladwell in 2008. In this book, Gladwell has explained the underlying reasons for the success of certain very famous individuals. He has called such people "outliers", which by definition is any value that lies far away from, or at the extreme ends of, a set of data. Similarly, Gladwell has explained such individuals to be very different from the rest of us, exceptional, far removed in their immense success. In the book Gladwell has explained certain factors he believes are the reason for the success of, say, Bill Gates and the Beatles. These include the "Matthew Effect", which Gladwell has used to explain why many elite Canadian hockey players are all born in the first few months of the year. The reason he gives for this is that, as youngsters, these hockey players had an advantage of being older and hence bigger and more mature than their younger opponents, and therefore received extra coaching. This enabled the likelihood of their being selected into elite hockey leagues. In this way, the stronger kept getting stronger and the weaker (those born in late months and less mature) kept getting weaker, i.e. they did not make it to the major leagues. This is called the "accumulative advantage" by Gladwell, or the "Matthew Effect" (named after a biblical verse in the Gospel of Matthew).

US Hegemony and the Continuity of Imperial Foreign Policy
To state that there are no fundamental differences between international politics in 1900-45 and afterwards would be to carry the argument to an extreme, even though the continuities are greater than the discontinuities. Above all else, the liberal, democratic states and empires in the U.S. and Western Europe were highly interventionist and aggressive in the developing world and Global South long before World War II, and this did not change in the Cold War and post-Cold War eras. Even governments that were democratically elected were sometimes overthrown and replaced by more pliable regimes, such as the ‘friendly' dictators of Central America and the Caribbean. At the same time, though, there has also been far more harmony and cooperation between the Great Powers since 1945 than in the previous fifty years, especially through NATO and the European Union. America's alliance with Japan, Britain, France and Germany has survived various stresses and strains over the decades, and even the collapse of the Soviet Union, and this requires an explanation. None of the imperial powers has fought a major war since the invention of nuclear weapons, even though they have intervened frequently against the non-nuclear states of the developing world. Perhaps this alliance is explained by political and ideological affinities, as liberals maintain, or by cultural affinities as opposed to Muslim and Orthodox civilizations, as Samuel Huntington explains—although admittedly Japan is left as quite an outlier here.
