Germany and its distinctive foreign policy tradition started to experience both domestic and international changes after the end of the Cold War. However, the major changing movement came up with Germany’s first post-war generation and their first red-green government. The objective of this thesis is to analyze change in foreign policy during the red-green government on the background of three important international crisis, Kosovo War in 1999, 9/11 Attacks and the Afghan War in 2001-2002, and the Iraq War in 2003. In this sense, foreign policy decisions of the red-green government in those crises and contribution to the political emancipation process toward a normal foreign policy are the topics covered along the chapters.
