Product Description
This book examines the extent to which German foreign policy has changed since unification, and analyzes the fundamental reasons behind this change. The book has three main aims. The essays develop theories of foreign policy to predict and explain Germany's foreign policy behavior. They test competing predictions about German foreign policy behavior since unification in several issue areas. They also assess the much-debated question as to whether post-unification Germany's foreign policy is marked by continuity or change. |

The way Germany engages with the other states of the EU is often oversimplified and misunderstood. This book offers a nuanced analysis of the German role in the EU, using a novel approach which identifies German influence in the EU in terms of "soft” power. Rather than pursuing interests at the expense of other states, this book focuses on the creation of a “milieu” of multilateral cooperation in which Germany’s diplomatic interests can flourish.

| | | Germany As a Civilian Power?: The Foreign Policy of the Berlin Republic (Issues in German Politics)
by Sebastian Harnisch (Editor), Hanns W. Maull (Editor)
The depiction of Germany as a "civilian power", committed to non-military means, has deeply influenced analysis of German foreign policy since the last world war. The term "civilian power" evokes the singularity of the pre-unification West German state which defined its foreign policy in reaction to the violent excesses of the Nazi era, and which has subsequently been bound into systems of collective defence and multilateral cooperation as a member of NATO and the United Nations, in which the...
