Human history does not proceed like a mechanical construct, the world is too complex for that. And yet, a certain direction and consistency in historical development become visible. Certain decisions made in 1919 by the victorious powers of the First World War led to a new order in the world. We need to know the principles of the shaping of power and domination that underpinned the decisions of that time in order to be able to classify today's events, as well as the actions of political decision-makers. This is the only way to succeed in recognizing a structure in the supposed chaos around us. We want to serve this learning from history with our book.
The insights gained then ask us to take a close look again and again when political decisions are made. The consequences must be borne not only by us, but even more so by the future inhabitants of this planet.
This book aims to use critical events to show how this process of European integration proceeded and what important results it has led to. The relationship between France and Germany after the Second World War and since the reunification of Germany and Europe after 1990 is the focus of our analysis. We will show how the relationship between the two economically and politically most important states in Europe, with the EU as the decisive shaping framework, has developed.
We are paying particular attention to the role of the United States as the actor that has decisively shaped the creation process and consequently the political structures, as well as the geopolitical role of the EU.
Biographical information about the author A characteristic feature of Georg von Goldbach's life is the polarity between his firm roots in tradition and family on the one hand, and his great geographical and intellectual mobility on the other. Throughout his life, he maintained his center in the Allgäu-Swabian homeland, even during his various studies in Munich, Berlin, Paris and Boston, which he completed with two academic Master's degrees and a PhD. This also applies during his professional career from 1983 to 2023, when he worked as a political advisor and management consultant in more than 50 countries on 4 continents, always keeping the center of his life in his birthplace. Just being Swabian or German was, however, not sufficient for him. Becoming a citizen of the world became his self-determination and the purpose of his life. This is providing us with a direct reference to the central message of this book, which calls for a conscious recognition of the historical, geographical, and cultural roots of peoples and nations. The strength that such roots confer is the essential foundation for leaving a positive impact during the storms and challenges of life. Georg von Goldbach's academic education is based on the three pillars of political economy, social anthropology and consulting for organizational development and international strategic reform processes. This also indicates the perspectives taken in this book for the analysis of international economic and political events, as well as related processes. Social anthropology may well be seen as the bridging link, because it presumes that the human being, in the context of the living environment, always has to be put at the center of our considerations. The Swabian poet and thinker Bert Brecht put it rightly when he said: Man is Man's fate. If we want to understand this word deeply and also take it seriously, then we embark directly on the common path to freedom and peace, which this book also wants to point out to humanity.
