Olivia Wang

Ms. Wang proposes to examine the structure and dynamic of the relationship between the two worker parties of Weimar Germany, the Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands (KPD) and the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP). Her work will concentrate on the use of violent tactics by both parties during the latter phase of the Weimar Republic and the corresponding effects on democratic governance in Weimar Germany. She hopes her work will contribute to the field of International Relations by offering a new perspective on the rationale behind politically motivated acts of violence.
