Sommario/riassunto

This book aims to present a coherent picture of Germany’s European policy during Merkel’s chancellorship. At the same time, it traces the development of the EU in the period 2005–2021. 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. The Author Prof. Gisela Müller-Brandeck-Bocquet holds Jean Monnet Chair for European Studies and International Relations at the University of Würzburg.
