Germany’s Strategic Reorientations, Present and Past
Germany's strategic reorientation under the Olaf Scholz-led coalition means the end of the civilian-power paradigm and the return of garrison states to European security following the shock of Russia's war on Ukraine. Lessons can be drawn from the previous revolution in Germany's strategic culture that took place in the 1950s under Konrad Adenauer and from the failures of adaptation in Germany's security policies since reunification in 1990. Scho…
China and Russia Policy in the 2021 Election and Beyond
The new German government resulting from the 2021 Bundestag election will have to revise and reshape the legacy of the Merkel era's policies on Russia and China. Germany's own interests as a geoeconomic power will have to be balanced against concerns about the values of these two illiberal states and the strategic challenges they pose. The new coalition government in Germany will have to find consensus between three parties that hold often confli…

Different Approaches to Russia: The German–American–Russian Strategic Triangle
Russia has been both a divisive and a unifying force in the German–American relationship. It has been the focal point in this relationship since the end of World War II. During the cold war, the Soviet threat held Washington and Bonn together despite some important divergences in interests and policies. During the 1950s Adenauer's 'policy of strength' emphasised western solidarity and a strong military approach based on NATO and the European Comm…
Partners in Leadership? American Views of the New German Role
The German–American relationship has become the pivot in the larger transatlantic partnership. This is the result of both the rise of Germany as a foreign policy actor due to an increase of its power as well as the decline of France and Britain as European powers. As American policy makers reassess the role of Europe in their broader foreign policy, Germany will be seen as a key partner both in Europe and on broader global issues. However there a…
Germany's Aussenpolik After the Election
The German election of 2017 has produced an unstable government which is unlikely to offer the kind of leadership in foreign and security policy that Europe and the larger West need in a turbulent time. Chancellor Angela Merkel will be in a weaker position than before with the loss of key cabinet positions to the Social Democrats and the Bavarian Christian Social Union. Many will be looking past her as the struggle to succeed her will in - crease…
Germany: From Civilian Power to a Geo-economic Shaping Power
Germany has become a geo-economic power since its unification in 1990. Its foreign policy agenda has been shaped by its economic interests and the role of its export sector. Nevertheless, Russian actions in Ukraine and elsewhere in Europe combined with the accession of the Trump Administration in the United States and the rise of China have resulted in a transition in the foreign policy paradigm toward Germany as a shaping power and more of a geo…
Germany, Russia and the Rise of Geo-Economics
Having emerged from the end of the Cold War as a unified country, Germany has quickly become the second largest exporter in the world. Its economic might has made it the center of the Eurozone and the pivotal power of Europe. Like other geo-economic powers, Germany's foreign policy is characterized by a definition of the national interest in economic terms and the elevation of economic interests over non-economic values such as human rights or de…
Germany's Commercial Realism and the Russia Problem
Berlin's geo-economic model has ceded foreign policy to commercial interests. While the German public and media are among Putin's most vocal critics, they remain reluctantly realist on the use of sanctions. Additional informationNotes on contributorsStephen F. Szabo is Executive Director of the Transatlantic Academy, Washington DC, and the author of Germany, Russia and the Rise of Geo-economics (Bloomsbury, forthcoming in 2014)
Welcome to the Post-Western World
A more pluralistic, less structured security system [will incorporate] a decline in America's power [and] a rapid increase in China's relative power, but without an accompanying willingness or ability to take on global responsibilities
The Washington Bubble: Why US Foreign Policy Is Oversized
Given the growing limits on both American and Western power, the United States will have to learn to live with unpleasant states and avoid an infinitely elastic sense of its interests and power
Can Berlin and Washington Agree on Russia
Angela Merkel's Germany
In part because of deadlock within the government on domestic policy, the chancellor has turned to foreign policy as her main stage
The United States and Germany in the Era of the Cold War, 1945–1990: A Handbook
These volumes were originally published in 2004. The close association between the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany was a key element in the international order of the Cold War era. No country had as wide-reaching or as profound an impact on the western portion of divided Germany as the United States. No country better exemplified the East–West conflict in American thinking than Germany. The United States and Germany in the Era o…
