In this book, Edouard Husson, a native of France, and Ulrike Reisner, a native of Austria, take a special look at Germany after the 2025 federal elections. They explore the political division in Germany, whose roots go back a long way. The authors trace the broad outlines of Germany's foreign and economic policy and highlight examples of misguided decisions made in recent decades. The apparent geopolitical timidity that German politics has long been accused of in Europe is critically assessed in an evaluation of Euro-Atlantic alliance policy since the end of the Cold War. The authors attempt to show that the special relationship between the United States and Germany has become a decisive obstacle to the reorientation of Europe in the new multipolar world order.
