摘要

This case study analyzes the impact of crisis on West German foreign policy. While previous research focused primarily on threat and on the dynamics of superpower crises in a Cold War international system, this dissertation highlights the opportunity dimension of a crisis, and how it can be exploited by local actors in a post-Cold War context.;To explore this, the study examines the political and economic collapse of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) which began to unfold in late summer 1989. The main hypothesis is that this crisis directly affected the Kohl government and altered the content, process, and structure of West German foreign policy, while presenting Bonn with a unique opportunity to move forward a policy of reunification.;To gauge the crisis effects, the case study compares five dimensions of West German foreign policy before and during the crisis. These include: decision-makers' perception of the intra-German and external environment, policy objectives, degree of consensus, centralization of authority, and range of action to plan and implement foreign policy.;The findings indicate that a crisis transforms policy-making. Profound restructuring in West German foreign policy occurred, allowing the Kohl government to complete unification. The study suggests that in a post-Cold War international context, states enjoy more flexibility to exploit a crisis and to conduct foreign policy based on their conception of the national interest.
