Project Details
Description
In 2014, the German government carried out a strategic review of Germany’s role in the world. In the aftermath of momentous developments in the security constellation in and around Europe—from the Arab uprisings to the Ukraine war - German policy-makers and independent observers have started to interrogate
themselves on the question of Germany’s power, on how this power should be employed and on how it is perceived, both in Germany and abroad. Against this background, this project sets out to take stock of Germany’s new role in the wider European security constellation. It will do so by concentrating on the security implications of three main crises over the past half-decade, where Germany has displayed a different, and dominant positioning:
1) (Geo-)political and military security: The Ukraine war and Russia’s new assertiveness.
2) Societal security: The migrant and refugee crisis
3) Economic security: The Eurozone crisis and Greece’s bailout negotiations. The project employs security analysis as its analytical lens and textual analysis as its methodological approach.
