Abstract
Abstract This article is an introduction to the Zeitenwende discussion regarding Chancellor Olaf Scholz's announcement of a turning point of German foreign policy in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. After explaining the concept, the text reviews the prior tradition of a “civilian power” and explores the military and economic dimensions of Berlin's “policy reversal.” The article then probes the conflicted “public responses” and discusses the “implementation problems” in order to assess the efficacy of the change of course. The evaluation concludes with some comments on the “future prospects” of Germany's role in what has turned into a lengthy war of attrition.
