Unfortunately for them, Germany has no choice but to play the role of Europe’s “well-meaning hegemon.” The European Union needs leadership, and, as distasteful as seizing the initiative may be to most Germans, who associate hegemony with the disaster of Nazism and World War II, only Germany has the geopolitical resources to be a consistent leader.
Pour Alexander J. Motyl, et sans doute pour fêter dignement le centenaire de la #Mitteleuropa de Friedrich #Naumann, l’Allemagne doit donc assumer un rôle d’#hégémon_bienveillant.
