Opis

After Berlin's refusal to back Washington in its policy in Iraq in 2003, German foreign policy has again become the subject of debate. How has German foreign policy changed in recent years? Where is German foreign policy headed now? This volume provides answers to those questions, based on careful analysis of recent developments in a range of key policy areas by an authoritative group of German and international scholars.
