民主德国民族统一政策的演变及评价

Development of the Unification Policy in the German Democratic Republic

建国初,民主德国坚持一个民族的立场并积极争取实现国家和民族的统一。然而,随着国内外局势的变化,统一社会党政府在民族统一立场上不断后退,最终在20世纪70年代提出了"两个民族"理论和实行了民族分离主义政策。民族统一政策的调整不仅未能保障民主德国的长期稳定,还导致民主德国丧失了在民族问题上的主导权,这也是民主德国消亡的一个重要因素。

During the early statehood period, the German Democratic Republic （GDR） adhered to the ＂one nation＂ view and actively strived for the unity of the country and the nation. However, with domestic and international changes, the Government of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany continued to concede the argument of national unity, and ultimately in the 1970s proposed the ＂two nations＂ theory and practiced the national separatist policy. The adjustment of the national unity policy not only failed to protect the long-term stability in Germany, also led to the lost of GDR＇s leadership position to solve the national problem, which is an important factor of GDR＇s demise.
