German Leadership, Responsibility, Solidarity?

MERCATOR Outcomes report (2015)

Germany is at the center of three ongoing crises facing Europe: the Euro crisis, the Ukraine/Russia and Syria crisis, and the refugee crisis. In some of these cases, German "leadership" has been praised, while in others it has been criticized. The one-day workshop brought together six national members of parliaments from Germany, Greece, Lithuania and Spain, and 10 experts from five European think tanks in Germany, Greece, Italy and Spain, and lastly, one key actor and shaper of German foreign policy.
