Más información sobre el libro

The book examines Germany's abstention from UN Security Council Resolution 1973 during the Libya crisis in 2011, a decision that sparked significant political debate and controversy. It analyzes the factors influencing this choice, including military risk concerns, rapid resolution processes, and the U.S. position shift. The author argues that while the abstention marked a departure from traditional German foreign policy, the reluctance to engage militarily aligns with its historical stance. The paper provides insights into the implications for Germany's future foreign policy direction.
