Course Description: | In this course German external behavior and foreign policy is debated and discussed. Troubled relations with Russia, Turkey, the U.S., the Brexit challenge, and rising populism all trigger rising expectations toward Germany in a world where the liberal order is threatened. What can be stated for sure is that Germany’s external relations, both on state and social levels, are more pragmatic and “normal” than at any time after the end of WWII. This course identifies and discusses the contexts, structures, institutions, and actors of the foreign policy landscape in Germany. Different approaches of global and international politics are used to analyze and map this landscape. During the semester, the seminar offers a historical contextualization of foreign policy in Germany, it discusses the European dimension, regional foci, crucial and current topics, as well as the interests and strategies of the different actors. |
