Description
Summary:The article focuses on the commitment of the Federal Republic of Germany to the process of strengthening the Common Foreign, Security and Defence Policy of the European Union since the Lisbon Treaty has entered into force. Its aim is to show the role which the Berlin government has played in this issue in the recent years in the European arena, and also more broadly – internationally. The text highlights the key initiatives and strategies undertaken and developed by the administration of Chancellor Angela Merkel, analyses the debate over the issue of strengthening the German role in the process of European integration in the field of safety, and notes how Germans themselves perceive their place in the international arena. Artykuł omawia zaangażowanie Republiki Federalnej Niemiec w proces wzmacniania Wspólnej Polityki Zagranicznej, Bezpieczeństwa i Obrony Unii Europejskiej od wejścia w życie Traktatu Lizbońskiego do chwili obecnej. Po ukazaniu roli rządu w Berlinie w tym zakresie w ostatnich latach na scenie europejskiej, a także – na scenie międzynarodowej, autor wskazuje najważniejsze inicjatywy i strategie podejmowane oraz opracowywane przez administrację kanclerz Angeli Merkel, analizuje dyskusję nad kwestią wzmacniania niemieckiej pozycji w procesie integracji europejskiej na polu bezpieczeństwa oraz, jak sami Niemcy postrzegają swoje miejsce na arenie międzynarodowej.
