Most current and fundamental political topics like the financial crisis or the deployment of military forces in Afghanistan show that they can only be solved in a wider international context. This is not new and the history of the Federal Republic of Germany is a good example. Acknowledged experts from historical-, polticial-, and economic sciences discuss international influence beginning with relations to the West, construction of the wall and eastern contracts ending with the fall of the wall. They, furthermore, discuss the new roles in Germany after the reunion. Where does the European Union lead to? Why do we make war? And where are the German national interests and how do they integrate into the plans of the EU, NATO and United Nations? Essays on the European integration, the employment in Kosovo and Afghanistan show the new challenges for the German foreign and security policy.
