Muller's chapter "German Neo-Conservatism, ca. 1968-1985: Hermann Lubbe and Others" has previously appeared as "German Neoconservatism and the Historyofthe Bonn Republic, 1968to 1985" in German Politics and Society, vol. 18, no. 1 (Spring, 2000). My "From NationalIdentitytoNationalInterest:TheRise(andFall)ofGermany'sNew Right" first came out in the December 1999issueofGerman Politics, while a different and longer version of"1968asEvent, Milieu,and Ideology"has been published in the February 2002 issue of the Journal of Political Ideologies. I wish to thank the editors of all three journals for their kind permission to reprint thesematerials. Finally,anapologetic note forthe editor appearingtwiceinthe volume a fact due not to the relentless desire for self-promotion typical oftoday's academy,but to thefateofmany edited volumes:acontributordroppingout ashort notice.
