He has also held a number of administrative and editorial positions and served as an elected officer of various professional organizations: Editor and Managing Editor, University of North Carolina Studies in the Germanic Languages and Literatures (1968-1980); Executive Director and Treasurer, South Atlantic Modern Language Assoc. (SAMLA; Nov. 1983-Nov. 1989); Editor, South Atlantic Review (Nov. 1983-Nov. 1989); Chair, Dept. of Germanic Languages, UNC (July 1989-June 1994; term of office began Jan. 1990); Chair, Modern Language Assoc. of America, Division of Twentieth-Century German Literature (1990); Vice President, SAMLA (Nov. 1990-Nov. 1991); President, SAMLA (Nov. 1991-Nov. 1992); Program Director, German Studies Assoc.

Among his abiding scholarly and research interests are Bertolt Brecht (in 1997, he edited A Bertolt Brecht Reference Companion), one of the most influential twentieth-century playwrights as well as a renowned practitioner and theoretician of the theater, and novelist Günter Grass, winner of the Nobel Prize in 1999. During the last few years Siegfried Mews has tended to teach, write, and lecture on the problems arising from the intersection of literature and politics - a problem that has gained new poignancy as a result of the developments occurring after the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification. These events appear to mark the end of the postwar period. In particular, the shifting of the center of political power in Germany from the West (the former capital of Bonn on the Rhine) to the East (the old capital of Berlin) raises intriguing questions as to the future of European integration and transatlantic relations. http://www.unc.edu/depts/german/personnel/mews-v.html

Europe Undivided analyzes how the leverage of an enlarging EU has influenced domestic politics and facilitated a convergence toward liberal democracy among credible future members of the EU in Central and Eastern Europe.
