Without the help and support of some important people, I would have not written this book. First of all, I would like to thank my family, my mother Elisabeth Renner, my brother Thomas Renner and my sister Stefanie Renner, for their constant support for my work, their great patience with my changing moods during the ups and downs of my research and writing, and my mother’s sceptical questions regarding my critical stance towards reconciliation, which she did not always share. I would also like to thank Alexander Spencer for his love and support, his helpful comments and his steady encouragement throughout the research process.

This book is the result of a Dr. Phil. dissertation which I wrote during my time at the Geschwister-Scholl-Institute for Political Science at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich. Here, too, a lot of people supported me and provided an indispensable input to my research. In particular, I would like to thank my supervisors, Professor Christopher Daase and Professor Thomas Diez, for their inspiration and their helpful comments in the early and the later stages of the writing process. I would also like to thank my colleagues at the Geschwister-Scholl-Institute, in particular Tine Hanrieder, Andreas Kruck, Rainer Hülsse, Marina Karbowski, Michel Horelt, Alexander Kocks and Renate Strassner, as well as the participants of our research colloquium for their critical and insightful comments. Furthermore, I would like to thank Professor Bernhard Zangl for his willingness to act as an additional examiner of the dissertation at a late stage of the writing process, and Professor Dieter Kerwer who, with his critical questions, constantly made me find new justification strategies for the discursive approach used in this book. Finally, I would like to thank Jan Tiedemann who was always ready to help when I faced technical problems and the staff at Manchester University Press for their support during the editing process.
