Germany's Zeitenwende: The Security and Defense Dimensions
After reviewing the pacifist tradition of German foreign policy, this article explores the shock of the Russian unleashing of a war on European soil. The article then proceeds to explain the various dimensions of German support for Ukraine, especially in increased military spending and energy uncoupling from Moscow. While conceding that German help often arrived slowly, the article nonetheless depicts the dramatic shift in German policy, which ha…
Terrorism and Transatlantic Relations: Threats and Challenges
The Oxford Handbook of German Politics
Few countries have caused or experienced more calamities in the twentieth century than Germany. The country emerged from the Cold War as a newly united and sovereign state, eventually becoming Europe’s indispensable partner for all major domestic and foreign policy initiatives. This Oxford Handbook of German Politics provides a comprehensive overview of some of the major issues of German domestic politics, economics, foreign policy, and culture b…

Angela Merkel and Donald Trump – Values, Interests, and the Future of the West
German Chancellor Merkel and US President Donald Trump did not get off to a good start. Their relationship so far has been lukewarm at best. Trump's deficits in understanding and lack of support for democracy and the liberal world order as it was established by Trump's predecessors in the mid-1940s deeply worries European politicians. In view of their own past history and the expectation that Germany may have to step in and become the western wor…

Churchill's ‘Iron Curtain’ Speech in Context: The Attempt to Achieve a ‘Good Understanding on All Points’ with Stalin's Soviet Union
More than 70 years ago, on 5 March 1946, former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill delivered his ‘iron curtain’ speech at Westminster College in Fulton. The speech immediately attracted worldwide attention and proved to be highly controversial. Most contemporaries in East and West and the vast majority of subsequent historians interpreted the speech as Churchill's call for western resistance to Stalin's expansionist policies and the continu…

Britain and the Cold War, 1945–1990
This chapter examines the role of Great Britain in the Cold War. It describes the condition and experiences of Britain from 1945 to 1990 and explores how Britain managed to maintain its global influence during the Cold War, despite its decline. The chapter argues that although Britain was forced to operate within structure of the Cold War, the British state and its leaders were able to make their own political decisions. Examples of these include…

The United States and the Nuclear Dimension of European Integration
The Scandinavian scholar Gunnar Skogmar argues in this book that “a dominant consideration in the American support of European integration was the wish to prevent, retard or minimize nationally controlled nuclear weapons in Germany and France, and developments towards a European ‘Third Force’ outside nato” (p. 3). While not ignoring the political and economic forces for European integration, the author concentrates on the much-overlooked nuclear …
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…

Westbindungen: Amerika in der Bundesrepublik
This ambitious and nicely produced volume deals with an important and increasingly trendy subject: the “Americanization” of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). The book's thirteen authors give a comprehensive overview of the impact of the United States on West German politics, economics, and society since World War II; most of the chapters focus on the 1950s and 1960s. Of particular interest is Bernd Greiner's contribution, which helpfully sum…
Churchill's Cold War: The Politics of Personal Diplomacy
Churchill's techniques of government, as historians have long recognized, were distinctly unconventional. Energetic, self-confident and persuasive, he preferred to act outside official civil service channels when the stakes were high. In terms of foreign policy, summit diplomacy - the cultivation of personal contacts to achieve national objectives - was his preferred modus operandi. At its best his direct intervention could be heroically successf…
Modernization as Ideology: American Social Science and "Nation Building" in the Kennedy Era
Much current work on the Cold War focuses on the role of ideology in American foreign policy. Mi cha el E. La tha m has produced a particularly interesting study. Although not free from some repetitions of his main hypotheses, Latham's book significantly contributes to our knowledge about the ideological driving forces behind American Cold War policy in the late 1950s and the 1960s. With the help of three case studies dealing with Washington's Al…
Uneasy Allies: British—German Relations and European Integration since 1945
Throughout the second half of the 20th century, fundamental differences in values and policy can be discerned in British-German relations. For historical, political, and economic reasons, the collective memories of both nations have retained very different identities and attitudes towards each other and towards the European continent and European integration. Yet, Britain is one of the most significant European partners for Germany and Germany is…

Brandt's widow Brigitte Seebacher‐Brandt attempted to rewrite the history of Ostpolitik and Brandt's role in German politics from a neo‐conservative point of view. She suggested that Herbert Wehner, the SPD ‘s former parliamentary leader, had been instrumental in forcing her husband's resignation in 1974, and, above all, may h…
