Trading Power
Trading Power
traces the successes and failures of a generation of German
political leaders at a time when the Bonn Republic was emerging as a
substantial force in European, Atlantic, and world affairs. Over the course
of the 1960s and 1970s, West Germans relinquished many trappings of hard
power, most notably nuclear weapons, and learned to leverage their economic
power instead. Obsessed with stability and growth, Bonn governments
battled inflation in ways that enhanced the international position of the
Deutsche Mark while upending the international monetary system.
Germany’s remarkable export achievements exerted a strong hold on the
Soviet bloc, forming the basis for a new
Ostpolitik
under Willy Brandt.
Through trial and error, the Federal Republic learned to
find
a balance among
key Western allies, and in the mid-1970s Helmut Schmidt ensured Germany’s
centrality to institutions such as the European Council and the G-7
–
the
newly fashioned leadership structures of the West.
