Description and Table of Contents

Description

This is the first attempt of its kind to analyse foreign policymaking in reunified Germany. The contributors cover all actors and institutions that influence foreign policy directly or indirectly, taking into account modern Germany's wider foreign relations. To this end, they examine not only classical foreign policy institutions like the Chancellery, Foreign Office and Ministry of Defence, but also other organisations such as specialised ministries, the Lander Parliament, political parties, NGOs, and the media. Built on the insights of practical experience in diplomacy, administration and Parliament as well as academic research, this volume offers an invaluable guide to German foreign policy since reunification and projects its future development at the dawn of the twenty-first century.
