经济危机以来德国社会思潮的新动向

Abstract:This article discusses trends of Germany’s social thoughts since the Great Recession from three aspects. Firstly，anti-globalization protest is considered to be the latest manifestation of a decades-old tradition of German left-wing social movements with an anti-capitalist agenda. Secondly，the German government has been vigorously challenged domestically during the process of offering financial aid to heavily indebted euro-zone countries such as Ireland，Portugal and Greece. The party AfD and eurosceptic sentiment rise during the process. Thirdly，the emergence of Pegida has also brought the growth of anti-immigrant sentiment. And the campaign rhetoric and demonstrations of Pegida has also brought new tension in the country and also shocked the public and the academic community This paper concludes that the Great Recession and in particular the sovereign debt crisis provided a political opportunity for both the revival of left-wing anti-globalization movements and for the rise of right-wing groupings such as Pegida and the AfD. In short， Germany is experiencing a polarization of strong social movements and of anti -establishment critique.
