Résumé anglais Claus Offe, Wellbeing, Nation, Republic : Aspects of the "German Way" in the Transition from Socialism to Capitalism Social integration can occur in three different functional modes : the politico-constitutional, the cultural-national and the economic. Eastern Germany has represented a relatively pure form of the third ideal type. Its disintegration is more the result of an historical accident provoked by largely external causes than that of a political decision to change (or of an exhausting of its mode of politico-economic development). Beyond short term political calculations, unification with West Germany must also be understood in terms of economic categories. However, economic integration is quite fragile. It is for this reason that East Germany required a repressive governing structure. And it is for this reason that political elites today have recourse to an instrumentalized nationalism that will create as many problems as it resolves.
