Acknowledgements

This publication is the result of a seminar co-sponsored by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation and the National Policy Association. The Washington office of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation prepared all the manuscripts for publication and Karen Sykora is to thank for her editing, and for seeing the project through to completion. I would like to thank the National Policy Association, especially Malcolm Lovell and Jim Auerbach for putting the seminar together and for the valuable support and cooperation during the editing process. Helen Pataki helped to organize the seminar and to get the publication off the ground. This publication is an example of a fruitful cooperation between a German and an American institution, both of which are committed to public policy issues.
