AbstractThis article examines the relation between the German identity and its security policy in Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq. In these three cases, the Federal Republic's authorities tried to preserve a German and European identity. In Kosovo and Afghanistan, the preservation of this identity went hand in hand with the defence of a Western identity which was promoted by the United States. However, during the Iraq crisis, both identities seemed incompatible to the German decision-makers. Thus, they distanced themselves from their American counterparts. As in the two previous cases, the security identity promoted here by the German government reflected the opinion of the majority of its citizens.
