| The historiographical concept of a German Sonderweg has had a turbulent history. |
|
| While some historians have abandoned the Sonderweg thesis, they have not provided a generally accepted alternative interpretation. |
|
| The Sonderweg hypothesis attributed Germany's difficult 20th century to the weak political, legal, and economic basis of the new empire. |
|
| For reasons that puzzle a reviewer with a background in French history, Germanists still seem preoccupied, either as supporters or opponents, with the Sonderweg. |
|
| Beck allows the final meaning of his work to be dictated by the Sonderweg debate, whereas he might have searched for other continuities and discontinuities. |
