The Paradox of German Power
Hans Kundnani explains how Germany got to where it is now and where it might go in future. He explores German national identity and foreign policy through a series of tensions in German thinking and action: between continuity and change, between 'normality' and 'abnormality', between economics and politics, and between Europe and the world.
The book primarily focuses on contemporary German foreign policy and its underlying tensions, rather than providing a comprehensive historical survey. It analyzes how historical legacies continue to influence Germany's current international role.
While the book delves into complex geopolitical concepts, it is written in a clear and analytical style that aims to make the arguments understandable to a broad audience interested in European politics and Germany's global position.
