Beschreibungen/Notizen
The author aims to retrace the European commitment of Helmut Schmidt, as Chancellor of Western Germany. He argues that Schmidt's era is characterized by Germany's recovery of a leading role in Europe and the world, when the GFR emerged as the most important western military and economic force and as the cornerstone of Atlantic solidarity. Schmidt's approach to Europe was both pragmatic and moderate and was based on his conviction of the necessity of an American presence and a balance of power. His policy was made up of three main developments. First, was the re-launch of the French-German axis, with a convergent action based on common pragmatism and dynamism, especially in the economic field. Second, the birth of the monetary union that contributed to reinforcing the EEC. Third, the defence issue and the euro-missile crisis that contributed to the final crisis of Communism.
