Abstract

On 7 November, the German cabinet agreed, subject to the approval of the Bundestag, a US request for military support in the international campaign against terrorism. Berlin indicated its willingness to deploy up to 3,900 troops. The move follows recent attempts by Chancellor Gerhard Schröder explicitly to recast Germany's place on the international scene and move towards a more ambitious and multi-dimensional foreign policy. Although new principles to underpin the conduct of German foreign policy are now being espoused, the practical implications of this step are likely to be limited in the foreseeable future.
