Die deutsch-französischen Beziehungen

France and Germany are Europe’s most important partners. Without them, there can be no real progress in the European Union. Yet conflicts between the two countries arise time and again. Are they too different to truly serve as a Franco-German driving force? This book explores the diverse, often little-known facets of bilateral relations. It examines the potential, limitations and challenges of a partnership that is fraught with tension yet constructive. This new edition examines the impact of recent upheavals and geopolitical crises on Franco-German cooperation: from the Covid pandemic and the war in Ukraine to Trump’s anti-European stance and the government crises in France and Germany.
