Abstract
German-American relations in the Third World constitute a vital
concern to the entire international community and represent a
particularly important subject for American policymakers at this
time. Over the past three decades, the FPG has developed into
one of the most important and stable allies of the United States.
However, during the same period the FRG, once little more than a
protectorate of the US, has become a medium-sized power, showing great economic strength and growing independence in pursuit of
its national interest. Though the FRG's interests continue to
strongly link it to the Western alliance, its increased economic
strength, growing independence in international relations, and
a more complex international environment makes differences of
opinion between Germany and America more likely. Today German-
American relations and foreign policy toward the Third World are
complementary. However, there are differences and potential
conflicts. This study examines the Third World policies of the
FPG and the US in an attempt to determine whether or not they
are likely to be a cause of conflict or cooperation in future
German-American relations.
