The authors argue that the German tradition of using education to attain social and political goals continues in the two Germanys of the postwar period. The authors draw a complete portrait of the constitutional and institutional differences between the systems and of the tensions that exist between theory and practice, providing a clear understanding of the general educational problems in Western democracies and Eastern communist states.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716866507040,"sku":"NEW0275924602","price":102.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51iUfPiVcuL.jpg?v=1779403042","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/estranged-twins-education-and-society-in-the-two-germanys-praeger-special-studies-in-comparative-education-0275924602","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
