Germany in the Yugoslav crisis

Article Abstract:

The inconsistency in German foreign policy toward former Yugoslavia from 1990 to 1995 brings out its civilian power orientation to international relations and its dependence on helpful partners to achieve its goals. German policies toward Yugoslavia switched between indifference, assertiveness and ineffectiveness. Domestic pressures did not influence German foreign policy. Germany's dislike of military power and preference for multilateral solutions has guided her foreign policy.
