Summary/Abstract: During the three administrations of Chancellor Angela Merkel, Germany has become an unquestioned leader of the European Union. Owing to its enormous economic capacity and the weaknesses of its main partners – France and the United Kingdom – Germany managed to enforce its own solutions to the financial crisis in the eurozone and resolving the conflict in Ukraine. It was highly problematic, however, to Europeanize the problem of immigrants, and the Euroconstitution and the implementation of the European Neighbourhood Policy should be viewed as failures.
