Abstract
The positioning of Germany in the process of European integration is best explained by the historical and cultural frames of politics. Leadership change in government 1998 and the domestic debate about the Lisbon Treaty of the EU in 2009 are test cases for Germany's new approach to Europe. The domestic debates on European integration show that political decisions are framed within the context of the EU institutions, not against them. Compromise is a way of life in the EU, and Germany's leadership is shaping integration as much as it is shaped by Europe. Twenty years after German unification the Euro-polity is firmly entrenched in German political life.
