Established scholars on both sides of the Atlantic offer a broad
perspective of the central themes in German-American relations in
the twentieth century and show how the most current developments
have evolved. This interpretive survey helps fill a major gap in
the literature covering the long-term relationships between Germany
and the United States and demonstrates how liberal democratic
values have been upheld. Policymakers concerned with U.S. foreign
policy and German and European relations will find this edited
collection illuminating. Students and scholars in government,
international relations, and European studies will find this work
valuable. This edited collection describes the mixture of idealism
with which American foreign policy has traditionally viewed
republican government and peaceful international relations and the
pragmatism involved in securing American interests after 1945 and
supporting a prosperous German republic. At the same time it deals
with the extent to which German objectives have been consistent
with American goals. The book begins with a discussion of the
Kantian ideal of an international civil society and its place in
the tradition of U.S. foreign policy. The middle chapters deal with
the evolution of that tradition from Wilsonian precepts after World
War I to American tutelage in the establishment and protection of
the Federal Republic. The final chapters confront Germany's place
in Europe after 1989 and attempt to answer the question: Has
American idealism been realistic?
