| Abstract | This dissertation investigates West Germany's Federal Border Police, the Bundesgrenzschutz, and seeks to connect its development to the broader questions surrounding democratization. This case study of the Bundesgrenzschutz sheds new light on important insights into the larger process of West Germany's postwar democratization; it shows how security was re-civilized in the aftermath of the Nazi dictatorship. Drawing upon research in gender history, this study shows how the Bundesgrenzschutz was used to promote conservative ideals of masculinity in West Germany's young men. |
