Summary/Abstract: When Germany turns to the East, others are not sure whether to cheer or to tremble, the British Economist argued in February 1992. Indeed, German foreign policy after 1990 has attracted considerable attention. Germany has been equally blamed for a lack of commitment (see the abstention from the Gulf War in 1991 and from the more recent invasion in Iraq) as well as for its activism (recognition of the independence of Croatia and Slovenia in 1991).
