In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis Germany became Europe's
most influential nation state. This book aims to provide a
comparative assessment of how this is reflected in the country's
bilateral security relationships with key global and regional
partners. Prepared by an international team of scholars, it will
offer unique, in-depth perspectives on the ways these evolving
interactions affect the prospects for addressing recent and
emerging security challenges. The fact of Germany's (re-)emergence
as Europe's leading state is now undisputed, even if the
implications are not. The post-2008 financial crisis, heightened
conflict along Europe's eastern and southern fringes since 2014,
and the populist political wave across the West have all driven
stronger German engagement in international affairs. While German
policy seeks to exercise "leadership from the middle" via
multilateral frameworks such as the United Nations, NATO, and the
European Union, this entails major adjustments in interactions with
other states. Indeed, the future of the security order built on
these institutions now hinges on the quality of Germany's key
bilateral ties. With such stakes in mind, this volume offers a
comparative assessment of the background, status, and prospects of
a selection of the most significant cases. These investigations
cover Germany's relationships with the US, Russia, UK, France and
China as well as with Poland and the Balkans. The volume concludes
that, though active German leadership is more necessary than ever,
it remains insufficient for European or broader international
security. Germany and its new partners must aim for a balanced
model of cooperation that responds to both the internal and
external challenges of the early twenty-first century.
