Mediator vs. Cowboy. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 112
The war on terrorism in Afghanistan draws world
policy leaders into questioning the avenue of future
collaboration. Two actors play a key role both in
rebuilding the war- and terror-torn country and
restructuring the global conning bridge. The United
States pursue to maintain its «single, shining
principle: the cause of freedom,» (U.S. President
George H. W. Bush) which frames the idea of
democracy, and to expand this tradition as a path to
security. Germany, the global leader in economic
exports, pursues to revive Afghan roots and to expand
its global influence on the political stage, in the
UN Security Council. Disagreeing with the American
way of fighting against terror, Germany is maturing
to a conscious, self-sovereign nation. The author
shows how consistent and inconsistent German and U.S.
policies are. He reveals how Germany's stunning, past
commitments in Afganistan have been repeated, and
what lessons have not been learned. An Afghanistan
policy is to be the key to Central Asia.
