When the new German government decided to adjust foreign policy,the intention was to bear more responsibility.However,historical reasons and multiple limitations will make it impossible for a"policy of active diplomacy"to fully unfold soon.Yet the country’s status and independence,its relations with other big powers,and its leadership in the EU will strengthen.
When the German Grand Coalition formed by the two major parties of the Bundestag came to power in December 2013, the new government discontinued its constrained foreign policy profile and, by sending out signals of adjustment, expressed its ＂big power ambition.＂ The reality of German proactivity became obvious to the international community during the Ukraine crisis and the U.S. hacking incident. Although factors from German history will slow the full implementation of this policy in the near future, the country cannot but succeed in developing its position among big powers.
