This thoroughly revised and updated edition provides a
comprehensive introduction to contemporary Germany, one of the
world's foremost economic and political powers. During a series of
profound crises over the last decade, including migration
challenges, Brexit, and the Covid-19 pandemic, Germany has emerged
as the undisputed leader of the European Union. One of the world's
strongest economies, it exports goods, services, and ideas around
the world. In foreign policy, it has taken on a more prominent
role, especially with its pursuit of soft power. Yet, as adept as
German policy making has been, the challenges have produced strains
that reveal the limits of German influence. Moreover, after sixteen
years in power, Chancellor Angela Merkel will retire and new
leadership will guide the country through the 2020s. Looking back,
Eric Langenbacher traces the country's transformation since the
seminal turning points of 1945 after World War II and 1990 after
reunification. Looking to the present, the author explains and
assesses its major institutions, actors, and issues. Looking
forward, he explores the looming economic, security, and
demographic challenges Germany must address in the years to come.
