Abstract
In some ways the East German revolution of November 1989 revealed the failure of German political science, both East and West. East German political scientists were neither catalysts of nor participants in the protest movement. West German political scientists failed to foresee the crises and breakdown of the regime or even give an adequate analysis of the starting point of German unification. Despite tremendous difficulties the two German states are now growing together. Political science is only one small aspect in this transformation. However, the transformation of the discipline illustrates the complexity of the process of unification, with its encumbrances, radical breaks, and continuities. As a pars pro toto political science mirrors the process by which the East German society will develop and what will be left of the old political order.' 1
