The paper explores whether Germany's foreign policy can still be classified as that of a "civil power." It begins with a brief history of the Federal Republic and the defining characteristics of the "civil power" concept. Key events that have contributed to the erosion of this concept are examined, particularly Germany's involvement in Kosovo in 1999 and Afghanistan, alongside its refusal to participate in the Iraq War. The analysis highlights the complexities and shifts in Germany's international role over time.
