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.

Prof. Gisela Müller-Brandeck-Bocquet held Jean Monnet Chair for European Studies and International Relations at the University of Würzburg.

"Practitioners and scholars alike will find great use in the detailed tracing of the decision-making processes on the EU level in navigating the poly-crisis. ... Müller-Brandeck-Bocquet's book expertly examines and demonstrates that despite the growing pragmatism in Germany's EU policy, the successive Merkel governments adhered to the German raison d'état to make a continuous and substantial contribution to European unification."
