The White Paper is a contribution by the German Government to the security policy debate in the country. Its purpose is to intensify and enrich this debate. In addition, it shows Germany's international partners and allies how Germany sees its future role in the world in terms of security policy. The 2016 White Paper is the first of its kind to be based on an inclusive participation phase. National and international experts as well as interested citizens were given various opportunities to participate in the discussion about the future of German security policy. As Europe was grappling with the shock of the Brexit referendum and warily eyeing Russia, Germany's security policy paper saw the country gradually assuming a larger defence role within the frameworks of NATO and the European Union. It also envisioned a future defence union of European states. |
