German's 21st Century Strategy
Dieter Dettke, a Transatlantic Fellow of the German Marshall Fund of the United States and a Current Fellow of the Woodrow Wilson Center
During the 20th century German militarism was at the heart of two devastating world wars and untold human suffering. Today, the Germany of the 21st century presents a dramatically different face to the world. With a foreign policy that emphasizes multilateralism and a philosophy based on its civilian identity, Germany is assuming a leading role among the world's conciliatory powers. Dieter Dettke explains both cause and effect.

Global Europe Program
The Global Europe Program is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe” – an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality. But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.
