Germany and the European Union

This book aims to present a coherent picture of Germanys European policy during Merkels chancellorship. At the same time, it traces the development of the EU in the period 20052021. Accordingly, the European crises and the internal and external threats to the integration community are addressed, as well as the jointly developed solutions. Thus, on the one hand, the book shows what Germany was willing to do for Europe; on the other, it reveals how the EU was able to develop further as the most important point of reference for German politics and power.
