In this paper, two questions relating to the foreign policy of the Federal Republic of Germany are analyzed: whether the usual discretion with which the German government handled its international relations until 1990 has been maintained since reunification and, if applicable, if this outlined attitude can be sustained in the future. Given that these questions are intimately linked to the west oriented policy that has characterized the Federal Republic and that this orientation has its most significant expression in the country's accession to the European Union and the Atlantic Alliance since the Cold War, the relations with these blocs as well as with countries of the former European socialist bloc, will necessarily have to occupy a central place in the analysis.
