German parties’ vision for development policy: 2025 federal elections

Volltext/Full text

In the second half of December, Germany's political parties released their manifestos for the Federal Election on 23 February. Traditionally, international and development issues have played a relatively minor role in German politics, even though Germany is the second biggest OECD donor country (in absolute terms) and one of the few countries that meet the UN target of spending 0.7 percent of gross national income (GNI) on foreign aid. However, in light of Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, the pressure to secure cheap energy sources, China’s growing global influence, and the disruptive power of Donald Trump even before his second presidency begins, international topics have gained prominence. Security, defence, and foreign policy demands are now addressed by most parties in the Bundestag, the German parliament.
