摘要:This article summarizes findings of a research project now under way at the International Institute for Comparative Social Research at the Science Center, Berlin: Security Policy Options of the West for the ’80s.1 The countries included are the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Great Britain, Holland, and the United States. The results and conclusions for Germany are presented in the form of theses, which are justified at some length; their justifications are simplifications of a much more complex picture. The choice for such an approach was determined in the belief that it may contribute to a greater clarification of some of the major problems of German security policy as we perceive them.
