UN-Verhandlungen zu autonomen Waffensystemen: Wo bleibt Deutschland?

Die Regulierung letaler autonomer Waffensysteme bei den Vereinten Nationen kommt nicht voran. Deutschland muss eine Vermittlerrolle einnehmen und sich dafür stärker engagieren, meinen Elisabeth Hoffberger-Pippan, Vanessa Vohs und Paula Köhler.

Moskau-Besuch der Außenministerin: Das Ende der Illusionen

Die russischen Vorschläge für eine europäische Sicherheitsordnung reflektieren eine Rückkehr zum Großmachtdenken. Ob die Bundesregierung auf Moskaus Abkehr vom Prinzip der gemeinsamen Sicherheit angemessen reagieren wird, ist fraglich, meint Markus Kaim.

Projects

In this project, initiated in 1993 as “Ebenhausen Dialogue”, the General Inspector of the German Bundeswehr invites annually a group of high-ranking military leaders to discuss current topics of foreign and international security policy. The dialogue aims to facilitate a critical exchange of views. Temporarily there were up to three seminars: Dialogue with the Russian Federation (1993-2013), Dialogue with Russian Field Officers (2001-2009), and the ongoing Dialogue with Ukraine (since 1995).
Geostrategic changes and the deterioration of the German and European security environment over the last decade pose new challenges for Germany's security and defence policy. In the context of Sino-American rivalry and the question of Europe's capacity to act, expectations are growing, including among many partners, for Germany to become more involved and take on more concrete responsibility in the field of security and defence policy.
