German-American relations have become interesting again. U.S.
President Donald Trump's lukewarm policy toward Europe has ensured
that the relationship between Berlin and Washington is once again
regarded as an important field of scholarship within global
politics. And yet it was only a few years ago that German-American
relations seemed to take second place to transatlantic relations in
general, and the European Union (EU)-USA relationship in
particular. The advent of Donald Trump as US President in January
2017 has made all the difference. Trump's difficult personal
relationship with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and his
denigration of everything the Western world - including the USA
itself - has stood for since 1949, have given a new significance to
German-American relations in practice and theory. This volume
offers an empirical and conceptual analysis of German-American
relations in the 21st century and highlights the serious and
perhaps unprecedented challenges the two countries face at present.
The authors discuss a number of aspects of the current, much more
fragile state of German-American relations from different
perspectives. This book was originally published as a special issue
of the journal German Politics.
