Germany's European Diplomacy by Simon Bulmer
The way Germany engages with the other states of the EU is often oversimplified and misunderstood. This book offers a nuanced analysis of the German role in the EU, using a novel approach which identifies German influence in the EU in terms of soft power. Rather than pursuing interests at the expense of other states, this book focuses on the creation of a milieu of multilateral cooperation in which Germany's diplomatic interests can flourish.
