Abstract

The former German Democratic Republic, a laboratory for reforming local public action? German unification coincided with plans for reforming local policy-making. Districts in the former GDR served as a laboratory for experimenting with these plans, which borrowed as much from corporate neomanagerial doctrines as from ideas about participatory democracy. These attempts at modernization have not met with the hoped-for success. Various political and administrative legacies have combined so as to restrict the application of reforms in localities in the former GDR.
