Abstract

European Union crisis, especially (Greece, Ukraine, immigration and withdrawal of the Great Britain) cast light on the behavior and orientation of German foreign policy. Given the status of this country, it is expected that due to the economic and political growth of the country, it enjoys legitimacy to gain more active role in international relations and even took the leadership role in European Union. On one hand, the great powers consider Germany as a de facto leader of the EU because it has the largest economy in the European Union and respect Angela Merkel as a powerful leader, but on the other hand there are doubts about matters of responsibility in this country’s foreign policy. There has been a question about ambiguity of German foreign policy toward EU for many years. This paper tries to study this ambiguity through two important issues of the EU which are: withdrawal of the Great Britain and the issue of immigration.
