The German Army at a Crossroads of Modernization

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>This thesis examines the German civil-military relationship and the challenges the country is facing amidst modernizing reforms to the German armed forces. Over the last quarter of a century, new international security threats have manifested and continue to transform requiring Germany to adapt its military and defense policies in order to effectively protect itself and serve as a capable ally to other member states of international organizations such as NATO and the EU. The adaptations and reforms required of Germany have led to concern that the cornerstone civil-military relationship concepts are at risk. In this thesis I identify the major changes to the armed forces and security policy, evaluate their threat to the civil-military relations in Germany and explore Germany’s role in current global security challenges.</p>
