TL;DR: In this paper, the authors pointed out that the Church of Realism can be a bit more catholic than Legro and Moravcsik claim, and corrected their mistake pointing in the direction of a fruitful research agenda for scholars.

TL;DR: For most of the past century, Germany's attitudes towards and practices of war have deviated from those of other Western countries as discussed by the authors and since the late 1980s, the discrepancy between Germany and its Western partners has, however, been shrinking, as Germany has shown a growing readiness to contribute to international military operations.

TL;DR: For instance, this article pointed out that there has been a renewed interest in pragmatism in International Relations (IR) since the 1990s following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact in 1989/1990 and the terrorist attacks on the twin towers in September 2001.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the foreign policy discourse in contemporary Germany and identify five schools of thought based on different worldviews, assumptions about international politics, and policy recommendations, and conclude that the spectrum of likely choices is narrow, with the two most probable strategies of "Wider West" and "Carolingian Europe" continuing the multilateral and integrationist orientation of the old Federal Republic.
