When Germany was unified and the Cold War in Europe ended in 1990, there were numerous predictions that the "new" Germany would pursue a quite different foreign policy to that which was practised in the "old" Federal Republic. The "new" Germany would be less inhibited in the exercise of power and pursuit of its putative national interests, less inclined to support further European integration and less "multilateralist". Germany, in short, would become more like a "normal" Great Power. The contributions to this volume, from scholars and analyses of German foreign policy in Germany, the USA, France, Britain, Poland and Belgium, analyze how and the extent to which German foreign and European policy has changed since German unification. In general, they find that there is greater continuity than change in post-unification German policy. In particular, German foreign policy has retained its strong multilateral orientation - a commitment to developing and preserving strong regional and international organizations and pursuing German interests in and through them.
